Breakfast Suggestions

You guys are making me hungry lol

I am not a big breakfast eater and struggled with finding stuff to eat and stuff I actually want to cook. So I started nutrient extracting....I bought a nutribullet and mix 2 cups of green leafy veggies, up to 2 cups of any fruit, top it off with a booster (chia seeds, flax seeds, raw nuts) and blend!!!!! It's pretty fulfilling and under 300 calories....plus I at least get my servings of fruit out the way for the day

Lots of good ideas! Bumping for later!:bigsmile:

I normally rotate through 3 breakfast choices.

1. English Muffin, Peanut butter and apple slices
2. Two whole wheat pancakes with jelly and 3 slices of turkey bacon or 2 links of turkey sausage
3. A breakfast burrito with a small tortilla, 1 egg, 2 diced pieces of bacon, diced peppers, onions and mushrooms.

All of them are between 300-400 calories and can easily be made at work. I make the pancakes on the weekend and freeze them in packs of two and then just pop them in the toaster.

oatmeal

Yogurt

A lot of great suggestions!

If you need something ready to go in the morning, you can make a big batch of oatmeal (with whatever toppings, raisins, nuts, etc you like) ahead of time, then portion it out to heat up the morning.

You can also make the "egg cups"... mix your eggs, pour in muffin pans, add toppings (don't overfill!), then bake ahead for mini omelet servings. Put 2-3 in baggies for individual portions.

that was a great idea

My new must have breakfast, 2 minute french toast in a mug. 1-2 slices of bread (I'm using Ezekial 4:9 cinn raisin), an egg, oz or so of milk, sprinkle of cinnamon. Cut bread add to rest of ingredients in the mug, nuke min a two. Add drop of vanilla extract etc before nuking if you wish. I've been using Walden farms pancake syrup. Fast & hardly much of a clean up.

Since joining mfp, ive started eating 6 smaller portioned meals. More energy in the day and feel great.

I skip breakfast

I have the same breakfast everyday. Coffee and maybe some homemade yogurt before working out, bagel with cream cheese and lox after. Sometimes fruit too. I usually eat about 1/3 -1/2 of my calories in the morning. The whole eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper thing works is really great for me. That way I have lots of energy at the times I need it. I'm going to try homemade bagels after I run out of the package I have. That way I can make them thinner and healthier.

I never get tired of scrambled eggs, with milk, or cheese, or bread.

i was never really a breakfast person, but now that i'm working out (and actually hungry now, as opposed to just stuffing my face all day long because of boredom or stress or whatever), i've been doing the breakfast thing. my favorite right now is...

eggy oatmeal.

1/4 cup rolled oats
1 tbsp milk (i use vanilla almond milk)
1 egg
brown sugar to taste (or agave nectar sometimes too!)
blueberries

i stir the first four ingredients together in a big coffee mug up real nice, then toss in a small handful of blueberries.
pop in the microwave for about... 1:15 seconds.

yum.

I like to mix it up for b'fast too.

Day 1
1 cup plain non-fat greek yogurt
1/4 cup blueberries
1/2 cup strawberries (or sometimes a sliced nectarine)
2 TBS chopped walnuts
1 TBS ground flax seed
1 TBS honey

Day 2
1 scrambled egg (w/tsp olive oil)
1/2 cup egg white
Diced cherry tomatoes
1 cup spinach
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup low-fat feta crumbles

Day 3
1/2 cup quaker oats
1/4 cup blueberries
1/2 sliced banana
2 TBS chopped walnuts
1 TBS honey

Day 4 (on the go sandwich)
2 hard boiled eggs
2 slices double fiber bread
1 tsp low-fat mayo
pinch of salt/pepper
1 cup strawberries, or a plum, or a nectarine

Try a sort of egg mc-muffin. 1 English muffin toasted with a little butter, 1 fried egg (yolk broke, done light -do not over cook), 4 slices of thin ham (I use Land of Frost - honey ham). Comes to ~ 330 calories
