    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?

    Nothing, unless I'm really hungry. Then I'll make a big pot of chai. Breakfast is something I loathe.

    During the week (M-F) I eat Oatmeal made with water, a little sugar, cinnamon & raisins and of course my coffee with Sugar Free Creamer and a little sugar - easy to prep the butter, sugar, cinnamon & raisins at home and fix at work!

    On the weekends my favorite is scrambled egg whites with a little shredded cheese, a slice of whole wheat toast with a little butter on it.

    Both keep me full until lunch time!

    I have the same thing every morning, or nearly. 1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt (plain), 1/2 cup mixed berries, 30g Puffins cereal. Sometimes I drizzle it with honey, sometimes not. Keeps me full till lunch most days.

    Weekend mornings I might make pancakes, or frozen waffles. Occasionally turkey bacon.

    ETA that sometimes, when the craving for an Egg Mcmuffin hits me, I toast one half of an English muffin and put 1/2 slice of American cheese on it, and then a hard-poached egg (slash the yolk while it's cooking and it's just like McD's). Delicious.

    i usually have the same breakfast for like a week at a time. this week it is one hard boiled egg (80 calories) and one mild cheddar cheese stick (80) calories.

    Sometimes its a light & fit greek yogurt (80 calories) and a string cheese (50 calories)

    Sometimes its coffee only.

    These have all become my go to's because I have to be at work early. So I grab and go. And eat at work.

    Every morning I have Alpen porridge ( fruit and nut) and skimmed milk.
    Creature of habit, besides it fills me up and I enjoy it.
    It's also good for anyone with a cholesterol problem ( I dont, just dont want one :-) )

    Cheers

    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.
    You can also add 3 oz of tofu to make it thick. You can't taste it and it gives you lots of protein :)

    I am a breakfast fanatic. I love all kinds of breakfast foods. So I try to make sure I have a variety during the work week.

    Here are a few things I take with me to work (easy to transport & easy to eat at a desk)

    1. Oatmeal W/ Skim Milk, Brown Sugar, Cinnamon
    2. Greek Yogurt & Granola
    3. WW English Muffin & Peanut Butter
    4. Cheerios (Multi-grain or regular)
    5. Protein Bar & Banana

    Sometimes depending on what I bring, I have a late morning snack before lunch. Some kind of fruit. It helps so that I can stay full till lunch which sometimes I don't get till 1pm.

    Eat breakfast it is great :)

    Usually nothing. There is no reason to have breakfast unless you WANT to. Meal timing and frequency have no impact on weight loss except psychological and personal.

    If I do have something, I might do a smoothie or eggs. Sometimes oatmeal.

    I have protein powder mixed with water or milk pretty much every morning because it's fast and easy. I put more time and energy into preparing lunch and dinner.

    I usually have 2/3 cup of greek yogurt, 1/4 cup of granola with added protein, and I will put fruit in it.... make it a parfait. Then I will eat 2 slices of turkey bacon and sometimes 2 egg whites. Or some days, I stop at McDonalds and get an egg white delight mcmuffin (ssshhhh, don't tell anyone). I didn't eat breakfast at all before I started this back in July... Now, I cant go very long without it.

    Typically, Kashi Go Lean, skim milk and fresh fruit (half a banana or some berries)

    Other times I put steel cut oats in the crockpot overnight with dried fruit. Depending on my mood I either have the oatmeal with smart balance and a packet of splenda or some brown sugar and a drop of milk.

    Other times its breakfast out so maybe panckaes or Chorizo Hash, or something else, but usually it's one of the first two.

    meal timings are very important, and they are important for your metoblism. You should eat within an hour of getting up so that you can kick starting your metoblism. If you are not timing your eating then your metoblism tens to slow and that is not something that is helpful for weightloss.

    Boiled eggs, rolled oats with nuts, or a banana during the winter. Usually also grab a cup of coffee or cup of tea.
    I like simple.

    This is a myth and one that has been disproved time and time again by science. Do a search. Educate yourself. Your metabolism does not "slow" just because you don't eat. Tell that to all the people who do IF and have AMAZING results.

    That cereal is soooo good. I use it as a treat! I love it with almond milk. It's not an everyday breakfast food for me. I wish I could have it everyday.

    I usually have a breakfast sandwich comprised of the 35 cal per slice bread, a wedge of laughing cow cheese, and a tablespoon of salsa. Lots of flavors I crave while coming in under 200 calories and keeping sodium and cholesterol in check.
