or pancakes and eggs with 1 apple.

Those all look tasty...but don't they give you too much sugar? I'm having the HARDEST time keeping my sugar down, and I don't even eat a ton...mostly fruits and such.

I'm with you - have to avoid sugar almost completely, so I have the same breakfast every morning - a small tin of baked beans with 40gm of salami mixed through and zapped in the microwave. Yummy and filling.

Steel cut oats, with a scoop of whey protein sometimes.

With a small amount of natural sweetener e.g. Honey, dates or half a mashed banana. Powdered ginger or cinnamon is also delicious.

If its a big workout day then I will add flaked almonds or other nuts or fruit as topping.

Best breakfast ever!

A greek yogurt before I leave to work and Belvita Start biscuits when I get to work.
It's great on the calorie, I like it... and it satisfies my needs. Mostly around summer I can't have a big breakfast at home (I don't have a problem with eating it) because it's very hot and a big breakfast in the rush hour, in a heated crowded subway train... well... it will get me nauseous. So I eat an yogurt at home and endure the hunger until I get to work.

I always eat an Atkins Peanut Butter Granola bar. Only 3 net carbs and super easy.... Keeps me full for about 5 hours!

I switch and I either eat my oatmeal with Berries.
Or I love my special K cereal with Berries and I put more raw strawberries on it with my Almond Milk

200g low fat cottage cheese = 150cal - Mon-Fri. and I'll have an apple at 11am.

weekends
2 eggs with 6 kalamata olives/or ham/onions/peppers.....
or
40g oats, 10 pecan nuts, skimmed milk, 1tbs maple syrup, cinnamon
or
vanilla protein shake, 1/2 banana, 1 tbs peanut butter

The days that i work i make a protein smoothie. 1 Scoop of protein powder, 1 banana and 1/2c. fat free milk with as much ice as you like. The more ice, the thicker the shake (delicious).
On the weekends or my one day a week off I usually like to have a veggie, usually asparagus or spinach mixed in one or two eggs, depending on how hungry I am, with some type of venison meat (today was 1oz. of venison loin). My husband and I also make venison breakfast sausage. Venison, eggs and asparagus are all high in protein. Keeps you full for a long time.

I do steel cut oats... I boil them for one minute the night before, then just let them sit on the stove overnight (soaking) and cook for another 7 minutes or so in the morning.
I then add:
-a dash of rice milk
-a bit of cocoa nibs
-some blueberries
-15g honey

i also have a egg on toast.

and then a cup of coffee and a shot glass of OJ.

healthy, filling breakfast well within my cal count.

1 Thomas Light "Triple Health" English muffin, toasted
.46 Gm Eggs beaters (Microwaved)
1 Morning Star Spicy Sausage patty.
Sometimes cheese and sometimes not
I have also used ham or turkey in place of the Morning star patty


I wrap it up and take it to work, heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds and you have a great breakfast that sticks with you for about 200 calories!

I have three standard breakfast that I like, depending on how much time I have in the morning.
1. 4 white omelet with veggies and 2 oz of cheddar cheese 2%
2. protein shake
3. Apple cheddar melt (whole-wheat English muffin, toasted, 2 teaspoons creamy peanut butter, 4 thin apple slices, 1 slices reduced-fat Cheddar cheese)

On Sundays if I feel like it will make : oatmeal cottage cheese pancakes, freeze them.... Easy for when you're running late.

During the week, I have 2-3 eggs scrambled with two rashers of bacon, two tomatoes, a pepper, a chilli, a teaspoon of coconut oil and some hot sauce. Possibly strange but filling and tasty.

emilymaya16

I'm a big advocate of eggs! Especially because they're really versatile and you can't get bored! Heres what I have:
Tomato and onion omlette
Mushroom omlette
Boiled eggs and wholemeal toast to dip
poached egg on a crumpet
scrambled eggs with ham and tomatos
scarmbled eggs with low fat bacon

I also had a phase of cottage cheese but sometimes the taste is a bit strong for an early start but I'll put it down anyway!
Cottage cheese, ham and tomato (sometimes I had wholemeal toast with this)
cottage cheese, grilled mushrooms and tomato

and then also:
grilled mushrooms, grilled tomatos and ham/bacon
grilled mushrooms on wholemeal toast

Hope they help!

My new favourite breakfast because its fresh, colourful and healthy. I rotate between variations of this and a fruit salad so I don't eat the same things everyday.
1 slice of quality whole-wheat bread
1 egg, sunny side up
Sauté: 3 sliced up mushrooms, chopped up red onion, clove of garlic, and toss in chopped up baby spinach and a bit of sun dried tomato pesto. Once the spinach has cooked a bit top, the toast with a couple tomato slices, the egg and then the veggie mix.
Sounds like a lot but it only takes a few minutes for everything to cook. If I'm looking to make it more substantial then I'll add some avocado or cook 2 eggs.

Fruit (any kind) and one egg omlet w/ about 14g low fat mexican 4-cheese blend

I love oatmeal as well, but sometimes I like to eat semolina porridge or rice pudding (in Germany this is just either special rice for rice pudding or sushi rice boiled in milk, no eggs, no butter, a teaspoon sugar is enough) and fruit, of course

Ohnoes

my usual breakfasts:

oatmeal with fruit and walnuts
plain yogurt with fruit and walnuts
cottage cheese with melon
sprouted grain toast with fried eggs

This site doesn't make the distinction, but natural sugars from fruits and veggies isn't the same as processed sugar added to something. I have a whole raw mango (peeled, seeded) for lunch most days and it KILLS my sugar totals but you can't get much better than raw fresh fruit. It's way different than if I had syrup-added canned fruit, even if te calories worked out the same.
Don't get hung up on the sugar naturally present in fresh fruit.

On days I work 12 hour shifts (7a-7p) I have a bowl of Special K Protein Plus Cereal with 1 TBSP of Milled Flax, 1/2 banana, and 1/2 C. Skim Milk.... If I am at home I usually have 1 egg or 2 egg whites and a piece of toast with fruit or Oatmeal with blueberries and flax and sometimes a banana half.

Achrya

Oatmeal with bacon mixed inside.

Plain Greek yogurt+ a serving of protein powder, maybe a little milk to thin it out. Just did this with cookies and cream powder and I am stuffed. Had 42g of protein, 200 some odd calories, and best of all was really yummy.

nessagrace22

I have the same most days. Oatmeal made with unsweetened almond milk and a mashed banana (mashing the banana actually tastes better than slicing). Sometimes I top with sliced almonds. All washed down with a mug of hot water and fresh lemon. Keeps me going all morning.
