    Add a tablespoon or so of almond butter to your smoothies! It really helps to keep you feeling full. Also I usually have a snack btwn breakfast and lunch --a handful of almonds, a kind bar, some carrots, a hardboiled egg, yogurt, etc. It keeps me satisfied and prevents overeating at lunch.

    Core a fresh fall Apple, fill with 2 T. almond butter. Wrap and go. Can prepare night ahead but might get a little brown on edges from oxidation. My kids love this & so do I.

    Adding protein powder to your morning smoothie will definitely help keeping you feel full longer. Many times we add the veggies and fruit but leave out the protein. When I'm on the go, I like to make a protein shake with a powder low in sugars like less than 2g. One scoop of protein powder, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1/2 a serving of a fruit of your choice. I also like to add 1 tbls of peanut butter if I decide on banana for my fruit or just decide no fruit at all. As a previous poster suggested...I like to switch things up and not to "traditional" breakfasts and have things like turkey meatloaf with sautéed asparagus with onions (or any veggie to your liking) and adding a half serving of a fruit. My best weeks have been those where I started my days with a lunch or dinner left over. Good luck!

    That does sound great. When the weather gets cool, add cinnamon to the almond butter and bake that apple!

    Just getting back to MFP and trying to shift into clean-eating. Just wanted to say thanks for this thread! It gave me some great ideas for more options for breakfast and snacks.

    If you add Chia seeds to smoothies they help you feel full. I am not sure if someone mentioned this but they exapand when they are wet. Also I found a recipe where you take a ceramic baking dish and line the bottom with berries of choice, like rasberries and blueberries and bananas. Wash about a cup of steel cut oats and quinoa (or you can just do oats) and lay over the berries and banana. I mix egg whites with some almond milk and vanilla (You can add cinnamon what ever youd like) pour it down the side (so as not to displace everything) and then top with more berries etc... bake it for about 45 min. Its a nice breakfast bake you can cut into squares and eat all week. You can eat it cold or warm with unprocessed honey and milk.

    I know you arent a fan of oatmeal, but this tastes pretty good and is super filling.

    I usually have a raw steak (top sirloin is preferable, the fat in strip loin tastes gross raw), 2 raw eggs and a ton of multivitamins. doesn't taste the best but keeps you satiated until lunch.

    Just kidding about the raw steak!

    In all seriousness: try the following

    1/4 cup raw pumpkin seed kernels
    3/4 cup 0% fat greek yogurt
    1 scoop whey isolate powder
    1/2 cup frozen blueberries

    Delicious, packed with protein, healthy fats, fiber, minerals and vitamins, and takes 2 seconds to put together.

    Delicious, fast and portable. I eat a Van's 8 Whole Grain waffle (they make several varieties including a gluten free) topped with Toffutti vegan cream cheese and pumpkin butter or apple butter from a local farm market. You can do two waffles and eat it like a sandwich. I start work at 7 am and don't get lunch til 1:30, but I can usually take a few minutes to wolf down a greek yogurt, hard boiled egg or a Health Warrior Chia Bar. Coconut is my favorite. Good luck and welcome to the journey to health. I've lost 70 lbs since Feb. 24th :blush:

    Tried this for the first time after seeing someone mention it on MFP. Cut an apple into small chunks. microwave for 1 minute (or bake until apple is semi soft). Mix cooked apple into cottage cheese (as much as desired) add cinnamon, your choice of sweetener (I used cottage cheese with pineapple so I didn't add any sweetener), vanilla, raisins, chopped pecans or walnuts. Put in fridge overnight and eat the next day. The apple and raisins absorb the flavor of the cottage cheese, and it's really yummy.

    Add chia seeds, nut butters or coconut oil to your smoothies and you won't get so hungry.

    I like to mix up chia seeds, oat bran, and dry 5 grain oatmeal with flaxseed before heading to bed. In the morning I add a cup of nonfat greek yogurt and a tablespoon of local maple syrup and mix it all together. For those who don't like cooked oats, I would recommend trying oatmeal in this style. The texture is much better! I stay full from all the fiber and get almost half my daily protein.

    I would also recommend putting oats in a smoothie with fresh fruit and nonfat greek yogurt. Orange juice, banana, greek yougrt, raspberries, strawberries, and pineapple is my favorite, but any one fruit with oj, banana, and yogurt is great!

    I'm a smoothie guy myself. I make a blender full and have half for breakfast and half as a mid-morning snack. Then I make another if I get to work out during lunch and split that for an afternoon snack as well.

    1 cup mixed frozen berries
    1 medium banana
    1 scoop protein powder
    1 tbsp. flax seeds or chia seeds
    1 tbsp. coconut oil
    1 golden delicious apple
    1/2 avocado
    1 cup almond milk
    1 cup water
    1 handful of spinach
    1 handful of kale

    Again, this makes about 32 ounces and I'll drink half for breakfast and half as a snack.
