    I mix 0% greek yogurt with a tablespoon of peanut butter and 1/2 to 1 packet of stevia in the raw. It's delicious, filling, and quick. You can even make it ahead of time, and just grab it out of the fridge.

    I'm also a big fan of smoothies, and eggs in the AM.

    Never once did adding PB to yogurt cross my mind, but it sounds great. I'm trying that asap. Thx! :wink:

    I usually have two cups of tea first, then an hour or so later I have breakfast. Today I made a smoothie of kiwi, raspberries, blueberries, banana, whey powder and water. I then had a slice of sourdough bread with 1 tbsp of butter.

    I usually just eat 2 egg whites with a little bit of cheese. Sometimes I will also have an apple with peanut butter. It's better to start your day out with protein because it sustains you for longer. You are less likely to feel hungry a couple hours later. I made the switch from cereal and I have noticed that I have less cravings throughout the day.

    Proper toast - 100% rye sourdough, white sourdough or an artisan wholegrain topped with a poached egg, or tahini, or smoked salmon. Or oatmeal with skimmed milk & muscovado sudar; or a smoothie made with frozen berries, cherry juice and fat-free yoghurt.
    If eating bread - I only eat good quality, organic breads for a lower GI and better nutrition.

    2 eggs scrambled with some grape tomatoes and spinach.

    When I know I'm going to be really busy, I make egg muffins on Sunday night and eat 2 of those for breakfast throughout the week (put whatever fillings you want in the bottom of the tin, then pour in eggs until it's 3/4 full or so, then bake). Keep them in plastic baggies or other containers and then reheat for 30 seconds or so when you're ready to eat them.

    For those who say they don't eat breakfast at all, that is one of the worst things you can do. Breakfast gets your metabolism going for the day. I personally have a greek yogurt (chobani) and then bring a banana or some other fruit to work to have as a morning snack. Also if you workout in the mornings (like I do) I have a protein shake right after my workout.

    3 eggs, 2 turkey bacon slices
    sometimes I add 2 whole grain waffles, sliced strawberries with lite cool whip on top.
    (Sometimes I'll swap out the eggs and bacon with plain oatmeal with cinnamon, bananas or almonds)

    It depends.

    Workout days I make a fruit smoothie with protein.

    Non-workout days I'll make 2 scrambled eggs, 3 TB of liquid egg whites, 1 oz ham, 1/2 oz cheese and I'll either just eat that or put it on a flat bread for a breakfast sandwich.

    Egg Beaters topped with pico de gallo
    A slice of toast with jam
    A cup of 2% milk

    Though I normally try to stay away from processed foods, I use Egg Beaters for the lower calories. Three eggs is 240 calories, while an equivalent amount of Egg Beaters is 75. The pico de gallo and bread are homemade, and the jam is from the farmers market.



    HOW DO U MAKE PICO DE GALLO:: WOULD LOVE TO TRY

    1 cup of Egg Beaters (scrambled)
    4 oz of Gimme Lean Sausage (veggie sausage)
    Melinda's Habenero hot sauce to taste
    Total around 300 calories


    I'm on a 50/30/20 (Prot./Carb./Fat) diet at the moment. If you are more carb and calorie heavy you can add in some whole wheat bread.

    Scrambled Eggs, sometime Omelette. My trick is pre-chopping the vegetables/onions - etc, and putting them into containers, so I can wake up - whip out the pan, and cook away as I get ready. Example of my Omelette this morning:

    378288_10150940268696191_1900739048_n.jpg

    Calories: 410.
    Egg White Omelette with all the fixings:
    Egg Whites
    Light Swiss Cheese
    Jalapeños, Chopped
    Peppers, Chopped
    A Mushroom, Sliced
    Sweet Onion, Chopped
    Can of Clover Leaf Garlic & Hot Pepper, heated through
    Chilli Hot Sauce
    Mrs Dash, Garlic & Herb Blend

    Macros'

    Calories: 410
    Carbs: 6g
    Fat: 14g
    Protein: 60g!
    Sugar: 2g

    You can omit here and there though - omit the cheese and save about 100, but @50 cals a slice, and protein, eh, I like it.


    Oomg:: looks devilishly yummy ...maybe on a cheat dayy
