    I'm not a big breakfast person unless it's for dinner. Lol.

    But when I do have it, it's usually a slim fast or today it was one of the new morning star egg, sausage and cheese biscuits. So good.

    I make a home made granola which lasts me almost a month. Each morning I have 1/4 cup of granola mixed with either honey or blueberry Oikos Greek yogurt. The crunch and chew makes it satisfying, the protein makes it filling.

    On the weekend, when I have more time to cook and clean up a mess, I might have a couple scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and veggies (mushrooms, green peppers usually). Sometimes I have toast with that, sometimes not.

    I like the active lifetsyle oatmeal or vanilla almond cereal, or kashi cereal with 1/2 c. 1% milk.
    I also eat the Thomas thin bagels (whole wheat) with 1 tbsp of polaners all fruit spread, or egg beaters and turkey bacon
    and can add red onion, tomato, spinach, mushrooms, etc to the egg beaters.

    Oh how I dislike breakfast so very much!

    I've been trying to force myself to eat these steel cut oats, but each day I forced myself to eat them, the more I started to dislike them. Now just the mere thought of getting up tomorrow morning and having them for breakfast makes me want to hurl.

    When I get up, I cannot consume anything except coffee. I do kind of like something like a biscotti to go with my coffee. I'm not big on sweets, but something like a little piece of gingerbread does me just fine first thing in the A.M. Otherwise, I just wait until around lunch.
  • I work 7a-4p at a desk job so I used to eat toast or a bagel early in the morning and found that doesn't work for me..so I eat dry cereal at about 8ish when I am fully awake, and then I eat one packet of oatmeal at my 10:00 break... On weekends though, it's typically eggs and toast :)
  • my regular breakfast consists of the following

    3 egg whites
    1/2 egg yolk
    2 slices of tomato
    small amount of sliced orange bell pepper
    1 cup of spinach

    1 slice whole grain toast with peanut butter

    8 0z of v8 fusion fruit and vegetable and green tea pomegranate

    total is about 325 calories,

    I take my breakfast with me and eat in the office. I have one packet of Ralphs organic oatmeal (110 calories), 1/4 cup of blueberries, and a piece of fresh fruit.
  • I have 30g of special k which is 114kcal and I have no more than 100ml of skimmed milk which is 35kcal. Sometimes I have a cup of normal tea, sometimes I have green tea or fennel tea.

    I love to have: 1/2 cup oatmeal cooked in 2/3 cup of milk. Slice in a banana and throw in a palmful of walnuts. Delicious and nutritious!

    Or.....2 pieces of toast with peanut butter (no sugar added), plus a few egg whites on the side.

    Or, a protein shake: 1 cup of skim milk, one scoop of vanilla protein powder, one cup of strawberries, and half a banana......blend and drink. (or use the whole banana to make it thicker).

    Feel free to check my diary, it's public.

    I know it's important to eat a good breakfast in the morning, but I have to go to class right after eating breakfast, so I don't like to have a really full stomach and then just sit for a few hours.

    I generally eat 2 pieces of light toast and some tea and/or grapes. I eat better "energy food" at lunch during my break.

    - hard boiled egg whites dipped in grey poupon mustard (tastes kinda like a deviled egg)
    - greek yogurt with strawberry preserves or agave nectar or almond butter
    - cottage cheese with preserves or a banana mashed in or mashed pumpkin or almond butter
    - smoked salmon pinwheels stuffed with cream cheese
    - egg white omelette w/ cheddar or goat cheese

    1/2 cup of oatmeal, coffee, and a banana
  • if i am going to be home (i am a SAHM, so i am home most mornings) i have a cup of coffee w a small splash of skim milk and either sugar, honey or agave nectar along with a container of GREEK yogurt (blueberry is a fav of mine, though i havent found one i don't like) with 1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean Crunch! mixed in. ... later i will eat a 2nd breakfast of some sort... 2nd coffee, and either a piece of fruit or a small (140 cal or less) bagel toasted w 1 Tbsp natural peanut butter spread over it.... I eat about 6 or 7 times a day.... a true grazer.

    On days i will be out all morning and will, most likely be eating a late lunch, i like a coffee and a smoothie:
    8 oz skim milk
    1/2 frozen banana
    2 Tbsp plain or vanilla greek yogurt (dependind on what i have on hand)
    1 Tbsp natural peanut butter
    1 scoop whey protein powder (either chocolate or vanilla)

    blend until the banana is fully incorporated. Its delicious and thick like a milkshake and has tons of protein, so really fills me up.... Its a killer for calories though, so i reserve it for either days i won't be eating other things until after my typical lunch time or if i have a higher than usual calorie burn that day.
  • I DESPISE cottage cheese, but normally I eat one of those Breakstone's Cottage Cheese Doubles (100 calories)! The blueberry one is my favorite of all the flavors (pineapple, strawberry, blueberry, or peach)! It reminds me of when I used to eat cream cheese and jelly sandwiches as a kid :tongue:
    But today I had 1/4 of a cup (uncooked) Steel cut Irish Oats with a few raisins and a bit of honey. It was definitely filling and oh so yummy...but I felt incredibly guilty for the HUGE carb consumption (which I try to stay clear of)!! Hope it doesn't backfire!!! Also, if I am on the run or too lazy to get up and grab my breakfast, I will stop by Dunkin and grab a bacon, egg, and cheese on an english muffin (and ditch the english muffin)! Of course all of these dishes are accompanied by a very nice piping hot cup of black coffee :wink:

    I had oatmeal & 1/2 a grapefruit this morning. I vary it day to day. Sometimes a bowl of cereal or a veggie omelet or an egg muffin sandwich or a breakfast burrito. The list goes on and on. Breakfast food is my favorite kind of food so I like to mix it up and try different things :)

    My diary is public so feel free to have a look. My breakfast depends on my schedule-if I work out really hard in the morning (spin class) I will have a heartier breakfast, if I am just going into work, I will usually have bran flakes, skim milk and berries or yogurt and berries (maybe granola). On the weekends I try to be a little more creative: frittata, steel cut oatmeal, etc.

    I try to incorporate a variety of foods because when I find myself tired of what I am eating, I typically binge. :grumble:

    Today I made a 2 egg omelet with a sprinkling of feta cheese, sliced grape tomatoes and fresh baby spinach. I sprinkled some red pepper flakes and a little salt and pepper on the inside while cooking. On the side, I had Beefsteaks Soft Light Rye bread toasted (1 piece) with a little butter. The rye bread I eat is 2 slices for 1 carb serving, about 65 calories for one piece and 130 for 2. It was a delicious breakfast!
