Whats YOUR ideal breakfast?

kdeaux1959

As a Southerner, I would say Grits, pepper bacon ( not much), sausage, eggs, biscuit and gravy... Lots of calories but lots of energy too... I like to load in early... HOWEVER, this is RARE... Reality sits in and my usual breakfast (at least now I have one) is a protein bar in the morning. It keeps me from getting hungry during the morning and can be eaten on the run. It works for me.

I love to mix it up. Sometimes I just have a banana and wait until mid morning snack to have an omlette with cheese and spinach.
I love grilled avocado on corn thins and a poached egg or two. I also love peanut butter and jam on corn thins with a banana, or toasted pita bread with grilled tomatoes, avocado and poached/scrambled eggs, and bacon if I can afford it. I wish I like porridge but I can't get past the texture. Oh and pancakes!!! With whatever is in the cupboard.

I change up between french toast with baked beans and banana and oatmeal with pb

- scrambled eggs w/cottage cheese and veggies!
- toasted bread with peanutbutter & jelly or slices of banana!
- Yoplait greek yogurt.
- Oatmeal w/ mixed berries.

My favorite is sweet potato oatmeal breakfast casserole. It is freakin delicious. But i'm lazy and wake up too late to make it, so i don't have it often.

So i usually have eggs, sunny side up or an omelette

Or greek yogurt with fruit

Ideal in terms of desire?

French Toast with Hot Chocolate and some Buttered Toast. Add in some Blueberry Pancakes and Bacon.

In terms of Nutrition?

I usually go with some Scrambled Eggs with Un-buttered Toast. On the side is a plate of oatmeal with some berries (black, blue, or rasp)

What's the problem with french toast? Bread with milk and egg.. don't see how that's unhealthy

LOVE this topic, as breakfast is my FAVORITE meal of the day!! I wake up literally excited for some nutritious filling grub i can't even imagine that there was a time when I did not eat breakfast EVER...

anywho, i have two faves:

1) blueberry lemonade smoothie
This is a pretty light breakfast as it ~185 cal for a 10 oz serving. I throw in two ice cube, 1/3 cup of lemonade, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup nonfat unsweetened GREEK yogurt, and 1/2 banana. then blend that sucker up! soooo delicious.

2) pumpkin spice oatmeal
This is a more filling breakfast at ~320 cal for ~12 oz serving. I add boiling water to 3/4 cups uncooked oatmeal. stir, then heat in the microwave for ~45 seconds. add 1 tsp of pumpkin spice coffee creamer (secret ingredient!) and 1 tsp brown sugar. stir. top with 1/2 sliced banana.

enjoyyyyyy

Nothing is wrong with it. I can eat A LOT of food so when I eat French Toast I eat around 6 slices minimum. That's MY problem with it.

Ideal? A box of Kelloggs Krave followed by a pint of B&J Half Baked, but I usually just have quick cooking steel cut oats with a bit of PB and Chocolate protein powder because I'm lame, trying to lose weight and have to go to work soon after.

-special k. red berries w. added berries.
-peanut butter & jelly sandwich on wheat bread + a banana if Im really hungry.
-2 scrambled eggs & toast + fruit.

-On a slight cheat day when still counting calories, I'll go all out
w. the cheesy eggs & sausages & pancakes.

-I almost always have 3-4 oz of OJ. then water for the day.

It depends on what you mean by ideal. If it's what I should eat and what makes me feel good, that's Fiber One cereal, 1% milk, a handful of fruit (cherries for as long as they're in season), and coffee. If it's what I want, that means a trip to Waffle House. Order over medium, scattered, peppered and topped and a peanut butter chocolate chip waffle and coffee. For those of you unfortunate enough to not be fluent in Waffle House, that means two eggs over medium, hashbrowns scattered on the griddle so they're crispy with cheese, jalapenos and chili. I only get that once a year. On New Year's Day. Whenever we manage to peel ourselves out of bed we head to WaHo. And stuff ourselves with carbs and fat and we tell each other that we can't do this anymore, we're too old and that next year we should keep it quiet and low key. By September we have forgotten the pain and misery and we start planning for next time.
