Hello,
What do you usually have for breakfast? I never had breakfast before, just a cup of coffee and maybe a sandwich sometimes. I want to have a healthy and nutritious breakfast that will keep me energized throughout the day. What do you fitness buddies enjoy having for breakfast?

    Depends. I try to workout in the mornings before work. When I do I usually drink my protein shake and that's my breakfast followed by a nature valley bar for a snack. If not working out I usually eat oatmeal.

    I usually work out at night because I am always rushing in the mornings. Do you use skim milk with your oatmeal?

    Avocado and tomato on toast, and a soy latte. I can't handle sweet food in the mornings. This is my fave breakfast, and something that is quick and easy to make at work :) it also keeps me full until (almost) lunch time.
    Having said that, you can have anything you like for brekkie! Even non-breakfast foods. Have leftovers from the previous dinner, or whatever else floats your boat. The more delicious your brekkie is, the more likely you are to eat it.

    Avocado and tomato on toast sounds yummy, now i want to try it :) You just cut the avocado, tomato and put it on the toast, nothing else added?

    I love to have 4 egg whites with one slice of american cheese, and some frozen onions and peppers. I usually eat this around 7 AM and it keeps me full all morning!

    I eat cereal every day. My favorites are fiber one almond clusters or special k protein plus. I make sure to measure it out so that I only have a cup and then use skim milk.

    Multigrain cheerios are good, as well as I have oatmeal with Omega 3. When I am home on the weekends and have more time I have an egg white omelet with ham or spinach, veggies, and weight watcher toast.. SO yummy!!

    Yep! :happy: I add salt to mine, and pepper is good also. I also have Nuttelex (olive oil spread) on occasion but I should probably consider skipping that, it doesn't really need it at all...
    If I'm having the same brekkie at home I will sometimes add extra things- egg, spinach, mushrooms, fetta... whatever's in the fridge. But I like to sleep in so it's more of a brunch/lunch thing on those days. Delish :smile:

    Also I have a coworker here who makes 'scrambled eggs' in a mug. I think you just crack an egg or two in a mug, add a little water/milk, whisk a bit with a fork and then nuke it. Not sure of the time but I'm sure others will know. Doesn't take long anyway. Boiled eggs are another alternative. You can boil a whole bunch and just bring them to work. Just depends what you like and what is convenient for you :flowerforyou:

    I do a green smoothie - four cups kale or spinach, two cups unsweetened almond milk, one cup frozen fruit (I like to use berries or mango). Sometimes I throw a banana in for thickness. It's delicious, full of nutrients, and keeps me full till lunch. Plus it only takes 30 seconds to make and 2 minutes to down and I'm always in a rush in the morning.

    Usually I have cereal (right now I'm eating Coconut Chia Granola) with fat free milk and a low sodium V8. The cereal is perhaps high in carbs, but I like sweet tastes so it helps with cravings. I've taken to weighing my cereal and now I'm actually eating the correct portion!

    I like to have breakfast for lunch too, I think. I often have a whole wheat english muffin with 1 egg and a slice of cheese, sometimes with some avocado. Yummm. I've broken my habit of going to McDonald's for breakfast by making my own, much healthier version :happy:

    I tend to vary my meals quite a bit, but I like to have Greek yogurt and granola (the amounts I eat it ends up being 290 cal), but I also like instant oatmeal made with skim milk. Not as nutritious as homemade, but I usually need breakfast to be something very, very quick.

    My best breakfast is adjustable depending on how much protein and fat I need.
    1. Nuke a bag of frozen veggies for 3 minutes.
    2. Heat a skillet to level 6 or 7 while they're cooking.
    3. Dump the veggies in the skillet. Add a teaspoon of olive oil, butter, or both.
    4. Beat an egg or two while they're browning. Add it to the skillet and stir to cook the egg.

    Optional: Add ham, turkey, bacon, and/or cheese to taste and calories.

    Takes under ten minutes to make, starts around 200 calories minimum and can go as high as you like. Mine usually has ham and a little cheese, adding up to about 400 calories. It's great to start the day with 30-40 grams of protein in your belly. :tongue:

    ETA: My no-time-to-cook go-to is usually deli ham, cheese, crackers, and an apple. Heavy on the ham, pretty light on everything else.

    I have whole-grain cereal with dried fruit and/or nuts and soy milk and black coffee just about every day.

    Quick breakfast is a whole grain bagel and Greek yogurt. If I have a bit more time I'll cook some eggs and if feeling frisky an omelet of some type.

    2 fried eggs on toast, with a can of baked beans if it's a heavy lifting day.
