    My usual is:

    Bagel Thin (110 cals)
    2 tbsp cream cheese
    2 eggs - cooked a variety of ways (hard boiled, poached, over easy, scrambled, etc)
    water

    Seems to be good combo of carbs & protein for me

    What is everyone eating for breakfast? I need some quick and easy ideas.

    What are some healthy cereals that don't taste like cardboard?

    I don't like any cereals except sugary ones, and they leave me hunger when the sugar spike dips back down.

    So I started making baked oatmeal. I love oatmeal cookies and peanut butter cookies, so I found a recipe that is oatmeal and peanut butter, eggs, milk, and a little brown sugar. On the weekends, I make up a batch in a 13X9 pan and cut them in squares, then wrap up servings in foil. So in the mornings, I just grab it out of the fridge and take it to work with me.

    Instant oatmeal, boiled egg, and either an ounce of cheese or a 100 calorie almond pack. There for a bit I was doing French toast (lo-cal, lo-fat, no added sugar) or egg beaters and turkey sausage.

    I alternate between egg whites with or without toast and a half cup of oats with water.

    ditch the cold cereals processed with high heat and hard for your body to digest and go for old fashioned oatmeal and various Bob's Red Mill hot cereals. I love the mighty tasty gluten free cereal. I don't have gluten intolerance but that cereal is just plain yummy!

    a few favorites--light ww toast (2) and peanutbutter; light ww toast and fried egg (use veg spray); oatmeal with fresh fruit. I add cinnamon to most of my foods. I guess I should track that, I haven't been. And I have coffee every morning. If I am really in a hurry, I will grab a breakfast bar, usually have those on hand. I don't do cereal too often.

    0% fat greek yogurt with 1/4 cup of granola and maybe a teaspoon of honey. Keeps me filled. Or fruit (banana and apple). Try not to exceed 400 calories at breakfast.

    Sometimes I have Lindt 85% dark chocolate (five ingredients)
    Sometimes I have a few eggs with some Kerrygold butter and salt.
    Sometimes I have eggs with some Hormel 'uncured' bacon (even uncured meat products are cured - just with celery juice/poweder - a natural nitrate/nitrite).

    Sometimes just a huge cup of coffee with some heavy whipping cream. Sometimes I put full fat coconut milk in it.

    Sometimes is just a whole can of full fat coconut milk with unflavored whey protein (NOW Superfoods makes a good one).

    But I'm rarely hungry in the early morning. I usually eat pretty late the night before and I eat big at dinner. I only eat when my body tells me to.

    I used to eat oatmeal and a large apple for breakfast. I would be starving and shaking like leaf 90 minutes later (blood sugar crash). Yet 2 or 3 eggs with some butter and salt will keep me full for quite a while. And no blood sugar crash. Even the healthiest version of the standard american diet (calorie-restricted) had me hungry every 2 hours. Protein and fat will keep you satisfied, satiated, and full of energy all day.

    And I couldn't care less about calories. I've been tracking my calorie burn for a year and a half and CI/CO apparently doesn't apply to me (my body cares more about what I'm putting in it, not how much and besides, the body uses protein (amino acids) and fat (fatty acids) for repair and maintenance - not energy so you can't even count those calories (a calorie is a unit of energy only). 70-75% of my daily calories as FAT baby!!

    Either 2 slices wholemeal toast w/peanut butter and jam, oatmeal with half a banana and some brown sugar or poached/scrambled eggs on toast. I sometimes need the protein as I don't always stay full for long even with the oatmeal.
    It can be a lot of Cals but I find I need to eat more in the early part of the day and can with less in the evening normally.

    Make steel cuts oats in the crockpot the night before. It's off the hook delicious and filling.
    1 cup steel cut oats
    4 cups water and 1/2 cup milk product if you want to make it a little creamier
    (half and half, almond milk, milk, or just more water)
    1 cup raisins or any dried fruit you like
    1 peeled and chopped up apple
    2 cinnamon sticks or cinnamon spice.
    Mix it all in a greased crockpot and put on low for about 8 hrs.
    Okay to stir it if you get up.

    Makes 4 one cup servings at 309 calories a bowl (made with the 1/2 cup half and half)
    Reheat the rest in the following morning.
    Though I also eat it cold, and eat it for dessert with fat free redi whip, yum yum yum.
    Good with almonds on top, banana, unsweetnened coconut, any nuts or fruit...
    you can add brown sugar, maple syrup whatever sweetener but I don't think it needs it at all.
  • Old fashioned oats with a Tbsp of dried cranberries or raisens with a spash of milk and dash cinnamon, . sweetened with stevia, with 1/2 Banana or chopped apple.

    If I could, I'd go to Sam's and buy another box of Jimmy Dean D'Lite's turkey sausage, egg and cheese muffins. Holy crap those are delicious. (now I'm sad I dont have them. Not getting them at Sam's costs $7.50 for a box of 4 instead of $12 for 12!)

    But since I don't have a Sam's membership or a chest freezer anymore, I normally eat an english muffin with natural peanut butter and a banana...I make it a sandwich and bring it on the road with me. The dogs normally get the part of the banana that won't fit on my muffin.
  • 16oz Chobani peach greek yogurt
  • I work at McDonald's at 5am, 5 or 6 days a week. We have oatmeal at McDonald's so I eat the oatmeal with brown sugar from my work. Its easy and soo much healthier than eating a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit every morning lol. I used to skip breakfest because I felt like it didn't matter and it was important, but now that I eat breakfest I'm losing more weight.

    Exactly! Love my 2 lunches and 1 dinner (plus snacks)! It is really quick to reheat leftovers or make a sandwich.

    During the week, 1 cup of cottage cheese and an apple or a cup of berries.
    Weekends I usually have a couple eggs and toast or an omelet.
