Healthy breakfast ideas

You're a tough cookie. I'm not necessarily looking for something that will melt in my mouth- I want something I can tolerate and something that will fill me up. I was just having this conversation with my friend and she recommended. Strawberry frosted mini wheat cereal. You can eat one cup for like 190 calories (no milk) and it fills you up. You can have an entire cup of blueberries for 80 calories and it's a natural tummy shrinking fruit and so Is oatmeal--so I'm told. Not the yummy brown sugar and strawberries and cream kind. I'm talking the old plain crap. ½ cup of the oats, and then 1 cup of water…add splenda or truvia if you need to add a sweetener…NEVER real sugar. Too many calories- and then I add cinnamon. You get a HUGE bowl of it and it makes you fuller…longer.

I also eat a ton of egg white omelets. I add tomatoes, spinach, mushroom a light sprinkle of weight watchers cheese, but you could add any veggies you like and it's surprisingly filling with very little calories. I find I have that for dinner a lot of nights too.

Do you like eggs?

I like to make "healthy huervos rancheros" in the morning, which is 2 fried (or you can scramble them) eggs over brown rice with salsa. Piece of fruit on the side.

Breakfast tacos with corn tortillas. Spread some avocado on the tortillas, add scrambled eggs and salsa. Piece of fruit on the side.

When you say "porridge", do you mean oatmeal? I make oatmeal with water, then add banana, cinnamon, walnuts. Kind of like banana bread.

I like scrambled egg whites with spinach! Cereal and almond milk is good too, if the cereal is healthy. You could make smoothies with bananas, frozen berries, and peanut butter. Some types of oatmeal can be healthy, and you can use almond milk in that also.

You could also add Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles (70 calories for 1/2 cup) and whatever veggies you like to your eggs..

toast with pb and banana
scrambled eggs with veggies and salsa

have you tried oatmeal with coconut milk? that's pretty good, tasty with cinnamon and blueberries mixed in

What if you just ate dinner leftovers or a sandwich, maybe?

Bumping for ideas, I need some breakfast inspiration too

Sometimes your health is more important than enjoying food.. You'd be surprised at what you can learn to like.. It's called "Re-educating your taste buds" as my nutrition teacher used to say...

By not eating the foods you say you do not like, you are going to miss out on a world of health benefits.. I say suck it up and figure out a way to get these foods into your body. I enjoy many foods today that I would have gagged on a few years back..

Good luck!

To steer clear of bacon (I am not a fan of turkey bacon) I eat one or two hard boiled egg whites. No yolks. I bought this 7 grain pepridge farm bread that is only 45 calories per slice, so I will also have one slice of that with Olivio sprayed on it. Half an apple and old fashioned rolled oats, no milk, just 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and two packets of truvia.

Have you tried Almond Milk?

You can also make a breakfast burrito. Use egg whites, turkey sausage, low-fat cheese, salsa. I also use fat-free sour cream.

I second that almond milk is pretty good (the unsweetened, unflavored ones). I personally think soy milk is gross.
As for breakfast ideas, I usually eat eggs, and bacon (turkey for me because pork upsets my stomach). Sometimes I add fruits to my breakfast or milk but that doesn't help you.

I second quiche and fritattas; they are great ways to get veggies in. I also love potatoes with breakfast as hashbrowns or homefries. I sometimes also mix a banana and egg together and cook like a pancake, it's pretty good. Omelettes are a traditional favorite. I slather mine in mango salsa.

Smoothies/milkshakes are an okay way to go (just watch the sugar). Easiest is just leftovers. I also like fruit and whipped cream as a treat. I like fruit myself, but you could mix a little chocolate syrup or cocoa powder and honey into the cream before you whip it for a light mousse. Fats will help you feel full and while cream is high calorie, you can eat a 1/3 with chocolate syrup for less than 300 calories. It just depends on what you want for your calories.

Eating pancakes and waffles won't stop you from losing weight either. I'd watch the syrup on them though. I started measuring my syrup and found my pancakes sometimes had 1/4 cup of syrup in them. Two tablespoons or less is fine for me now.

Finally, try old things in new ways when you have time. You might surprise yourself. I think most finicky eaters just haven't been exposed to foods enough.
