I currently am eating PB toast on whole wheat bread. I do not have lunch until roughly 11 o clock. My breakfast has to tide me over from about 7 until 11. After that, my lunch carries me over until my after work/pre practice snack.

My PB toast has aided me for years in losing weight, however I am starting to get really tired of it. I have friends that simply put oatmeal into a tupperware container.... add water, nuke it... add PB and Whey PP.

Im looking for some ideas to help assist the PB toast...

THanks everyone.

    Honestly the most filling breakfast for me has been oatmeal with nut butter - can be hazelnut, peanut, almond, anything really... for 300ish calories it's the best I've found, if I want anything else to fill me up as much it's at least 500 calories worth of food.

    I make homemade breakfast sandwiches with an egg, half a slice of cheese, and two slices of bacon on a multigrain or wheat english muffin. Easy peasy breakfast, fits my macros for the morning, and keeps me full until lunch.

    Homemade granola. Makes a big amount, store in a large jar or covered container. 1/3 cup (about 227 calories) keeps me pretty satisfied all morning: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/edit/51191696 You can add or delete whatever fruit/nuts you like.

    Any day that I have eggs and oatmeal I find myself almost skipping lunch.

    I love toast with one or two scrambled eggs, some veggies and a tablespoon of nut butter.

    My most filling breakfast is
    1/3 c. oats, made with water
    add 1T flax seed
    0.5T peanut butter
    1 scoop chocolate protein powder
    1 container 80 calorie greek yogurt

    It is delicious, clocks in at about 450 calories, and keeps me full 5-6 hours.

    I do a fruit smoothie (homemade) and 1/4 cup of dry roasted almonds. It comes to somewhere around 350 calories and keeps me full until lunch. Bonus for me is that I can take it to work and have breakfast around 8 AM instead of earlier, and I do lunch around noon.

    There are lots of recipes for steel cut oatmeal in the crockpot. I make a batch on Sunday night and put it into individual bowls. It's good for a few days and its very filling. And so easy peasy!

    Last week, I ate cinnamon Life cereal with soy milk and banana for breakfast and did not need a snack before lunch.

    I cannot tell everyone how much I love the protein pancakes! Filling, high in protein, low in calories. It's so easy. I make them and 1/2 one morning and have 1/2 the next. One batch is one serving (337 calories) but it is way too much. I like mine with less than 1/4 c. of light syrup.

    Otherwise I like Greek yogurt with Bear Naked granola.

    2 eggs over easy on 2 pieces whole wheat toast.

    Or even a turkey wrap for breakfast. Wheat tortilla, 2 or 3 ounces of turkey 1/4 cup of moz. cheese and nuke it. Or swap turkey for a scrambled egg.

    Always something with protein for me to keep me full all morning to get to lunch time.

    I have either cold overnight oats (almond milk, oats, honey, fruit, and nuts) or an english muffin with avocado and eggs. Both options are super quick to make and fill me up for a fair while.

    Bacon, lettuce and tomato on toast. With mayo. Very satisfying and 300 calories.

    Over night steel cut oats, 150 calories. You can add any fixins you like. Sticks to your ribs thru out the morning and easy to make.

    4 cups boiling water
    Pinch salt
    1 cup steel cut oats

    Add oats to boiling salted water and bring back to rolling boil.
    Cover pot with lid, turn off stove and go to bed.
    When you get up, stir and put in 4 equal 1 cup bowls.
    Keep in fridge, microwave as needed.

    I like to mix 1 cup of non-fat greek yogurt with one of those dole fruit cups in 100% juice (or 1/2 cup of fruit of your choice), and then i throw in some shredded wheat and it keeps me pretty full and happy! :) and it is super quick and easy. :)

    I want to do this. My nephew swears by shredded wheat (no sugar, no sodium, carbs and protein, vitamins/minerals and filling), but I just am not a cereal person anymore. This I will have to try. I'm putting this on my grocery list! Thanks.

    This egg recipe is delicious! http://www.fitsugar.com/Jessica-Simpson-Breakfast-35170922 I never cook them as long as it suggests when they go back in the oven because I like my yolk to be really soft.

    I make a french toast casserole with 12 grain bread that is super filling, super easy and you can make a 15 x 10 pan, cut into 12 pieces and have 12 days worth of breakfast in the freezer ready to go~

    1 loaf 12 grain bread (any brand, cut into cubes)
    1 can coconut milk (regular or light)
    1 small container liquid egg whites (equivalent of 10 egg whites)
    1 teaspoon of cinnamon
    1 tablespoon of vanilla
    1/4 cup of Truvia baking blend (stevia)

    Mix that all in a mixing bowl and then put into the baking pan.

    Add any type fruit you want. I have done the following combinations:

    Blueberries and almond slices
    Cranberries and orange zest
    Apples and raisins
    Frozen peaches (thawed and diced up)

    Bake 50 minutes at 350 degrees. With 12 servings, you are set for a couple of weeks of breakfast. I find by the 12th serving I'm usually ready for another type of fruit and then I just make up another batch.

    Depending on the fruit, this is between 215 and 300 calories per serving but holds you through the morning. I usually have a piece of fruit around 10:30 am after eating this around 7 am.

    I've found that 2 large eggs scrambled with 1/4 cup lowfat cheese (usually cooked in a mug in the microwave to save cooking and clean-up time) paired with a piece of whole wheat toast with a little butter holds me over pretty well from about 7am-11:30am or noon. It works better for me than two slices of toast with peanut butter for about the same number of calories (300-350 depending on how much cheese/butter I use).

    I'm not really an egg fan, but I made an egg fritata/cassarole that is fabulous, filling and reheats perfectly!

    I use simply shredded potato's (half the package 1.5c), 6 eggs, whatever meat and veggies I have on hand and usually monterey jack cheese. Throw it all in a glass pan, cook for 30-45 minutes at 350. Let it cool for about half an hour then cut it into even portions and place each piece in a tupperware container.

    I think microwave for 1.5 minutes, and it keeps me full until around 11:30 each day (I do breakfast around 7 daily). Calories (depends on meat and veggies used) range from 230 - 300 calories per helping. The recipe builder with MFP helps me calculate depending on how I make it each week.

    I seen this great idea for making single portion quiches in a muffin pan. I haven't tried it yet because I don't have a muffin pan but all you do is fill up each muffin with an egg and vegies and a lean meat. and maybe some cheese if you want. I think its a great way to get creative and can be made at the beginning of the week. or get yourself one of those microwave egg mcmuffin cookers and make them one at a time. I do this currently. only takes a few minutes. eggs are great sources of protein and vegies are great carbs. both keep you full longer. My usual go to is quick oats but occasionally I switch it up.

    Pancakes

    1/2 cup of oats
    1 egg
    3/4 cup of egg whites
    handful of blueberries (or your fav berry)
    Cinnamon

    Make two big pancakes, top with low cal/no sugar syrup and more Cinnamon. I eat them just about every morning and find them very filling and very good!

    Lazy grab and go breakfast to prep the night before (or several nights before)

    1/4 cup steel cuts oats (150 cal)
    1 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt (130 cal)
    Mix-Ins (??? cal)

    If it's too thick, add in a splash of almond milk, but for me the thicker the better.
    Depending on my meal plan for the day, I might add in fruit, nuts, protein powder (warning: pasty!), or just some spices (cinnamon, nutmeg)

    All this gets jammed into a mason jar to portion out in advance, with mix-ins on top to avoid soaking too much.

    HI! I make a fruit smoothie with skim milk, fat free greek yogurt, a banana and frozen summer berries. Comes in at 155 cals. I read somewhere that smoothies and homemade soups keep you fuller for longer as the food has already been blizted. I have this at 7:30, followed by 100grams of seedless green grapes at 11 and this keeps me going through a12.30 workout. Enjoy!

    6 eggs worth of egg beaters
    3 slices Boars Head american cheese
    6-8 oz grilled skinless boneless chicken breast diced real small
    2 slices turkey bacon diced
    2 turkey sausage patties diced

    mix the 3 meats completely, make a killer big azz lean meat and cheese omelette .....

    about 1000 cal, and 120g protein almost no carbs, and if this don't fill you up, nothing will ...LOL...

    I usually eat one of these right after a very heavy gym session ...

    And hey.... you never said it had to low cal .... you just said filling ......

    so many awesome ideas! I try to keep my breakfast under 300 cals. I do 1 egg with toast with coffee - but I tend to be hungry by lunch time. If I skip toast, I add another egg and I scramble it with feta cheese and basil. Protein keeps me the most full. I might add cottage cheese to this mix. Yesterday I did by a breakfast sandwich at the coffee shop (I think it was like 450 cals) but if I made it at home I can cut the cals I am sure. I saw turkey sausage patties at the store - I might check those out!

    I usually have cottage cheese and fruit. I eat at 7am and usually takes care of me until lunch around 12...although I'm definitely hungry when it's time for lunch.
