BREAKFAST HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

whole grain waffle with peanut butter and banana. yum yum yum

I'm all about oatmeal - 1/4 cup dry cooked with 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup skim milk, some splenda, some cinnamon, and a piece of fruit diced up in it (peaches and bananas) are my favorite. If I don't feel like oatmeal I do the diced up fruit with plain greek yogurt.

wholemeal toast and dairylea......Mmmmmmmmmm :bigsmile:

Soup! I make a huge pot of soup on Sundays, split it into 5 tupperware containers, then I just bring it to work with me and nuke it, filling and easy!

I'm not a breakfast food kind of person either!

Best of luck!

I love fresh cut up fruit with yogurt. you could do cereal and yogurt. Think complex carbs and very little sugar to get you going in the day.

I usually drink a chocolate Shakeology on the way to work and have some oatmeal is a mid-morning snack.

Unsweetened Almond Milk for your cereal - 40 calories in an 8oz serving.
Kashi Go Lean Cereal - 140 calories in 1 Cup
1/2 cup of berries - 40 calories
Total breakfast - 220 calories.

I used to love a bagel with cream cheese in the morning. And I haven't had them in forever. Last time I went to the store, I discovered Arnold made a "Bagel Flat" and they have my favorite flavor, Cinnamon Raisin. It's 110 calories for the bagel. And I get the little Philadelphia cream cheese cubes, which are 100 calories a piece. So 210 for that, but I get my bagel fix and it fills me for about 3 hours before I start noticing hunger pangs again.

I also sometimes do a banana with one tablespoon of peanut butter. Around 200 calories for that one.

Hope this helps.

One of my favorite breakfast meals:

2 slices of low calorie (35 calorie) whole wheat toast
1 wedge of laughing cow swiss bites, 1/2 on each toast
2 thick tomato slices - one on each toast, atop the cheese
1/2 packet of any favorite instant oatmeal
3 medium strawberries cut into bite-sized pieces
and coffee... always coffee. :-)

However, strawberry season is about over so I may have to replace those with melon or something. It totals around 250 (I think?) cals and is rather filling! And, I may be changing the bread - it was healthy life, but my bf mentioned the other day that it smelled very chemically and I got a closer sniff and unfortunately, he's very right. I don't know if its the plastic that it's wrapped in or if there's something in teh bread.... I need to find the easy recipe to make my own again.

I also really love my Kellog's Smart Start. There's so much iron, you'll pee orange! LMAO! For a woman, that's hugely important.

I'm not much of a yogurt person in the morning. Its high in cals and not very filling to me. I like it, but I don't feel like I get the most bang for my buck (110 cals per little cup) so I've kind of given up on it.

There is this GREAT 7 grain cereal - Something Mill I think - it's in a clear bag..... anyway, it's about 130 cals per bowl, you heat it in the nuker, put anything in it you want and its REALLY filling! You wouldn't need anything else with it. :-)

I usually have high fiber Quaker Oats Instant Oatmeal with 2 links of fat free turkey sausage mixed in - that I have on most days. The other I will have cereal, Fiber One Muffin or something frozen from Weight Watchers.

I can not eat a plain egg. Makes me GAG!! But I do like boiled eggs...

Do you like BOILED eggs? If you cam stomach them, but need a little "umph", then try a spice on them, like Ms. Dash. I prefer Cavender's greek spice: http://www.amazon.com/Cavenders-Greek-Seasoning-Salt-Purpose/dp/B000LRKQWY. That will keep you full a long time. You can pair this with light toast and/or fruit.

Have you tried Egg Beaters? They come in a variety of flavors that I REALLY like! Southwest, cheese and chives, garden vegitable.

Cottage cheese, with pineapple and Fiber One (original) all mixed in a bowl, is SUPER YUMMY!!

Yogurt, fruit and toast.

Half a bagel with peanut butter

Banana with peanut butter. Some times I add honey and cinnamon.

Feel free to snoop my diary... it's open!

I'm not an egg fan at all either. I've been eating steel cut oatmeal and fresh blueberries for breakfast a lot lately. I like the steel cut oatmeal better because it has a chewier more rice like texture. It takes forever to cook though so I make a big batch on Sunday and it lasts through the week just fine in the fridge. I also like a banana, whole wheat toast, and light Swiss laughing cow cheese. I've been trying to stay away from cereal because of the high sugar content but Kashi Go-lean is decent and filling.

Whole wheat waffles and sugar-free syrup or jelly with half a banana.
Fiber One pancakes.
Yogurt and cup of fruit.
Cereal and almond milk.

Keep it simple. Just do a cold cereal with a lot of fiber and skim milk.

I like quaker oat squares cereal.
