Getting Started with breakfast..HELP

I'm new to this and Im starting my journey, but I need help with breakfast. I dont have my house loaded with fresh safe healthy food yet, and Im not a breakfast eater and I know to be sucessful and to fuel your body it starts with that meal..How do you just jump in to breakfast when your a drink coffee till lunch person.. PLEASE HELP!!

If you don't like breakfast, you don't have to eat it. Meal timing and frequency have no impact on metabolic rate or weight loss. It's all personal preference. Breakfast might work for some people because it will keep them from eating too much at their next meal or keep them from making unhealthy choices later on in the day.

However, there is no need to "kick start your metabolism" or any of that false information.

buy:
fat free plain yogurt
banana
oatmeal

add
cocoa powder
splenda
dried fruit
nuts
cinnamon

mix and match

also cant go wrong with egg white omelette!!! mmm

I've been drinking meal replacements in the morning. SlimFasts, in particular, but there are plenty of other comparable items.

They get a little expensive, but they are great because you just pop it open and drink! Some people think they taste gross, but if I can get my boyfriend to drink them, then I think almost anyone should be able to

For me, ts a great way to get something in your stomach and set you up for a successful day.

Even on my worst day, I can always choke down a banana. I exercise in the morning so breakfast is a very important meal in my plan. If you are an afternoon or evening exerciser, later meals will be more important.

I NEVER used to eat breakfast. Coffee until lunch was good for me! It was really hard at first to choke down anything in the morning but now if I don't eat breakfast I am starving by lunch.

I typically eat one of two things. I started with smoothies because I didn't actually have to "eat" it. And I could drink it on my way to work.

1 cup frozen strawberries
1 ripe banana (I usually throw overriping bananas in the freezer to use for smoothies) helps sweeten the plain yogurt
1 cup plain fat free or low fat yogurt - greek if you have it (more protein)
1 cup fat free or low fat milk, or unsweetened almond, soy or whatever kind of milk you like
Mix in a blender and drink

I now usually eat:
3 eggs or two whole eggs with two egg whites
1 piece of whole wheat toast w/ 1 Tbs of natural peanut butter

I find that the protein really keeps me satisfied. I don't think you actually NEED breakfast to succeed but for me it helps me not binge later in the day.

A lot of "experts" suggest that you must start the day with breakfast to lose weight. But they usually don't explain why they say that (and many don't even know). There is no fundamental requirement to eat breakfast to lose weight. Your average over time of calories in and calories out are all that really matters (within normal ranges) for the sole goal of weight loss.

That being said, there are many reasons why one will find eating breakfast a good idea for weight loss and I certainly do it every morning. Breakfast keeps me from getting ravenous around 10AM (and then risk heavy snacking). I also found that it takes a very small number of calories (especially if they are a good balance of carbs, fats, and proteins) to make me feel full. I found that eating a lot of small meals during the day made it easier to stay full and still at the end of the day not having taken in too many calories (as opposed to the way I used to do it where I waited until I was ravenous and then ate way too many calories too fast before I felt full).

So anyway, eating breakfast may be good for you and your schedule/lifestyle. If so, enjoy it. Just don't think that it is some magical requirement for losing weight.

So, to actually answer your question.

My typical quick morning meals usually involve one or more of the following: cottage cheese, boiled eggs (I boil and peel them ahead of time to have handy), various smoothies that I make with frozen fruits/berries, and in a pinch, protein bars.

By the way, if you can stand to eat it (some love it, some hate it) I think cottage cheese is just about one of the greatest diet foods on the planet. It is super convenient and has a great balance of carbs, fat (I use the 1%), and protein.

i never used to be a breakfast person. however, i have learned that if i have a kinda high calorie, high protein breakfast, i do just fine until lunch, and actually supper is my smallest meal, sometimes i will just have fruit/veggies b/c i am not hungry. that said, i just cant get out of bed and eat, i'd throw up- food that early is just unappealing. i'm up early, and unfortunately have a desk job, so i eat breakfast while working, about 3-4hrs after my feet have hit the floor in the morning.

for me, i have also learned that lots of whole grain/high fiber DO NOT fill me up. i will be hungry 30minutes later. my body does best with protein, so my breakfast is eggs (omlette) and milk.

it is finding what works best for you. what works for me is not going to work for the next person. trial and error. try something for 2-3days before you move on. good luck!
