Good Breakfast Idea's?

I think good breakfast ideas include cottage cheese (loaded with protein!!) and whole wheat toast and fruit.

Hi guys, I was just wondering if any of you wanted to share what you eat for breakfast.
I never seem to get enough calories, although I do feel like I am feeding myself well enough.

If you could include quick idea's, recipes, calorie counts or any other tips I would appreciate it very much!

Thanks x

Try a bowl of steel cut oats with berries or other fruit. Steel cut oats have a lot more nutrition than regular oatmeal.

I usually have a banana with 100% peanut or almond butter. Its soooo good. Followed by a handful of nuts Or dried fruit... I don't have a huge amount of time to eat in the mornings ...but i try and grab what i can. If I'm super busy I'll grab a protein shake, or a homemade protein bar........ Hmmm haven't had oats in a while for breakfast...may try that tomorrow actually!

My current favorite breakfast is two hardboiled eggs, half an avocado, and a slice of whole wheat toast....mmmmm.

kashi go lean crunch cereal - i like the cinnamon crumble, chaboni greek style yogurt, eggland's best eggs, kashi all natural blueberry waffles, old fashioned oatmeal. lots of healthy choices out there..

So many options, hard to know where to start! Maybe you could open your diary and we could offer suggestions on how you could improve on what you're already doing?

Some of my favourites are muesli with fruit and greek yoghurt, porrige with fruit and honey, scrambled eggs and toast, peanut butter on toast.

Lots of ways to adjust the amount of calories you are getting in the same meal - eg if I want to stay on the low side, I'll use berries as fruit, if I want higher cals, I'll use a banana. You can use low fat or full fat dairy, scramble eggs in olive oil rather than boiling/poaching, have peanut butter on toast instead of vegemite etc etc.

And on a side note, I saw on your profile you're an Aussie in Europe. *waves* me too

Are you gluten free by choice or is it do to being a celiac and/or allergic to gluten?

Alternatives could include cottage cheese, greek yogurt, eggs of all sorts, etc.

My other favourite is Fage Greek yogurt, with berries and a sprinkling of grape nuts. Delicious! I also throw in a protein shake some days if I'm in a rush.

I either do oldfashioned oats with unsweetened applesauce to add some sweetness or lately i've been into smoothies: i use 1 cup Fage plain greek yogurt, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup frozen black currants, 1 med banana, 1/4 avocado, and little bit of grated fresh ginger. Also i make my Power muffins, which i'll try to post recipe today, and i eat one with my smoothie. That's what i had today, feel super awesome!

Coffee with cream and sugar.

i make my own breakfast sandwiches. it varies week to week and what is on sale. start with low cal english muffins. you could do egg, turkey bacon, turkey sausage, ham, Canadian bacon, etc. sargento has good 40 calorie cheese. the items you add will change the calories. the english muffins i have are 80 calories. starting with egg whites and the 40 calorie cheese is a good start. i will make a bunch and freeze them. take out one at a time. wrap in a paper towel and microwave for 1 minute. you could be fancier and add spinach and tomatoes to the egg?

i usually do this and a banana. if i have time, then the sandwich and a yogurt. very good kick start of the day.

I am becoming a fan of oats and you may find GF. For me I add protein powder (in moderation) for an added boost. It adds calories along with more protein and you can use chocolate or vanilla powders. For me, it keeps me full for hours.
