Breakfast Foods

Gogo

Today I had a whole wheat english muffin with a piece of fruit, then mid morning I had a handful of almonds (unsalted).

Sometimes I have a fruit and yogurt parfait from McDonalds.

If you are not crazy about breakfast, try melting only one slice of a mild white cheese, like Havarti or Munster on a low calorie wheat bread with a slice of tomato. I do this in the toaster oven and it holds me over till lunch. EAT SLOW...that helps too. I always have a small bag of almonds in my purse to help ease that morning hunger!

This sounds like a dessert - but its breakfast.

Layer items in your bowl in this order:

1/2 cup lowfat granola
1 small sliced banana
1/2 (small 6 oz container) fat free vanilla yogurt
just a sprinkle of more granola
1/2 cup sliced strawberries, or blueberries, or blackberries, peach, whatever
The rest of the yogurt
sprinkle of granola or fruit - for top garnish

You'd be surprised by the amount of food in your bowl. I serve this to guests for breakfast all the time. No cooking required. Served in small a glass bowl this breakfast is also quite pretty.

In the summer, I make a breakfast smoothie so I can sip it all morning (since I usually don't have the time nor can I stomach eating a breakfast fast).

Frozen fruit (I like mango)
silken Tofu (you don't taste it, but it's very good for you and the reason I have long term energy)
a little juice (or you can use water)
a banana
1 tbl wheat germ
1 tbl soy protein

blend, put in reusable container with fat straw.

For breakfast I usually make a little sandwich wiiith...

1 whole wheat English muffin
1 slice of tomato
1 egg, yolk broken and microwaved
1 tsp of margarine on one side
1 piece of skim cheddar cheese (I use Kraft singles because they're simple to find)

And that's it! Now I'm fine with the fat intake on this one, but some others might be a bit skeptical (oh, I also of course follow all this with a piece of fruit!). But I also used regular margarine for this, so by all means of course feel free to buy some low-fat, low-sodium margarine (I just didn't happen to have any in the house!).

I sometimes add a little turkey bacon (low-sodium) to it, too.

I split my breakfast up. At 6:00 am I normally have 2 slices of 35 calorie toast with a little bit of margarine and some cinnamon and sugar (just enough to taste it). Then around 10 I have a low fat yogurt.

depending on what mood i'm in these are my 3 favourite breakfasts:

* 1 (or 2 if im particularly hungry) slice of wholemeal bread with 1 teaspoon of peanut butter
= 250 cals for 1 slice, 350 cals for 2

* 2 poached eggs on 1 slice of wholemeal bread with a very thin layer of lurpack light butter ((2/3 teaspoon perhaps))
= about 300 cals & very filling

* chopped banana, handful of raspberries or any berry you like mixed in a bowl of 1 pot of weight watchers/activia fruit yogurt
= about 250-300 cals & to avoid the added sugar u could just use the berries in place of the banana


These breakfasts always fill me up so that i'm always content & full until dinnertime which is always a good thing
Hope this helps,
Emma

Oatmeal w/blueberries and walnuts. I also add a scoop of protein sometimes. I never get hungry till afternoon!

Try adding in egg whites to your oatmeal Delicious!!!

I have the same problem, and so I break up my breakfsast into two parts. I eat a bowl of cereal (low cal like kashi or special k) with 1/2 fruit and low fat milk. Then around 10-10:30 when I'm hungry again I eat a low fat yogurt or a string sheese and piece of fruit.

Smaller meals every few hours do me a lot of good and keep me from binge eating.

Good luck!

I do this too! I find two small breakfast meals really keep me from those crazy cravings by the end of the day. My first one is around 7:30-8am then my second around 10-10:30.

These are my favorite breakfast meals...
oatmeal with ff milk
natural peanut butter on whole wheat crackers
Kashi honey flax cereal (forget the name)
Kashi waffles
protein powder blended with cottage cheese & FF milk...very good
1 serving of Cheddar Cheese(not lowfat, yuk) on WW toast
boiled eggs with WW toast

Add a whole grain toast with natural peanut butter to your Special K breakfast- you'll stay fuller longer.

I try to change up my breakfast...

First I drink about 12 oz of water. I try not to eat until my stomach tells me I'm hungry. Then, I have one fruit (peach, strawberries, canalope, grapefruit, orange) and one piece 100% whole wheat bread with a small amt of almond butter. I eat the fruit first, then the bread when I feel hungry again, usually around 9-10 am which helps me get to lunch time.

~or~

I have a plastic bowl / with a lid that is for microwaving eggs whites. I add the egg whites, then chopped tomatoes, onions, green pepper, and last I add a sprinkle of 2% cheese or Fat Free Cheddar Cheese. Microwave for 1 minutes unless there is still some liquid inside then I'll add 10-30 more seconds. I had some Morton Lite salt / pepper once it's done. This is great when I'm at work... of course if you have access to a frig and microwave. I might have 1/2 a whole wheat english muffin if I get hungry before lunch.

missbabybee

I agree, I also love oatmeal for breakfast. If I will be in meetings or on conference calls all morning, I add some nuts in my oatmeal at breakfast time, but if I will be sitting at my desk, I just bring a serving of nuts with me. If I get hungry, I just nibble on the nuts and it holds me over to my next meal.

I have TONS of extra zucchini, and every Sunday I have waffles, so I came up with the idea to make zucchini waffles! They're really good, healthy, and a great way to start your day =]

2/3 cup grated zucchini, lightly packed

1 ½ cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar

1 ½ cups milk
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

In a small mixing bowl combine flour, salt and baking soda.

In a large mixing bowl beat eggs. Add milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar. Beat in dry mixture until fluffy. Add grated zucchini.

Grease waffle iron and follow own waffle iron instructions.

This makes enough for 3-4 people. Enjoy!

I either have sugar free oatmeal maple and brown sugar flavor and yogurt or half an egg sandwhich and yogurt. I use one slice of bread and cut it in half, 2 egg whites and one whole egg fried in olive oil pam spray, 2% kraft cheese and mustard. Its around 250 calories for the sandwhich, so depending on what yogurt you get its about 300 to 350 for the enire breakfast and you feel full for a long time. Try drinking tea, black coffee, or water with breakfast to help make you feel fuller.

I love a generous helping of steel cut oats with maple syrup and apples and/or chopped almonds

I love a big breakfast, but I found I had to give it up for a small morning meal and equal size snack - no matter how much I ate at 8 AM, I was starving by 10.
Peanut butter is the thing that keeps me full the most. I have 1-2 T on a piece of light wheat bread, or mixed in with my oatmeal if I have time in the morning. The best thing is it's so fast and I can eat it on the run (a terrible habit!)
Make sure you drink plenty of water with foods that have soluble fiber (like oats and nuts). The water helps to expand the fiber so you feel full. I always down a big mug of water with my pb.

I just got the Biggest Loser Cookbook. It has some easy and quick ideas. I was told that I need to add more protein to my morning meals. I try to add the protein powder to my milk.

AmandaJ

I have either 1 serving of quick-cooking oatmeal with 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 banana, 1 tsp. flaxseed meal, 1 tbsp. sliced almonds and splash of brown sugar or two slices of whole wheat bread with scrambled eggs in between with 1 oz pepper jack cheese and some avacado.

I stil eat a morning snack and then lunch but then I am full again until dinner.

Linsmom
