    I eat eggs - the perfect protein.

    And when I'm tired of eggs, I have fried eggs.

    When i can't stand anymore eggs, I have someone else cook the eggs because they always taste a little different.

    My cholesterol is in the normal range and better than it's ever been. :)

    Simple fridge oats. No cooking. Toss in a small ball jar or lidded container the night before. Get out in the morning and grab a spoon.

    1/2 c. old fashioned rolled oats
    1/2 c. almond milk (or dairy, soy, water, whatever you prefer)
    additions of choice
    pinch or two of cinnamon and a small handful of raisins, or
    pinch or two of cocoa and half a ripe banana chopped up, or
    fresh raspberries or strawberries, or
    walnuts and maple syrup... whatever...

    Easy to add in crushed flax seed or chia seeds for omega3's without changing the taste.

    Kashi Berry Blossoms or Kashi Blackberry Hills or Life Cinnamon or Peanut Butter Toast Crunch or Malt0-O-Meal (rarely) with Almond Milk. I'm broke and stuck with 2% til friday, but that's my usual.

    I'm cutting the last two out and searching for comparable organics. I'm not letting Monsanto (who is now putting HUMAN DNA in rice In The Open Fields of Kentucky!!!) and their Frankenstein food into my system if i can help it.

    My new "usual" (for about a month now) is Greek yogurt, granola, and fruit, plus OJ and/or milk. Not every day though; I switch it up with other types of cereal, a Toaster Streudel, or fruit smoothie. But I have the yogurt/granola/fruit about 4 times a week. I love it!

    I generally eat a 1oz package of salted peanuts and a banana. Sometimes a low fat English muffin with light butter and some fruit.

    Most mornings I have a shake with Vega French Vanilla Nutritional shake mix (1 scoop), 1 cup of frozen fruit (usually wild bluberries because I LOVE them), and 1 cup of unsweetened almond or coconut milk. I usually take this with me in the car on my way to work, which is around 7am or so. Once I'm at work, I normally start feeling hungry again at around 10:30 or 11 so I'll have an apple with a tablespoon of peanut butter, and then lunch at around 1:30. I find the combination of a smoothie and fruit/protein really works well for me - the smoothie gets me going and makes me feel energized, however it's not super filling - that's where the apple & peanut butter comes into play.

    I am following a low carb regime so:

    During the work week Atkins Breakfast Bars (2)
    Weekends - Two to Three Eggs, with Ham or Sausage, sometime with pepper strips, sometimes in low carb wraps.
    Or Bobs Red Mill High Fiber Cereal, and/or Oatmeal, with added Flax or Chia seeds.

    Seems to work well for me. :happy:

    I usually only drink a cup of organic coffee and nothing else. I KNOW this cannot be helping my weightless progress. I want to start eating breakfast!
    I would love some wholesome and tasty ideas(:

    Why would eating more help your weight loss? Are you currently eating too little? Do you tend to pig out at lunch because you skip breakfast?

    The possibilities for a tasty nutritious breakfast are endless - toast w/ peanut butter, veggie omelette, any high fiber low sugar cereal, leftovers from your healthy dinner, oats, barley or other porridge, whole grain pancakes or waffles w/ fruit and/or peanut butter and/or a little maple syrup, breakfast burrito, ...

    I have about four "go-to" breakfasts right now that I cycle through:

    1.) Smoothie. Right now that usually means: banana; peanut butter; plain yogurt; handful of spinach; ground flaw seed; wheat germ; splash of milk.

    2.) Homemade frozen breakfast burritos - egg; black beans; salsa; cheddar; flour tortilla.

    3.) Hardboiled egg or scrambled egg with slice of whole wheat toast and avocado drizzled with lemon juice and sprinkled with salt OR with a (homemade) Banana-Bran Muffin.

    4.) Steel-cut oats made with toasted oats, milk, and chopped dates. (When it's colder out.)

    Always with a cup of tea.

    I try to have oatmeal a few times a week with a yogurt tossed in for flavor and it's surprisingly good :) Otherwise, I usually have a slice of homemade white toast with peanut butter and a banana.... Cut totally down on coffee and switched to green tea :)

    http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/mini_mushroom_sausage_quiches.html

    these are amazingly easy to make ahead, and are a great way to get in low fat protein. You can keep the egg/milk mixture and add WHATEVER YOU WANT to make it interesting.

    This morning I made a sandwich with one quiche, english muffin, and a slice of cheese and bacon. Much better than McD's!

    For me, multigrain cheerios are best! When I started my "journey" almost 2 months ago I ate fruit and yogurt every morning for almost 3 weeks and stayed under 1600 calories every day. Did not lose an ounce!! Then I thought about the last time I lost weight and realized that I was eating 2 cups of multigrain cheerios with skim milk every morning then. Went back to that, and BAM, weight loss. Maybe the grains are what does it? I don't know. I just know it works for me :)

    12 oz of a protein shake containing: low cal juice, almond milk, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, peaches or pinapple (strained), whey protein powder, greek yogurt and spinach.

    In the master batch, I put 8 oz of each (spinach 4 - 8) into the blender and mix. In the morning, I will give it a quick blend and pour. It will usually supply me with about 4 days of breakfast w/o much thinking.

    "Usually" it carries me to my late morning snack.

    2 pieces of turkey bacon + 2 eggs/2 egg whites scrambled together + 1 cup unsweetened almond milk = a great tasting, protein packed breakfast that keeps me full for hours...for under 300 calories.
