Need a better breakfast

If you add a hard boiled egg to your morning routine, that may help. The protein/fat in the egg will hold you much longer than the cereal. Also, Greek yogurt mixed with berries and some cinnamon are good and quick.

I think it's time for a snack! If you're hungry, eating every 2-3 hours is the norm. Breaky, snack, lunch, snack, dinner :-)
For breakfast I have the delicious, bodywise/ww whole wheat wrap with 1 tbsp of peanut butter and 1/4 of a sliced banana. YUM. Somedays it's the only thing that gets me out of bed ;-)

Butterball turkey bacon 2 slices, english muffin, dab of tabasco sauce. 165 calories.

That sounds delish!

Hi,

I find porridge is easily the most filling. It only takes 2-3 minutes in the microwave. Oats release energy more slowly so will keep you feeling full for longer (than things like corn flakes or bran flaked). And if you are still hungry later on - a piece of fruit or even a small amount of dried fruit or nuts is pretty good.

C

measure out porridge oats the night before (30g), in the morning pour in half a cup of milk and put it in the microwave for 2 mins. while its in there and your waiting put on your shoes or something chop half a banana and put on top or some other type of fruit... blueberries, raspberries etc (norm 30-40grams of fruit) also switch it up so you don't get bored - top with raisins or dried cranberries, walnuts or almonds, or a whole mix of everything! I eat some form of this every morning and it hardly ever comes over 300cal - i get up at 5 to be in work for 6, the key is to prepare everything the night before and to try to sit and relax for 5 mins while your eating so your body realizes what's going on - the worst thing to do is eat white concentrating on something else! also drink 2 glasses of water before you eat breakfast and have a cup of green tea or black tea along with it or while traveling to work in a traval mug - this works for me so i hope it helps you out! oh and have a piece of fruit and another 2 glasses of water as a snack somewhere around 10/10:30 and you should make it to lunch no problem!

I do 1 fried egg, 2 pieces turkey bacon, english muffin with sugar free jelly. It's about 250 calories depending on what kind of eng. muffin you get. My fav bf!!

Or sometimes I do oatmeal (the 1 minute oats in the big container-they are my favorite). This keeps me full for a while too. Hope this helps!

If you want to get really lean, then the secret is to eat every 2.5 to 3 hours! I personally couldn't imagine going 4+ hours without food...I would be ravenous. My growling stomach would annoy everyone at work!

Your body needs a constant supply of nutrition to 1) avoid going into the dreaded starvation mode 2) to keep blood sugar levels even and 3) stop yourself from being so ravenous you make unhealthy food choices.

I have my 1st breakfast at 6:45 a.m. (at home) and my 2nd breakfast at 9:45 a.m. (at work).

I have a different breakfast just about every morning: porridge, bagel with cream cheese, home made museli with natural yogurt, natural peanut butter and jam on toast (or not toasted if I'm taking it to work), sultana bran with blueberries, yogurt with grape nuts, and most mornings I have egg whites as well for extra protein....have a look at my food diary for inspiration! I prepare all my food the night before to take to work with me so I'm never without food, and I just keep eating.

I understand about waking up early and not having time...I need to be very organized as well as I'm out of the house 12 hours/day, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. But you can do it! Good luck

You're probably not eating the right type of cereal. Protein and fiber fill you up - so try one of the Kashi brand cereals with a little skim or almond milk.

This morning I made quick oats on the stove. Put 1/4 cup frozen raspberries and 1/4 cup frozen blueberries into it and voila! 210 calories and 9 grams of fiber - next time I'm going to add a bit of brown sugar to make it less bitter. I actually had planned on eating cottage cheese as well, but I was just too full (and still am 2 hours later).

Also an english muffin with peanut butter with a Greek yogurt or cottage cheese and a banana is another of my quicker breakfasts.

Just get enough protein and fiber to hold you off.

i love breakfast and im always looking for new stuff to fix. My newest is 1 C. eggbeaters with a tablespoon of french fried onions (yes, the kind you put on top of green bean cassarole) mixed in. this is only about 160 Calories, you can have coffee with it, which will add 2 mor calories (if you drink it black) or a cup of skim milk, which adds 90 mor calories. So at the most, it would be around 250 Calories. An you dont have to worry about standing around the stove wasting time to cook it in a ban, just put it in a bowl and toss it in the microwave for a couple minutes while you run and get dressed! Another favortie of mine is 1 toaster waffels (100 calories) with a half TBS peanutbutter (45 calories) and a class of skim milk (90 cal), this is also under 300 cals for breakfast. Again, quick and easy, pop it in the toaster, go get dressed, then its ready to go, slap on the PB and viola!

I have Quaker Oats High Fiber Oatmeal in the morning and I either add (2) links of lowfat Turkey Sausage or 100 calorie pack of Walnuts and Almonds. The extra protein really keeps me full for a long time.

I just posted this on my wall for my friends - but this is yummy and keeps me full Though I agree with others - eggs in the morning are great to start the day, and definately add in a morning snack a couple of hours after breakfast

...."If you're looking for something really yummy to eat as a snack that feels like it should be 'bad' - try mashing some banana on toast, drizzle with honey and sprinkle cinnamon on top, then grill until it starts to caramelise. MMMM! Just had it for breakfast (but with brown sugar rather than honey as I had none left ) and it came to 185 calories "....

So it's a bit sugary, but once a week isn't too bad

You may need to eat an apple or piece of fruit to go with your cereal. The fiber in the fruit helps fill you up. Another suggestion would be you might want to add a snack in. It's best to eat something small and sensible every 2-3hours, especially when you are losing weight.

I used this when I was on weight watchers. I lost 35lbs with them. I was always hungry and I would have apple slices or a banana on hand (especially when I was on my way home from work or preparing dinner) and this would be just enough to hold me over until my next meal.

Good Luck!

Every morning I have two pieces of whole wheat toast with Low Fat JIF, 8oz of milk, and a cup of coffee with cream and splenda. All comes to a litte lover 400 calories but it keeps me full till 11:30. I've spoke to my dietician as well and she's a big fan of my breakfast. I eat all of it in the car on the way to work

try chobani greek yogurt...they have plain or ones with fruit. add a little granola or cereal for something a little extra. or plain with a little honey and berries. check their website for coupons. the yogurt itself has 14 grams of protein, all natural, with no fat, and only 140ish calories. very good for your digestive system too!
