what do you have for breakfast?

I've been trying to cut out the calories and i'm doing alright except for breakfast.
i'd pretty much always had 2 gluten free toast with margerine+ jam and coffee and i need something filling in the morning as otherwise i can't function.
Any sugestions beyond scrambled eggs? any help will be greatly appreciated.

My breakfast pretty much every morning is:
12 oz skim milk + 1 serving Carnation instant breakfast + 2T malted milk powder
1 slice whole wheat bread + 1.5T peanut butter
1 banana
That's a bit over 600 cal, which is a bit under half my calories for the day (1650).

In winter, sometimes I'll have a big bowl of oatmeal with walnuts, raisins, & honey, but there's not much protein there to keep me satisfied. Have to try adding protein powder or nut butter sometime. Almond sounds good.

Nonfat Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese) with fruit & nuts. Maybe add some dry oatmeal for texture.

Whole-grain waffles with fruit.

I have two go-to brekkies:

2% plain greek yogurt with some berries and a tbsp of hemp hearts
steel-cut oats with some berries and a splash of milk

Sometimes I add a bit of honey.

If I have some extra time in the morning I will make myself scrambled eggs or a spinach omelette.

how on earth do any of you loose weight !!!!! I can see all of your breakfasts are dreadful . !!!!

I lose weight by eating fewer calories than my body needs.
That's the only way to lose weight, short of amputation or liposuction.
And most of what's been described here (other than the people saying "coffee & toast") are actually pretty decent.
They're nutritious and filling, and some of them have enough calories.

I have an el casei drink . I live in Spain [ recommended by my kidney specialist] to keep all bacteria in my body healthy.

So you have some kidney condition, and had to move to Spain to deal with it.
(And why would moving to Spain have any effect on the bacteria in your body?)
Right there, you're not like most other people, so what your kidney specialist suggests for your condition is unlikely to apply to normal people.
And kidney specialists are not bacteriologists. Wouldn't take his advice about keeping bacteria happy, esp. since there aren't supposed to be any in the kidneys or bladder.

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 .

So you're ignoring science & going for a very low calorie breakfast. Also, drinking juice generally isn't the best way to get nutrition, unless you're making it yourself from whole fruits / vegetables, and in that case why not eat the real food?

sorry if you think I am rude but do you want to loose weight or not ??

Yes, I think you're rude, and no, I don't want to loose weight.
I have, however, been quite successful so far at losing weight, and will continue to do so.
My doctor (endocrinologist who oversees the weight loss clinic) is quite pleased with my progress.

I think we have too much food to eat .

Well, yeah, that's why people gain weight.

I like the idea of avoiding type 2 diabetes !!!!. You are all on the internet read it . Avoid diabetes as well as loosing weight.

That word you keep using. I do not think it means what you think it means.

But yes, for many people losing weight will reduce their chances of getting diabetes.
Notice that 2 of the studies I referenced above talk about insulin sensitivity and fasting glucose, measures linked to diabetes.

And are you really one to be lecturing others about what we need to eat to lose weight?

I have lost 20lbs since January

Since this is August, that's less than 3 lb per month. (And you've joined the "20 lb by Christmas" group?)

my favorite meal of the day, a big breakfast!!
usually egg whites with hummus, and a big ole bowl of overnight oats with almond milk and blueberries

Here's my staples:
Oatmeal with fruit or 1 tbsp pb and 1 tbsp sf hot cocoa
Lite English Muffin with 1 tbsp pb and 1 tbsp sf jelly
Eas Low Carb Protein Shake

Maple Brown Sugar oatmeal or a green smoothie.

I love the whole grain bagel thins with 2% cheese and sliced turkey. Or low fat cream cheese.

Yogurt with chia seeds and fruit, oatmeal with blueberries and truvia, breakfast burritos with egg whites, whole grain tortilla, 2% cheese and turkey sausage or chopped ham.

Vanilla greek yogurt with a touch of chocolate protein powder with fresh blueberries and raspberries.

I have oatmeal a lot, grits sometimes, toast sometimes, occasionally eggs and bacon (just one piece). :bigsmile:

50g oats, 200ml rice milk, 20g walnuts, 80g blueberries, sweetener and cinnamon...

to be precise 0.0

and black coffee!

I usually have light Greek yogurt with some fruit or the oatmeal that doesn't come in the packets with some fruit or unpasteurized honey.

One slice of sprouted grain whole wheat (low sodium) toast, a sprinkling (10g) of goat cheese, a slice of bacon (because screw it, I want freaking bacon), and an egg white. Comes out around 179 calories. Then I have some room to add in fruit or something else about two hours later. (As I'm one of those folks who eats about every 2 hours)

1/4 cup Oatmeal
1/4 cup Oat Bran (combined with Oatmeal)
2 tsp Almond butter in Oatmeal mixture after cooked
1/4 tsp Flax seed
1/4 tsp sugar
Cinnamon
14 Almonds or 1 boiled egg

Usually lunch... Haha.

Today it was Spaghetti Squash with homemade spaghetti sauce...
