breakfast ideas

My go to breakfast is a cup of oatmeal with cinnamon, 1 tbsp. of peanut butter, and scrambled egg whites or a protein shake.

If you like cheese omelettes, this is great low calorie breakfast. Buy the Egg whites in the carton, Use a quarter of the carton once it has cooked fully on one side add 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and a processed cheese slice over top of cottage cheese and fold omelette. The processed cheese melts into the cottage cheese to give it more consistency and you get a nice puffy/tasty omelette for under 200 calories. Great protein and minimal fat because you use Pam to cook it.

That sounds good.... bookmarking for future reference.

I love breakfast, and allocate quite a few calories to it, as a good breakfast will fill me up for most of the day. I tend to have one of the following:

-2 soft-boiled eggs with 1 slice grainy toast
-Half a Bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon, red onion, avocado
-Other half of bagel, toasted, with avocado, bacon, tomato
-Oats with chia, skim milk, brown sugar/,maple syrup
-Greek yoghurt with frozen raspberries/mango, chia, brazil nuts, honey
-Grainy toast with hummus, avocado, sliced roast beef, peri-peri salt
-Quest bar and giant coffee (when I'm in a rush haha)
-Grain toast with bocconcini, tomato, basil, pepper

I also always have a coffee (giant on coffee, light on milk, no sugar) with/after breakfast, and everyone knows not to speak to me until that is finished! :laugh:

My daily breakfast is 2 eggs cooked with the yolk a bit runny and 1/2 cup rolled oats with Polaner Sugar Free Blackberry jam. So good I actually look forward to eating it every morning!

Here lately I have been warming up veggies left over from the previous dinner meal.
Old fashioned oatmeal and 1 pc wheat toast, plain.
5-6 wheat crackers with 1tbsp of crunchy peanut butter

Basically just depends on my mood

Sweet potatoes are nice in the morning, I usually roast several at once and keep them in the refrigerator. I'll eat them with chicken sausage or sometimes a little turkey or chicken. Hummus with vegetable sticks is nice in the morning also.

I love ricotta mixed with a bit of honey and vanilla extract on toast or French toast, with fruit.

My breakfasts always includes coffee & almost always includes a banana. A few things I go between: A banana & PB2 [especially the chocolate kind], cereal with 2% milk [I like crunchy raisin bran best, but lately I've had chocolate cheerios], instant oatmeal with a little honey mixed in, a Nature Valley sweet & salty granola bar, 40-calorie toast with margarine, scrambled eggs [1 whole egg & 1 serving of egg whites] with turkey and cheese, & sometimes in a real pinch, a Jimmy Dean Delights breakfast bowl - lately I've been really into the Harvest Blend ones, which I think have been discontinued [I've been buying them at a grocery outlet].

Breakfast is my favorite because it's the easiest meal for me to shop for & to throw together on any given day.

ETA: Didn't realize you said you wanted to cut out carbs & such for breakfast [clearly I can't read]. That destroys pretty much all of my ideas. Why make your life difficult for no reason? EAT THE CARBS. Really, they're not going to kill you.

Egg white omelet with bacon and 2% cheese

I have egg whites and 2% slices of cheese in the fridge and pre-cooked pork bacon in the freezer. Every day on medium heat I cook the bacon (two or three pieces) for a minute or two to get it crispy, remove it from the pan and wipe out the grease. Then I pour in egg white and throw a lid on to cook through. When it's solid I break the cheese and bacon over one half of the egg, flip the other side over for an omelet and have this with some coffee. Easy, fast (egg whites and pre-cooked bacon both cook super fast) and low calorie.

I don't like yogurt, am not full after oatmeal (freak of nature), and try to limit bread so this is perfect for me to get in a solid meal without a lot of carbs in the process.

With coffee (sugar and 1% milk), egg white, cheese and three slices of bacon my calories come out to about 320 for the meal. 9 g carbs, 38 g protein, 13 g fat.

I pre-made egg frittatas last night for this week. In a jumbo muffin pan I added 2 scrambled eggs each, chopped spinach, green onion and feta cheese and baked for 30min. I wrapped them in foil and just take one and heat up for 45 seconds when I get to work. They are yummy and you can add whatever you want. I think I will make some next with bacon and mushrooms and cheddar.

I would have Greek Yoghurt for my breakfast with some blueberries. Also some grapes and usually a cup of coffee. At the weekend I would chop and change this - for example, an omelette with lots of veg or making a pancake from scratch. Or even scrambled eggs. I like having a protein filled breakfast. Helps set me up for the day and I feel full.

I have yogurt and fruit with bran flakes, with some walnuts and chia seeds thrown in.
