What do you eat for breakfast?

Thank you everyone for all the ideas! I know that fats are good for you, I guess that is not what I really meant when I wrote that. Next week I am going to eat a heartier breakfast than I have been and see how it affects the rest of my day.:bigsmile:

:flowerforyou: Just didn't want you to miss out on delicious thangs! :P

I ususally eat eggwhites and quinoa with homemade salsa and cashew cream. If I have worked out hard and noticed that the day before I was super hungry, I will add one egg to the egg whites. I also eat every 2-3 hours and when I get to work I have an apple and carrots so that I don't overdo lunch and I have enough energy to work out when I get home from work, before dinner.

HI,

I find porridge made with water instead of milk is good for keeping me fuller longer. The rationale of the water in preference to milk is I can increase the normal 40g serving to 50g this comes in at only 277 calories. Whereas 40g made with 125 ml semi skimmed milk is just over 100 calories more but has less oats. The numbers include a banana chopped into the porridge

I like eat full-fat greek yogurt, berries or some kind of fruit and a belvita bar mixed in. The bar is just cause they were on sale - sometimes it cereal, sometimes its granola, etc. etc.

With coffee of course.

Sometimes, if I know I'm going to have a crazy workout day/weekend - I'll add a protein shake to that too. Kinda like pre-gaming. I don't know if there is science behind it but it makes me feel better so I do it.

Agree you might need more than 1200 calories for a start. Also, if you pre-organise what to eat when you get back from working out it might help. If i leave myself hungry for too long and have to prepare something afterwards, it starts to get more and more likely I'll grab and eat stuff without thinking.

I try to think outside the box of breakfast, lunch etc. And I re-named them 'first, second, third meal' and snacks plus a 'still hungry' section. I portion my food out accordingly, and it doesn't matter if its not breakfast food that I eat for my 'first meal'. Who says you can't have lunch foods then? might be a lot more filling than typical brekky foods you had in mind, because I'd say most breakfast foods don't have a lot of protein, but carbs and sugar.
I'd pick something like that, or if it's a breakfast food, something high in protein or perhaps try a protein smoothie or something.

I don't know if they have them over there, but I found having high protein Weetbix with zero fat milk and a little sliced bananas, berries etc very filling. Or if you have time, an omelette with whatever you've got on hand might do the trick. I usually chuck in some shaved turkey or chicken breast, or leftover meat, veggies etc.

I have protein shakes for breakfast. But i like to have the hearty breakfast food for dinner sometimes.. mmmmm omelettes

Yum...omelettes!!♡

Also, random note: your white mage pp is adorables!

Final Fantasy FTW! I lost my original profile pic somehow and I'm at work so White Mage it is! I'm doing poached eggs with some cheesy sauce for breakfast on saturday. I've got it all planned out already

I eat 2 or 3 eggs and then bacon or a sausage, plus broccoli if I have it, or mushrooms. It fills me up until 12 or so, unless I have to work (which I work at 6am usually, so I am eating at around 5, and then I'm hungry at 10 or so, and I'll have a KIND bar).

I love Atkins protein shakes. They taste awful, but keep me full for about two hours. Which then, after work in the morning, I go to the gym, so that knocks off another hour and I eat again around lunch time.
