Do you have a breakfast staple that's NOT oatmeal?

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.

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!

There are some awesome ideas in this thread! Thanks everyone!

One more, I have discovered recently Luna Chocolate Peppermint Stick bars for when you are on the go. Soooooooooo heavenly.

smoothie: non fat milk, natures 3 berries from costco (frozen), frozen strawberries, fresh kale, fresh spinach and protein powder. Delicious, and you get a good start on your veggie servings for the day!!

I like make a smoothie of a cup of frozen strawberries, half a banana, a cup of unsweetened almond milk, and a spoonful of sweetener. It's delicious and surprisingly filling

Also, nonfat vanilla greek yogurt with unsweetened cocoa powder and sweetener and some strawberries tastes great and gives a good balance of protein and carbs.

french toast!

eggs, milk, wholemeal bread, organic peanut butter with salt reduced baked beans and a banana

I have 2 favorites.

Spinach, Egg White and Cheese Breakfast Wrap (usually have this with fresh fruit)

1 whole wheat, low carb tortilla
1/4 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese
1/2 cup all white liquid egg whites
1/4 cup baby spinach leaves

230 calories, 12 carbs, 7 fat, 28 protein, 7 fiber


Kefir Smoothie

1 cup lowfat, plain unsweetened Kefir
1 cup frozen berries (I used mixed, but any kind will do)
1 Tbsp agave nectar
1 Tbsp golden flaxseeds

300 calories, 47 carbs, 7 fat, 16 protein, 9 fiber


Both are sooooo delicious. Kefir smoothie is a little high in calories and carbs, but it contains a healthy fat (flaxseeds) which I sometimes have trouble getting in on my diet and the carbs come from fruit and the kefir.

Weetbix + skim milk + banana + cinnamon.

love it.

I eat curry for breakfast. Usually its just meat, veggies broth and spices. I cant stand eggs and dont like eating unnecessary carbs, so most traditional breakfasts are out. I also eat chorizo with 1/2 a potato for brunch on the weekends, I can afford more calories/carbs when pooling breakfast and lunch.

Small serving of Kellogg's Raisin Bran (no added sugar), 3-4 oz 1% milk, medium banana, hot tea w/o sugar. Had IBS (mild) and this cleared it up in less than 3 weeks, in addition to being pretty tasty. But it does use up the vast majority of allowed sugar in one meal.

Kashi's Go Lean cereal (has same protein as one egg and lots of fiber) with blueberries (great anti-oxidants) and skim milk- yum!
