Need a better breakfast...Help please!

You could try eating food instead of drinking a smoothie and see if that better satiates you.

Try a few eggs and a big side of green vegetables and see how that holds you over as far as blunting hunger.

For a more filling smoothies: add frozen berries, protein powder (containing about 15-20g of protein), milk (for a bit more calories), chia seeds, spinach (you can't taste it in smoothies).

I make a lot of smoothies so if you have any questions on eating healthier just ask and add me!!

Liquid stuff doesn't really fill me up either. You could try apples and pb, I've been eating that lately. Now trying that and blueberries. Same stuff that goes into the smoothie eaten by it's might help more. Cut the juice though if you're eating the fruit. Juice is crazy full of sugar without the good stuff of the fruit.

Saute a cup of spinach in a skillet, add half cup cooked quinoa and 2 oz cooked turkey to warm, add 1 egg and half cup egg whites, scramble. Top with salsa and Whaallaa! Less than 350 calories and protein packed. So filling and keeps you satisfied for hours. And if it sounds like a lot of work, it only takes less than 10 minutes if you have precook the quinoa and turkey. Plus turkey and quinoa is great to have hanging around for easy meals anyway.

Buy a quality non stick pan and make an omelette. Use egg whites, four tablespoons is 20 grams protein and 100 calories.

If you're pressed for time, get your veggies pre chopped from a salad bar.

I'm eating one right now.

Four Servings egg whites
One oz cabots. Hunters sharp cheddar
3 oz pork tenderloin
1/3 An avocado
Onions
Mushrooms
Broccoli rabe
Salt pepper hot sauce

That sounds like a ton of ingredients but two are leftover from dinner last night, and if you use the salad bar trick the whole thing will take ten minutes.

Nutrition is 540/15/54 calories carbs protein. Obviously you can adjust that up and down, and I'm eating it for lunch and as a post workout meal to boot.

I'd eat this.

Keep in mind I did a hard workout an hour before, I eat a scaled back version for breakfast a lot with goat cheese instead of cheddar and chicken instead of pork, and less of everything else. The avocado adds an extra 100 calories but is chock full of goodness.

The good nonstick allows you to just use a single spray of cooking oil of choice.

I've been making them with almond milk babnanas adn 1/4 cup oatmeal..the bananas are also crazy high in sugar

Plus I have been doing the couch to 5 K and one the days I jog, I am STARVING all morning; eggs mat be the way to go
Thank you!

My other go to breakfast is two hard boiled eggs. I like the omega 3 organics but that's just me. Its good to get some omega 3s early in the day.

I actually like a shake for breakfast though, but my shakes are big and filling, around 450 calories, though I usually save a third or so for an afternoon snack.

Plain Greek yogurt
Leafy green of choice
Scoop or scoop and a half protein
2 T flax seed meal
Handful of berries
Half a frozen banana
Almond butter if I'm feeling froggy

I'm surety ere are a million studies that show this, but if you eat a big breakfast you will eat smaller meals throughout the day. I had to force myself to start doing this. I used to drink coffee and call it breakfast, then be starving at 10, eat a granola bar, and then eat a giant lunch and become comatose.

I tried shakes also I like real food. I have 2 servings steel cut oats and one serving Fage Total 34g Protien and 67g Carb 17g of Fat. Fills me right up for about 4 hours for a total of 560 caloires.
Also I eat a bananna and a apple a day sometimes ill even eat two banannas oh my.

There is no protein or really even any fat in there. You need those things to keep satiated.

Check the label of that almond milk. It's basically flavored water with some calcium.

My usual morning protein shake looks something like this:
2 scoops whey protein powder
1 serving fruit
1 cup Almond milk
1 cup spinach
Ice

Sometimes I add peanut butter. I'm always full for at least 4-5 hours.

ETA: You're not staying full because there's nothing in your smoothie to keep you full. Add protein and fats. Or have your smoothie with eggs and bacon. Or have a muffin. Unless you have a medical condition, it doesn't really matter what you eat. As long as you're in a calorie deficit, you'll lose weight.

I've been doing refrigerator oatmeal, which is really filling.

It's basically 1/4 cup of rolled oats, a 1/4 cup of greek yogurt, a 1/4 cup of milk and 1 1/2 tablespoons chia. Then you add fruit, sweetener and flavoring. It keeps really well in the fridge for a week and is very filling.

I pair it with two slices of bacon.

i've never heard of this. Thank you.

They're awesome. I add chopped walnuts and dried cranberries to mine usually. Chia is optional tho.

Thank you for this! I just created the recipe so I can use it regularly! I've gotten so sick of my oatmeal every morning and am excited for something savory in the morning! Yay! I plan to make individual baggies of the quinoa, turkey, and spinach and freeze them. Pull them out at night to defrost in the fridge, cook 'em up real quick, add an egg, top with salsa.... SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!!!
