Best Breakfast Food?

Bacon and eggs! Keeps me full for hours and hours.

I eat porridge (oatmeal) made with goat's milk for breakfast every morning with cinnamon and fruit. It is honestly the meal I look forward to most. If I could eat porridge for every meal I would, lol. Seriously though, it keeps you full and there's so many toppings you could add to mix it up )

Hmm, if it were me, I'd focus on the calories overall, and let the separate categories balance out at the end of the week. i don't eat stereotypical breakfast foods. i'm not a pancake and waffle person, don't like heavy bacon and eggs, omelets are boring no matter how much of the pantry you throw into it. my breakfast is just like lunch and dinner. anything i'd eat in the afternoon is on the menu in the morning as well.

I love mixing up my breakfasts!

This morning I had a scramble with mushrooms, scallions, half of a jalapeno burger crumbled in it, parmesan cheese and tomato. I had a piece of toast and glass of milk on the side.

Yesterday I had a soutwestern style breakfast burrito.

The things that keep me full the longest tend to be pairing a protein source (egg whites, meat, eggs, etc) with vegetables, a high fiber complex carb (double fiber wheat bread, low carb/high fiber tortilla, high fiber cereal) and a source of moderate fat (avocado, reduced fat cheese)

Oatmeal, cooked or scrambled eggs, whole wheat bread or bagel

Oatmeal with low fat milk and fresh fruit

You can manually set your macros in MFP, so you don't look at the levels of cholesterol, it's irrelevant. If anything, you should be eating MORE foods with high cholesterol, it will be good for you. Why are you so scared of cholesterol?

pancakes!!! i make my own pancakes every morning with peanut butter

Oatmeal! Best there is!

Pick up some good books like Eat Fat Lose Fat, Real Food Has Curves, Omnivore's Dilemma, In Defense of Food. Start searching and you'll start learning - and getting truth, great recipes, and health.

Best wishes!

Reply to the person who asked what's wrong with Cholesterol. It may not be a problem for you, but it a serious problem for some people.

If you are female, overweight and over forty, you are at high risk for gallstone disease. The doctors charmingly refer to it as
fat-female-overforty. Cholesterol is very bad, as basically, gallstones are made of little rocks of excess cholesterol. A high-fat meal can bring on a gallstone attack. This happens when the gallbladder is so full of gallstones, that the opening gets temporarily blocked.

A mild attack feels like someone poked you violently with their finger in the spot on your mid-upper right torso where your gall bladder is - but it just keeps on feeling that way - sometimes for hours. A moderate attack feels the same but much worse.
A severe attack feels like someone stuck a spear through you - you can feel it going through your front and out of your back. A severe attack is also often accompanied by nausea. If it gets worse than that, it can kill you.

Most doctors recommend that if you have gallstone disease you should have your gallbladder removed. What they don't mention is that
a) a significant percentage of people still suffer gallstone attack symptoms after gallbladder removal
b) having the gallbladder removed does not stop the body from producing gallstones (sometimes they are found in fun places like the pancreas ;-)
c) after your gallbladder is removed they put you on a very fat restrictive diet
d) there are expensive medications that can gradually reduce the size of gallstones
e) mint tea has been shown (medical study, canada) to reduce the size of gallstones

The best way to deal with gallstone disease is through diet and exercise. Cholesterol and fats should be very limited. I've had moderate to severe gallstone disease for about 15 years now. The more I weigh the worse it gets. A high fat meal almost always brings on an attack (usually just a mild one). I've avoided surgery through limiting my fat intake, and through drinking at least a quart of mint tea a day. Good thing I like mint tea.

Also, if you are fat enough to have gallstone disease, have them check you for Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)
