Breakfast Suggestions

Well there really isn't anything wrong with one egg in the morning, the problem is eating more than two eggs a day.

Try switching it up day to day! I do an english muffin one day, an egg the next, followed by rice oatmeal, and then fruit salad.

Variety is the only way I can get myself to eat breakfast.

Eggs really aren't that bad for you. They can be high in some ways, but if you balance it all out, you'll be fine.

I eat eggs all the time...my bloodwork is spotless.

I make my own Homemade Egg Substitute:

•3 egg whites
•2 tablespoons instant nonfat dry milk powder
•1 teaspoon water
Directions
•In a small bowl, combine all ingredients. Use as a substitute for eggs. Yield: 1 serving (equivalent to 2 eggs).

You can also buy the "Taste of Home Comfort Diet Cookbook". I went on AbeBooks.com and bought the 2009 book for $5.85. I love it and cook out of it just about every day. I lost 33 lbs. in 6 weeks using the book, Myfitnesspal.com and excercising at the YMCA 5 nights a week for an hour. I hope this helps.

I make steel cut oats in the crock pot:
1 cup steel cut
1 1/2 cup skim milk
1 1/2 water
1 tsp. butter
4 apples, chopped
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 Tbs. flax seed

Dump in crock pot, cook on low. Leftovers heat through well. We add blueberries & raisins, too.

You could have a 2 egg white omelette or one whole egg with one egg white if one whole egg isnt enough for you! Add a banana and some strawberries too! This is a pretty low calorie breakfast. Have your tea or coffee without sugar or milk, i find that that really reduces calorie intake.

For breakfast I go for smoothies -- it's all natural and healthy...gives me the energy that I need to keep me going. I throw in these ingredients into the bullet/blender:

1/2 c frozen spinach
1/2 c non fat greek yogurt
1/2 c frozen berries
1 c almond milk
small banana
a couple of ice cubes

I cooked rolled oats the 15 to 20 minute variety, sometimes rolled sometimes steel cut oats for the variety
I do this twice a week. I cook 11/2 cups rolled oats to 3 cups of water. I take out one portion of 3/4 of cup add unsweetened almond milk and a tsp, honey. The rest I wrap immediatlely so it doesn't get hard on top and put in a container, each day for the next three days I take my portion size out add a dash of water to mositon pop it in the microwave and heat for a minute or two.
I also have a small portion of fruit on the side.
There are great benefits health wise in eating oatmeal plus it is filling.

If you're willing to have eggs for breakfast, Greek Omelet is a good choice.
All my meals all have meat in them, so 2 eggs are always with breakfast.

On weekends, boiled or scrambled egg with toast, jam, and fruit.

On work days, either greek yogurt with sugar free jam or bran muffin with blueberries. I've tried breakfast "cookies" but they don't do much for texture and get mushy after a day or two. Another thing that works well is chia seeds in a yogurt smoothie. The extra protein from the chia seeds keeps me pretty full.

I tend to mix it up a bit ..


Protein Shake

Muesli with Yoghurt

Smoked Salmon with Pouched Egg

Fruit

Bacon and Egg

I didn't always eat breakfast but now that I work out and often road cycle I cant miss it ..
I did once and ended out dizzy ... Lol

Nothing wrong with eggs. I scramble mine with spinach and salsa and serve it with greek yogurt. Once I added some chevre and put it on a slice of whole wheat toast. It was delicious.
