healthy breakfast ideas

Egg white omelet. Quick to make, takes me on average 10 minutes from prepare to cleaning dishes. I eat if I can otherwise wrap it up in two slices of toast and eat on go or after gym.

Other options are hard boiled eggs, cook them while you go do other stuff, after done consume at max 1-2 yolks to stay well in macro range. Top with salsa, cheese, pepper, whatever you want. I try mine with medium salsa and some black pepper, tastes so good.

Oatmeal is also another option, have a stash at work anytime I feel hungry.

You can save a lot of money and calories by eating at home, or preparing meals to take on the go. I love oatmeal with peanut butter and a sliced banana. You can also do a pb&j version by adding a all-fruit jam into the mix. For an easy breakfast to take on the go try overnight oats- combine 1/2 each of greek yogurt, old fashioned oats, and skim milk; mix and seal in a container and refrigerate overnight; in the morning stir in some peanut butter and fresh fruit. My biggest tip is to ALWAYS incorporate some sort of protein. It will definitely hold you over. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day! Good luck :bigsmile:

I had this problem when I started too. If you like the 'heartier' items that you can get at fast food restaurants, I'd recommend making your own at home with healthier ingredients! Two of my favorites are breakfast bagels and breakfast burritos. I make them with a whole wheat bagel or tortilla, then fill it with scrambled egg whites (I buy a carton of liquid egg whites at the grocery store so I don't waste a part of an egg), add a little bit of reduced fat shredded Mexican cheese, salsa, green onion and 50% less fat turkey bacon! It is DELICIOUS, filling, fast and only around 250-300 calories. I also like Greek yogurt with granola or oatmeal with sliced bananas. I hope this helps!

I need something portable to eat in my car on my way to work. Those extra 10 mins of sleep are important!

- peeled banana wrapped in a paper towel
and
- emerald nuts breakfast on-to-go - several different flavors
- protein bar that's about 200 cals and 8-10 gm of protein

- peanut butter and banana sandwich
- panera grilled banan sandwich https://mypanera.panerabread.com/recipes/recipe/grilled-banana-sandwiches/
- do a search on MFP for Zuchini tots
- also search on MFP for mini-breakfast quiche

Well, first of all, ignore everyone saying not to eat/limit eating egg yolks. The yolks are where all the good, nutritious stuff is, since it's what the baby bird would eat had the egg been fertilized. The fat and cholesterol aren't going to hurt you. Some studies suggest the fat in eggs may even be good for you, much like the fat in avocado is.

Eggs in any form are always a great option. My boyfriend loves scrambles with some turkey bacon, mushrooms, and sometimes some potatoes and cheese. Oatmeal is also awesome. Cereal is okay, as long as it's not super sugary. I like bran flakes with some fruit, maybe a little sugar, and almond milk. I usually have some turkey bacon with my cereal.

Beyond that, you can always premade breakfast burritos, breakfast egg muffins, etc and keep them in the freeze to heat and go in the morning. The internet has tons of recipes for that.

Here's a few:

Scrambled egg wrap with avacado, tomato (whatever you like) - I use small 50 cal wraps

Greek Yogurt with Granola

Tera's Whey Protein Shake w/ skim milk (I like Vanilla bourbon) and maybe 5 walnuts

Whole wheat toast with almond butter

Make a batch of 'healthy muffins' and keep them in the freezer. Just pull one out and pop in it in the microwave for a quick breakfast. If you can afford the calories add some almond butter to it.

You can make your own egg mcmuffin at home much healthier with egg (egg white if you prefer), turkey or candian bacon. Tomato, avacado etc.

Hubby likes hard boiled eggs with a piece of canadain bacon and avacado. Add tomatoes if we have them on hand.

I try to get a good mix of protein, carbs and a bit of good fat and keep to 250-300 calories (including coffee).

I do hear that Mc D's Egg White delight thing is pretty good. An option in a pinch. DD also has a flatbread eggwhite that isnt horrible.

hope that helps

While there is nothing inherently WRONG with egg yolks, (I eat them all the time) they are not necessarily a good choice to be eating a lot of is someone is watching their cholesterol, or are interested in more protein with fewer calories.

So cutting/limiting egg yolks isn't always a bad thing. Personally I can't tell much of a difference between a full egg vs. egg yolk omelette, so foregoing the yolks frees up calories for more BACON.

-1 egg yolk= about 1.5 extra slices of Fletchers thick cut bacon. No brainer for me. Bye bye, yolk! :laugh:

hi there! I am looking to get on board with healthy dieting etc and in need of healthy breakfast ideas. This seems to be the meal i struggle with the most. Most of the time i go to mickey d's and dunkin doughnuts, but i'm making changes so any ideas will be helpful:)

I'm not a morning person .... I pack my breakfast the same way I pack my lunch. I look for protein and fiber.

Steel cut oats made ahead.... that way I just warm & go. Make them with milk (for protein) and some nuts (for fat) or chia seeds (for fiber) and it keeps me full.

High fiber cereal and nuts mixed with yogurt & berries. The dry ingredients go in a zip lock bag and the wet ingredients go in a large mug in the refrigerator. In the AM I can just throw this together & eat in the car

I'm not a egg fan ..... but many people will make breakfast burritos & freeze. Saute your veggies, add beaten eggs, pour in a baking dish & bake. Then you just cut into squares..... place on top of your tortilla, top with cheese, wrap up and freeze. Zap it in the microwave in the AM. A crustless quiche square would be the same idea.
