    Hi! Sorry if I'm not making sense with the measures, it's kinda difficult to make the translation from metric system for the first time... :blushing: I use my food scale a lot now as I'm at the beginning - again!
    My breakfast consists of the following and keeps me full until it's lunch time and it's just 500-600 kcal, depending on the bread I choose (dark rye crispbread is just 50 kcal a piece, my full-grain bread is some 100-150 kcal a slice):


    A biiig mug of tea with a teaspoon of honey :drinker:

    A bowl of my favourite mourning-mix:
    + 125 g or 4.4 oz Cottage cheese (2% fat)
    + 200 g or 2 dl or 7 oz or 0.85 cups Natural yogurt Greek style (2% fat)
    + 45 g or 1 dl or 1.5-1.6 oz or 0.4 cups Müsli with dried berries and nuts (max 350 kcal/100g or 99 kcal/oz)

    AND a 50 g or 1.8 oz slice of full-grain bread OR dark rye crispbread
    + 25 g or 0.9 oz of cold cut lean turkey
    + lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes etc. on top

    This morning, a toasted sandwich of banana, peanut butter and jam. I sometimes have yoghurt and cereal. I had a big thing for overnight oats, but that died down when I got pregnant.

    I have been making a shake every morning to take to work. I use....

    1 cup Spinach
    1-1/1/2 cups almond milk (original flavor)
    1/2-1 cup Frozen cherries or Berry mix
    Scoop of protein powder
    1 Banana

    I drink it on the way to work or while at work! Trust me, the spinach does not change the flavor either!

    I often make a flatbread pizza with 80 cals worth of WW shredded cheese on a whole wheat flatbread (with tomato paste, oregano, garlic powder, and red pepper) in the toaster oven.

    I have two standard breakfasts:

    1. Half a whole wheat pita, egg whites, banquet turkey breakfast sausage.
    2. 1 cup lowfat cottage cheese, mixed fresh fruit (pineapple is a favorite of mine), and a half a whole wheat pita (toasted).

    I also enjoy adding some veggies to the egg whites, and occassionally, a small piece of lowfat cheese.

    I usually eat Kashi cinnamon and honey oatmeal. And of course, I have to have my daily cup of coffee. I canNOT start my day without that.

    If you like Mexican food, one of my favorite breakfasts (or lunch or dinner lol) is:

    1 Mission extra thin corn tortilla (40 cals) lightly sprayed with cooking spray and crisped in a frying pan on both sides (like a tostada shell). Topped with Rosarita Zesty salsa fat free refried beans (1/4 cup 50 calories), a fried egg (cooked with cooking spray salt and pepper 74-78 cals) then pour 1/4 cup warmed Las Palmas Medium Verde Enchilada sauce (25 cals) over it and top with 1/2 svg Mexican blend shredded cheese (55 cals). Depending on how much cooking spray you use it may add 4 cals or so.

    It's delicious and really fills you up for about 253 cals and 14 grams of protein! Love it <3 plus I feel like I'm getting something special.

    Lovely and simple banana on brown toast - not into all this fancy stuff! Sometimes porridge made with water and a bit of cinnamon :)

    It depends, my husband does the cooking (I'd end up poisoning us). So oatmeal, cereal, or a variety of eggs (regular, scrambled, sandwich).

    I always eat a healthy breakfast... some things I may have:

    - 2 piece of whole wheat toast with peanut butter and jam and milk

    - puffed wheat and shredded wheat cereal mixed together with blueberries or dried cranberries on top with milk

    - a healthy milkshake- frozen banana, frozen berries (or fresh fruit), milk and yogurt, sometimes add rolled oats

    - porridge with added berries, for a treat add apples fried in cinnamon sugar- it is heavenly!

    Hope this helped!

    I have found the best breakfast: greek yogurt and almonds, also I have 2 cups of coffee with 1/4 cup skin milk. I never used to eat breakfast so finding things I liked and could tolerate early was important.

    I rotate through a few options. Usually it is whatever strikes my fancy, how hungry I am, what I have in the house and how much time I have.

    1. Fruit smoothy -- 8 oz OJ, strawberries, blueberries, protein powder
    2. Oatmeal and a piece of fruit.
    3. Scrambled eggs (or omelet) -- Two eggs, two egg whites, splash of milk, fresh chives (add ham, cheese and maybe mushrooms)
    4. Apple/fruit and a Kashi granola bar. (Don't know why, but I don't feel hungry from them soon after, unlike many other bars).
    5. Yogurt and fruit.
    6. Fried eggs on toast with ham or bacon and cheddar cheese. (Open faced sandwich style.)
