    Usually either Weetabix with almond milk, banana and seeds; or wholemeal toast with peanut butter and seeds.

    Tomorrow morning, I'm going to make a banana and raspberry smoothie; for Friday, I want to find a recipe for vegan protein pancakes, and Saturday is lazy full breakfast - Linda McCartney sausages, grilled tomatoes, flat mushrooms, spinach and toast, with lots of tea/coffee. :)

    I know it is really none of my business but some of you are depressing me with your tiny breakfasts. What ever makes you happy but I would be a very sad and depressed person if I had to eat some of the breakfasts you all eat. Even on days that I have eaten only 1200 or so calories, my breakfast was still around 500 calories. If I have a really hard workout that AM I have had up to 800 calories for breakfast.

    At the moment it's just corn flakes with semi-skimmed milk. Sometimes add half a peach.
    In general it varies from the above, Weetabix with blueberries w/S-s milk, Alpen Original (No added sugar) with milk or 2 soft boiled eggs with 2 slices of white bread.
    I'm not that adventurous.

    the three pancakes i ate this morning were delicious and came in at around 480 calories (for all three). can't wait to have them tomorrow.

    Q - Why are people not using the whole egg? Or even mixing a whole egg with whites? The yolks are so incredibly good for you!


    Egg yolks are high in calories and cholesterol. For people watching these, egg whites are the way to go. I balance it out by eating 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg. Best of both worlds.

    This. I like the idea of adding 1 whole egg with egg whites (I really don't care for just egg whites).

    I'm getting TONS of ideas...THANKS EVERYONE!!

    Mix one whole egg with half a cup of oats and water. Add half a banana sliced. Nuke in the microwave for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Stir and smoosh in the now nuked banana. Enjoy!

    This breakfast keeps me full for 4-6 hours, which is unusual for me.

    Sounds great! How much water?

    Today I had Skippy Natural peanut butter mixed into Oikos nonfat vanilla greek yogurt, a banana, and a Chocolate Fudge protein shake. 422 yummy calories!

    Yesterday PB&J for 305 cals.

    I just eyeball the amount of water. It is a trial and error kind of thing :)

    That sounds lovely! I have strawberries and blueberries on Alpen no sugar added muesli with Alpro milk, and a sprinkling of granola and mixed seeds - with a dribble of half fat evaporated milk for sheer naughtiness!

    My healthy breakfast is closer to lunchtime. I usually have 4 eggs and ounce of cheese with some salsa and jalapenos. Finish it off with a side of bacon. Scramble is roughly 400 calories and the total depends how many slices of bacon I eat. Sometimes I'll have an iced coffee with heavy cream earlier in the day.

    Lately I've been doing yogurt plus a fiber one bar for most breakfasts.

    Sometimes I'll do some oatmeal, or add fruit.

    I really think I would be better off adding more breakfast calories though.

    Plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup dry oatmeal, 1/2 cup blueberries, drizzle of honey, coffee with half and half (my vice! I swear I'd give up most everything before the cream in my coffee!)

    coffee with half and half (my vice! I swear I'd give up most everything before the cream in my coffee!)

    I found it to be pretty easy to cut out the creamer, but I still add a few packs of sweetener. It's a bit of an acquired taste, but didn't take long to adjust at all.

    Weekdays - porridge (oatmeal) made with water, with a handful of raisins, a spoon of greek yoghurt and a drizzle of honey mixed in. Sometimes I'll use jam instead of honey (because it turns the porridge pink and that makes me happier than it should do at 25 yrs old. Blueberry jam is the best! - purple porridge :happy: ) Usually works out around 350 calories.

    At weekends, I'll have two poached eggs on either a toasted English muffin or a couple of slices of toast. Again, works out at around 350-400 calories. (In fact, I'd have this every day if I could be bothered to get up 15 minutes earlier to cook it, but hey, I'm not a morning person..).

    So glad to have found this cause breakfast is the hardest for me. I can't / don't eat eggs, literally makes me sick. I am trying to learn to like oatmeal, not having a lot of luck but starting to be able to eat a few bites, so I usually just eat a bagel with laughing cow cream cheese, or fiber one bar and /or apple.

    Hope everyone is having a great day!

    I've read that starting your day with creamer in your coffee actually helps you to refrain from snacking. The fat in the creamer make you feel full longer.

    Starbucks Soy Latte, yup I'm one of those, but I'd rather have that then anything else for breakfast, so for me it works.

    PLUS it actually doesn't have to bad of macros

    150 cals
    5g fat
    10g carbs (8g sugar)
    10g protein
    and 40% of my daily calcium! (not to mention the much needed caffeine :wink: )

    If I'm crunched for time usually just a protein shake with almond milk. The last couple of days however I've been going lighter, as I'm not usually too hungry in the morning, and I'd rather save the calories for later. So Tuesday I had a slice of Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted whole grain toast with 1 tsp butter and a fried WHOLE egg, and today I had another slice of said toast, but with a tablespoon of natural peanut butter. Tomorrow however, I'm going on a decent bike ride, so I made some pumpkin spice overnight oats, that I really hope turn out.

    I also like mixing 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder into 3/4 cup Greek yogurt, tastes almost like cake batter to me. I might even try adding a few chocolate chips next time. :)
