    My usual breakfast is 1/4 cup (dry weight) Whole grain Cereal consisting of steel cut oats, bulgar, buckwheat cooked up with a 1/4 cup of raisins and 2 Tbl. ground fresh peanuts, cooled off with a splash of almond milk and a little Equal. And most important Black Strong Coffee. It will hold me till lunch unless I'm on a long hard ride then I may need a S.Bch. To Go Bar or a piece of oatcake to tide me over.

    That would be 2 pieces of pancake with honey, an egg, some crispy bacon, a fresh banana and of course, a cup of coffee.

    Since it's healthy to have about half your calories for breakfast (linked to greater weight loss), I do that.
    I almost always have:
    1 banana
    12 oz skim milk + 1 serving Carnation instant breakfast + 2 T malted milk powder
    1 slice Brownberry whole wheat bread + 1.5 T Skippy natural peanut butter

    A frittata with spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, bacon or sausage, herbs, onion, hot peppers, and whatever else I might have that sounds good. This reminds me that I haven't made one in a while but I love them.

    Lately it's been a protein shake with Optimum Nutrition vanilla ice cream flavor and milk.

    Oh, and coffee. Always coffee.

    Depending on the day, I might have...

    Whole wheat toast with a tablespoon of peanut butter (plus a little sea salt) and skim milk
    Chex whole wheat squares with skim milk
    Clif bar
    Green smoothie (Greek yogurt, frozen fruit, banana, spinach, almond/soy milk, flax seed)

    They all keep me full until lunch. I'd like to eat oatmeal more often too.

    I have some type of lean red meat, egg-whites, cheddar cheese and Mrs. Dash almost every morning. Sometimes I'll add fruit or a tomato (or I'll save those for something else I have planned for another meal that day). And yes...that totally keeps me full for a very, very long time.

    "half your calories for breakfast" Now that's good information. If I can't eat more before exercising I'll have to try to work in a midmorning second breakfast . Thanks for the info.

    1/2 T olive oil in a pan, then I saute some combination of: onion, zucchini, eggplant, green pepper, hot pepper, mushrooms. I eat the big plate of hot sauteed veggies with some salsa and one or two scrambled eggs. And black coffee, fresh-ground and strong.

    I don't have a go-to breakfast, I make & eat whatever I wake up craving that day.

    Be it Oatmeal, French Toast, Denver Omelet, Chorizo, Egg & Potato Burrito, etc.

    I HATE repeating meals, unless it's like ridiculously delicious and slightly addicting >.<

    Feel free to add me and view my Food Diary for ideas. I'm always full and satisfied.

    I also post pictures and recipe links of ALL my daily meals.

    It's just another way to keep me accountable!

    I just started this bulletproof coffee thing and so far it has been a pretty good replacement for the huge breakfast meals I usually eat.

    :huh: :noway: :grumble:

    Weekday, yogurt and an apple.
    Weekend, omelet with veggies.
    Sometimes, hard boiled eggs.

    Most days I have "Overnight Oatmeal" for breakfast.

    1/3 cup old fashioned oats (Not instant)
    1/3 cup milk (I use almond)
    1/4 cup 0% greek yogurt (thick and creamy with tons of protein but no extra fat)
    2 tsp chia seeds
    2 tsp ground flaxseed
    1 Tbsp raw honey

    optional mix ins: whatever fruit/nuts you want. I almost always go with a Tbsp of slivered almonds for crunch and 6-8 frozen raspberries.

    Stir it all together, and let it sit in the fridge overnight. In the morning it's thickened up and the oats are soft, and it's very yummy and filling. And since I make it the night before, I don't have to worry about making myself breakfast in the morning when things are crazy rushed.

    I must be a weirdo because I don't have a go to food anytime LOL :laugh: I am too picky and get bored easy.

    I eat leftovers rarely, cottage cheese, cookies, cakes, cereal, eggs, whatever I want :laugh: sorry that's not much of an answer

    I have a few breakfast items in rotation: one is the Trader Joe's High Fiber fruit and nut cereal with a cup of berries and soy milk on top, another is 3 scrambled egg whites with a cup of steamed broccoli and a tablespoon of parmesan, another is overnight oats--1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal soaked in a jar with 1/2 cup water, top with 1/2 cup fat free plain greek yogurt. layer those three things, don't stir-stick in the fridge overnight. in the morning, stir and top with 1/2 cup berries. the three 1/2 cup items help me remember the recipe!!! I make the overnight oats in a mason jar so I can take it with me if I need to and I often eat that for lunch if I didn't have it for breakfast. If I have more time, I make a green smoothie and have that with a slice of low fat whole grain toast with one tablespoon fresh ground peanut butter. I LOVE breakfast food--it's my favorite thing to go out to eat for and I like all the things I make too!!! These things hold me until lunch. I teach, so I can't be eating in front of the kids, but I do drink green tea all day long.

    Oatmeal with almond milk, chia seeds, raisens, cranberries, and some raw sugar...

    I forgot to add, I make this the night before so the chia seeds get plumpy... I am thinking about trying the chocolate version with yogurt...

    If I'm having an early lunch I eat PB cheerios with light vanilla soy milk.
    If I'm having a later lunch bring on the oatmeal! I find nothing sticks to the ribs quite like oatmeal and a slice of toast. <- Sometimes I misbehave and add chocolate covered craisins.

    Eggs! Once I added eggs into my breakfast I have no problem staying full until lunchtime.

    Right now, breakfast is: 1 whole egg and 1 egg white fried, with spinach or green pepper, and a banana.

    Sometimes when I'm craving something crunchy and sweet I have a bowl of Kellogg's Genmai/Brown Rice Flakes, with plain yogurt plus a little zero-calorie sweetener. The only problem is I love that cereal so much, I end up snacking on it too...

    Another plus to eating eggs: you can't just snack on them anytime, lol. :)

    Most days I make old-fashioned oatmeal with flavored kefir milk. It tastes really good and I don't even need to add any sweetener. I'll add fruit while it's cooking too, blueberries, raspberries etc. sometimes I add cinnamon or vanilla. It does keep me full until lunch.
