Peanut butter bread with Jam

Peanut butter "french toast" ... two slices of low calorie bread made into a sandwich with the peanut butter. Coated in one whisked egg and fried in a non-stick skillet. Served with a side of greek yogurt with some honey mixed it.

I could actually eat that every day, for all meals lol. But I love peanut butter.

I've never been a big fan of breakfast, so I like to eat something really light like a Thomas everything bagel thin with cream cheese, scrambled eggs or egg whites on whole wheat or potato bread toast, or Open Nature instant oatmeal. Sometimes I add a banana, some peach yogurt, or a glass of passion orange guava juice for something sweet to cut down on my sugar cravings for the rest of the day.

Usually it is 10tbsp egg whites scrambled with 1c chopped fresh baby spinach, and 1/4c fat free cheddar cheese, sometimes with a slice of wheat toast if I have enough carb allowance for it.

My other go to is a sweet potato with light butter and brown sugar, or cereal (kashi or fiberone, the protein varieties) with skim milk.

Coffee :drinker:

This is bad but I usually have 2 cups of coffee then a couple of hours later (or longer!) start hunting something to eat. This is a bad habit I have and must get over!! It would be so easy to at least grab a yogurt and fruit but I am just not hungry.

Lately I've just been having a protein shake (1 scoop chocolate whey, 1 tbl spoon of ground flax seed & 4 oz almond milk), a banana, and coffee. Sometimes I'll make an egg bake casserole with egg whites, mozzarella cheese, red onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, spinach, and mushrooms and eat that throughout the week.

Nutella Oatmeal pre workout (I have this after my coffee and make it in my used coffee mug. Saves on dirty dishes and the little bit of coffee helps bring out the chocolate flavor):
1/4 cup Quick Oats
1/2 cup Almond Milk
1/2 tbsp Nutella

And a kale and fruit protein smoothie post workout and shower (portion out the berries, banana, and kale into individual freezer bags at the beginning on the week, that way I can just throw it in the blender with the milk and powder. Anything that makes mornings faster is a plus to me!):
1/4 cup Frozen Berries
1/4 Frozen Banana
1 cup Kale
1 cup Almond Milk
1 scoop Vanilla Whey Powder

I have 2 egg whites and 2 or 3 slices of bacon.

Staples I like:

1. 1/2 cup oatmeal made with 1/2 cup soy milk, flaxseed, cloves, and 1/2 scoop of protein powder, with a carb master yogurt on the side.

2. 2 slices of low-cal whole wheat toast with 2 eggs or turkey breakfast sausage

3. Plain greek yogurt with muesli/granola and fresh fruit.

A 32 ounce bottle of Green Smoothie made in my Vitamix the night before. You can't get much easier than that!

I eat a LOT at breakfast. I usually combine two of the following:

a) 40 g oatmeal cooked in 1/2 c almond milk + 1/2 c water with either half a banana and berries, or a half cup of canned pumpkin + pumpkin pie spice (or if i'm feeling sinful, a serving of dark chocolate chips, a tbsp of cocoa powder and splenda - HIGHLY recommended)

b) 1/2 or 1 c skim greek yogurt with splenda and maybe berries and/or banana

c) 1/2 or 1 c 1% cottage cheese

d) 1 english muffin or 1 slice sprouted grain bread toasted topped with 2 eggs scrambled, a bit of guacamole, a bit of shredded cheddar

e) a whole fruit (apple, orange, banana) or a bowl of berries

But if I do the english muffin I don't do the oatmeal and vice versa.
