    I have a very difficult time with breakfast being so early~ so when I get to work at around 8:30 I always have a 100 calorie bagel with Laughing Cow Cream Cheese (Strawberry)! I make myself eat this just to jumpstart the metabolism for the day.

    Then...right about now- 10ish I have some grapes and pretzels.

    I eat about every two hours during the day- and so far it is working :)

    I was never a breakfast eater, but tried it out when I started this journey towards a healthier life. I credit my progress to breakfast! I'm amazed at what a difference it has made in my energy throughout the morning. My productivity at work has improved too (although I'm writing this when I should be coordinating a training haha!)

    Try stirring in a packet of no sugar added Carnation Instant Breakfast to your coffee. Yummy, low cal mocha and it boosts your nutrients and gets your metabolism going.

    A half cup of nonfat Greek yogurt (I add some stevia to help with the tartness) with fresh fruit and granola keeps me satisfied for a long time.

    Overnight oatmeal is great too! Fix up your old fashion oats the night before, stick it in the fridge, in the morning they are ready! This morning I had half cup of oats, half cup of unsweetened almond milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and half a scoop of vanilla whey protein. I topped it off with blueberries

    Happy Breakfast Eating!

    I had oatmeal this morning. Love that stuff! I eat mine with warm milk or half & half. I have since I was a kid. Can't do water...just doesn't taste the same!

    I had 2 waffles and 2 scrambled eggs. I always try to pair protein in whenever I eat carbs.

    This morning I had a Thomas bagel Thin (110 calories) with laughing cow garlic and herb cheese wedge (35 cal) and 3 slices of Oscar Mayer Oven Fresh Ham (23 calories). Then I had 2 Jimmy Deans turkey sausage links on the side (78 calories). I'm working on upping my protein. So I had a total of 246 calories for breakfast.

    I also had a greek yogurt after my run, but I don't count that in my breakfast. That's my "6:30 I ran for 30 minutes and this is my reward for not dying" treat.

    Porridge with banana, toasted sunflower seeds and brown sugar. So yum! Glad I had it, was feeling a bit too blah to get around to cooking a proper dinner and mostly just grazed for the rest of the day.

    640mg sodium (the Egg Protein from GNC is about 490mg. Won't buy it again because of this (and the consistency is a little weird compared to the BSN Syntha-6 or even the Dymatize stuff). Should have read the label :explode: :mad: :angry: )

    Almond milk and blueberries.

    i'm usually not too good at breakfast , i mean eating in the morning *groans*
    i've had to try more recently as i have to eat with my new morning meds. You have to think of something you'll enjoy to convince yourself .
    Bananas are great if you need to run to work or whatever. Just try to see it as COMPULSORY! Luck.
