in Food and Nutrition
As of Monday, I'm back on healthy eating and regular exercise -- been rubbish in the last few weeks and can see/feel the difference. I'm good for lunch, dinner and snacks as I had a massive batch cooking session yesterday which will last me a fortnight! However, I'm stuck on breakfast.

I usually need wholegrains and protein to feel satisfied. I tend to eat breakfast in work and have access to a toaster and microwave.

Just not feeling inspired at the moment! On maintenance (1810 net cals but looking at 2000 with exercise) so can afford a few calories...I'm also a VEGGIE so NO MEAT! :)

    i have eggs usually.. but I did make some oatmeal bars homemade out of basically A TON of oats, protein powder, almond milk, nuts & dried berries/fruits. They were great to-go & you can put alot of cals in them, and whatever carb fat protein ratio u need pretty much.

    A bagel would prob be easiest for you but its got no protein :///

    1/4 cup of quinoa cooked in 1 cup unsweetened chocolate almond milk + 1 mashed banana + 1/4 cup frozen blueberries (or fruit of your choice)

    it's better fresh, but if I'm running late I'll take it to school with me and warm it up. If I know it's going to be a long time until lunch and I can spare the calories, I'll also add some slivered almonds, walnuts, or pecans

    I just made a batch of baked oatmeal in muffin tins, they came out good mine are 200 cals each and 6 grams of protein but I think the protein could be upped pretty easily. Mine were 3 cups of oats to 1 cup of almond milk, 2 eggs, cinamon, 1/4 cup natural cane sugar (it called for brown) a pinch of salt and some baking powder, 4 oz walnuts, mashed up a couple bananas into the mixture then sliced bananas on top and in the last few minutes of baking I sprinked a tiny bit of brown sugar on top. 1 tsp did all 12.

    next time I'm going to add some more egg whites and a bit less sugar, maybe try apple cinamon.

    Low fat Greek yoghurt. Mix in granola, fruit and some stevia or Truvia to sweeten it.

    Or a bagel with cream cheese. Toast and peanut butter. You could always add a protein shake if you want more protein too.

    I love love love greek yougurt...(I get Yoplait 100 calorie 2x protien), mix in 1/4 C rolled oats (raw), and about a cup of fresh fruit (ususally raspberries, peaches blueberries), and sometimes if I don't have fresh fruit I will use frozen berries. So delish and about 250 cals.

    Lately I've been having porridge made with hazlenut milk, perhaps with a square of dark chocolate grated over or with sliced banana. Otherwise, I've been leaning towards granola with soy vanilla yogurt.

    I'm a big fan of whole grain english muffins. Low cal and high fiber. I eat them with chevre (goat cheese), soy butter, peanut butter and honey, or nutella!

    I also eat a lot of instant oatmeal. And yogurt. I'm on a budget so I get big containers of low-fat yogurt (greek is expensive!) and add granola cereal like go lean crunch and go lean crisp! Yum!

    I love breakfast!

    These all sound delicious ^^

    I usually have oatmeal with a little protein powder mixed in, sometimes a little coconut, and soy milk
    Cheerios are always an excellent go-to!

    I try to eat as little as possible during the day because I know that I tend to snack in the evening after dinner. When I do eat breakfast I have a little bit cereal, apart from on the rare occasion when my mum cooks me eggs and stuff :)

    my new favorite breakfast is 1/2 cup nonfat plain fage yogurt with 1/2 cup uncooked oats and some all fruit jam or nutella mixed in. It keeps me full for a long time and I LOVE it. I feel icky if I don't eat it, I strayed one day this week and I wasn't as full or happy. YUM

    Good ideas above!

    I eat two eggs in olive oil and a whole wheat English muffin. Protein keeps me fuller longer, but an apple about 2 hours later for snack keeps lunch at bay so well that I'm not dying to eat. I also love shredded wheats but I put them in a baggie (dry) and eat them on my way to work with coffee. The fiber keeps me full till snack (apple).

    I make a pancake egg sandwich with 2 eggs and a bagel. THis is fairly portable and even tastes good cold but you could warm it in the microwave. Then I have a cup of soy milk and a banana.

    I'm doing low carb so I have fried eggs, bacon, and 1 slice of low carb bread with butter. Since the bread has 5 carbs, uterus only slice I get all day. Sometimes I have scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese. This is my biggest meal. I have a salad for lunch almost everyday.

    I have a protein shake and usually steamed vegetables. Fills me up and low on calories. And If I feel like it sometimes I will make a low fat, low sugar berry smoothie.

    Most days I'm running out the door and grab yogurt or a granola bar. If I have the time, I love eggs and whole wheat pancakes!

    I like weight control oatmeal because it has added protein about 7 grams, and I make it with almond milk, you could use regular, soy, or rice milk what ever you prefer. I also like Go Lean crisp cinnom cereal which has about 10 grams of protein.

    Instant oatmeal (plain, not the kind that comes in packets with sugar/flavouring) with a bit of peanut butter in it. I find it helps keep me full for a longer period of time. As long as you have a microwavable cup for the water, you can put the oatmeal in a disposable cup, pour in the water and keep a jar of peanut butter on hand at work? Might be a bit of work, but maybe worth a try if you like oatmeal.

    If I'm in a hurry, I'll grab a granola bar.

    When I have time I have vegetable soup with an egg poached inside.

    (I make a giant stock pot of vegetable soup each week and keep it in the fridge. It becomes my "fast food" and it contains a large variety so most vits are covered).

    Currently I'm on a sweet potato kick. Baked in the skins. Also works well in a ziplock steamer back thrown in the microwave if you have to do it at work.

    I must do the above type breakfasts due to blood sugar issues.

    Don't jump into this all at once though. Baby steps.
