Chocolate overnight oatmeal

You will need:
1/2 cup oats
1/2 unsweetened almond milk
1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder
2 tbsp. unsweetened baking cocoa
1 tbsp. stevia
1/2 banana (sliced)
1 tbsp. unsweetened carob chips

Mix this all together( all but the banana and the chips) then put in the fridge the night before ( make sure you cover it) Then take it out when you wake put the banana sliced on top the the chips.....yummy tastes like a no bake cookie

Here's a quick breakfast that's really good!!!

Crack a couple eggs into a coffee mug. Mix well. Take a wedge of Laughing Cow light cheese and cut it up into small pieces and mix it in with the eggs.

Put in microwave for maybe 60 seconds. Take out and stir. If the eggs are still liquidy, put back in the microwave but not too long because you don't want them to overcook.

While they're cooking, rip up a few pieces of baby spinach. Add them to the cooked eggs the minute they come out of the microwave. Let spinach wilt.

Put the scrambled egg mixture on a whole wheat english muffin and you're good to go!!!

That sounds yummy and so easy! Never cooked eggs in the microwave before... thanks for the tip!!

Kashi go lean crunch cereal, dannon sugar free blueberry yogurt and 1/2 cup fresh bluberries

I usually have some granola with either skim milk or half a cup of plain lowfat Greek yogurt. If you can't stomach plain yogurt (it's definitely an acquired taste, particularly if you're used to flavored yogurts), lowfat vanilla Greek yogurt will also do nicely. I like the plain because I can use it in so many places. I get a big tub of it and use a little at a time - with cereal, mixed with jam or preserves to make my own flavored yogurts, on sliced cucumbers with dill, etc.

Hard-boiled eggs are a handy grab-and-go breakfast; boil them the night before, then leave them in the fridge overnight. They're easier to peel when cold, and highly portable. Also, just 70 calories apiece. If you're really pressed for time in the mornings, boil and peel them the night before, then put the peeled eggies in a plastic Ziplock bag in the fridge.

A glass of "nanogreens" and an apple with almond butter. YUM!

I make myself a tasty protein shake that I can drink in the car

1 cup of Almond milk
150gm of low fat vanilla yoghurt
25gm chocolate protein shake
10gm ground flaxseed

sometimes I'll add a little bit of vitarium sugar free drinking chocolate to make it even more chocolatey!

I may even throw in some banana yum!

Some mornings I'll have a bowl of low fat vanilla yoghurt with gluten free meusli and bran fibre toppers

I usually have egge whites - either scrambled (with some low-fat cheese) or I make an egg-white omelet. I pair that with some light multigrain toast and it's pretty satisfying.

May I ask why you eat your eggs without the yolks?:ohwell:

lilah808

Scrambled egg whites with some reduced fat cheese. I also like Better Oats raw/natural oatmeal with some fruit thrown in. The envelope is also the measuring cup so it can even be eaten at my desk.

Why would anyone have eggs without the yolks? The egg nutrition discussion is riddled with disinformation.

Egg yolks are the richest source of two superstar carotenoids—lutein and zeaxanthin. Not only are they bright yellow and cheerful looking, but yolks are loaded with fat-soluble antioxidant nutrients.

Besides providing all eight essential proteinbuilding amino acids, a large, whole, fresh egg offers about six to seven grams of protein and five grams of fat (with about 1.5 grams of it saturated), which comes in handy to help in the absorption of all the egg’s fat-soluble vitamins.

One egg contains the valuable vitamins A, K, E, D, B-complex and minerals iron, phosphorus, potassium and calcium.

Choline, another egg-nutrient, is a fatty substance found in every living cell and is a major component of our brain. Additionally, choline helps break up cholesterol deposits by preventing fat and cholesterol from sticking to the arteries.

Why doctors recommend eating no more than two to three eggs per week if you're trying to lower LDL “bad” cholesterol?

kristianamonroe

i usually have a shake made with 1 banana and 1 cup of almond milk because of the health benefits and its really filling 1 whole egg + 2 egg whites scrambled w/ 1 serving of any vegetable you have i usually go with spinach.

ClairBears84

i have frozen Quiche crustless in the freezer I make a batch and defrost one the night before, or like this morning 1 slice rye toast with orange marmalde on and 2 boiled eggs.

Egg Cup
Cut the top inch off a green bell pepper; remove ribs and seeds. Stuff with a small handful of baby spinach or arugula, 1 ounce reduced-sodium deli roast turkey or ham, and 2 tablespoons shredded reduced-fat cheese. Top with an egg and a pinch of black pepper. Pierce the yolk and replace the pepper top. Microwave for 4 to 5 minutes. Let sit, covered, for 3 minutes.

I love to eat a Boca buger on a flat bun with tomato, lettuce and mustard... less than 200 cal and tons of protein. Keeps me going for 4 to 5 hours. (you can also put on egg on top)

The yolk contains the vast majority of the cholesterol in a whole egg. The white contains the vast majority of the protein. If you feel the need for fats at breakfast, sub the yolk for a 1/4 of an avocado (cholesterol is an animal-derrived fat, plants don't contain any cholesterol). Studies also suggest a couple of other diet modifications for lowering LDL: consuming LOW FAT dairy products (dairy calcium improves fat excretion), and moving toward a plant-based diet.

i usually have granola with low fat yogurt and fruit (usually dried apricots or banana). I even have it on the go when I';m in a rush. I put it in a Tupperware box with a plastic spoon and then eat it on the train to work.

At weekends I have poached egg on toast , or omelet with mushrooms, both of which are really filling.

I also keep a few yogurts at work with some trail mix and dried fruit in case I'm tempted to skip breakfast at home. It stops me going to the cafe for a bacon butty and is really tasty.

I also love hard boiled eggs which you can do the night before then put in a tortilla wrap with some ham and some salsa - really yummy and easy to eat on the go, or wrap up for later.
