    I too need a higher calorie breakfast or I feel hungry all day, I also workout quite a bit some days and need more. I am going to eat 1 large egg, 1 large egg white, .5 of 1/4 cup shredded cobly monterey jack cheese, and three slices canandian bacon on a whole wheat english muffin:) It totals between 300-400 cal. Thats a typical breakfast that I rotate with a cup of oatmeal and 1/2 c frozen berries. I liked reading what other people eat too. Have a great week!!!! Happy Thanksgiving!

    Thanks for all of the replies all, it's interesting to read and see how everyone is eating and why. I think this is especially important around the holidays, see where we can cut calories and still eat yumminess. I am excited to try oatmeal with peanut butter, that actually sounds really good. Is anyone interested in me making another thread for snacks, lunch and dinner? Or is there one out there like that already? Just let me know, I really am enjoying MFP!

    1 cup of coffee with 1/4 cup skim milk
    1/2 cup steel cut oatmeal with 1/4 pumpkin puree, 1/4 unsweetened vanilla almond milk and a few walnuts


    206 cals

    I usually balance my carbs in the morning, usually eggs and veggies with whole grain toast.

    Today was the exception. :happy:

    I ate 350 calories. try to eat at least 1/4 of your daily calories in the morning, to get you boosted. Also, try to eat any carbs during breakfast and lunch and avoid them for dinner. Eating more in the early parts of your day will keep you from making late night snack choices which are killer on your eating healthy diet.

    Good Luck!

    I had one piece of wheat bread, one fried egg and 2 slices of dole's pineapple in 100% juice. Grand total: 200 calories

    I'm just wanting to see what else people have for breakfast and how the calories compare. I've never really cared to count calories before, but then again, I've never been able to lose weight before... and I am curious to see if this will actually work.

    I usually eat a minimum of 350 cals for breakfast because I think your metabolism needs that fuel to start the day. Today I had 2 oatmeal applesauce muffins topped with 2 tbsp of homemade applesauce and a glass of skim milk.
