I am no good at coming up with new things to make for breakfast...seems like during the week I eat oatmeal or some kind of granola bar at my desk and then the weekends it is always eggs and turkey bacon. Anyone have any really filling, easy, tastey breakfast ideas for a family of 3 on the weekends and me when I need something on the go through the week??
Can not wait to see the ideas.

    I've been making omlets a lot lately....there are a gazillion different ingrediants to use (veggies, meats) and I find it filling and healthy. My favorite thing to put on them is a little salsa. Mmmm.

    Waiting on some other ideas too.... :)

    Fast and easy... greek yogurt, maybe with a bit of granola in it... hard boiled eggs... sometimes when I'm really busy I'll just have some string cheese.

    I often stop at dunkin donuts and get either the plain oatmeal or 'splurge' on grilled cheese on flatbread (370 cal).

    Subway makes nice little 3 inch morning sandwiches with eggwhite plus bacon/ham/cheese veggies etc that are ~200 cal.

    I just bought to try saw in someones diary... special k frozen breakfast sandwiches, flatbread/bacon/cheese ~200 or less, will see how those are.

    On the weekend, I'm more likely to fry an egg and have with sandwich thin... or maybe a little pb/j on a sandwich thin.

    I second the Greek yogurt. Today I had 1/2 cup plain yogurt with 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/2 banana and 1/8 cup walnuts. It's under 300 calories and super healthy!

    TRY WHOLE WHEAT WRAPS WITH 1EGG/1EGG WHITE SCRAMBLED WITH COLORFUL PEPPERS AND ONIONS AND JUST A TOUCH OF LOWFAT SHREDDED CHEESE

    I ALSO EAT NUTRIBULLET SHAKES WHICH CONSIST OF A VEGGIE AND 2-3 FRUIT CHOICES BLENDED WITH WATER WHICH MAKE GREAT FILLING SHAKES FOR MORNINGS ON THE RUN

    MULTIGRAIN CHEERIOS AND SHREDDED WHEAT WITH A BANANA ARE ALSO QUICK MEALS THAT CAN BE PACKED

    Greek yogurt here too!
    1 cup of Fage plain greek yogurt with some fresh berries or melon is my go-to breakfast. Skip the granola.
    Oh, and coffee...with a side of coffee.

    I like some toasted Ezekiel bread topped with almond butter and sliced banana. This weekend I am going to make a clean eating blueberry french toast casserole from graciouspantry.com. Haven't made it yet but it sounds really good. Recently I also made a southwestern egg casserole dish on a weekend from the cookbook Everybody Cooks. It was really tasty and not bad on the calories/fat/carbs.

    I know you said you are already doing oatmeal but my favorite breakfast a few times a week is a "bowl of goodness". I start with a base of old fashioned oats cooked in almond milk and then mix in a whole bunch of stuff: unsweetened cocoa powder, cinnamon, berries, banana or raisins, vanilla extract, chia seeds, peanut butter or almond butter, plain non fat greek yogurt. Just a little bit of everything. It's soooo satisfying and as long as you only use a little of each mix in, it's not high in calories/fat/carbs.

    I toast a slice of Cinnamon & Raisin Ezekiel bread with a thin layer of peanut butter on top, a piece of fresh fruit (1/2 slice of apple, orange, or banana) and a cup of coffee. Sometimes, I have a cup of mint tea.wink:

    Fage 2% Greek yogurt with some fresh or frozen fruits, I found the Special K breakfast sandwiches are very tasty. have them alot for breakfast due to the convenience of popping them in the microwave & i can eat them in the care with a cup of tea and I'm good!
    Try the yogurt with grapes very tasty & refreshing!!:love:

    Lately I've been using a lot of turkey sausage. They have 2 packs of turkey sausage patties from jimmy dean. They are only 90 calories for the 2 of them. I also have the 90 calorie muffins. I fry up some egg whites and voila! 2 egg and sausage muffins for 300 calories! They are absolutely delcious too! I also like the turkey sausage crumbles that they sell. I cut up one potato, green peppers, tomatoes, onions and fry them together. Add in the sausage. And then mix in with some egg whites. top it off with a little bit of shredded cheese. Tastes amazing. Had that this morning at 7 and am JUST now getting hungry for lunch! :)

    I love making quiche in muffin pans, which helps with portion control, and you can make a batch over the weekend, refrigerate and then heat them up in the morning if you're pressed for time. You can find recipes all over on the internet, and tweak them to your particular taste and diet.

    I like to make omlets with egg beaters, 2% mozzerella or provolone cheese and fire roasted salsa. A equivilant two egg omlet has less than 170 cal.

    I make ahead egg whites. about 3. then I put it on an English muffin with weight watcher's cheese slice. It isn't bad for you, and if you take that yolk out, it way less calories for the eggs. I put it all in fridge then heat it up in the morning.

    I make breakfast cupcakes (or muffins, I prefer cupcakes...)
    Scramble 1 egg for every 2 cupcakes
    Mix in veggies, meat, and cheese of your choice just like an omelet
    pour into lined cupcake tins (don't use metal liners, you'll be microwaving these later!)
    bake at 350 for about 20-30 minutes until fully cooked

    I usually make 1-2 dozen at a time then put enough for the week in the fridge and the rest in a freezer bag, reheat the refrigerated ones for 30ish seconds the frozen ones usually take about 1 minute.

    These are great little grab and go breakfasts and come out to around 75-100 calories each depending on how much meat and cheese etc you use. 102 is the most mine have been and I used an avocado so that really upped the count.

    I will eat one of these and a piece of fruit and be good for most of the morning.

    Do you use egg whites only or whole eggs?

    Love this idea....now I just need to purchase a muffin pan. I had one once but it rusted so bad I did not feel it was safe to use anymore. Thank you so much for this idea

    This morning I made myself a 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder and 1/2 tablespoon peanut butter.

    It was very filling and really delicious.

    I love bananas and I can not just bring myself to eat half of one..but man are they high in calories. I get confused...when i did weight watchers fruit and vegetables were free ...we did not have to count them in our points. I wonder why if the calories are so high.

    Not a big fan of cottage cheese. I can eat it on a salad with lettuce or with pineapple sometimes. WIsh I liked it more.

    1 Dannon Light N' FIt Greek Yogurt container with 1 cup of Special K protein plus cereal. Throw in some berries and you have a breakfast with 25 grams of protein and under 300 calories!

    I go back and forth between greek yogurt with berries and flax granola, hemp waffle with pb spread on top, or "ezekial french toast" which is 1.5 pieces of Ez raisin bread soaked in 1 egg with little cinnamon and allspice then pan fried with cooking spray and topped with a little honey or agave. All of these are really filling and quick.
