What do you like to have for breakfast?

Usually greek yogurt... mostly because when I was in school, I could grab it, run out the door and eat it it during class without being too loud or having much smell! If I'm feeling extra hungry one day, I'll grab a piece of fruit too. Now that it's summer time, I'll probably be looking into some other stuff as well

Emerald makes "Breakfast On the Go" in Maple and Brown sugar. It has a mixture of oat clusters and nuts and has only 190 calories in one pack. I usually eat that especially when I'm in a rush and a fruit.

Chobani plain ff yogurt; 1/4 C blueberries; 1 tsp flax meal; pkg of stevia; dollop of whip cream

Tacos, 2 small corn tortillas; filling of 1 slice canadian bacon, juilienned; 1/2 C egg beaters; 1 TBS Parm cheese; 1 C fresh spinach sauted with 1/2 C bell pepper & onion frozen mix; homemade taco seasoning. I mix it all together and add to the warmed tortillas. Sometimes I make a batch and freeze. Re heat frozen in mw for 1 or 2 mins.

Spinach and fresh tuna 2 egg omlet with special sauce (low cal and I will send anyone the recipe)

1 CRice Chex with strawberries, blue berries or cantalope w/ 1/2 C almond milk; pkg stevia; a dollop of whip cream.

Add me as a friend and look through my diary! Except today. I had to run out the door WAY quicker than normal and I just grabbed a granola bar which was NOT enough!! Usually my breakfasts are between 250-400 calories!

Oatmeal= 1/3 c. quick cooking oats + 2/3 c. water in the microwave 1 minute. Add 1/4 c. unsweetened soy milk = 120 cals. Add some fruit if you want and have time. It's quick, filling, low cal.

When I was working, I had a protein shake almost every single morning. I like breakfast foods but I'm never very hungry in the mornings so I usually have something small and quick. I like:

Toast with PB and jam
Half a whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon
Breakfast burritos (which I make on Sunday and then freeze) with egg, salsa, cheese and spinach/beans
Pre-made and frozen French toast which I heat up in the toaster, spread PB and jam on top and make into a sandwich
Oats with protein powder (takes 5 minutes to make, can let it cool while you shower and eat when you're done)
Boiled eggs and some fruit
Greek yogurt and fruit + a little honey if you want
Overnight oats are great because you make them the night before

I always sleep in, but I got a magic bullet a few months ago, and now I always just throw in a single yogurt with any type of frozen fruit blend, that and coffee and I'm a roll all morning, not to mention it keeps you fairly regular.

gmann1973

2 whole eggs, 4 egg whites, 4 slices turkey bacon, 1/2 cup steel cut oats, 1/4 cup blueberries, and glass of OJ

If you don't have time to prepare anything, one thing I like to do is get those liquid breakfasts: http://www.carnationbreakfastessentials.com/Products/Powder/Variety-Pack/Description.aspx

I started drinking these in the morning, because I usually don't have an appetite. Plus, they're a quick solution if you're in a rush. Just add skim milk and mix.

Otherwise, I do a good cereal with berries and milk. Lately I've been able to eat breakfast in the morning. Maybe I"m changing.

Just started a couple of weeks ago and now a daily ritual...Liberte Greek (Vanilla) Yogurt stirred with 1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean Crunch and a cup of coffee. (@ 205cal and great source of protein)

brittigno

I usually eat those Eggo frozen waffles with the fiber on the go. Dab on some syrup and I'm out the door

stefanieceleste0530

If I have time, Kashi Cinnamon Harvest cereal with some fruit in it. If I don't have time - toast with peanut butter and a piece of fruit or Chobani yogurt with almonds mixed in. Today, however, I was craving hash browns, so I went to Dunkin and had hashbrowns and iced coffee (still under 400 cals and I was actually not hungry again until lunch time!)

Debbe2

anything protein, and with in 30 mins of getting up

^^this^^ for me has been working. You can try protein shakes, cottage cheese with fruit, eggs, fish... Ok to think outside the box for your meals, breakfast included.

moochachip

Strawberry Special K cereal.

If you don't have time to make breakfast, then make hard boiled eggs en masse and grab those and a piece of fruit or cheese and fruit. If you can make it the night before than overnight oats are awesome. I generally make mine fresh every morning, but put this in a bowl, refrigerate and eat in the morning.

1/3 cup rolled oats
1/3 or 1/2 cup milk [depending on how thick you like it]
1/3 cup plain yogurt
1/2 banana
dash of cinnamon

In the morning top with anything you want such as some additional fruit, granola, etc... The possibilities are endless, but I always put a tablespoon of natural peanut butter. It really makes the oatmeal stick with you so that you don't have any cravings until lunch.

I am 100% addicted to oatmeal with either a chopped apple or banana and little sprinkle of cinnamon and brown sugar! Yummy and filling!

VanessaMFaulkner

2TBS fresh ground organic almond butter

Then...half a grapefruit, 4 strawberries (both organic), dash cinnamon, a few drops vanilla cream Stevia blended all together with ice to make a slushie...its yummy & what I generally start my day with!

NicoleIsUnderConstruction

I eat some oatmeal with blueberries mixed in and cinnamon sprinkled in..I'm ALWAYS in a rush so it works out because it's pretty easy

I've been living off this smoothie all week:

- 1 1/2 to 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1/4 cup frozen blueberries
- 4 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 3 sprigs worth of fresh mint leaves
- 1-2 cups of spinach
- Enough Odwalla Strawberry C Monster to get the blender going.

It ends up between 290 and 400 calories, depending on how much of the juice is used. I usually make them on the lighter side and have a piece of wheat toast as well.

I'm also a fan of egg muffins:
http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2006/10/egg-muffins-revisited-again.html

If you fill them with veggies instead of cheese they're pretty low cal, and very quick and easy. You can make them once a week or once every few days, put them in baggies, and then microwave as needed.

Usually Thomas Light Whole Grain English Muffin (100 calories w/lots of fiber) with 1 tablespoon of Polaner All Fruit w/fiber addded (approximately 30 calories) plus fiber, with one of the following: 1 tablespoon of Kettle Brand Almond Butter (90 calories) or 1 tablespoon of Original Cream Cheese (50 calories) or 2 pats of butter (72 calories), and a glass of skim milk (80 calories) or low sodium V8 (50 calories), and coffee or tea w/no sugar or cream. Takes about 3 to 5 minutes. Approximate calorie = 275 to 300.
I eat this about 5 days per week.

Greek Yogurt (120-200 calories depending on fat content and sweetener used) with a piece or serving of fruit (60-100 calories) = 180 to 300. I actually like the plain greek yogurt w/4 oz Dole tropical fruit cup w/2 teaspoons of honey. Very good and filing.

1 large fried egg (70 calories), 2 pats of butter (72 calories) on a Light English Muffin (100 calories) w/Low Sodium V8 (50 calories) plus coffee or tea without cream or sugar = around 300 calories.

Luna Nutrition Bar (around 170 calories) w/1 glass of skim milk (80 calories) = 250 calories. (One of my favorite snacks, has worked for breakfast in a pinch. Luna Bars are fantastic and made by Clif.

mgram2

2- Kashi 7 Grain Waffles (150 calories and tons of fiber) with Sugar-free IHOP syrup (15 cal for 1/4 cup).
YUMMMMMMMM.
If I'm still hungry I like eating some dry cereal with a few almonds as well or an apple!
