    Well I have a protein shake every morning but I've been feeling tired of chicken, shrimp and other fav food staples so it may be a matter of time for the shakes. I'd better bump this thread. :wink:

    I usually eat a piece of whole wheat, high fiber toast with some peanut butter on it and occasionally some fruit with it. I also drink water with it.

    I have a piece of toast with 1 slice of cheese, 4 thin slices of tomato and 1 slice of shaved ham (approx. 25g). About a 190 calories, give or take depending on what type of cheese you have. I have full fat cheese (I refuse to eat low-fat cheese, what's the point?!) but I buy the pre-sliced (real, not processed) packages. This makes it simple to control the cheese calories, most of them are around 80 to 85 calories per slice. This keeps me feeling pretty full for about 3 hours, until morning tea time.

    My fave breakfast right now is the high fiber english muffin with an egg. I toast the engllish muffin the night before and pack the uncooked egg in a small, muffin sized tupperware coated with cooking spray. When Im ready for breakfast at work, I microwave the egg on medium heat till the yolk is set and then microwave the toasted muffin. Eat that McDonalds!
    I also like dinner leftovers for breakfast. Some people get grossed out by that but I like dinner foods more than breakfast.
    Also, cottage cheese is pretty awesome. Lots of protein which I like in the am.

    every Sunday night I boil a dozen eggs for the week and every morning I grab 2 hard boiled eggs and Oikos organic green yougurt 4oz. That's 220 calories and and about 23g of protein. Then have a cup of grapes or some other type of fruit for a mid morning snack. I like your sandwich idea though- might have to start that one.

    ______
    Around 380 calories

    Keeps me full for several hours and fueled for morning workouts :smile:

    One scoop Right Whey protein powder, 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 2 Tbsp PB2, and a frozen banana cut into chunks. Blend in blender. Tastes like ice cream! And for breakfast, no less!

    Three eggs scrambled or over easy with hot sauce and a double fiber english muffin with real butter pretty much every morning. Takes maybe 5min to prepare fresh each day so I don't bother with any kind of making in advance and freezing.

    This may sound a bit weird, but it is yummy.

    Toast a piece of whole wheat bread. Slice up a tomato and then top it with 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. You can sprinkle with a bit of Lawry's seasoning salt. Then put it under the broiler and let the cottage cheese melt.

    Good luck!
