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

(Thought I would also mention that I will would love some adds)
especially if you are under 30 preferably and are looking to lose weight and tone! I am 173cm (5ft 9), and weight 60kg (132 lbs).

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

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

    MMhh I am making a habit of eating a cup of yogurt mixed with raw oats (excellent for your health), chocolate amaranth (delicious and lots of protein!) and a chopped banana. (you may add honey if you are looking for a higher calorie version)
    Fast, delicious and super energetic.

    I usually have a banana with 100% peanut or almond butter. Its soooo good. Followed by a handful of nuts :D 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! :D

    Try overnight oats, they're sooo yummy, filling and super healthy! You can try any combinations, I started off by using this recipe (altered it a bit to my liking) http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/06/skinny-overnight-oats-in-jar.html or search skinny overnight oats on google or even just overnight oats, both amazingly healthy! Well done ans good luck, hope this helps x

    Thanks guys, I would also like to mention that I am gluten free!
    I do eat gf oats sometimes for a treat but I don't think steel oats are gf.

    And for the cottage cheese, does it really have a lot of protein?
    I never knew that! How would you recommend eating it? Can it be eaten with fruit or toast?

    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 :)

    I LOVE oat meal!

    All you need is 1 dl (about 40 grams) of oats and 2-2.5 dl of water. Mix it in a bowl and put it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Leave for another minute before you add fruit, nuts, peanut butter, protein powder, honey etc. You can pretty much add whatever you want :-)

    This morning I had a big portion with almonds, 1 sliced banana and a tablespoon of organic whey protein powder, and it was around 350 kcal. I have oat meal almost every morning so feel free to add me if you want to see more examples of what I add!

    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.

    A whole egg, with a few egg whites plus lots of veggies made into an omelette. Use 1 calorie oil spray and you could get it done for less than 200 calories. Lots of protein to carry you through the morning and no gluten!

    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.

    Oops, also just realised you are gluten free - guess toast, muesli and oats are all out for you then.

    Smoothies? Cottage cheese really does have alot of protein. I found a recipe for 'Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie' - around 180 - 230 cals (depending on how much cottage cheese you use) and 18 - 20g protein.
