    I alternate between two b-fast each with this "base":

    1 Activia light, 1/2 light english muffin, 3 prunes, 12 almonds

    Then I either do
    1 cup Kashi Go Lean Originial OR One instant oatmeal (original or low sugar apple cinnamon)

    I've created a delicious recipe I've dubbed "Breakfast Explosion" that is a delicious and quick way to eat breakfast every morning, especially when I don't feel like I have time to make anything before work.

    It consists of:

    10 large eggs
    5 strips of bacon
    3 sausage patties
    1.5 cups of cheese
    2 cups of spinach
    half a chopped onion
    a tablespoon of flour
    1 oz cream
    lots of butter

    Cook the sausage and bacon and spinach. Beat eggs, cream, and flour together.
    Combine ingredients.
    Bake and cut into 5 servings.

    This has been my breakfast lately.

    Steel cut oats cooked overnight in the slow cooker, stewed apple and cranberries with cinnamon cooked overnight in the slow cooker. Wake up to amazing smells. I put the oats, salt and water in a mason jar, the cinnamon, chopped apple and cranberries into another mason jar before I go to bed. I set them in a slow cooker full of water. In the morning, if I am running late I can take the jars out, and carry them with me.

    Whole wheat english muffin sandwich (2 eggs, 2 slices canadian bacon) with a banana and greek yogurt on the side :)

    Wow! That's my breakfast, except I eat 3 slices of canadian bacon (50 cals) and substitute strawberries for the banana.

    I'll try to do this. It sounds terrific! I love oats but hate all the time it takes to prepare it.

    I used to never eat breakfast, but now I make sure I do. I have a smoothie with 3/4 cup of fruit, 1 cup 1% milk, 1 scoop unjury protein powder. And of course a cup of coffee with powdered creamer and natrasweet.

    Usually nothing, but I made some vegan banana "muffins" (they came out more like chewy granola) yesterday, so I had one of those, some strawberries and coffee this morning.

    I tried the refrigerator oatmeal for the first time. It was ok. Think I had too much milk. I will try it again before I rule it out as a breakfast option.

    I typically eat a sandwich with either a low fat tortilla or a flat bread, along with ham or turkey and some type of cheese, about 175-190 calories and either a banana or fresh strawberries, but I am a little bored with that so I am going to try some eggs this week. Thanks for the post got some good ideas from other people!

    I love breakfast! It's usually my most calorie laden meal of the day. This is my favorite breakfast, it delicious, crunchy & satisfying. It also knocks off about 1/2 of my protein goal for the day! If I don't get in a big % of protein first thing in the morning, it feels like I fighting my protein goal all day long. This breakfast does the trick.

    Dole - Pineapple, Fresh, 1.5 oz.
    Gourmet Nut - Dry Roasted Edamame, 1 oz
    Chobani - Low Fat Plain Greek Yogurt, 6 oz
    Kashi - Go Lean Crunch - Honey Almond Flax, 0.5 cup
    Syntrax Nectar - Whey Protein Isolate Fruit Juice Flavor - Caribbean Cooler, 1.5 scoops

    A lot of these suggestions are very carb heavy & protein light (except for the eggs, meat or protein smoothie suggestions). Since "most" women should have around 100-125 grams of protein/day (minimum requirement) to minimize muscle loss while dieting, how do you get all your protein in, when breakfast is basically a bust in the protein department? If I don't get an appreciable amount of protein in at breakfast, I feel like I'm push protein all day long. I like to get at least 1/3 if not 1/2 of my protein goal out of the way in the morning. I consume at least 125-145 grams/day.

    I usually eat 3-4 bananas and then go workout. Then I make a 800-1000 calorie green smoothie after my workout.

    I alternate

    Everyday is coffee

    But mostly I just eat either a Pear or a cup of Honey Nut Cheerios (no milk just dry) during my work week. My breakfast is at 9:15AM and my lunch at 11:45, if I eat to big a breakfast I am not hungry at lunch and tend to snack my way through the afternoon.

    On the weedends I eat 2 scrambled eggs and a piece of toast with margarine.

    I always start off with a glass of water in the morning and sometimes green tea. I don't drink coffee.

    I don't eat my first meal until 10am or 11am, but I will usually make one of the following:

    - 2 scrambled eggs, a slice of turkey bacon and toast
    - a loaded omelette with avocado, lunchmeat and seasonings
    - a protein shake with frozen fruit and fruit on the side
    - a healthy cereal (with lots of protein and fiber) with natural yogurt and berries
    - oatmeal (steel cut oats) with nuts and berries mixed in with a piece of toast

    All of these options keep me full for hours.

    I usually have 1 c. of Plain Greek Yogurt with 2 tbsp. PB2, Splenda and cinnamon plus one or two different kinds of fruit and 1/2 c. Fiber One Original-- it's usually 300-350 calories, but it keeps me full all day because of the fiber and protein.
    Other times I'll have puffed wheat + Fiber One Original + PB2 + Almond Milk + some kind of protein on the side (hardboiled eggs, FF cottage cheese, yogurt, etc.) + fruit. ~ 350-400 calories.
    I suggest that you focus on protein and fiber for breakfast because they will keep you sustained waaaaay longer than a bowl of Fruity Pebbles or something primarily consisting of simple carbs. :happy:
