    I have honey nut cheerios and Silk soy milk in light vanilla. Often I have a midmorning snack. Usually it's yogurt or an apple.

    Love me some breakfast! Its my favorite meal.

    my go to quick fave is my version of a egg mcmuffin.

    I double fiber wheat english muffin
    1/2 cup southwest eggbeaters
    1 slice joseph farms marbled jack cheese
    2 slices canadian bacon.

    Make the eggs in the microwave and heat the meat cheese and muffin in the toaster oven.

    perfect!

    oh and it = 320 calories.

    I love the flavour of the southwest eggbeaters.

    I switch between breakfasts, depending on my shifts/time.

    1/2 cup Multigrain cheerios.
    1/4 cup rolled oats
    1/2 cup almond milk
    along with a Protein shakes/smoothies

    Egg white western omlette.
    1/4 cup egg whites
    1/4 cup egg beaters - Right now it's egg creations cheese and chive.
    2 oz ham
    1 slice onion
    1 piece red pepper
    1 slide of Dempsters whole grain toast


    This weekend I made for my 2nd time and will repeat again cottage cheese pancakes.
    These were wonderful. I blended the cottage cheese with the milk to get rid of the lumps

    my favorite breakfast is plain oatmeal mixed with frozen blueberries, microwaved until cooked, with dry curd fat free cottage cheese mixed in for protein.

    Weekdays I have golden syrup porridge oats - 2 mins in microwave and they keep me going for a cpl of hours... Sometimes I'll chop a banana in there... Calories are about 200 + 60 respectivly

    Weekends when I have more time to cook I will have 2 eggs scrambled and 2 slices of toast and throw a bit of tobasco sauce instead of salt - genius discovery by the way ! Calories are 50x2 + 100x2 (add about another 50 for butter on the toast and for cooking the eggs) = 350 Cals

    Don't be tricked by orange juice - loaded with Vit C but also full of sugar !

    Lately I've been eating one scrambled egg with 1 serving of Multigrain Cheerios and apricot. This morning I also had a banana before I went to the gym, then had my typical breakfast.

    I too am not a breakfast person however I have been making myself a egg white omlette, with dry high fiber toast and some salsa and sour cream and it is yummy! I am on weight watchers and for 3 egg whites, 2 slices high fiber dry toast and 2tbsp sour cream it is only 4points! salsa and veggies are 0points chesse is fattening so I avoid it.. good luck

    I like to have a sourdough english muffin with sunflower seed butter and no sugar added jam.

    weight watchers makes great quesadill and egg/muffin sandwiches which I like to eat when I need a quick breakfast.

    I love cream of wheat.

    When I want a change from my Vector cereal, I like to poach 2 eggs in 1/2 cup good marinara sauce. I round out the meal with a slice or 2 of whole grain, low fat bread. It's actually not much more than my Vector with milk for calories!

    I love to have a smoothie b/c it is quick, easy, and most importantly, portable. I only have them when I know I am going to do some vigorous exccercise that day b/c it is a bit higher in carbs but it is really healthy regardless. Also, I used to spend a ton of money at smoothie joints that claimed to be healthy but the lord only knows what they truly put in those things. I think this recipe makes and even better tasting smoothie that is cheaper...and I know exactly what is in it.

    Berry & Banana Smoothie

    1/2 Frozen Banana
    1 Weight Watchers Yogurt (or light yogurt of your choice), preferably vanillar flavor- recently I have been experimenting with greek yogurt for lower carb..this works well too!
    1 cup of frozen mixed berries
    1 cup of almond milk or light soy milk- you may need more or less depending on how you like the consistency of your smoothie
    1 tbs of flax seed oil ( I like the spectrum brand with ligans)

    Just blend it al together. It taste soooooo delicous. It makes a lot of smoothie and is about 450 calories.

    Hope you enjoy!

    Nothing says you have to eat 'breakfast food' for breakfast. While I do usually eat cereal with fresh fruit, I also sometimes have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. :) Then again, I'm also a person that loves french toast and scrambled eggs for lunch or dinner. :)

    Veggie Quiche

    1 carton of Egg Beaters (I like the southwestern style)
    1 10 oz chopped frozen spinach (thawed, drained)
    Any other vegetables
    1 package shredded low fat cheese (I use Mexican)

    Cook for 20-25 minutes in 350 degrees.

    I either use muffin tins or cut them in slices and eat it through out the week. It's delish with Frank's Red Hot. :)

    #1 protein smoothie

    #2 Half of a wheat bagel with a little bit of chream cheese and a banana = less than 280-300 calories

    #3 oatmeal ( i put a scoop of unflavored whey protein powder in it)

    #4 scrambled eggs and turkey sausage links

    Hi, just found your question while scanning the topics. I never have liked breakfast either, but if I am up for
    awhile, I can usually eat. ( I couldn't do that when I was working, but now am home most days)
    Anyway, I have found if I eat oatmeal (I add raisens & cinnamon) it not only is good, but sticks with me all day !!
    Good luck !

    Don't forget: Sliced apples and melted JIF peanut butter. :smooched:


    I like this too and it's different: Three hard boiled egg whites, one hard boiled yolk. Fork smash them on a plate. Salt and pepper to taste and add just a drop or two of balsamic (or other) vinegar. Very tasty IMHO.
