I eat yogurt and fruit for breakfast, but its killing my daily sugar intake before I even get to lunch. Besides eggs, what breakfast foods/drinks do you have?? Looking for ideas!

    Odwella Protein drinks --- 240 Calories seem to jumpstart and sustain me till lunch. Sometime a small piece of fruit in between.

    I'll juice up some vegetables, or take a protein shake, or just eat nothing.

    In general, if I eat prior to 1pm or so it doesn't sit well with me, unless I've been drinking. I'll do it sometimes socially though, like to take my wife to brunch.

    It varies:

    - Banana and flax oatmeal, (or any other type of flax oatmeal - I've been eating a gluten free one lately) 1/4C blueberries, coffee with creamer...I'll never give up the creamer! lol

    - Toasted flax seed bagel with 1tbsp peanut butter, 1/2 banana, 1/4C blueberries, coffee

    If I'm out of all that fun stuff, I'll toast a frozen multigrain waffle and have it with 1tbsp peanut butter, 1 tsp honey, some type of fruit and coffee.

    It varies-- sometimes I do dry cereal and nuts, sometimes yogurt and fruit, and lately I've been getting into beef jerky again. Anything with significant protein, because my job is physical involving walking and lifting.

    If your sugar is only coming from things like yogurt and fruit throughout the day, I wouldn't worry about going over. Try swapping in Greek for regular though, it generally has a bit less sugar and fat (unless you are already eating fat-free) and packs in more protein.

    How about a slice of whole grain bread with a small banana or maybe low sugar fruit oatmeal. The oatmeal might hold you over until lunch a little better than the banana sandwich..
    english muffin with turkey bacon/sausage. Just some ideas.. :}

    I usually just do a banana or a frigo light cheese stick so my breakfast is usually jusst 50-110 calories, but I eat at 630am, then I'll eat a snack around 10am and lunch at noon or 1pm. I also have the carnation instant breakfast thats in a can no sugar added one that is 150 calories, and I love those!

    I wouldn't worry too much about sugar if it's from fruit - that's the good kind!
    I usually eat a fruit OR yogurt and 2 eggs.

    Usually a granola bar and a couple of large glasses of water. That's about all I can handle at 4 am and it does typically hold me over until lunch time. Sometimes I will do a slice of toast and/or an egg. More on the weekends if DH decides to cook--but that is usually more of a combined breakfast/lunch.

    I make a smoothie - Whey protein, blueberries, 1/2 banana, plain yogurt, ice and water or small amount of juice.
    I find I need a lot of protein to loose weight. So this helps.
    Other days I have steel cut oatmeal with honey. Sometimes I add TVP for the extra protein.
    Greek Omlet is my favorite with my husband. 3 eggs, spinach and feta cheese.
