    I eat the following together for ~300 cals with ~30g protein: 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 scoop protein powder, 1/2 cup cereal. Sounds gross but tastes DELICIOUS

    Mine is fairly basic, greek yogurt and coffee. But I'm also not hungry in the am. :smile:

    This is my daughters favorite breakfast that I make, it's really good and really filling

    Dee's "Home Aid" Oatmeal

    bring 3 cups water to a rolling boil with 1 tsp margerine.
    Stir in 1 cup steel cut oats
    1/4 cup quinoia
    3/4 cup rolled oats

    remove from heat and let sit 45min

    When you remove the lid it should be super thick (look almost like bird feeder block)

    stir in 2 "yucky" bananas mashed and 3 tbsp. peanut butter

    should make at least 8 servings and can be put into small containers and frozen for quick microwave breakfast later.

    Before eating top hot oatmeal with a sprinkle of nuts and a dollop of yogurt and mix.

    each serving contains:
    201 calories
    22 grams carbohydrates
    6 grams of protein
    5 grams of fat
    51 sodium
    5 grams of sugar

    Super tasty - and I hate oatmeal!

    I find it's a great start to my day, and just as satisfying as my pancakes or french toast in days of old

    ... But Morning star makes some pretty good "sausage" patties that are not too bad for you. My picky husband also likes those. A great substitute for real meat :) ...

    I love their breakfast patties. Have been eating them for many years. Morningstar Farm Grillers, Chik Patties, and some of their other foods are good, too!

    I don't like sweet food first thing in the AM, so for me it'll be oatmeal with a teaspoon of vegan margerine and salt. I also eat a lot of eggs with cheese (I don't drink cow's milk) and you can saute spinach with it. If you really want bacon,eat it. You can also try turkey sausage and bacon (both I highly recommend because they taste good).

    If you want a low cal breakfast & something that will keep you full for a LONG time...

    Egg whites (I buy the carton), steel cut oats - sweeten with sugar free jelly or local honey. If I am in a rush, I will grab a Greek yogurt or protein shake (powder & water). *If you get tired of the egg whites, add some veggies to it. :-)

    I eat between 250-350 calories for breakfast.

    Usually I have 2 eggs scrambled with 1/2 an adelles chicken sausage (pineapple bacon is my favorite)
    or
    3 pieces of turkey bacon and dry whole grain toast
    or
    omelet with chicken sausage or bacon
    or
    smoothie made with fresh fruit, almond milk, almonds and oatmeal.

    Hope this helps!

    My favorites are:

    -Breakfast sandwich made of a whole grain English muffin toasted with a poached egg (I have a breakfast sandwich maker that does this), a slice of 2% cheese, and a couple pieces of low-sodium deli ham or turkey.
    -Steel cut oats (make a 4-day batch at once, then divide) with raw organic mulberries, cinnamon, a little bit of raw cacao nibs, and a little Stevia or Xylitol. I like to take a 1/4 cup frozen blueberries in a coffee mug and microwave for 30-60 seconds. It makes this warm, syrupy goodness to put in the oats. It tastes so indulgent, but doesn't cost me too many calories.
    -Two Eggo waffles (I like the protein ones) with either a tablespoon of natural peanut butter for on-the-go, or two tablespoons of lite syrup and a couple strawberries for something really indulgent at home.

    I eat whatever is available, really.

    Some days I grab two eggs to scramble up at work. Some days I grab the leftovers from dinner. Really just depends what is looking at me when I open the fridge door lol

    Most days it's just cereal and skimmed milk for me! Weekends may include toast or croissants, but I really am not a big eater in the mornings.

    I've been trying to be healthier so now it's a 3 or 4 egg white omelet with one piece of cheese, or protein shake with yogurt and berries, or on the fly now a Quest bar is great, plus it's really high in fiber too.

    I have the following every weekday for breakfast...and its great bc you can make it the night before:

    1/2 c rolled oats (just plain, no sugar added)
    1 c unsweetened almond milk
    1 TBSP each of ground flaxseed, chia seeds, unsweetened cocoa powder, and sliced almonds
    1 cut up and slightly mashed banana
    a few drops of organic stevia sweetener

    i call it my "chocolate covered banana cereal", haha.

    It's DELISH and really holds me until lunch. It makes me feel much more satisfied than the nonfat greek yogurt I was eating previously for breakfast. hope that helps!

    My usual breakfast includes breakfast burritos, bacon egg cheese croissants (Gosh I miss those) or French Toast with 4 pieces of bacon. Now that I am working out like a dog, I be d@mned if I do all that moving around and sweating in vain. What's better out of oatmeal with raisins, pecans, butter and sugar vs. omlett with cheese spinach and meat? Or what can I eat that's low in calories for breakfast?

    If you're going to have oats for breakfast, go ahead and add fruit and nuts to it - that's great, but don't add butter and sugar to it! Butter and sugar are extra "empty" calories that will not promote fat loss or health in general.

    My favourite breakfast is greek/natural yogurt with fruit, nuts, and flax seeds; or oats with fruit and nuts; or poached eggs on whole grain toast. I'm not a big fan of scrambled eggs, so I always have poached instead.

    Just figure out what fits your macros and what works well for you. For me, about 300 calories works well for me. Fruit/veggies don't satisfy me in the AM.

    My rotation at work is:
    Paleo pancakes with a hard boiled egg and 2 slices bacon (I'm not paleo but they're just almond butter, eggs, cinnamon and bananas)
    Steel cut oats made with water, then mixed with brown sugar and raisins
    English muffin with almond butter & honey
    English muffin with jam and a hard boiled egg
    Egg cups and bacon (I blend eggs with salt, pepper and spinach, mix with carmelized mushrooms and/or onions, bake in muffin tins)

    At home or on weekends it's usually:
    Rosemary garlic bread with an egg, slice of cheese, bacon and side of fruit
    Cereal (I like Raisin Bran, Life, Kashi Go Lean Crunch, shredded wheat) with almond milk
    Homemade waffles with maple syrup

    When I worked out first thing in the AM, I had a half an english muffin with almond butter and honey plus 4oz of orange juice before. Then I had the other half an english muffin with almond butter & honey, plus a protein shake, a glass of water and a banana after.

    This is fairly typical for me on a weekend...

    20130406_082322.jpg

    During the week though, I usually stick to my omelette or scrambled eggs with my oats and strawberries. Just because you're at a calorie deficit doesn't mean your food has to suck.

    I urge everyone to yes, listen to their bootys.

    We live in a strange, strange world where eating cake for breakfast (muffins) seems perfectly acceptable but say you are eating steak and eggs, or left over curry and they look at you like you have two heads...

    One of my favorite breakfasts is a homemade "egg McMuffin," for roughly 300 calories. I use a Thomas' Triple Health English Muffin, toasted, 1 egg, 1 oz of deli ham and 1 slice of Sargento's Ultra Thin Provolone cheese. It keeps me going for about 3-4 hours.

    My other 'go to' breakfast is mix together 1/2 c lowfat plain yogurt, 1/4 non fat cottage cheese, 1 packet stevia (I use Truvia), 1/4 t vanilla, 1/2 banana, diced, 1/2 c blueberries or diced strawberries, 1 T chopped walnuts or pecans. If you're going to eat it right away go ahead and add 1/4 Uncle Sam cereal. If you're going to eat it a little later, keep the cereal in a separate container and add at the last minute so it doesn't get soggy. This is closer to 350 calories, I believe.

    If you're going to do the omelette, use egg whites only or go very sparingly on the cheese. When I make omelettes I use 3-4 egg whites and only one yolk and then only use about 2 T of shredded low fat cheese. Your oatmeal is fine but I would eliminate the butter and sugar. I like to add Truvia and cinnamon to mine. Kashi 7-grain waffles with fruit and yogurt are also a good choice for breakfast.

    this is what i eat for breakfast:

    1/2 fresh grapefruit
    3 hard boil eggs ( eat only ONE yolk))
    I slice of a whole wheat or rye toast, or ((1) english muffin light (100 calories)
    serving of hummus (put on the toast or english muffin, better for you then jam and butter)
    coffee with cream and truvia sugar

    It will be a little over 300 calories

    You want to aim for about 300 calories for breakfast as it is the most
    important meal of the day

    hope this helps

    I use to hate breakfast time, because I could never find anything that sounded good/tasted good. I like pancakes and what not but I have to be in a certain mood for them and that time only comes maybe 2 or 3 times a year. But just recently I've started making my own egg burritos, oatmeal with brown sugar and peanut butter, yogurt with granola and almonds and that's just a few of them!!!
