What is your go-to breakfast?

My usual breakfast is 1/4 cup (dry weight) Whole grain Cereal consisting of steel cut oats, bulgar, buckwheat cooked up with a 1/4 cup of raisins and 2 Tbl. ground fresh peanuts, cooled off with a splash of almond milk and a little Equal. And most important Black Strong Coffee. It will hold me till lunch unless I'm on a long hard ride then I may need a S.Bch. To Go Bar or a piece of oatcake to tide me over.

Since it's healthy to have about half your calories for breakfast (linked to greater weight loss), I do that.
I almost always have:
1 banana
12 oz skim milk + 1 serving Carnation instant breakfast + 2 T malted milk powder
1 slice Brownberry whole wheat bread + 1.5 T Skippy natural peanut butter

8 egg whites and half cup steel oats with a cup of black coffee and 3 splenda packets

A frittata with spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, bacon or sausage, herbs, onion, hot peppers, and whatever else I might have that sounds good. This reminds me that I haven't made one in a while but I love them.

Lately it's been a protein shake with Optimum Nutrition vanilla ice cream flavor and milk.

Oh, and coffee. Always coffee.

I have some type of lean red meat, egg-whites, cheddar cheese and Mrs. Dash almost every morning. Sometimes I'll add fruit or a tomato (or I'll save those for something else I have planned for another meal that day). And yes...that totally keeps me full for a very, very long time.

Subway...

Low fat plain yoghurt- a full cup
Over a ½ cup frozen blueberries or now a cut up peach or nectarine
With 1/3 cup bran buds or grapenuts for a topping

½ my fibre requirement, calcium, protein, wonderful fruit and crunch all in one.
Good staying power
Oh, and a cuppa.

I don't have a go-to breakfast, I make & eat whatever I wake up craving that day.

Be it Oatmeal, French Toast, Denver Omelet, Chorizo, Egg & Potato Burrito, etc.

I HATE repeating meals, unless it's like ridiculously delicious and slightly addicting >.<

Feel free to add me and view my Food Diary for ideas. I'm always full and satisfied.

I also post pictures and recipe links of ALL my daily meals.

It's just another way to keep me accountable!

Pancakes, IHOP if possible. I need to keep it to max 4 with no syrup.

I just started this bulletproof coffee thing and so far it has been a pretty good replacement for the huge breakfast meals I usually eat.

:huh: :noway: :grumble:

Most days I have "Overnight Oatmeal" for breakfast.

1/3 cup old fashioned oats (Not instant)
1/3 cup milk (I use almond)
1/4 cup 0% greek yogurt (thick and creamy with tons of protein but no extra fat)
2 tsp chia seeds
2 tsp ground flaxseed
1 Tbsp raw honey

optional mix ins: whatever fruit/nuts you want. I almost always go with a Tbsp of slivered almonds for crunch and 6-8 frozen raspberries.

Stir it all together, and let it sit in the fridge overnight. In the morning it's thickened up and the oats are soft, and it's very yummy and filling. And since I make it the night before, I don't have to worry about making myself breakfast in the morning when things are crazy rushed.

Oatmeal, raisins, apple.

I have a few breakfast items in rotation: one is the Trader Joe's High Fiber fruit and nut cereal with a cup of berries and soy milk on top, another is 3 scrambled egg whites with a cup of steamed broccoli and a tablespoon of parmesan, another is overnight oats--1/2 cup old-fashioned oatmeal soaked in a jar with 1/2 cup water, top with 1/2 cup fat free plain greek yogurt. layer those three things, don't stir-stick in the fridge overnight. in the morning, stir and top with 1/2 cup berries. the three 1/2 cup items help me remember the recipe!!! I make the overnight oats in a mason jar so I can take it with me if I need to and I often eat that for lunch if I didn't have it for breakfast. If I have more time, I make a green smoothie and have that with a slice of low fat whole grain toast with one tablespoon fresh ground peanut butter. I LOVE breakfast food--it's my favorite thing to go out to eat for and I like all the things I make too!!! These things hold me until lunch. I teach, so I can't be eating in front of the kids, but I do drink green tea all day long.

If I'm having an early lunch I eat PB cheerios with light vanilla soy milk.
If I'm having a later lunch bring on the oatmeal! I find nothing sticks to the ribs quite like oatmeal and a slice of toast. <- Sometimes I misbehave and add chocolate covered craisins.

Most days I make old-fashioned oatmeal with flavored kefir milk. It tastes really good and I don't even need to add any sweetener. I'll add fruit while it's cooking too, blueberries, raspberries etc. sometimes I add cinnamon or vanilla. It does keep me full until lunch.
