Breakfast help!!!

What about homemade muffins? Like the seeded ones? I have got a recipe for them and they are 200 calories or less as they have a couple of variations in the book. Would that be ok? Xx

Definitely I love fruit and seed muffins for breakfast!! I make mine with wholemeal flour, yoghurt, fruit (apple purée, banana, raisons and raspberries) and poppy and sunflower seeds. Depending on the amount/type of fruit you use they can be quite high in sugar which you may need to consider when planning food for the rest of the day. They also freeze really well. I do a massive tray bake, portion, freeze, and then defrost in the microwave - 2 mins and I've got a delicious, warm home made muffin for breakfast

My go-to is four egg organic or free range egg whites (I don't like egg yolk)

Why not boil a dozen or two eggs so they are their to grab and go!? An egg, some yogurt and grapes gets you some protein to hold you over a bit...

I've gotten out of the mindset of needing to eat 'breakfast foods' for breakfast only...

I often do eggs, bacon or sausage, and a veg and a good fat like avocado,
Or a cottage cheese egg scramble
Or ham egg cups done in muffin tin in oven do I can grab all week.
Left overs from supper ( protein, veg)

Protein and good fats keep me full til lunch

My new favourite breakfast is Coco-Nutty Granola, you can find the recipe on the I Quit Sugar website. I use honey rather than Rice Malt Syrup, and I use only half the coconut oil it suggests. I have half a cup of it with half a cup of Greek yogurt. Can be a bit high in calories if you have more than half a cup, but it's a pretty healthy recipe and the nuts and coconut oil mean I often don't get hungry until late afternoon, so the calorie budget balances out.

Also, its really easy to make, and you can make a big batch so you can just use it like normal cereal. I think you can freeze it too, although I havent tried that myself!

Its nutritious, energising and super tasty!!

I eat a LOT of eggs.

I also love breakfast casseroles, as you can make them ahead and divide them into individual servings for grab and go. There are tons of great recipes online and you can add whatever ingredients you like; protein and veggies are my go-tos.

I also love muffins, I found a great recipe for oatmeal flaxseed muffins on a blog called ueberfit this past weekend.

I don't always eat "just" breakfast food for breakfast. Sometimes I will have some turkey franks and cottage cheese, whatever strikes my fancy that day.

Good luck on your journey!

I'm trying something new. Last night I scrambled 6 eggs added chopped onion, green peppers, mushrooms, crumbled turkey sausage and a small pinch of shredded cheese and poured them into 6 muffin tin pan and baked at 350 for 25 minutes. This morning i grabbed two and heated in the microwave and they hit the spot and I have breakfast for two more days.

Since I have to get up so early ( 4:30) and am not hungry then, I have a Quest bar for breakfast during my first break at work. The quality of the protein is excellent and there's a lot of it (20 grams). My favorite flavors are cinnamon roll and coconut cashew. They have about170 calories and are dense and chewy. Granted, they don't look very appealing but they taste fantastic!

I have 2 hard-boiled eggs for breakfast - they're delicious, low-calorie, low-carb, and filling too! No salt or anything - just the eggs.

Hey! I'm not sure if this breakfast option has already been posted by someone else but I recently discovered an awesome raw oats breakfast (and would highly recommend it!). So not only does it keep you feeling full for the longest but it's also super simple and quick to make (since you're making it in advance). Basically you take 1/4 -1/2 cup of raw oats (instant or not, doesn't really matter I think) and put it into a Mason jar with all your favorite fixings (as in fruits and spices). Then add an equal amount of milk or water (or both if you want) for the oaks to soak in. After that, you just store it in the fridge overnight and in the morning you'll have a kick *kitten* breakfast all made up for you to eat Here are a couple of ways I've made it....

Option 1: 1/4 cup oats, 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 cup blueberries (and if you must use sugar, I'd suggest going for honey or brown)

Option 2: 1/4 cup oats, 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, dash of cinnamon, 1/2 banana, 1/2 tsp brown sugar

Option 3: 1/4 cup oats, 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 cup strawberries, dash of nutmeg

In this case, I've gone for 1/4 cup but you can definitely have 1/2 cup and still lose weight! I started out eating 1/2 cup but then found myself feeling full after consuming only half of the mixture. Anyway all the best of luck to you!

Your calorie intake looks a little low so you should have some room to play with your breakfast. I usually opt for an apple or banana and yogurt. You could also try some granola or something with 2% milk. Hard boiled eggs are a great thing to make ahead of time and easy to grab on your way out. Maybe some slices of cheese and tomato slices with black pepper as well. You can definitely afford some more calories to get up to that 1200 recommended minimum. Fruit is a good way to do that, toast and peanut butter and honey (yum!).

Left overs from supper ( protein, veg)

I do that a lot, for simplicity's sake, and b/c I dislike overly eggy-tasting food.

Egg Muffin Tin (Egg White/Egg Mixture Ground Turkey, Sage, Onions, Mushrooms)

- I take a big bowl and mix 2/3rds Egg White to Eggs and then add cooked Ground Turkey, Sausage, Peppers, Onions, Mushrooms, Cheese, Bacon (or Turkey for less calories). Anything you can think of then I pour that mixture into Large Muffin Tins (I went and bought one that you can make 12 at a time). Throw that in the oven till eggs are cooked and done. It's extremely easy to portion and I typically will eat 2 a day. It's been a while since I've made them but they're high in protein and low in calories.

Overnight Oatmeal (tons of flavor options we both pick one and try them out)
- Saw a website that had a ton of these I just can't find it quickly right now. A Google/MFP search should find them.

Egg white scramble with spinach, peppers, mushroom and onion + canadian bacon + strawberries and/or blackberries. If you want to add some creaminess and flavor to your eggs, add a wedge of laughing cow swiss cheese.
