Breakfast Suggestions

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

If you have a Trader Joes or Whole Foods by you, I recommend trying their frozen steel cut oats at TJ's or the frozen Ancient Grains & Oats at Whole Foods. There are two servings that you can microwave for a couple of minutes and it gives you the idea of what they should taste like.
I now make a pot of steel cut oats on the weekends and soaking the oats overnight can help. I then measure out my servings for the week in Tupperware. During winter months I will make a months worth and freeze some portions in ziplock bags.
I also like to poach or hard boil a weeks worth of eggs and store them in tupperware or ziploc bags. I can add thick Trader Joes Celebrity Healthy Black Forest Ham or Canadian bacon with English muffins and add sliced tomato and onion for breakfast sandwiches.
Other days, if I have the time to cook breakfast I like to load up on breakfast burritos.

This is interesting to me as I am currently eating 438 Caleries for breakfast which to me seems high??

I have a small portion of Strawberry Easiyo yogurt and a handful of berry granola, to me I thought this seemed like a healthy breakfast until I entered it in MFP!!!

I have to be honest I haven't counted caleries or fats before, the last diet I did was slimming world which was points based... I would like to add that I am not dieting now, just trying to eat more heathily!! Hence my shock at the caleries of my "healthy" breakfast!!!

low fat cottage cheese with fresh fruit mixed in
