Does anybody have some quick nourishing food ideas for breakfast? I'm tired of eating the same thing, scrambled eggs. I need something that will keep me full till about 1:30 in the afternoon. That is the reason I eat eggs. Open to suggestions. Thanks:smile:

    Oatmeal! RedRiver Cereal - Corn Meal - Any of the hot grain cereals really - Quinoa is another good one that is actually a complete protien to boot! You can add seeds and nuts and fruit to it to bulk it up! Dried fruits are good as they are little balls of energy - only problem with that is the higher sugar content!

    I do my oatmeal (1/3c uncooked most days - sometimes more if I am really hungry) every morning with mixed frozen berries and about 1/8c ground flax... YUMMY!!! And the color is fun! Who doesnt love pink foods? This probably keeps me going for about 4 hours...

    Whole wheat english muffin. I make a little sandwich of it: Deli turkey and a laughing cow cheese wedge, and even a few pieces of spinach if you like. Can add a tangerine on the side - makes a pretty filling breakfast.

    Every morning I put in a blender, 1/2c n/f milk, 1 serving of tofu, 1/2 plain n/f yogurt, 1/2 banana, 1/2c berries (any kind) and some psyllium seed. The sugar in the fruit helps you get your energy and the protein in the yogurt and tofu keep you going to lunch. Add more tofu if you want, very little calories. Oh, and the psyllium seed keeps you regular!

    Where can I buy the psyllium seeds? Is it ok to leave out the tofu? Otherwise it sounds good!! Thanks!

    I have a shakeology smoothie everyday. I blend it with different combos of berries, nut butters and liquids. Message me if you're interested :)

    That's a pretty long stretch!

    I'm not sure this will last you, but it's my go-to first thing in the a.m. right now--cottage cheese smoothie. Sounds weird, but it's decent. I blend a serving of cottage cheese with fruit, ice and water. You could do juice, of course, but I'm limiting fruit juice. There's a lot of protein in cottage cheese--similar to greek yogurt but less expensive.

    Anyway that you could follow that up with a handful of nuts and a piece of fruit later?

    For my breakfast I eat what I would not eat during the day. All my sugar intake (not fruit) is for breakfast. For example if I crave cheesecake or chocolate I would eat them for breakfast (portion in mind - to stay within 400 calories for the entire breakfast) So I have entire day ahead of me to burn bad calories ))) After that only halthy food for the rest of the day (no oil, nothing fried, no sugar, nothing full fat...) This approach makes me to look forward to mornings and get up anytime with no problems!:laugh:
