What do you have for breakfast????

VeganGal84

I make my oatmeal in the microwave! Very easy and quick and healthy.

kfitz10103

I microwave 2 whole eggs (not beaten or stirred up) w/ salt and pepper for 2 minutes....Tastes better than boiled to me..

I do this and put it on a bagel thin for a total of 250 calories and 17 g protein.

cedarhurst2006

My morning choices (I am so predictable)

3 Wasa light 7 grain crackers with Natural peanut butter

Mug Cinnamon Bread (search this term in MFP) the dry ingredients can be premixed in snack bags/hot out of the micro in 1min. 45 seconds

2 Slices Ezekiel sesame bread toasted with almond butter

I will almost always have a piece of fruit in addition.

I usually have scrambled eggs (1 whole egg, 2 egg whites) with wheat toast or a bagel thin. Sometimes I will have oatmeal mixed with frozen, sugar free berries. If I am in a hurry I make wheat toast with peanut butter.

On the weekend, I put together a mixture of 1/2 cup rolled oats (not instant), a pinch of salt, 1 teasp of ground flax seed, 1/4 cup of frozen blueberries and 1Tablespoon of dried craisins. I put them in a plastice container with a lid and store them in the freezer. When I get to work in the a.m., I add about 3/4 cup of water and cook it in the microwave for 3 minutes. I usually add sweetener and plain non fat yogurt at this point. It's delicious, filling and the whole thing adds up to 229 calories.

4 oz light Activia or 1/2 cup 1% milk
6 Prunes or 1 cup mixed frozen berries
1 cup Oatmeal sweetened with equal or multigrain bread toast 1 of the larger slices

I have been cooking steel cut oats in the slow cooker and portioning into tuperware bowls to heat up quickly in the morning.

I have some variation of these every single day. Except for the rare occasion that we go out for breakfast. Ill order an egg white omelette with spinach and tomatoes and a fruit cup.

2 pieces of light wheat toast with one wedge of laughing cow cheese... my new favorite flavor is light queso & chipotle!

-OR-

2 eggs-overeasy, cooked in 1/2 tsp. of Smart Balance with 2 pieces of dry wheat toast... (we have a toaster at work, so i cook eggs 5 minutes before walking out the door and wrap them in foil till i get to work!)

Hi and yes I am too!! Yikes! so they tell me the ideal breakfast for optimum body burn and to keep your furnace burning is to eat oatmeal and then to have an egg and 3 whites and a piece of fruit. This gives you about your 300 and helps keep t he body functioning and being able to lose weight. Not enough in the morn isnt good and eventually will make it hard to lose weight. I have it all ready so in the morn I just grab and go....Lots of good ideas on here...

About 4 or 5 times a week, I have oatmeal. Not the Quaker Easy Prep crap. 5 to 10 grain. Cook it slow with Dried Cherries, and Pecans. Little margarine and some Splenda Brown Sugar on top. Every Saturday Morning. Then put the balance in ZipLoc containers for work the following week. Around 350 caloris a serving. Fills me up all morning.

On the remaining days, it is usually a scrambled egg with some kind of leftover in it.

5:30 am 2 jimmy dean turkey sausage patties. (microwave 50 seconds) 120 calories

I have coffee every morning & just save at least 6oz of coffee & to make a shake at night so i can just grab & go in the morning

cherryObebe

I usually do 1 of 2 things...

1) Cherry Pie Oats - OMGosh, so good!
Put a pot on the stove with the right amount of water in it and turn to high. While I am waiting for that to boil, I take out some dark sweet unsweetened cherries from the freezer and put 1/4 in each of my serving bowls to thaw. Make myself a cup of coffee. By this time, my water is usually boiling and I dump in my steel cut oats, drop the temp to a simmer, cover and put the timer on 25 min. During this time I can take a shower and get dressed, etc. When the oats are ready, pour them over the cherries, add a tsp of pure vanilla extract and dust with some cinnamon. Mix & serve! Super delicious and super healthy! I believe they have microwave steel cut oats too, if you wanted to go that route.

2) Spray a saute pan with high heat canola spray over medium heat. Crack one egg white plus one whole egg (break yolk) into cold pan. Season with a dash of sea salt and couple of dashes of pepper. Throw in 1/3 cup of baby spinach and about 1/4 cup of diced fresh tomato. Sprinkle with garlic powder. Flip so both sides get cooked. Fold in half and serve with 3 slices of avocado (or you could do guacamole but it might have more sodium, etc) inside. You will find the calories so low that you could even add in a slice of toast! It is delish!

Lately its been all about oats for me! 1/2 cup quick oats, 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond breeze. 3/4 water. Top with some almonds and cinnamon. So satisfying!

On the weeks I let myself 'splurge' a bit and have a 0% greek yogurt with fresh fruit and honey. I've been loving peaches right now!

I'm definitely a sweet breakfast eater!

engineman312

peanut butter and banana sammich!! make the night before, and wrap it up and put it in the fridge.

bry_all01

I boiled a couple of eggs last night and had some oatmeal at my desk. Tonight I scrambled eggs and will have that and some more oatmeal. Sometimes I get crazy and add some fruit. Good luck!

killagb

I usually have a banana and some sort of protein bar, but I'm going to start replacing the protein bar with 2 hard boiled eggs as of tomorrow :bigsmile:

eviltwinkie

Hard boiled eggs, FF cottage cheese with stevia, lemon, and frozen blueberries. That's been my 'quick no cook' breakfast fav for awhile. And coffee with unsweetened coconut milk. I also do some protein bars off and on, when there's really no time. Usually have a small apple with it or an egg. Making bran and fruit muffins and immediately freezing them is good - just warm up in the micro.

Eggs in a cup in the micro, then tossed in a tortilla can also be quick. You don't have to watch it.

mrsredneckmorris

1/2 c cottage cheese and 6 slices of Peaches (from a can when out of season - no sugar added, packed in water)

Rae6503

My kids take like 12 years to eat a bowl of cereal. In that time I can scramble a couple of eggs.

pandasand

Hardboiled extra large grade AA egg and 2 cups of fat free milk. Super high in protein, delicious, and keeps me full until past noon.

Blackthorne99

I typically have one of several choices:

1) Chobani Greek Yogurt
2) El Monterey Breakfast Wrap
3) Power Crunch Protein Bar
4) Protein shake (either Premier Protein RTD or one made with Champion Whey Stack protein powder)
5) Cottage Cheese and fruit

I like to have a combination of protein & carbs in the morning so I get some immediately energy, and some long term energy to keep me going throughout the day. Some days I'll have two of these if I'm especially hungry.

AVinmill

My breakfast is my pre-workout since I workout in the mornings and it varies depending on what time i drag myself out of bed. I usually try to eat it about an hour before and it's usually one of 2 choices. It is either

3 to 4 egg whites with 1 whole egg fried up in 1tbsp of olive oil on whole wheat toast with skim mozzarella cheese and a small squirt of ketchup

or

1 cup of oats with cinnimon and milk and add a protein shake to that too.

Post workout, about 2 hours after breakfast comes breakfast #2. I add another 400ish calories with a home made oatmeal bar with some honey and PB in it and another protein shake.

I usually get a bit less than half my calories by 9am.

sally2303

OR
