    Protien "shake": almond milk, frozen berries, half a banana, protein powder, sometime flax and/or chia seeds.
    Sometimes I add a spoon of PB or use rice/cow/soy milk.

    special K cereal (the high protein version) - sometimes with a bit of fruit (like banana) mixed in and skim milk. Helps keep me going. I'll usually either bring a yogurt to work as a snack in case I feel hungry OR some fruit - grapes lately have been my thing.

    Occasionally, I'll have one or two eggs, a whole-grain slice of bread and sometimes a couple slices of lean turkey bacon - that tends to be more of a weekend breakfast when I know I'll be doing yardwork or house maintenance of some sort (like cleaning off the roof of the house).

    Post-workout, I have 1 cup of milk and whey protein (chocolate).
    Right before I leave for work, I make myself a smoothie with:
    1cup orange juice
    1 frozen banana
    5 frozen strawberries
    1TSP blue agave honey

    The post-workout protein & carbs handles the catabolic phase of my workout to ensure my body doesn't cannibalize muscle.
    The fruit smoothie gives me potassium for sore muscles and complex carbs to make it through til lunch.

    Still losing inches, but not weight. I'm happy with that.

    I do not eat breakfast due to the fact that I am currently doing IF but when I did I had egg whites with plain oates. Gave me my protein and the oates kept me full.

    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.

    Your dogs eat bananas? Mine will pick it up to taste it and they literally spit it out :( Yet, they'll hunt a field mice down in the yard and two crunches and it's down a gullet!

    My normal breakfast is

    3 eggs scrambled
    2 pieces whole wheat toast with butter (I pat per slice)
    2 full slices of BACON (there is no such thing as turkey bacon)
    1 Chobani fruit on the bottom yogurt
    2 cups of coffee with a level teaspoon of sugar each.

    Horrible you say? OMG!!

    Lunch usually is

    8oz +/- Raw Carrots
    8oz +/- Raw Celery
    8oz +/- Raw Bell Peppers
    A can of Chunk white albacore in water, a can of Wild caught Alaska Salmon, a roasted chicken drumstick, or any other small portion of protein I have left over from a previous dinner

    Dinner tonight is

    2 Roasted Chicken Thighs Skin on
    1/2 a plain baked potato
    2 cups of steamed broccoli cuts
    2 Cups of Spinach Arugula salad with 1/2 of a cucumber.

    In between meal snacks are an apple or banana

    It all balances out in the end and I am usually 100-300 calories under my goal due to daily exercise without feeling hungry .

    One egg microwaved on a small saucer for 60 seconds, a slice of ezekiel's bread, artichoke spread or cheese, and a leaf or two of romaine lettuce. I usually eat it as I am walking out the door. It's fast and delicious.

    Coffee. I have a piece of fruit mid afternoon when I wake up. Most of my calories are for dinner and lunch.

    During the week:

    Quaker real medleys...they make them in about 6 different flavors

    Today I had summer berry..yumm

    Some days, I mix a smoothie with berries and almond milk. I also enjoy the overnight oats (a few others have mentioned that).

    On the weekend:

    A couple eggs with sausage or bacon, biscuits and gravy or toast, sometimes fried potatoes (small portion)

    Keep it simple and natural. Whole wheat toast with a tbsp of natural peanut butter and a piece of fruit. Or, 2 egg whites, a cup of oatmeal (not instant), and a 1/2 cup berries. I often drink black tea with a splash of organic skim milk. If I need any of these things sweetened, I use stevia.

    I lost my first 35 pounds doing nothing other than eliminating white bread, sugar, and processed foods from my diet. I also swear by organic milk. If we're not supposed to breast feed babies when we're on medication, then why do we drink milk from a cow that has been on antibiotics or steroids? If something has a lot of chemicals in it to make it less caloric, forget it.

    Porridge, mini breakfast 'quiches' (eggs, almond milk, veges baked in muffin tins - so good!).

    Today I had porridge with cocoa, cinnamon, vanilla and apples. Delicious, tastes almost like dessert, yet 300 calories and totally nutritious!

    Whatever strikes my fancy. This morning I had half an acorn squash topped with lean soft taco filling (beef, cheese, onions) from dinner last night.

    For cereals, I like muesli and various types of granola, although they tend to be high calorie so I pair them with nonfat yogurt and fresh fruit and usually only have half a serving of the granola.

    Egg in the nest (sometimes with some pesto)! Or a wheat english muffin with either plain or philadelphia garden veggie cream cheese! And always a homemade iced soy latte on the side :D

    Adding one more thing that my aunt introduced me to, that I haven't had in awhile, but a scramble with sauteed chard and garlic. NOMZZZZZ

    Weekdays it's a Visuals shake with Spinach and BlueBerries.

    Weekends it's usually scrambled eggs, brown toast, butter (mmm... butter) and maybe skillet bacon. Otherwise if there is no meat, I'll just make a veggie omelet.

    Generally, I prefer a dry breakast, so have nutrigrain cereal & milk biscuits, or belvita biscuits, with a banana. They tend to keep my mind off of food for alot longer than anything 'wet', i.e. yoghurt, buttered toast, cereal with milk.

    Raisin bran, and cantaloupe (sometimes an apple).

    I know may people saw cereal doesn't fill them up but I don't seem to have that problem... in fact most days I don't get a chance to eat again until 4:00 ish, and I still don't get hungry very often. I think it's because I drink a lot of water.

    Unfortunately, most healthy cereals do taste like cardboard. Most are highly processed or very high in sugar. Ones like Kashi aren't too bad, but they tend to be very high in calories so not really great if you're counting calories. Trader Joe's sells some puffed wheat sweetened with a little agave, which I like quite a bit since it's relatively low in sugar and calories. Sometimes I really like bran flakes or chex with some fruit and milk though.

    My breakfast is almost always oatmeal. I love it. So much variety, low in calories, keeps me full. I tend to like sweeter breakfasts, so I don't really eat eggs and the like for breakfast a whole lot.

    Make my own muesli and have it with natural yogurt. The muesli on it's own is 195 calories and very tasty.

    coffee with So Delicious coconut creamer and usually oatmeal sweetened with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. I'm starting to add a fried egg with one extra egg white as well because I need more protein and less carbs in my pre-pre-prediabetic diet. :)

    3 hard boiled eggs, no yolk
    replace the yolk with a small scoop of peanut butter
    1 cup of green tea, 1/4 tsp honey

    354 calories
    21 grams protein
    17 grams carbs
    24 grams fat

    Protein is needed in the morning to make you feel full longer; it really helps! 24 g of fat may seem like a lot but it's from the peanut butter. It's good fat!
