Filling breakfast ideas

I have two pieces of weight watchers danish brown bread toasted, with two one egg omelettes, just egg, no milk or butter, then about 20 / 30 grams of rice crispies with a little splash of milk, all together it comes around 300 kcal which is the best amount to kick start your metabolism for the day.

go from 3 meals aday to 5-6 meals a day. I helps you graze all day. Just stay with in your daily amounts.

when I only eat cereal i'm always hungry fast too.
some days I eat:

3 egg whites and 1 reg egg.
2 slices of light wheat or english muffin
large decaf ice coffee
and some blueberries.

Or sometimes i'll have 2 cups of strawberries with whip cream (it's pretty low cal) and a hard boiled egg

Getting some bulky fruits and protein seems to help me...and lots of liquids!

hope it helps.

My favorite breakfast that makes me feel good and ready to go in the morning is: An eggbeater omelet made with 1/4 c. Eggbeater, 1 Tbsp. shredded low fat cheese, 1 slice low sodium turkey bacon, and a smear of taco sauce. I like to roll that into a Low Carb Whole Wheat Tortilla, then I have a small peach, and 1/2 c. 1 % milk fat cottage cheese.
A good snack I enjoy in the morning is a Fiber One Chewy Bar (the oats and caramel is delicious).
Lunch could be as simple as a Spinach and grilled chicken salad with 1/2 c. sliced strawberries and a little vinagrette.

When I first started this site it was hard for me to fight the cravings, sometimes water helped though. If you think you are hungry, drink water with lemon - that always seems to help me.

Protein makes all the difference in the world. Try eggs, oatmeal with fruit and nuts, yogurt - again w/fruit and nuts, natural peanut butter on whole wheat, etc. Too much sugar will have you starving. Between your cereal and banana - that's a lot of sugar and no real nutritional value. Try to get the most nutrients out of the foods that you eat every day. And if possible, stay away from processed foods.

I'm always ready to eat my desk by 10am unless I get a decent protein source like low fat yogurt or eggs.

In place of your current cereal choice, try organic rolled oats, a 100% whole grain bread or lower sugar cereal (kashi honey toasted or other similar types with low sugar, high fiber). You may have to lower portion sizes to get to calorie goal, but better quality food choices will be higher in fiber and protein and lower in sugar which will help you feel satisfied longer. Also, aiming for small to moderate portions of quality protein sources (egg whites, low fat string cheese, greek yogurt, lean sources of chicken/fish/turkey, low fat cottage cheese, etc) with each meal will help with hunger, as well. Hope this helps.

Oatmeal is even better if you use old fashioned oats. I just heat the water in the microwave and put the oats in and let it set for a while, it is just like boiling it on the stove.

I was making smoothies, but realized I needed to EAT aka CHEW something. Drinking breakfast was not making me free like I had breakfast....a mind thing, I'm sure. So instead, I've started cutting up a medium banana, spooning over some light, fat free yogurt and then a sprinkling of sliced almonds. I even mixed in some Flax Meal for extra fiber. Total calories is about 240 and is nice and quick to prepare. Good luck!

Almost every morning I make myself an egg mcmuffin and it really keeps me full and it tastes great so it's satisfying!!

1 Thomas Better Start Light English Muffin (multi-grain)...i really like this kind because it has 8 grams of fiber
1 oz of Hillshire Farm Lower Sodium Ham Slices
1/2 slice of american cheese
2 egg whites

I also add a serving of fruit or vegetables on the side, because i try to get some of those at every meal. Hope this helps!!!

I find more calories serve me better in the mornings. I've been recently making a smoothie out of a cup of soymilk, a scoop of vanilla whey protein shake mix, a spoonful of peanut butter and about 1/2 a banana's worth of frozen banana chunks. It's about 300-350 calories but it fends off the tummy rumbles for a good amount of time

If you try this I hope it helps!

oo that one sounds awesome...i usually use half a bar of tofu dessert, soy milk, whey protein and fruit for an after workout smoothie, but i found it to thick...so now i just have fruit, water and whey protein. I may have to try your smoothie for breakfast though

3 Words...Steel...Cut...Oats... Yum, yum, yum! Check 'em out. You'll never go back to oatmeal.

bump...

Greek Yogurt (I like Chobani). It has a good amount of protein and not too many calories, and is EASY in the morning.

I have a variety of "oatmeals" that I have. All taste a bit different to fit the mode.
7 grain (also 10 grain): similar to steel cut oats but other flavors.
Steel cut oats. Taught to eat with a bit of milk on the side. Then oats stay hot. Milk gives it a good texture.
Old Fashioned Rolled Oats.
Bob's Red Mill 5 Grain Rolled Cereal
Bob's Red Mill Oats & Nuts Cereal (Basically Steel Cut Oats with Walnuts)
Muesli (My wife makes homemade. I eat it in plain yoghurt with fruit)
granola (Again, my wife makes it with honey as the sweetener)

Most the hot ones can be made in microwave, but I like the flavor better if cooked on stove, takes about 10 minutes.

Other days, I have 2 eggs (my wife has one), one piece of homemade whole wheat toast, and meat. If I am not exercising that day, it is 4 slices of canadian bacon. If exercising, two slices of bacon or sausage.

I am not a cold cereal eater.
