    I eat an ounce of spelt flakes(sugar free), with a banana, and it gets me to 10. am (I eat at 5. am) and to get me to 12. am or 1 pm, I eat a whole wheat bread peanut butter sandwich (1 tbsp of peanut butter, the no added oils and sugar kind !)

    Nature's Path Organic blueberry and cinnamon cereal. It's a ridiculous amount of fiber. Since I am lactose intolerant, I have it with almond milk.

    Same thing everyday:

    1 Cup Fat-Free Milk
    1 Scoop "Optimum Nutrion" Whey
    1 Cup Blueberries
    1/2 Cup Old Fashioned Oatmeal
    1 Brazil Nut

    463 Calories
    6g Fat
    57g Carbs
    8g Fiber
    23g "Sugar"
    42g Protein

    *"Sugar" is okay if it is not added sugar like in candy n such. When it is consumed as a whole fruit (Blueberries) or in fat-free milk I've never had a problem. Added sugars like in candy rarely come with the fiber and protein that the above has...read the labels...

    Oatmeal with a little plain yogurt or cottage cheese and 1/2 bannana. smoked salmon on toast or 1/2 bagel is a favorite too.

    I was having the same problem so my trainer recommended that I order Dymatize Elite Whey Protein from Amazon. I have one scoop of Dymatize (chocolate fudge flavored) with 8 oz of Vanilla sugar fee Almond milk. I put it in my shaker cup with tiny ice cubes. It's thick, delicious has no sugars, and holds me over till lunch time! I HIGHLY recommend!!!
    Good luck to you!!!:happy:

    I drink a green smoothie every morning (2.5 cups kale, 1 cucumber, a handful of cilantro, the juice of half a lime, 1 TBP ground flax seed, 1 TBP chia seed, half a banana, and one cup frozen mixed organic berries...throw it all into my vitamix). It's about 270 calories, but packs a lot of vitamins and minerals (almost all, if not all, of my daily requirements for most vitamins/minerals). I then eat a 100-cal snack (usually some cooked quinoa) as a mid-morning snack.

    I've noticed huge improvements in my skin quality since I started drinking these on a daily basis. I've gotten compliments on my skin actually.

    I have an egg white omelet most mornings, they cook so quickly if you can do some light preparation earlier in the week. I heat up a nonstick pan, add egg whites and a piece of chopped Jennie O turkey bacon I make at the beginning of the week. (I just throw half a package on a sheet pan lined with foil and a rack, and bake it for about 12 minutes, then let it cool, wrap it up, and put it in the fridge.) I scramble the eggs and bacon, and when it's just about done, I add a bunch of diced tomatoes or peppers (you can find them diced already in your grocers freezer), and lots of baby spinach. Sometimes I might add a tablespoon of lowfat mozzarella, and sprinkle with cracked pepper. It's delicious, nutritious, practically no sugar.

    My other go-to is nonfat, plain Greek yogurt that you can add any number of things to, unsweetened toasted coconut, nuts, honey, fruit, etc, and I also like to keep vitatops in the freezer if I'm running late. They're usually thawed by the time I get to the office!

    Good luck. Hope this helps you.

    A Protein Shake most mornings (I am too busy for anything else during the week). Weekends (1) It is a piece of whole grain toast, a slice of turkey, or turkey bacon, two poached eggs, two tomato slices. (2) A bowl of steel cut oats (1/2 cup cooked) small banana, tbsp. raw sunflower seeds, 1 tsp. agave nectar. (3) BLT w/ turkey bacon, romaine lettuce, tomato, and veganaise (by Follow Your Heart, it is full of healthy fats). (4) two small whole grain pancakes, 5 strawberries or 1/2 cup blueberries, a piece of turkey sausage. (5) Low-fat Cottage cheese, pineapple slices, piece of whole grain toast. (6) Poached egg(you do not want egg do this with black beans), sauteed mushrooms,peppers, and onions, one piece of low-moisture string cheese (pulled apart), and a whole grain tortilla wrap (Mission makes a good one)

    I do not worry too much about my natural sugars that I take in esp. if it is from a whole fruit. remember fruit is a perfect portion control that includes the fiber you need to ensure a slow release of sugars to not spike your insulin levels. (Eat the whole fruit, not just the juice!) The sugars you should worry about. Refined sugars, or sugars that are stripped of their natural packaging (i.e. corn syrup, sugar in the raw (although this is better than granulated white sugar), and for me personally artificial sweeteners)

    Maybe this is a better way to put it. I strive for 15 - 20 grams of protein, and 20- 30 grams of carbohydrates (healthy ones) to start my day.

    Lately it has been an apple with peanut butter and a cheese string.. but not cheese string or peanut butter...
    I'm a little heart broken...
    So today was carrot with ranch dip. Nothing exciting I know.

    I have eggs every morning. Love eggs!

    I no longer eat grains or processed foods so no cereals, etc. for me. When I still ate grains my favorite breakfast was steel cut oats with a scoop of protein powder added. A special treat was adding chocolate protein powder & a few drops of peppermint extract or coconut extract. I'd sometimes add a tablespoon of virgin coconut oil. Never added milk.

    Some of my breakfast staples

    multigrain english muffin with egg whites, 1 slice of low fat cheese and 2 slices of turkey bacon.

    Cereal - Cheerios any of the flavors are good

    Oatmeal- Plain or flavored

    2 Multigrain Eggo Waffles with a little peanut butter and a tsp of low fat syrup.

    These are all good choices and they hold me over until lunch, sometimes I have a piece of fruit also, if not I take my piece of fruit to work and have it later if I start to get hungry before lunch.

    Hope this helps!

    This is my base breakfast, recommended by my cardiologist

    Quaker Oats - Old Fashioned 100% Whole Grain. 0.5 cup dry cooked with 1 cup water
    Blueberries - Raw, 0.5 cup
    Kirkland Signature - Almonds - Supreme Whole 28g
    Total 361 calories, 9g sugar
    Add 1 cup of coffee with 1Tbsp sugar free creamer adds 17 calories and 0 sugar
    I drink a pint of water before and after breakfast

    If I cannot find fresh blueberries, I sustitute a 6" to 7" banana which does have more sugar or a small apple cored and diced and mixed into the oatmeal then nuke 1 minute more, sprinkle cinnamon and "Equal Classic" on top,and let it rest a couple of minutes. It isn't quite good as apple pie but smells like it.

    I usually just swallow my shame, and call myself a cab in the morning.

    I left you money on the dresser.

    Flax seed muffin in a mug: 1 egg, 1/4 C ground flax seed, 1/2 t baking powder, 1 t cinnamon and a squirt of honey. Mix all in a mug and stick in microwave for 45 sec and check to see if done. I spray the mug with cooking spray lightly first.
    I also make old fashion oats and add a cut up apple, sprinkle cinnamon and add a dash of honey. Sometimes Ezekiel raisin bread and Chobani yogurt, banana, protein shake just to name a few different things.
