    Protein Pancakes!
    3 eggs
    1 scoop vanilla protein powder
    1tsp baking powder
    1 tbsp flavored oatmeal
    1/2 cup almond milk
    1 tsp cinnamon

    top with fresh fruit, cool whip or sugar free syrup!

    All under 330 calories! (or you can only eat 1/2 for less calories-I can't do that!)

    Typically, it's one of two things, depending on my mood and how much time I have:

    1) Quaker instant oatmeal (maple & brown sugar flavor) with skim milk, blueberries and walnuts. Fills me up for the rest of the morning.

    2) Egg Beaters omelet with green and red peppers, jalepenos, baby tomatoes and spinach. Lower in calories than the oatmeal, but doesn't fill me up as well.

    Often whatever is left over from dinner. Or greek yoghurt, but I don't do well with cereals. Instant miso soup and some kind of pre-prepared protein is quick and easy (high salt, but I am fine with salt).
  • Whole wheat english muffin with light butter/olive oil.

    What is the deal with greek yogurt? What's the difference between Greek & regular?

    I am not usually hungry in the mornings for what ever reason. But I usually try to eat something like fresh fruit. Today I had a huge peach with my coffee and almond milk. Sometimes a banana mashed into oatmeal. I put agave syrup or honey on my oatmeal to make it have a little sweetness. I have just learned to adjust my tastes and forego the butter in it. I also eat dried fruit and a handful of nuts for breakfast also. Kind bars are great to eat if you are on the go in the morning.

    scrambled tofu (recipe here -> http://www.theppk.com/2009/10/tof-u-and-tof-me-scrambled-tofu-revisited/) it's basically tofu scrambled up like eggs... sometimes I add veggies, sometimes I don't... a half serving of cheese & some sort of carb (potatos, wrap, etc.) I make a batch of it and freeze it and I pop it in the microwave at work and have it everyday.

    I love eggs, but don't want them everyday and can't really make them ahead as easily and have them still be good and taste good. and cereals and oatmeals i'm just not into and they don't fill me up.

    Salad with chicken and bacon or a curry or tuna and sweetcorn with pasta.
    I eat my breakfast at about 4pm.

    Greek yogurt is thicker in consistency and higher in protein than regular yogurt.

    Greek is thicker and has a higher protein content. I personally think it's a little richer, too.

    :wink: I like the total lean shakes from GNC and you can add 1/2 bananas or some other fruit or just drink plain with water and ice and they have very little sugar.

    Most mornings it's cinnamon oatmeal with a couple tablespoons of flaxseed and I add extra cinnamon and sometimes strawberries. It really fills you up. I try to eat that most mornings, then a couple days a week I have a whole wheat english muffin with a little cream cheese.

    I either have a protein and fruit smoothie or a small bowl of frosted mini wheats. Either way I usually also have a banana.

    Greek yogurt with mixed berries with maybe a sprinkling of granola
    Leftovers from the night before (breakfast doesn't have to be breakfast food)
    Hard boiled egg with a piece of string cheese
    Crustless breakfast quiches (made in a muffin tin- so easy to pack a couple each day for all week!)
    Protein shake with berries

    These are just some of my week day go-tos. Weekends are definitely eggs, bacon and maybe hashbrowns...

    :happy:
  • Cereal and fruit for me... sometimes yogurt too.

    My go to breakfast is a piece of whole wheat toast, with about 1.5 tea spoon of natural almond butter, a banana, some berries and an orange juice ! If i want a bit of a change i'll have oatmeal with banana and cinnamon or berries.

    this morning was 2 extra large eggs, 1 slice of whole wheat toast and coffee
    yesterday was 3 homemade cranberry, ground flax pancakes (4" in size), a tablespoon of peanut butter and 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Awesome! I like the oatmeal idea except I add tons of sugar & butter to mine... Is there something else that could be added for taste? I don't like plain oatmeal.

    my favorite oatmeal that i made up is rolled oats, 1tbsp each of craisins, almond slices & chopped walnuts, and 1-2tsp of dark brown sugar which is only 15 calories per teaspoon. Also, I just started using agave nectar, haven't tired it in my oatmeal yet, but it's super sweet and really good for you! If you add a lot of sugar, i would suggest using agave nectar 1tbsp is a serving, but less would probably be sweet enough.

    Do you eat the same thing for breakfast every day? That may be the problem. Mixing it up a bit and you don't get bored. I eat yogurt, fruit and nuts for breakfast a lot, but I change the fruit and nuts. Sometimes I use cottage cheese instead. Sometimes I have eggs...all different kinds, scrambled, soft boiled, poached, over easy, omlette or frittata. Sometimes I put the poached or overeasy egg on top of sauteed greens, like benedict without sauce or muffin. Sometimes I eat toast with tomato and melted cheese and basil. Sometimes I eat other bread, like bagel, or muffins. Sometimes I just eat cheese and nuts and fruit. Sometimes I eat cooked cereal, like oatmeal, steel cut oats or kamut. Sometimes I make myself a smoothie. Once in awhile I whip up some pancakes. And sometimes I like to eat asian style with soba noodles.

    And darnit, sometimes I just throw some leftovers in the micro.

    Start eating more of a variety. A lot of diets fail due to boredom more than anything else.

    Everyday I'm over my sugar, no matter what I do. But because this weight loss is a new healthy and permanent lifestyle for me, i refuse to give up my favorites and instead eat them in moderation with much much smaller portions.
    My go tos are:
    Harvest crunch cereal with almond milk and some trail mix in there,
    chocolate oatmeal,
    2 pieces of whole grain bread dipped in cinnamon french toast egg beater mix stuffed with mushed blueberrys stevia and light cream cheese,
    or eggs, toast and turkey bacon with a little bit of ketchup.
