I like Old Fashioned Oatmeal cooked with 1/2 apple juice and 1/2 water instead of cooking it in all water. Add a dash of cinnamon and a splash of skim milk to make it a little creamier . Add a slice of whole wheat or whole grain toast with a couple sprays of zero calorie butter and it completes the meal nicely.
Also try Cream of wheat Whole grain with a dash of sugar free maple syrup. Also with the toast and butter spray previously mentioned.0 -
Smoothie with frozen fruit, banana, coconut milk, and maybe peanut butter
Steel cut oats soaked in almond milk overnight w/ frozen blueberries
Scrambled eggs w/ shredded mozzarella, spinach, and tomato mixed in
Organic cereal w/ milk
Dutch babies (google recipe, sooo good and fast, lots of protein)
Pancakes0 -
6 egg whites, ezekiel bread cinnamon raisin, and protein shake
also oatmeal with peanut butter and banana
waffles with peanut butter and banana slices and honey good stuff

chicken chorizo and egg from sprouts0 -
I scramble 2 egg whites and one whole egg, add some spinach and reduced fat feta, and maybe some tomato if I have it. plus 2 pieces of turkey bacon, and if I'm super hungry a slice of 45 calorie toast.
Or 2 slices of toast with peanut butter and honey.
Or Special K Red Berries with Skim Milk and a tablespoon of dark chocolate morsels (It's like chocolate covered strawberry cereal)
Whole grain waffles with low fat cream cheese and blueberries.
Or a smoothie with 1/2 cup skim milk, 1/2 banana, 4 frozen strawberries, 1/4 cup frozen blueberries, and 1 stevia packet.
ummmm breakfast burrito with 1 egg, 1 avocado slice, and some homemade pico on a corn tortilla.
Chopped fruit with vanilla greek yogurt for dipping

Bacon and eggs with an orange and green tea, i ate this for breakfast every morning when doing paleo and lost 20lbs0

Baked oatmeal is the best. I make mine with blueberries and banana slices in it.0

For my first breakfast I like a slice of homemade baked oatmeal (this stuff is great because you make a batch on the weekend and eat it all week - good hot or cold and easy as a to-go meal) and a bowl of greek yogurt with fruit (plus coffee, of course).
For my second breakfast I usually go for a couple of eggs (poached, scrambled with cheese, in a veggie omelette, over sauteed mushrooms and spinach...so many possibilities!), ham or bacon, and some toast or pancakes, maybe some more fruit.
I love breakfast.
(Baked oatmeal, in case you're interested: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/cmeirun/view/baked-oatmeal-or-my-quest-for-world-domination-via-baked-goods-521738)
It's true. I make mine with blueberries and bananas. The only problem is, I have trouble keeping it in the house with my husband around.
..... Slice of oatmeal? Hm.
No, seriously, it's the bomb.0 -
i do overnight oats 1/3 cup oats, 1/3 water, 1/3 greek yoghurt. Mix and leave overnight. In the morning at fruit. Turns out creamy, is filling and delicious0
-
2 egg Omelette; vary the fillings, mushrooms are my favourite, sometimes do peppers & onion, delicious!!0
-
I struggle eating enough proteins so my breakfast should contain at least one protein source.
- omellete with egg whites and vollkorn bread
- oatflakes with skim milk
- hard boiled egg and bread
- yoghurt with dried fruits and nuts
- green tea
- fruit (orange, apple)
- whey proteins if im really short on time
Even eating breakfast is huge improvement from past when i was lazy and skipped meals.0 -
I use Fiber One pancake mix and make waffles0

Sara Lee - Frozen Raspberries, 20 g
Uncle Toby's (Australia) - Traditional Oats, 40 g (not the quick kind)
Protein Powder Choc, 30 g
Put the oats in a microwave safe container, add 1 cup of cold water. Microwave on high for 2 mins. Take out, add the protein powder and microwave for 30 seconds more. Then add the frozen berries and stir. Yummmy!0 -
mmmmm, I love overnight oats!0

Lot's of great stuff! Thanks everyone.
Some highlights look like the baked oatmeal and special k (I've been staying away from those due to carbs but some won't hurt, huh?), chicken chorizo (great add for my love of spicy food and eating only leaner meats), and smoothies (with and without yogurt), and adding new things to my standard 2 egg breakfasts.
Thanks again. Also looking for some feedback on my food diary if folks are willing!0 -
1/2 cup Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Crumbles, 3/4 cup Eggbeaters. Dump in the skillet, stir, eat. 4 g fat, 3 g carbs, 26g protein and 145 calories. Not whole fresh food but its very quick and fills me up.0

Kashi Go Lean has a new instant oatmeal out. I LOVE my Kashi Go Lean cold cereal!!! They have 2 flavors: Truly Vanilla and Honey & Cinnamon. They have 150 calories & 8 grams protein. Add some milk, extra protein powder & fruit and you'll have a truly delicious, nutritious & high protein breakfast!
I've gotten tired of the same old, same old for breakfast, so I've gone to making "an omelette in a mug." My favorite is a Denver omelette. It has 155 calories & 23 grams of protein. I often make a 1-1/2 times recipe & it keeps me full for a good 3-4 hours.
Peppers - Sweet, green, raw, 2 tbsp
Onion - Red or Yellow Onion, Raw , 1 tbsp
Tomato - Grape 3, 6 tomatoes (2 oz)
Diced Mushrooms
Eggbeaters (Low Gi Index) - Egg Beaters, 0.5 cup
Cumberland Gap - Lean Diced Ham, 1 oz (56g)
Kraft Natural Shredded Cheese - Sharp Cheddar 2% Milk, 2 tbsp
Spray a large mug with Pam, then add veggies & microwave on high for 1-1/2 minutes. Add Egg Beaters & stir, microwave for 1 minute. Add ham & cheese, stir, then microwave an additional 30 seconds. It's quick & delicious. I cheat & buy the already cut-up fresh veggies from the produce section of the grocery store. If you google "Hungry Girl Egg Mug," you'll find several entries to her site for other egg mug recipes. She has 12-15 different recipes (Mexican, French, etc.) depending on what you like. I start with a basic & add all my favorite ingredients. You can put "your" recipe in the recipe app on here or save under the "quick tools," which make it easy to add the whole breakfast with a simple click. Nothing could be easier, when you're rushing out the door for work!
By the way, Bed, Bath & Beyond has a line of microwave containers, which are fantastic! The brand is Sistema. They make both a cup & a bowl that works perfectly for this recipe. What I like about that brand is they are heavy grade plastic & have vented lids. The lids also lock into place, which makes them convenient to store & carry foods to work. They also make 2 different sizes of steamer baskets for fresh veggies. Convenient & VERY user friendly for microwaving food without having to clean-up a splattered mess in the microwave. Anyone who has a Meijer store around, they also carry the Sistema brand.0 -
