Two vitabrits with lactose free milk or about 5 prunes and puree'd apple. I'm not a big breakfast person either so whatever I can manage is better than none!0

Hi
I try to have a variety.......
*scrambled eggs 2 or 3 with 40 ml of lite milk cooked in the microwave with a piece of toast (no butter)
*50 g of low fat muesli with 100 ml of low fat, low sugar yoghurt
*220 g baked beans with toast and 10 g lite olive oil spread
Also sometimes porridge or 200 g fruit salad with 100 g yoghurt.
Always with coffee, 30 ml lite milk and sweeteners.
I used to do what lots of people do and skip breakfast or eat light but I have learned and LOST (more importantly) eating bigger and better.
I am loosely following Curves plan and am loosing, toning AND EATING like never before. Over 9 kg in two months. I have tried lots of different things and they work for a while but then my body would adapt and the weight loss would stop. I now have my metabolism working for me rather than against me. I eat more but I do exercise and eat right. I feel great and it is easy.

I love breakfast! It's probably my favourite meal!!
I alternate between :-
- protein 1st cereal w. hilo milk
- weetbix and hilo milk w. fruit
- a poached egg on toast with baby spinach
- cottage cheese on a piece of toast with lettuce/baby spinach and a few cherry tomatoes
and if i've been training first thing I usually add a banana/yoghurt too.0 -
2 poached eggs on a slice of wholemeal toast. I sometimes add 97% fat free ham, Beerenberg hot tomato chutney and mushrooms0

I have a Smoothie and a boiled egg and of always my morning coffee.
Honestly you don’t taste the spinach and with the added fruit (2 pieces) you get a lovely sweet smoothie.
Green Health Smoothie Base
I process everything in a stick blender
1 cup Fresh Baby Spinach
10 Almonds
1 – 2 Teaspoons unprocessed Bran
50 – 100 Grams Natural Yogurt
Now add anything you want!
I add ½ teaspoon of fennel seed and ½ teaspoon of ground ginger (they are both antioxidants and help the digestive system) but leave them out if you want.
Some days I have 1 Whole Frozen Banana OR
½ Banana + 1 Peach with skin OR
½ Banana + 50 grams of mixed Berries OR
½ Banana + 100 grams Honeydew Melon + tsp fresh parsley
½ Banana + 3 Slices of Pineapple + Tbsp grated Carrot
It's Yum and only takes a couple of minutes to mix up0 -
Bircher museli and fruit. It's gooey oaty-ness rocks my world and keeps me full till lunch. No snacking woop woop !
Oh god I love brcher muesli too! My days are mixed. Some days multigrain bread w/ vegemite, other days bircher muesli, and a piece of fruit.
I'd like to do more smoothies, I go back to work at the end of the week, bit hard to do a smoothie then.0 -

Oh how good is the beerenberg stuff! I took a trip up there a couple of weeks ago and had to fight myself not to buy dozens of bottles
. Love their chutneys... 0 -
Lately I've been alternating between an apple and a non fat yoghurt (forme Caramel Tart ftw) and an Uncle Tobys quick sachet of oats with milk. Not the lowest in sugar option out there I know, but first thing in the morning I just want something that hits the spot, and to me that does.0
-
i think we all have similar breakfast options. I love Uncle Toby's protein plus with soy or 30g of oats topped with 1/2 stewed apple and a tablespoon of low fat greek yoghurt which i let sit until the oats have soaked up all the water from the apple then eat. YUM0

I make my own muesli, cos i had a lot of trouble finding one low in sugar. mine current version has oats, nuts, seeds and finely chopped dried cranberries and crystallized ginger. i have a small about (50g) with yoghurt and milk. there are heaps of recipes on the web for raw and baked muesli, or just experiment.0

I find it difficult to eat breakfast. I didn't for years but then had babies and being pregnant made me feel obligated to have breakfast to start the day for the nutrition. For breakfast I usually have something like:
-poached egg on a piece of toast.
-up-and-go.
-one egg and fruit.
And always a coffee with it.
I don't do cereal, I can't face it in the morning, though every now and then have porridge.0 -
Yeah it is great, and low in calories as well. I don't bother with marj/butter, and just have some chutney instead.2 poached eggs on a slice of wholemeal toast. I sometimes add 97% fat free ham, Beerenberg hot tomato chutney and mushrooms

Can't believe that no-one else in this group has said vegemite toast! That and a boiled egg ...
Edit - oops just noticed LimeSlime's post ...0 -
Vegemite on vitawheats in the car on the way to work
I have only just started eating breakfast since being on MFP
And I can't bear getting up any earlier to make breakfast!0 -
Carmans - Classic Fruit Muesli with some skim milk. Best cereal ever.0
-
I usually start out with some fruit (while my husband has an early brekkie before he goes to work). Most days I workout once he has left for work, then have my second breakfast - most often porridge with peanut butter and apple or banana.
On weekends we usually cook eggs, or it might be toasties with cheese/tomato/avocado or just a muesli bar and an apple if we are really on the run. Be Natural muesli bars are my favourite.
My favourite pre-long-run breakfast is a fruit muffin with peanut butter and banana.0 -
I used to be a cereal fanatic, but after starting to watch my calories I have steered clear of my favs because i go a little crazy.
I now cycle between the following dependant on how I feel:
- oats with skim milk, cinnamon, vanilla essence and honey/stevia sugar.
- two eggs and two sanitarium "vege sausages" in a can (i know " eww IN A CAN!!) but they are awesome!! (to me anyway
)
- two mountain bread slices with some penut butter and a little honey (naughty I know, but awesome!)0 -
Well I used to be addicted to Subway bacon and egg but have traded it in for a poached egg on toast using my microwave container and making everyone jealous of it at work (can't eat when I first get up).0

I found these great mueslis at a deli. They're called "The Muesli" (97% sugar free) and I have 25gms of it mixed with 25gms of "Chia Seed Blend" and a big spoon of Jalna yoghurt. It doesn't look like much in the bowl, but it REALLY keeps me going without any hunger for a good three hours afterwards.0
