    For the longest time i never really ate a breakfast, one of my problems, however since working out it is either a dry bowl of Cheerios, Cliff Energy bar or a Whey shake with 2% milk. Finding the Cliff bars are doing a good job and sit well with me when i work out in the mornings.

    I rotate between 4 breakfasts:
    - fruit and greek yogurt & tea or a skinny vanilla latte
    - oatmeal added to the above
    - 2 egg cheese omelet
    - banana/strawberry/mango/yogurt smoothie

    1/4 cup of egg substitute, half slice of pepper bacon and a slice of smart carb toast with no sugar added apple butter.

    This breakfast meal has 180 calories, 16 carbs (4 net carbs), 4 grams fat, 21 grams protein, 12 grams fiber and 295 mg sodium.

    I drink a glass of water before I start cooking and have a cup of coffee with the meal. Sometimes I'll add low fat cottage cheese or a piece of fruit but those, of course, change the nutritional content of the meal. This is one of my fav's though!

    4% cottage cheese but I wait until after 11am to eat because I workout on an empty stomach to help burn more carbs.

    Egg white omelet with tomatoes, mushrooms, and salsa. Sometimes I live on the wild side and get a quesadilla.

    I know yogurt is a little high in carbs but I love having the Dannon Light &Fit yogurt with sliced strawberries if I wake up with a sweet tooth or egg whites and toast. Oatmeal is always good if you wanna keep full for a while :)

    I either have
    a) Poached eggs and a slice of wholemeal toast
    b) porridge (oatmeal?)
    c) scrambled eggs, baked beans (no toast)
    d) fruit and low fat natural yoghurt

    I exercise a lot and want to keep my protein high.

    Hard-boiled eggs with bacon (which is good for you by the way) for starters. Then I eat either a bowl of Honey bunches cereal with a banana, or turkey/tuna slices tossed in a ranchless salad.

    From what I understand you rev up your metabolism by doing two things in the morning, exercise and eating. You cannot start your engine so to speak without food. Research it, I think it was oprahs trainer that I heard that from.

    I am starting to rotate my meal routine so I don't get bored.

    Some mornings it'll be scrambled eggs and some bacon (no toast). Other days I use a protein shake (mixed with water) or Special K cereal.

    If it's morning eggs and bacon, that's my "big calorie" meal for the day and I will follow up with lighter lunches and dinners.

    If I make my dinner my "big calorie" meal (which would be fish or chicken with a fresh vegetable), I will go with a light breakfast and lunch.

    Throughout the day to maintain caloric intake I use snacks like fruit, Quaker Granola Bars (they're only 100 calories a bar which is great when I want something sweet) or a couple Polly-O 2% Skim milk string cheese.

    It's actually not so random....It's based on getting as many nutrient dense foods with as much variety as I can.

    I am tired of eggs too. If you are trying to watch carbs thier is not much to eat. I have the same problem. I wont eat cereal or toast and not much is left. I wont eat yogurt either because, has to much sugar. You can check on pintrest sometimes they have some good ideas. I have not seen one with out eggs. lol If you find something let me know so, I can make it myself

    I have a green smoothie each morning.

    I include vanilla almond milk, protein powder, matcha green tea powder, raw baby spinach, 1/2 of a med banana and nonfat greek yogurt and a few ice cubes. I blend it for 5 mins until it is frothy.


    How many calories? That actually sounds really good

    It's 265 calories -- most of those coming from the protein powder itself.

    I usually eat 1/2 cup of beaters (usually the flavored kind), with a Tbsp of salsa on a toasted whole wheat sandwich thin or English muffin. With this sandwich, I usually eat a piece of fruit.

    Or Veggie 'sausage' patties

    Or Steel Cut Oats (with flax and chia seeds )

    Half cup of organic cottage cheese, about 6-8 large strawberries sliced, 1 tbsp of sliced raw almonds, and a half tbsp of honey or light agave.... To me it's a cheesecake fix without the guilt!!
