What kind of breakfast keeps you feeling full?

weyrebel

I need protein and carbs to get me through the morning. I usually make an english muffin sandwich. Take a microwave safe bowl, spray with pam, add 1/3 cup of egg beaters, 1/3 cup of Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles, and microwave for a minute to a minute and a half. Toast muffin if you want and then just make your sandwich. It's super easy and you can even make it to go and warm it up at work! You can also adjust the amount of ingredients to your appetite! Or add ham and or veggies to it. You can pretty much keep it under 200 calories. Hope this helps!

The only thing that works for me is muesli with unsweetened almond milk. I like Seitenbacher Muesli #3 For Active People and Dorset Cereals Simply Fruit & Seeds.

I'm in a breakfast rut. I eat the same three meals for breakfast all the time basically these days, but they do keep me full.
Greek yogurt and banana
Banana and peanut butter
1 egg, 1 whole grain toast and 1 cup of OJ

So boooring. Although the other day I did have a giant booze-less Strawberry Daquiri for breakfast. Crazy times.

That Go Lean stuff makes my tummy very angry. Can't eat anything with chicory root. Owies.

I eat a big bowl of oatmeal right after I wake up (8AM), then follow it 2 hours later with some Greek yogurt once I get to work. Keeps me full until 3PM or so!

I usually have two hard cooked eggs on the go before work. Usually a snack of fruit or vegetable before lunch.

On the weekends I eat my Kashi GoLean Crunch with 1% milk . It is my favorite because I love how crunchy it is!

Sometimes I make breakfast burritos if I'm in the mood and freeze them for a week.
They include scrambled eggs, green pepper, spinach, tomato, a sprinkle of low-fat cheese, and a whole wheat tortilla. Yum!

Oatmeal, toast and peanut butter. I find having multiple things satisfies me much more than an equal amount of only one thing.

Bagel, lo-fat cream cheese and OJ

I really enjoy Kashi Go Lean Honey almond flax with 1 cup of skim milk. It seems to keep me full all the way thru lunch. Sometimes I will have a protein bar with a huge glass of water. Or vanilla greek yogurt with a little granola and fresh fruit mixed in.

I have 2 favorites, oatmeal, plain or flavored, with an English muffin. Second is 2 egg whites a price of low fat cheese, a price of low fat ham on a toasted English muffin!! Both keep me full until lunch!

I used to eat high fiber oatmeal for breakfast everyday -- and within an hour I'd be starving again!

I've switched over to 2 hard boiled eggs, white only (I know the yolk has a lot of nutrients, but I can't handle the texture!) and one slice of whole wheat bread, and a cup of coconut milk. It keeps me full for hours!

I have to have LOTS of protein and not so many carbs. If I eat carbs first thing, then within 2 hours, my blood sugar will crash and I get sick. Protein = no crash and no hunger for a few hours.

honey roasted peanuts and a piece of cheese.......

I'm a creature of habit too:)

KBrushing

Isagenix Protein Shake (chocolate or vanilla) with banana or peanut butter added. Keeps me going until lunch.

If I HAVE to have breakfast for some reason, I usually just go with a string cheese. Sometimes a banana with that. Very filling imo and usually less than 100 calories.

lilRicki

my favorite is eggs...I toss 2 eggs, half a bell pepper, green onion, mushrooms and a slice of soy cheese in the microwave and tada! Fast and filling

Eggs and veggies

Great ideas -- I may go back to eating egg whites again, because those did keep me feeling fuller longer. I used to make egg white scramble on a bagel thin, with a lean canadian bacon slice, and a small slice of cheddar and mustard. That could keep me full well until lunch time. Also, I keep reading about chia seeds. I just might try them. I've heard they are great for energy, too, and that a lot of endurance sport athletes and ultra marathoners swear by them. Since I'm heavily into running and want to do better in my half and full marathons, maybe it's time to break out of my comfort zone and try something new.

And, I'm sure it would be beneficial for me to throw more fruit and berries into my breakfasts.... Some vitamin C to help the body absorb the great nutrients in the whole grains. Hmmmmm... I think I need to work on a breakfast overhaul in 2012 LOL. Thanks for sharing, all!

Oatmeal and 1L of water to drink (four cups)

I agree with the scrambled eggs-one whole egg plus one white cooked in Pam with cheese and salsa. Lots of coffee!

I have read to never eat your fruit with a meal, so I always eat my fruit as a snack between meals. Frozen blueberries, an orange, 2 dried plums, Granny Smith apple, small banana, 2 or 3 fruits a day.

MzGrinch9250

1/4 cup Steel Cut Oats w/blueberries and Splenda Brown sugar blend. This will keep me full for 3-4 hours.

I'm an egg eater too :-) I like to make "egg cups" by filling a muffin tin with egg whites, crumbled turkey sausage and a lil cheese and baking that. Its an easy way for me to have a quick hot breakfast and easy portion control its less than 100cals for one so I will have toast or fruit with that too.

I have a cup-o-joe first thing, while getting ready.
I quarter up an apple for the one hour commute. Love Fujis or Braeburn.

At work, I take a break around 8ish and have one of these breakfasts:

>>Egg Beaters, and a slice of high protien toast (Love Arnold's high protein whole grain!)

>>Kashi Hot Cereal made with 1% milk, banana, walnuts and a few raisins

>>Kashi Go Lean Berry Crisp or Almond Crunch and the 1% milk

>>Greek yogurt and some fruit.

I agree with others, you have to find the right combination of protein and fiber, with just a little of some good fat.

I like the idea that Kashi has, but it tastes like twigs to me. I want to get as much protein and fiber in my diet, but I can't really eat a whole serving size of this stuff before I give up and find something else to eat.

Eggs are my favorite breakfast for feeling full. I like to boil a bunch of them on the weekend and peel and eat them on the weekday mornings before work. I also like scrambled on the weekends.

Sometimes I will eat an apple with breakfast, just because it is yummy and generally appetizing in the morning.

I can't eat most cereals for breakfast, because about 10 minutes later I'm even hungrier than before I ate the cereal.

I love turkey sausage. I might have to try this soon.

LMAO that's just wrong! That was what my previous response was for. LOL

santamommy

I eat sausage and eggs with whole wheat toast..550-650 calories...I make breakfast my biggest meal and most sinful meal of the day. I can usually go past lunch without being hungry.
