    Quackers! haha. I'm not trying to point out a spelling mistake, I just can't stop picturing a duck eating oatmeal and it makes me oddly happy.

    I eat a banana almost every morning. If I have time I will scramble some eggs and put some salsa on them, if not I do a protein shake. My fave is chocolate with a scoop of instant coffee!

    I like hard boiled eggs for breakfast. I buy them prepeeled, and I can just grab and go.

    I have the same breakfast every day (not sure if that's a bad thing but I love knowing what I'm having).

    I have 100% oats, with berries (like blueberries/raspberries) and seeds (like sunflower/pumpkin/linseed). I also might occasionally add around 30g of peanut butter, which is gorgeous but really high in calories so I don't have that all the time.

    I have always loved yogurt and when I discovered greek yogurt and its health factors I was hooked. I now can't live without it. I always have greek yogurt with granola and some sort of fruit and it keeps me full for what seems like forever. I noticed this when just last week I had 100% whole grain oatmeal for breakfast and felt hungry within 2 hours. I wasn't starting my day off with enough calories or protien. SOoooOOooOOooo...now I'm curious as to what are all of YOUR go to breakfast meals?

    The very same! I have plain greek yogurt with liquid stevia, cinnamon and fresh berries every morning : )

    I just posted on my page about my new fav Greek yogurt breakfast. Since most fruits I like are out of season, I've been mixing 1 tbsp dried cranberries, 1 tbsp walnuts, chia seeds, cinnamon, allspice, Splenda, and 1/2 c Kashi Go Lean cereal into 1/2 c plain yogurt. It's really good.

    My favorite hot and easy breakfast is egg muffins. Just beat a bunch of eggs (8-12) with diced meat (ham, bacon, sausage, etc), vegetables (spinach, broccoli, peppers, etc) and cheese (parmesan, mozzarella, etc) and bake in muffin tins. I spray the tins with oil first and bake at 350 for about 30 mins. I like mine a light golden brown on top. Once they cool, I throw them in the freezer. I usually make a batch on Sunday nights for the week. Then the night before work, I put 2 in a microwave dish in the refrigerator. When I get to work, I microwave them for about 30-45 secs. Instant scrambled eggs that are high protein and low carb.

    on an average day, I pretty much just have fruit - a banana and a few figs or grapes

    if I want something more substantial, I'm a fan of gluten free honey rice puffins and almond milk

    if I know it's going to be a while before I eat lunch, I'll add some protein in there - a bar, a hardboiled egg, some Greek yogurt, etc.

    if it's before a race, steel cut oats with honey, peanut butter, and banana

    I make a protein smoothie the night before a lot that includes:

    1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk
    1/2 cup filtered water
    2 scoops of protein powder (currently hemp powder which has no sweetener & 5 grams of fiber)
    2 cups of greens or spinach
    1 1/2 cups of berries (blueberry, strawberry or blackberries) or I may add peaches or mango for a twist
    2 tsp of raw natural almond butter

    My breakfast is one of three things depending on two factors:

    1. Was today a lifting day or a cardio day?

    2. Do I have time to prepare a proper meal or do I have to grab something and go?

    If it was a lifting day AND I'm in a hurry, my breakfast consists of a peanut butter banana protein smoothie. 2 tbsp peanut butter, a serving of vanilla protein shake mix, 1 whole banana, 1 cup almond/coconut milk, and 5 ice cubes in a blender.

    If it was a cardio day AND I'm in a hurry, my breakfast consists of a bowl of cereal (usually either Post Great Grains, Kashi GoLean Crunch, or Quaker Oats Squares) with nonfat milk and a banana.

    On weekends I usually sleep in enough to where I consolidate my breakfast and mid-morning snack/meal into a single meal, so higher calories are in order. I make a breakfast sandwich using some form of reduced fat cheese (cheddar or american), egg and egg white scramble, bacon, on a whole grain bagel. If I happen to lift that day I make sure to add an extra strip of bacon, a second slice of cheese, and another egg white (rather than just 1 egg and 1 egg white) to help meet my increased calorie goals for the day as I burn less calories on cardio or rest days.

    Mine is an egg sandwich. I'm scared of greek yogurt. I can't get myself to try it.


    Ive tried greek yogurt and didnt like it. Consistency and tasted alot like flavored sour cream.


    My go to breakfast is usually a granola bar with 4oz of chocolate soy milk or a Special K protein shake. I'm not a morning person so eating breakfast before i leave for work is out of the question. So i eat when i get to work but it has to be something quick, small and cold as I am the customer support tech and receptionist for my office.

    Usually I have a smoothie. This morning's was strawberry, blueberry, banana, flaxmeal, unsweetened coconut, cocoa powder, raw walnuts, pulpy orange juice, and almond milk.

    When I have to get out the door extra early I make overnight oats with banana and blueberries with a little pom juice and unsalted sunflower seeds and raw walnuts.

    On weekends I make a spinach tofu scramble...yum :)

    Protein protein protein - that is the key for me. I do best with eggs on a whole grain/high fiber english muffin. I scramble the eggs in a small bowl and microwave while the muffin toasts. Add some bacon or ham or cheese (or of course veggies). I can even eat it in the car.

    You can even bake egg muffins - just scramble it up how you like and pour into mini muffin tins then reheat - like a mini quiche without the crust!

    I have also enjoyed a protein smoothie - skim milk, protein powder, frozen banana, real cocoa powder, and sweetner of choice. Delicious!

    coffee with half and half

    After that I probably have oatmeal most often. But I'm likely to have anything, really. Leftovers from dinner. Etc.

    I really can't imagine breakfast as the biggest meal of the day, no matter who says it should be. It's just not. Period.

    Since I'm usually out the door in a scramble every morning...

    2x Cups of Skim milk
    1x Serving of Carnation Breakfast Essentials
    1x Fiber One bar "Oats & Chocolate"

    420 Cal boost in the morning and 23 grams of protien. Gets my day started, and I get hungry at the right times. Granted, I also drink at least half my water intake in the morning as well.
