What do you eat for breakfast? Bored of egg whites!

jencornelius

I do 1/4 c oatmeal with 1 tbsp raisins, 1 tbsp sugar free french vanilla powdered creamer, a sprinkle of cinnamon and one pkt of equal. Microwave and you have a filling breakfast in about 90 seconds. I also use the 100% fruit spreads (like Smuckers) as a change of flavor sometimes.

Whole wheat tortilla, one egg beater (or scrambled egg) a pinch of low fat cheddar and 1 tbsp of salsa.

Kashi cereal also fills me up. Honey almond flax is my fave.

amelia2033

cooked low calorie rolled oats ( micro wave 90 seconds ) with either honey and skim milk, or brown sugar and skim milk... it will keep you full for hours

Wow that is a LOT of cheese you are eatting. I find cheese is high in calories with out giving a lot of bang for the buck, in other words you still feel empty afterwards and hungry soon after.
I also recommend against most cereal products as they are so high in calories.

Why not try a whole banana, half a cup of strawberries and mix them up with half a.cup.of Greek Goddess honey Greek yogurt. Very filling, packed with protein and vitamins, but with a low calorie count.
Or an egg white omlete with fresh baby spinach, tomato, and some chopped up onion. No cheese. Again high in bulk so you feel full but low in calories.

Edit: I am also SHOCKED at how many people are recommending prepared grain or bread products, which are notoriously high in calories versus their small servings size.

i ate an english muffin with peanut butter on it for years, but i stopped eating bread for breakfast a while back and i feel much less weighed down throughout the day; plus i don't worry as much about carbs for the rest of the day. i eat a smoothie every morning and it's freaking delicious. also keeps me full until lunch.

1/2 cup skim milk (can adjust for thickness)
2 oz plain greek yogurt (estimated: i use 2 big tbsp)
1 banana
4-5 chunks frozen pineapple
3-4 frozen slices of orange

blend and enjoy! makes about 3 cups of smoothie. i buy full pineapples and cut them up and freeze them - i go through at least a pineapple a week. same with oranges - buy the big cheap bag and slice them all up and freeze them. if it isn't sweet enough for you, you can add honey, but i don't think it needs it. if you aren't full enough, you can add oats or protein powder too, i hear (haven't tried this).

SOUNDS YUMMY!

I make granola to go bars (healthy cooking recipe) and have one of those. It makes a big pan and stored in an airtight container lasts me for a couple of weeks (unless hubby eats them, too). I change up the dried fruit/nut combo, too, for something different. Instead of cranberry-almond, I tried dates and/or dried mango and pistachio. yummy. The toasting of the oats, nuts, coconut beforehand is key, but doesn't take very long. I also make a homemade peanut butter granola and put a 1/4 cup of that on nonfat greek yogurt. It is so yummy, filling, and gets rid of those cravings for something dessert-ish. I never thought I could make granola bars and homemade granola, but it is so easy and quick. I will never buy this in the store again - just make my own.

Since I've started jogging in the mornings I've been eating some fruit (usually strawberries) and a cappuccino protein shake

mgtighe

Oatmeal with fruit, nuts and 2 tablespoons of juice.

Cold or warm SooFoo (a super healthy mixture of whole grains, rice and lentils).

A bean burrito with olives, vegetables. I make these in quantity and freeze them.

Neekahxo

1/2 cup of raw oats with 1 cup of milk and 1 scoop of whey protein.
That's because I'm how a low calorie, high protein diet though .

I usually eat what i make my kids for breakfast. I think that breakfast gets burned faster at least for me so i will have pancakes (2 small ones), cereal, bagels or whatever else and a very small cup of coffee. I just joined this site last week so i have no idea if i lost weight yet, i havent done my weekly weigh in lol. but in all honesty as long as you follow serving sizes i think you can eat whatever in the morning

Fruit or porridge with a giant mug of herbal tea is my usual breakfast during the week (if I have breakfast).

At the weekend I would have poached eggs with smoked salmon/kippers/spinach, english muffins, marmite on toast etc.

When I really fancy a treat I'll have huevos rancheros with homemade refried beans. That is a hearty breakfast.

Fat free yoghurt and fruit, usually a chopped banana + handful of berries.

Is everyone here American? I feel like an English minority amongst all the cup measures and pancakes!

Venturin

Overnight oatmeal is my absolute fave....and easy because you prepare it the night before.....

In large mug, I place....
1/3c oats
1/3c almond milk (or milk, or water)
1/3c plain greek yogurt
1/2 tsp brown sugar blend splenda
Then add the toppings of your choice....you can make different variations every single day (I have added blueberries, bananas, raspberries, strawberries,cocoa, peanut butter, and even protein powder....the possibilites are endless)

Then you put it in the fridge overnight, and eat it cold in the morning.....mmm my favourite

Wow this sounds terrific!

Not everyone, but we Brits are a minority for sure!
