I could really need your help with breakfast. I need a low cal breakfast but with the benefit of making me feel full for long. porridge doesn't seem to do the trick and now I am eating sandwiches which is no good at all. Please help.

    What's wrong with sandwiches?
    How about 2 fried eggs with a slice of Swiss and 2 strips of bacon on rye toast? That's my favorite weekend breakfast and it holds me til dinner!
    During the week I have 2 fried eggs on whole grain toast and it holds me til 1-2.

    I need protein at breakfast or I'm snacky by 10am. I have a microwave egg cooker at work and have eggs on toast most mornings. Sometimes I mix it up with baked beans, or cream cheese or cottage cheese on toast.

    Most days I have an apple with peanut butter and some string cheese. I have my day set up so that breakfast is before 8 am and I generally eat a mid morning snack somewhere before noon. I agree with the poster who says what's wrong with sandwiches. I'm a big fan of eating whatever I want for breakfast, yesterday it was a hamburger patty leftover from the night before.

    Sometimes I just have eggs or eggs and a banana. For a while I microwaved 2 eggs put a slice of cheese on it and put it on a whole wheat english muffin. It was 300 calories. I was full for a long time with that.

    Typical for me is 2-3 egg whites, a glass of milk and an apple, but some days, like today, it's 1/2c Greek yogurt with 1/2c frozen berries (warmed slightly with Splenda, so the juices get a bit syrupy) and 2T granola. Other times, its a quesadilla on a high fiber tortilla.

    Eat what you want...if you like a sandwich for breakfast (or leftovers) and its sensible, then eat it. I eat a salad for breakfast every now and again...

    Protein, Protein, Protein. What you are eating fills you up for a short while, then the insulin drops, you are hungry again. If you really
    want your porridge, then add a couple eggs on the side.

    Whatever you chose, eat protein. My favorite breakfast in the world, is low-carb pancakes made from ground flax, ground almonds, and coconut flour with sugar free syrup and 2 scrambled eggs with turkey sausage. I feel like I went out to a restaurant when I enjoy this! There are tons of recipes online for healthy pancakes. Make up a bunch of the dry mix and just add the eggs/milk (or water) and enjoy. You can even precook about 3 days worth and warm in the microwave while you scramble eggs. Or even precook the eggs for quick warming.

    Eggs or meat will keep you full. The high fiber pancakes will too.

    Oats are great, but def work some eggs into your breakfast and don't be scared of the yolks, they contain great fat-soluble vitamins and enzymes. Also you might want to into some meat like 2 strips of bacon or some turkey sausage.

    I make a big pot of vegetable soup at the beginning of the week and have a bowl every morning during the week. I find that it fills me up and doesn't have too many calories.

    I make a crustless quiche prob twice a month that I can take to work all week. Egg beaters, turkey sausage crumbles, cottage cheese, swiss cheese mushrooms, green onions. Lots of protein and I'm set for the week.
