    Those all look tasty...but don't they give you too much sugar? I'm having the HARDEST time keeping my sugar down, and I don't even eat a ton...mostly fruits and such.

    I'm with you - have to avoid sugar almost completely, so I have the same breakfast every morning - a small tin of baked beans with 40gm of salami mixed through and zapped in the microwave. Yummy and filling.

    Steel cut oats, with a scoop of whey protein sometimes.

    With a small amount of natural sweetener e.g. Honey, dates or half a mashed banana. Powdered ginger or cinnamon is also delicious.

    If its a big workout day then I will add flaked almonds or other nuts or fruit as topping.

    Best breakfast ever!

    A greek yogurt before I leave to work and Belvita Start biscuits when I get to work.
    It's great on the calorie, I like it... and it satisfies my needs. Mostly around summer I can't have a big breakfast at home (I don't have a problem with eating it) because it's very hot and a big breakfast in the rush hour, in a heated crowded subway train... well... it will get me nauseous. So I eat an yogurt at home and endure the hunger until I get to work.

    I switch and I either eat my oatmeal with Berries.
    Or I love my special K cereal with Berries and I put more raw strawberries on it with my Almond Milk

    The days that i work i make a protein smoothie. 1 Scoop of protein powder, 1 banana and 1/2c. fat free milk with as much ice as you like. The more ice, the thicker the shake (delicious).
    On the weekends or my one day a week off I usually like to have a veggie, usually asparagus or spinach mixed in one or two eggs, depending on how hungry I am, with some type of venison meat (today was 1oz. of venison loin). My husband and I also make venison breakfast sausage. Venison, eggs and asparagus are all high in protein. Keeps you full for a long time.

    I do steel cut oats... I boil them for one minute the night before, then just let them sit on the stove overnight (soaking) and cook for another 7 minutes or so in the morning.
    I then add:
    -a dash of rice milk
    -a bit of cocoa nibs
    -some blueberries
    -15g honey

    i also have a egg on toast.

    and then a cup of coffee and a shot glass of OJ.

    healthy, filling breakfast well within my cal count.

    1 Thomas Light "Triple Health" English muffin, toasted
    .46 Gm Eggs beaters (Microwaved)
    1 Morning Star Spicy Sausage patty.
    Sometimes cheese and sometimes not
    I have also used ham or turkey in place of the Morning star patty


    I wrap it up and take it to work, heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds and you have a great breakfast that sticks with you for about 200 calories!

    2. protein shake
    3. Apple cheddar melt (whole-wheat English muffin, toasted, 2 teaspoons creamy peanut butter, 4 thin apple slices, 1 slices reduced-fat Cheddar cheese)

    On Sundays if I feel like it will make : oatmeal cottage cheese pancakes, freeze them.... Easy for when you're running late.

    During the week, I have 2-3 eggs scrambled with two rashers of bacon, two tomatoes, a pepper, a chilli, a teaspoon of coconut oil and some hot sauce. Possibly strange but filling and tasty.

    I'm a big advocate of eggs! Especially because they're really versatile and you can't get bored! Heres what I have:
    Tomato and onion omlette
    Mushroom omlette
    Boiled eggs and wholemeal toast to dip
    poached egg on a crumpet
    scrambled eggs with ham and tomatos
    scarmbled eggs with low fat bacon

    I also had a phase of cottage cheese but sometimes the taste is a bit strong for an early start but I'll put it down anyway!
    Cottage cheese, ham and tomato (sometimes I had wholemeal toast with this)
    cottage cheese, grilled mushrooms and tomato

    and then also:
    grilled mushrooms, grilled tomatos and ham/bacon
    grilled mushrooms on wholemeal toast

    Hope they help!

    My new favourite breakfast because its fresh, colourful and healthy. I rotate between variations of this and a fruit salad so I don't eat the same things everyday.
    1 slice of quality whole-wheat bread
    1 egg, sunny side up
    Sauté: 3 sliced up mushrooms, chopped up red onion, clove of garlic, and toss in chopped up baby spinach and a bit of sun dried tomato pesto. Once the spinach has cooked a bit top, the toast with a couple tomato slices, the egg and then the veggie mix.
    Sounds like a lot but it only takes a few minutes for everything to cook. If I'm looking to make it more substantial then I'll add some avocado or cook 2 eggs.

    I love oatmeal as well, but sometimes I like to eat semolina porridge or rice pudding (in Germany this is just either special rice for rice pudding or sushi rice boiled in milk, no eggs, no butter, a teaspoon sugar is enough) and fruit, of course :)

    This site doesn't make the distinction, but natural sugars from fruits and veggies isn't the same as processed sugar added to something. I have a whole raw mango (peeled, seeded) for lunch most days and it KILLS my sugar totals but you can't get much better than raw fresh fruit. It's way different than if I had syrup-added canned fruit, even if te calories worked out the same.
    Don't get hung up on the sugar naturally present in fresh fruit.

If I am at home I usually have 1 egg or 2 egg whites and a piece of toast with fruit or Oatmeal with blueberries and flax and sometimes a banana half.

    Oatmeal with bacon mixed inside.

    Plain Greek yogurt+ a serving of protein powder, maybe a little milk to thin it out. Just did this with cookies and cream powder and I am stuffed. Had 42g of protein, 200 some odd calories, and best of all was really yummy.

    I have the same most days. Oatmeal made with unsweetened almond milk and a mashed banana (mashing the banana actually tastes better than slicing). Sometimes I top with sliced almonds. All washed down with a mug of hot water and fresh lemon. Keeps me going all morning.
