Breakfast help pleaseeee

Options
For breakfast I usually have one egg and one egg white scrambled. I usually work out in the morning so this gets me through - as some things dont seem to. Im getting bored with eggs and I need suggestions as to other somewhat healthy things to eat for breakfast. I find that if i eat cereal or oatmeal I load in the sugar to make it taste like something (ooops) ANY ADVICE?!

    Try Quaker Weight Control oatmeal in Maple & Brown Sugar flavor...I'm the same as you...I can't stand regular-tasting oatmeal, and I tend to load it with sugar or brown sugar.

    This Weight Control one (particularly the maple) already has enough sugar flavor that I only add 1/2 a teaspoon (if that!) and it's PERFECT!

    I literally eat it every morning for breakfast!

    i used to load on the sugar too and butter in my oatmeal, I started eating frosted shredded wheat or other already sweetened cereal, after a while I didn't want the sugar anymore, but I do however add one tablespoon to my oatmeal, grits, rice and grape nuts lol!!!!

    How about cereal with milk or yogurt? Or yogurt and fruit? Toast with peanut butter is nice too.

    I love homemade baked beans. They're so much more flavourful than the ones from a tin.

    There's a recipe on my blog. --> http://vegan20eleven.blogspot.com/2011/01/baked-beans-on-toast.html

    That serves four, and you can get away with using one tablespoon, or maybe even half a tablespoon of oil.

    I'm not a big breakfast eater, so I eat Chobani yogurt. It has a lot of protein and no refined sugar. It's sweetened with cane juice....140 calories, 0 fat. Lots of flavor, curbs appetite.

    1/3 cup irish oatmeal cooked in 2/3 cup water with either 1/4 cup of dried fruit or 1 cup of frozen berries
    200 calories.
    Very filling.
    Sweet enough from the fruit that no additional sugar is needed.

    i usually have a low fat yogurt and a cereal bar, if you find your loading on the sugar unto cereals maybe try switching to a sweetner?

    I second the porridge idea. I currently buy sachets of porridge with dried fruit already added. My favourite is cranberry and raspberry but I also add a handful of fresh blueberries for some extra interest - I love the way they burst and make purple juice. I find I have much more energy to last until I next eat. Also had a bowl as a snack today a couple of hours before my circuit training class and felt great the whole way through so I'll try it again.

    I eat a sandwich with a piece of whole wheat bread, 2 slices of turkey bacon (my weakness!), and a slice of 2% american cheese. Love it! And only 150 calories!

    Think out of the box - who says you have to have a breakfast food per say? Have a lean turkey sandwich, apple with peanut butter or tuna and whole wheat .... for example :-)

    PS YOGURTS

    Oatmeal with peanut butter; oatmeal with Sun Crystals, skim milk, and cinnamon. Smoothies with or without protein powder, fruit, yogurt and spinach (no, you honestly can't taste the spinach at all). Fried egg with cheese on whole wheat english muffin. Fat Free Vanilla yogurt topped with granola. Those are some of the things I eat for breakfast :)

    I put a cup of berries in my oatmeal along with a tablespoon of cinnamon, don't even notice the lack of any sweetner as the berries are enough.

    Breakfast is the best meal since there are soo many low cal options out there.
    I like to have some flax seed waffles (usually 170 cals for 2) with a morning star meatless sausage (usualy 80 cals for 2) and a 1/4 cup of sugar free maple syrup. Delicious.

    Also if you find yourself loading up your oatmeal with sugar (which isn't good since sugar doesn't help our metabolism and prevents us from burning fat) you may want to buy your favorite sugar free fruit jam or preserve. I like guava. I'll put a tablespoon of that in my oatmeal and mix it in.

    You can make a low cal breakfast burrito with egg whites and soyrizo (meatless chorizo), or a low cal breakfast sandwich (low cal english muffin whole wheat, w/ egg whites, cheese, and lean ham).

    Good Luck, get creative.

    I have a sandwich with a piece of sprouted bread and 1 Tbsp of raw nut butter. It's tasty, full of protein, and will cost you only 160 calories.

    I just buy the tubs of protein powder and mix 2 scoops up with water and maybe some milk depending on the powder in a shaker then pour it on the porridge oats mix it together and chuck the raspberries on top before zapping it :)
