Well it was filling for me but I doubt healthy... Sugar free Rockstar and Ding Dongs. It's Saturday, it's been a hell week and at least I did my 4 mile walk with the stop at 7-11 this morning!0

Eat what appeals to you. I'm a savoury person so for a change from the usual fruit/yogurt or oatmeal or other cereals I make pearl barley (which I LOVE!) and add a bunch of cooked veggies (onion, peppers, mushrooms, frozen peas). Add some salt/pepper/garlic powder/ cayenne and all you need to do is microwave a bowl for breakfast. I make a batch of it and eat it all week or you can freeze it in Ziploc baggies if you don't want to eat it everyday. The barley is high in fibre and the whole thing is low fat.
I do the same with quinoa - cook up a big batch and add veggies to it or if you want something sweet, add dried cranberries, slivered almonds, a drizzle of honey. With a glass of OJ it'll keep you full. Great for vegetarians too.0 -

Banana pancakes!
2 eggs + 1 banana + cinnamon
Beat the crap out of the two eggs,
In a seperate bowl mush the banana up
Add the cinnamon to the banana
Lob in the eggs and give it a good mix
Then pop on the pan (sprayed with a little lo cal oil) and pour the mix on but in small portions about the size of the palm of your hand but no bigger as they will be difficult to flip
You can make about 6 or more little pancakes depending on your sizing and they are really filling. I have mine with some fruit on the side and a little bit of maple syrup0 -
I take half an avocado, fill the hole where the pit was with salsa, cover it with some cooked egg white, put some shredded cheese on top, and broil it until it melts. Super yummy.
Or for something sweet, a rice cake with peanut butter, topped with raisins or something like chocolate covered goji berries, maybe some shredded coconut.
Also, I love grilling up some polenta. It goes with literally everything - omelets, fruit, bacon, sausage. I made a southwest egg white omelet yesterday with bell peppers and some cheese, topped that with salsa, and covered the polenta slices with some black eyed peas and hot sauce. So good.
In the morning i like spinach feta egg wraps, peanut butter toast and fruit.
I really feel like my breakfast is better if i eat more protein. When i eat something low protein i'm hungry a couple hours later. Cereal is pretty much a no go for me for breakfast because im too hungry too quick after it. I could eat 10 bowls of cereal and be only semi full lol ,although i love it.0 -

I like to go for a 20mile bike ride on my way into work (I commute by bicycle), so I tend to go for something high calorie.
Milkshake and a Sausage Sandwich usually fills me up
Don't know how many would consider that "healthly", but I don't really care, I need the boost as I won't have had anything to eat since dinner the night before :grumble:

I like scrambled eggs or eggs over medium, sprinkled with chia seeds, followed by a big bunch of water. If there's time, I like to sautee up some mushrooms and zucchini in a little bit of coconut oil and turmeric (turmeric suppresses obesinogenic gut-bacteria and is tasty and pretty - can't lose). I raise my own eggs & they're ultra tasty, so I'm not sure if I'd be as satisfied with this if I went with store-bought. sometimes, I'll sprinkle with a little bit of parm.
Or, breakfast smoothies - I do homemade yogurt made from raw milk, so it's full-fat (but grass-fed so lots of CLAs), so about a half-cup of that, half a banana, half a scoop of vanilla protein powder and a half-cup of wild blueberries. Blueberries are high in phenolic compounds so promote healthy gut bacteria while suppressing harmful bacteria. When I do it, I make wholes of everything and split the result with my son who loves it too... I don't keep half-bananas around. Oh, and a tbsp of flaxseedmeal. Super yum. And surprisingly filling!
I target about 250cal for breakfast.0 -
I have a 2 egg omelette with red, green, yellow peppers and it fills me up. Screw egg whites, eat the whole egg!0
