    This morning I had half an avocado with habenero sauce and a Miller 64, but I wouldn't recommend that.

    First post on myfitnesspal! But I've been reading the forums for a while now. :)
    As of late, I've been having 1 whole egg plus 1 egg white over a 100 calorie packet of instant grits (prepared as directed of course). Then I put "I can't believe its not butter" 0 calorie spray all over it. Love it when the yoke runs into the grits. Mmmm.

    Well, remember that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. No wonder you can't function. that's too little of a meal to kick start your day. Try to make breakfast the meal that you eat the most calories on and just cut down on the other meals. A good example would be a 2 egg spinach omelette(only 1 yolk) and a morning smoothie like 0% fat milk, a banana and 1 table spoon of peanut butter. That's about 500 calories and should get your morning going. It all depends on your caloric needs.

    Some people find that breakfast gives them increased mood or concentration in the mornings or decreased levels of hunger throughout the day and others report the exact opposite. Breakfast makes some people hungrier or more irritable throughout the day. It's not essential for weight loss and it's not necessary for all people. If someone feels better eating breakfast then they should, but it's not the most important meal of the day for everyone.


    It is the most important meal of the day for everyone if you are trying to be healthy and in shape unless you have a medical condition which prohibits you from eating breakfast and that is highly unlikely.

    1 cup cooked steel cut oats cooked with cinnamon & Honey.. add 1/8 cup walnuts, 1/8 cup pecans... 1/4 cup berries... 1/4 cup no fat plain greek yogurt... see if that don't keep ya going till lunch :).. feel free to remove or add ingredients...

    IE skip the nuts and go with 1 cup cooked oats.. 1 scoop protein powder... 1/4 cup no fat greek yogurt... double the protein...

    the other add ins are for additional health benefits... antioxidants...and some very good micros and minerals to keep the system running normal.

    1 whole fried egg (70 cal) on a toasted english muffin (130 cal). Sometimes with a slice of cheese to change it up, but most of the time just as-is. Been having that for breakfast for the past 2 years more or less.

    Here's what I had this morning:

    2 corn tortillas (70 cal each = 140 cal), 1/2 cup fat-free refried beans (100 cal), 1 egg, fried (80 cal), 1/2 tsp of oil for oiling the pan for the tortillas and egg (20 cal). Total calories 340.

    You could add a spoonful of salsa on this -- I just didn't have any handy today.

    And some fruit along with it.

    omg!!!! we had the exact same thing for breakfast!!! except for the oil, i used olive oil spray....and my tortillas are 50 cals each, beans were 1/4c and it was 2 eggs (i, too., ran out of salsa:()

    I usually stick to eggs (scrambled or fried)..but here's somewhat of what i eat
    2 eggs (can be 2 whole or 1whole and 1 white) + 1/4c refried black beans +1 or 2 corn tortillas+ salsa and coffee
    2 eggs, 110 cal bagel thin, 1 oz neufchatel, coffee
    1 egg and low fat colby jack on wheat toast bread, coffee
    1/2c oatmeal with 1/4c milk, coffee
    Burrito with 1/2oz spicy pork chorizo scrambled into eggs, sometimes cheese and beans depending on my goal for the day, coffee
    multigrain cheerios, special k, regular cheerios, corn flakes 3/4 c or 1 c and 1/2-3/4c milk and coffee
    toasted bread with neufchatel and an egg, coffee

    (the above may have added fruit, but i usually save it for snacking bc i feel pretty full after eating)

    and rarely but i sometimes eat dinner leftovers if they dont mess up my calorie goal for the rest of the day.

    : Hi everyone !! how on earth do any of you loose weight !!!!! I can see all of your breakfasts are dreadful . !!!!
    I have an el casei drink . I live in Spain [ recommended by my kidney specialist] to keep all bacteria in my body healthy. and then either 2 weetabix or 1 shredded wheat plus skimmed milk or 1 poached egg and toast [ wholemeal of course] and fruit juice 22 calories per glass and lots of mineral water .
    sorry if you think I am rude but do you want to loose weight or not ??
    I think we have too much food to eat . I am thinking of 5 to 2 diet to help here doing your calorie counting as well which is really good but add 5 to 2 not every week but I like the idea of avoiding type 2 diabetes !!!!. You are all on the internet read it . Avoid diabetes as well as loosing weight. I have nothing to gain by pointing you in this direction other than hoping you may avoid Diabetes and as you are on this site loose weight
    Good luck in your weight loss and I hope I have given you something to think about as well !!

    I usually have a small-to-medium portion of eggs and bacon, or chicken with some kind of plain veggie, sometimes grilled chicken and bacon if I'm feeling particularly in the mood for meat. I also like toast with a little peanut butter some days when I want something light. Cereal is ok, but it leaves me feeling hungry before long and isn't really worth it for me. Protein helps it stick with me. My breakfast is most peoples 'lunch', since I tend to have just two meals a day and a snack or two.

    Oooh, I forgot, I love to add Avocados into my meals. Either sandwiches or with bacon as a diced topping on other things, as a spread, on it's own too. Mmmm. It's my healthy guilty pleasure.

    Why not? Avocado is great at any meal. :laugh:

    My go-to breakfast is rice and eggs. Normally half a cup of calrose rice and two eggs. I often throw some chopped green onion or salsa. I usually make a big pot of rice early in the week and it carries me all week long.

    Well, as far as I go.....I've been doing this a while and I've been losing weight at a good rate and haven't been deprived much. And what I have for breakfast depends on what I'll be having for lunch and dinner... I think it depends on the person and how much weight you have to lose and how active they are. Some people need lower, realistic calorie deficiencies to help them stick to their weight loss goals. I have a lot of weight to lose, so its going to take me longer and I believe the easier I make it on myself, the more likely I am to stick with this healthier lifestyle.

    Usually it's some type of carb with a good protein/fat source. Sprouted grain or whole wheat bread/rice with beans/eggs/liver/avocado, etc. A fruit as a side is always nice too. Today will be plain oatmeal w/ flaxseeds, egg, sliced banana and a cup of earl grey tea. Oatmeal actually keeps me very full...

    Today I had a piece of toast with Avocado, lime and some salt with a little mango on the side.

    If I want something warm this is one of my FAVORITE options:
    http://ohsheglows.com/2013/09/15/jumbo-chickpea-pancake-a-high-protein-filling-vegan-breakfast-or-lunch/
    Super filling. You can pretty much add whatever veggies you have in the house to the filling and cook it up.

    I like my coffee while Im getting ready, I like to take an instant breakfast shake on the go with me on the way to taking the kids to school and running errands for the day. Breakfast is the hardest meal for me too.
    The frozen breakfast sandwiches are good for me too, but they are at the high end of spending. I need simplicity in the morning.

    I agree with this. Breakfast makes me cranky and makes my belly grumble all day if I eat eggs and toast everyday. I look forward it on my Saturday morning date with hubby, and then the rest of the week is just coffee, or a protein shake, Im good. I will say that the breakfast sandwich, once a week to break the trend, works for me. But the less grease the better. Now, my husband, is exactly opposite, he would need for of those sandwiches every morning, he needs a full breakfast every morning. So, people are different. Agreed.

    I usually choose something quick that I can throw together in 1-2 minutes. One is Magical Breakfast Cream from the French Women Don't Get Fat book. Take 1/2 C plain greek yogurt, add 1tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp honey plus two tablespoons each crushed bran cereal and crushed nuts. (I usually make a big container of the nut/cereal mix in advance so I can just scoop a quarter cup of it into my yogurt and go). I also really love the Garden of Life Raw Meal for making smoothies. It has a ton of fiber and keeps me full until lunch (or beyond). It's not the tastiest powder, but if you have a good blender and mix it with some milk and fruit, it tastes pretty good. If I have time in the morning, I will make an olive oil fried egg with some toast and butter, but it doesn't seem to keep me full as long as the other two do. Good luck!

    Breakfast is my busiest time of day usually so I most times will grab a protein shake and my favorite for right now is the Dymatize Elite XT-Choc Fudge Powder, mixed with Cold Coffee, Matcha Green Tea Powder and seedless cherries. But if have a wk-end when I'm gonna be home with the whole family or something I like Omelettes sometimes with Taco meat and things in them is pretty good and sometimes I will even be weird and have a side of garden green beans with my omelette cuz its pretty good.

    Coffee! With 1 Tbsp. of sugar and 1 Tbsp. of creamer. It's 80 calories I'm not willing to give up. Sometimes I'll have yogurt later in the morning too, but sometimes that's all I have til lunch. I like to eat my calories later in the day so it works for me :)

    30g Protein Shake with a Slice of Whole Wheat Brownberry Toast w/ 1/2 TBSP of butter and Black Coffee is my usual go to. If I am out of my Protein shake like this morning, then I have 2 eggs over easy in its place, but not too often since I need to keep the Cholesterols in check ya know!

    At the moment I am drinking a fresh fruit and veggy smoothie for breakfast. I mix them up, but this morning I had spring greens, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, coconut water and some almonds blitzed together! Yummy.
