what do you eat for breakfast?!

I usually have NO time to eat in the morning with getting 2 small kids ready and being to work by 8 so, I usually take a banana or apple. I will also mix a weight watchers smoothie and take that along. Surprisingly, the smoothie keeps me super full until I eat lunch. Carrot sticks are a good choice too

Have you tried a smoothy or whey protein or soy protein shakes or powder? They are usually easy on the stomach and a goos souce of protein. Good way to start the day when your stomach says "i don't want to!"

I have to get up super early for work too, and have a hard time stomaching anything that early. So when I get up, I will have an ounce of cheese or a piece of dark chocolate(!). Then a couple hours later at work (8 or 9) I'll have a boiled egg and fruit or turkey sausage, and coffee.

I usually just eat fresh fruit, whatever is in season. Right now I am into tangerines (32 calories). I usually eat 2 each morning. Today however I am eating a cup of watermelon (46 calories)) and a tangerine. I don't like to eat something heavy for breakfast either, so this satisfies me and is low in calorie intake. :happy:

i had cottage cheese and i mixed in blackberry preserves, and fresh blackberries.

I like to put a slice of Ezekiel sprouted grain bread in the toasted just to get it soft and warm, then spread 1 tsp of peanut butter on it. I love it with my morning coffee. I'm not much of a breakfast eater, so this works for me.

I never used to eat breakfast, a coffee was all i used to have, but i just made myself eat breakfast for a few days, something like poached egg on toast, branflakes or muesli and after a few days or so i started waking up and actually wanted to eat breakfast, now its the first thing i do, put the kettle on and start to make whatever i fancy that morning.

I get up at 6am and don't eat breakfast til 9, when I get to work. When I wake up it's all about getting me, my husband and my son out the door to work/grandma's house!

I try to alternate breakfasts cause I get sick of the same thing over and over as well. One week I will have 2 hardboiled eggs and a fruit. Then the next week I will have 2 plain rice cakes (the bigger ones, not the chip size ones) with 1 tablespoon of apple butter on each with a fruit. Special K cereal is also yummy with skim milk! I also like fat free vanilla yogurt with a frozen fruit in it!

If you notice, I always have a fruit with my breakfast. That's because fruit helps keep me full longer and keeps that nauseating feeling at bay!

I say if you want a fried egg, eat it. I sometimes make a fried egg for my huevos rancheros and I just fry it in 1/2 pat of butter. That adds only like 18 calories and 2g fat...but, tastes yummy . And if that's the kinda breakfast you can get down, go for it.

I usually have scrambled eggs w/ spinach or cheese. Fiber One bars I'll eat on days when I'm in a hurry or feel a little sick.

If you have more time, what about huevos rancheros? I make it low cal by just heating up a corn tortilla (about 60 cals), adding a fried egg (again in 1/2 pat butter), a little black beans, lettuce, and salsa. This has lots of protein and comes in at less than 250 cals. And, it doesnt taste super breakfasty if that isn't your thing.

I feel excatly the same as you in the morning so I make myself a smoothie. Here's my little recipe:

1 c. raw spinach
handful of frozen blueberries
1c. your favorite juice (I use v8 fusion)
1/4 c. non fat yogurt PLAIN
1/2 c. of your favorite frozen fruit (pineapple, mango, rasberries, etc)
1 medium banana
2 tbsp. flax meal *optional

Blend

Makes 2 servings and it's a little over 315 calories, so a little over 150 cals a serving

This smoothie helps with the hunger pains I start feeling around 8am because I had skipped breakfast. If you still can't stomach a smoothie eat a handful of nuts and drink some water and juice on your way to work.

I totally understand your dilemma, I get nausea if I eat too early in the morning too.

I pretty much live and die by cereal for breakfast, and I try to stick to the healthier ones, but I need something a little sweet. Plain bran or Wheaties are a no go for me, but I stick to Special K, Honey Bunches of Oats, or Honey Nut Cheerios. I love eggs and omelette's, but I usually don't have the time to make them. I'm going to try to start eating oatmeal in the mornings now too. We'll see how that goes for me though.

Try cooking some of your breakfast ahead. I chop up mushrooms, green pepper, yellow pepper, and tomato's and sautee ( for the entire week). Then in the morning I use my griddle to cook 1/4 cup egg beater (30 cal) and reheat mixture ( above) that makes a tasty filling omlet for 60-70 cal. Finish with 1 peice Sara Lee 45 calorie bread and 1 peice of turkey bacon (25 cal). You have breakfast for under 200 calories.
