Breakfast Advice?!!!
Hey guys,
I just joined this forum (wish i had found it earlier). I'm trying to cut my sugar intake cuz i eat a lot of cookies and cakes (i'm not fat) because their is something different about the sugar in America. I'm starting to get some fat on my belly.
I need something for breakfast that is easy to make and is healthy also (No cereals, i hate em). When i don't have time to eat in the mornings, i eat some cookies (like 6 or 7) and that's bad i know.
any ideas?

Fruit is the perfect breakfast, and yes, it has sugar, but it's not like the sugar in cookies. The sugar comes with fiber, micro-nutrients, water, etc, and doesn't hit your body as quickly as cookie sugar. Plus, cookies are usually loaded with fat, too, and fruit is low fat.0

I like a good hit of protein in the morning, so eggs often fill the bill for me. Keeping hard-boiled eggs on hand makes a quick breakfast.0
-
I agree with the hard boiled eggs. will help keep you full. I also like yoplait greek yogurt for breakfast. Cliff bars are good too.0
-
I like fried eggs with some wheat bread!
That's what i've been eating for some days.
And i don't mind fats, i actually think fats are good for you because they help in hormone production.0 -
I second the eggs with toast. I also am not a big fan of cereal. I eat it every other day just to have a variety. The egg and toast keep me fuller long. You could also do some toast with peanut butter. I do that occasionally. Also, greek yogurt is another good one. If you are into it, oatmeal.0

Over easy eggs and turkey sausage patty. Full of protein and fairly low calorie.0
-
belly fat cure book has lots of quick easy things to make.0

I'm really boring.. around 6:15 am .I eat a slice of spelt toast w/all fruit jam, and a turkey sausage pattie...every day. It keeps me full until around 9:30 10:00, then I have a hard boiled egg.0

Iced coffee with chocolate peanut butter protein powder!0

Porridge, Eggs, Wheatbix0

I tend to have Porridge and a Whey Protein Shake, or Wheatbix and a Whey protein shake0

If you have any time to bake, I highly recommend the no-knead harvest bread recipe from King Arthur Flour - http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/no-knead-harvest-bread-recipe
You do have to plan ahead to make the bread, but it does make for an easy breakfast. I also like 100% whole wheat English muffins with apple butter or peanut butter.0 -
hard boiled eggs--make 2 dozen on the weekend and just grab like 3 of them with a couple ounces of nuts. bam...240+320 = 560 calories. Add a banana and you're at 660.0
-
I love oatmeal. Don't buy instant oatmeal. Add a little cinnamon and a banana and the only sugar is good sugar from fruit. It's yummy!0
-
Also..make a protein shake at night. Pour it into a cup and grab it when you're in a rush. An easy 500-1000 calories depending on what you put in it.0
-
instant oatmeal is pretty quick to make, and you can add lots of different things for flavor. i like to add cinnamon and maple syrup, apple sauce cinnamon and brown sugar, or some chocolate protein powder to it.
you can also microwave eggs if you are in a rush and have it on whole grain bread with some fat free cheese
or a protein shake on the go, i like to blend chocolate protein powder half a banana and a tbsp of pb with milk and ice
greek yogurt with granola
or you can try and find a recipe for breakfast bars and make a bunch ahead of time to grab on the go
a pb sandwich works for a quick breakfast too0 -
I usually eat what a lot of people have for breakfast for lunch, so here's some lunches I would eat:
Porridge with half a cup of blueberries and cinnamon
A slice of wholegrain toast with stuff on- I like:
Avocado
Avocado and smoked salmon (if you're looking for some protein)
Lettuce and tomato with pepper- my lunch today, SO GOOD
Avocado and like, cooked tomato xD
Or you could pair toast with soup!0 -

For a quickie I eat a bowl of of unsweetened apple sauce (1 cup 50 cal.) or humus on whole wheat bread/toast.....and I keep a few boiled eggs in the fridge if really on the run....and of course, you can never go wrong with peanut butter and anything.
I also use unsweetened apple sauce to sweeten my oatmeal.0 -
Around 300 calories from the leftovers from the night before are my favorite breakfast foods. Love food with flavor. Eggs, cereal, or the typical morning menu is not for me. Pizza is my favorite, everything in moderation.0
-
- fruits
- veggies
- oats (you can add in a bit of sugar too - like brown sugar. or, my fave, sweetener and cocoa - YUM!)0 -
Yes, that is boring, but training a schnauzer to compete in agility is pretty amazing!0
-
Thanks! I actually have two of them that I train in agility...I must be crazy! LOL0

"The sugar in America".... There is nothing different. You're just eating more than you burn.0
-
Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs on wholewheat toast OR chopped spinach on toast with smoked salmon on top and a poached egg on top of that0
-
Make buckwheat crepes, with brown sugar or date sugar, or just regular French or Hungarian crepes. You can add honey and almonds if you need something sweet. I'll add just about anything, turkey sausage with dried cranberries, spinach and bacon, ham and cheese, etc. There are recipes on www.allrecipes.com0

Try refrigetor oatmeal. You put it together the night before and it is ready in the morning. Ther are several varieties based upon what you put in it. The basic items are
1/4 c uncooked oats
1/4 c skim milk
1/4 c Greek yogurt low fat
1-2 tsp honey depending on your taste
You mix together in a covered container. Then you add additional items for your taste.
This morning I am eating it for breakfast. Mine I added 1 tsp peanut butter and 1 tbsp cocoa powder. It has about 360 calories. Ther are other combinations to add with fruit. Eat it chilled. I usually take it out of the refrigetor when I wake up, get dressed and then enjoy. Really easy to make and may help you sweet tooth.0 -

Yes, try oatmeal. It is very filling.
Also, greek yogurt - add in some fruit to give it more flavor/sweetness.
Eggs of course - I personally like mine over easy, but I also love hard boiled.
Edit: Well, looks like you're already covered, actually. c:0
