    I try to keep breakfast under 200 calories. I usually choose from on of the following depending on how much time I have in the morning: Fiber One bars, Instant Oatmeal, Instant Grits, Egg Beaters, Vita Tops or Sliced Ham

    I think it's best to keep breakfast small, because you never know what the rest of the day has in store for you as far as what you'll be eating.

    I use to NEVER eat breakfast, but learned quickly that I couldn't lose weight unless I did eat breakfast, even if it is something small.

    Good Luck!!!!

    I try to switch my breakfasts up, but I tend to go back and forth between a two egg omelette with spinach, onion, tomato, bell pepper and light swiss cheese, or 2 slices of turkey bacon with some fruit (I recently added a Dr. Praeger's spinach pancake to that breakfast), or steel cut oatmeal with fruit.

    99% of the time I eat one server (half cut) of oat meal and two table spoons of ground flax seed (ground in a coffee grinder)... today I cheated a bit as there were muffins in the house... grilled one up without butter... but thats a treat for me... not a regular thing...

    I have to eat breakfast. This morning is a Glucerna Hunger Smart shake and a Dannon Light and Fit Greek 2x protein yogurt. I really like these Glucerna Hunger Smart shakes. It says they are for people with diabetes and I don't have diabetes but they are good :smile:

    Im no expert, but i believe breakfast is important. Make sure u drink some water before you eat, jump starts the metab....i like egg beater omelettes with fat free cheese, onions and 1.5oz ham for around 170 cal. Add a couple pieces of 80cal wheat bread, or 100g of low GI fruit like strawberrys for around 35 cal....dont like most box cereal cuz its processed with added sugar. They also have 50 cal wheat tortillias you can make breakfast burittos with...

    Either a whole wheat English muffin with peanut butter and chocolate chips, or an apple with peanut butter. Occasionally if I don't feel like eating I will have a Larabar (apple pie flavor) because they are AWESOME. I feel better when I have breakfast.. and I MUST have protein or I will typically overdo it on the carbs later in the day.

    I discovered my new favorite breakfast this morning. Thomas multi grain English muffin toasted with reduced fat crunchy peanut butter, topped with sliced bananas and drizzled with honey. Yum!

    Yes for this! You just gave me my newest breakfast option! :flowerforyou:

    My go-to's are greek yogurt, toast with peanut butter and oatmeal (the "Better Oats" kind with flax seed).

    If I have time (on weekends) I do toast and eggs a lot...poached (runny yolks) with toast to dip. Nom Nom

    Cold pizza and warm beer.

    I will sometime reheat a slice of pizza in a non-stick pan and then cook a sunny side up egg on top of it. Probably why I like bacon on my pizza, for the breakfast leftovers.

    But beer for breakfast? Better be a guiness :drinker:

    I struggle in the area of breakfast. I can easily skip it without noticing, but if I do eat it I gravitate towards fatty, high carb, or sugary foods. I have been eating oatmeal for the past few days, but its going to get boring and then I will end up making some bad choices. I need to find a go-to breakfast that is going to keep me full, without filling me full of sugar and such, and that it...interesting and appealing :) Please help me out.

    If you gravitate towards high carb and sugary foods for breakfast, try this. I make these once a week, and freeze them. I grab and go, pop one in the microwave for about 30 seconds (until it's warm enough) and drizzle with about 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup. They are baked oatmeal, in individual muffin cups. I use the large cups, the tin with only six muffin cups. If you use the smaller, standard size, just eat two.

    Mash 2 small bananas in a large bowl. add 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup (or honey, or agave nectar). Add 2 1/2 cups of old fashioned, rolled oats & 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed, and mix well. Add 1 1/2 cup milk of your choice (skim, almond - I use almond milk).

    Spray your muffin tins with non-stick spray. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin tins. Bake at 350 until they are firm. With the almond milk and maple syrup, they are 230 calories for one large one or two small ones. Be sure to add the extra calories if you drizzle with any additional syrup or honey.

    This is very satisfying. You can top them with stuff, if you like, such as nuts, raisins, fruit, etc before you bake them.

    I hope this helps.

    I usually make myself a breakfast shake or if I am sick of those, I will have a piece of toast with an egg, cheese, and bacon or ham on top.

    Sometimes I will also have a serving of breakfast cereal and use protein powder / peanut butter in my milk. Pretty high in sugar but one of my favs is a serving of cocoa pebbles, and then I take 4 oz of almond milk, scoop of chocolate protein powder, 1 tbs of peanut butter or 1 tbs of pb2 (depending on what I have planned for the rest of the day fat/calorie wise) and put that over the cocoa pebbles. It is like dessert for breakfast :)

    This sounds really good. Do you cook the oats first? Would quick cooking oats work? It sounds like a healthy oatmeal cookie.

    2 turkey sausage links with 2 or 3 fruits combined for a different fruit salad every day. I drink 2 cups of water before I get to work as well. :heart: 200 - 260 calories a day:heart:

    Examples:
    Strawberries & pineapple
    (my fav) grapefruit, pears, and strawberries for color
    Blueberries, raspberries, & pineapple

    If you are on the go you can eat the sausage links in the car. (Like I do most of the time) and then when I get to the office I eat my fruit salad. I have just started trying to eat healthier so I am really not a pro, but it has been working for me.

    I used to eat a sausage McMuffin, small coffee, and a strawberry cream pie every morning from McDonalds. :mad: 850 calories a day.:mad:

    I'm not big on breakfast myself, so I usually have something small, like a piece of fruit, or toast with cream cheese or peanut butter. Today it's blueberry Greek yogurt with chia seeds. :)

    Steel-cut oats baby!! Or muesli. Add in a tbsp of coconut oil, a scoop of chocolate protein powder, and some berries (I use raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries). You're good to go :smile: :smile:

    I have to go easy on the sugar because I realize I get sleepy and same with carbs. every workday i have 40g of hot oatmeal with some cinammon, truvia and chia seeds with coffee. I eat a cereal bar about an hour or two later.

    on weekends i go "all crazy" and have 6 tbs egg white with mushroom, spinach with one wedge of laughing cow cheese and 3 slices turkey bacon to go with my chai tea.

    I sometimes eat the Jimmy Dean Delights sandwhiches which are usually 210 to 250 cals and they are yummy. I try to spread out my calories though..

    3 Large Egg whites, 1 Large Egg w/ yolk, omlete with onions, green pepper and some salt. That between two slices of bread (wheat) and a slice of cheese with Salsa. All together it ends up being around 400 calories but it keeps me going during my morning workout and usually don't feel hungry until 11ish.

    Also drink about a 20oz. bottle from morning 6AM to about 7:30 before I leave for gym.

    typically I eat microwaved quaker old fashioned oats with a tablespoon of walnuts and half teaspoon of honey at the office. to change it up, I sometimes substitute the honey for 1/2 a banana. if I get up early, I cook a couple of scrambled eggs before work and they keep me full until lunch.

    I've started eating cold oatmeal in a jar. It's great because it's ready to go when I leave for work, and I can add some fruit & nuts or whatever to it in the morning, right before eating it, and it's 9 grams of fiber (thanks to the addition of some chia seeds).

    When I want something hot, I make something with egg whites and veggies. Check out Skinnytaste.com. She has tons of healthy versions of the bad for you breakfasts.

    Yeah, these are really good, and not too sweet. If you like them sweeter, you can drizzle a little more honey or maple syrup on them. I don't cook the oats first. Not sure how it would come out with quick oats. I never use them. It's worth a try though. I would imagine the texture would be a little different, that's all.

    I got really tired of breakfast food, so I usually eat leftovers for breakfast (when I eat breakfast.)

    Today, I had leftover steak for breakfast, and it was yummy!
