    When I leave the house at 6:30 am I eat a protein bar and a cheese stick with about 16 oz. of coffee. Then around 9:00 am I eat a boiled egg, a whole tomato (about 180g), a serving of saltine crackers (5) and about 2 oz. of boneless pork chop.

    I just started a few weeks ago. We already had a bunch of packaged breakfast bars in the pantry. I'm trying to finish those off. They're not filling for the amount of calories they have. When they're done, I'm going to try to make a two-egg cheese and onion omelette in the mornings. That's about the same calories, and it tastes much better and staves off hunger all morning. Maybe then I can quit eating these Kar's Sweet 'n Salty Mix packets of nuts and seeds and M&Ms that we bought at Sam's Club for a snack in the morning. Those are packed with calories, too. In case you can't tell, I hate to waste.

    Porridge-with 30g rolled oats, cooked on stove in 180ml low fat milk, then once cooked, I add a teaspoon of honey, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, about 30g banana sliced, and 15g walnuts on top. Yummy and filling!

    I like Brekky smoothies with some berries, banana, protein, yogurt & oats in them also, they fill me up really well.

    My go to breakfast during the week is a whole wheat bagel thin with natural peanut butter and a protein shake. Then I'm off to the gym. And a protein shake with chocolate protein powder, instant coffee and pb2 when I leave the gym. That holds me to about 11:30ish.. On the weekends its a english muffin, scrambled eggs and turkey bacon.

    I am pretty bad for not eating breakfast. My quick go-to is a Slim Fast shake mixed with coffee and ice (so...iced coffee?) Sometimes I'll have a morning snack a few hours after.. I keep it in a coffee thermos to make sure I drink it slowly and that it stays cold. If I'm in a particularly sour mood, I'll throw in a bit of Truvia to sweeten it a bit.

    Homemade muffins. I have a lot or recipies for healthier muffins (no oils, minimal to no added sugars, whole grains). Each one comes in at around 100-150 calories each and I fill them with lots of blueberries, raspberries or pumpkin. Keeps me well full until lunchtime or longer.

    Generally I like to have a sourdough english muffin with an over easy egg and a thick slice of bacon on it for breakfast . I don't normally butter the muffin, instead I break open the egg yolk so it soaks into the bread. To drink is a smoothie of apple juice, blueberries, strawberries, and greens.
    Lately though, I've been lazy and haven't felt like putting in the effort to toast a muffin and cook an egg (we pre-cook our bacon for the week) so I've been on an oatmeal kick. I found these things that are basically a ramen cup but they're oatmeal and they come with a little packet of nuts and raisins to mix in. They're pretty nice on days when I'm not all that awake/coherent.
    Weekends are when the bigger breakfasts come out like, biscuits & gravy or bacon & eggs with pancakes and/or hashbrowns.
    Breakfast is my favorite food group ;)

    5 rashers of Bacon, with whole fried egg, mushrooms and sometimes tomato fried in Beef dripping. As I'm on a gluten free low carbs high fat is the order of the day. I do drink 2 litres of water a day so never feel hungry between meals.:laugh:

    (1) Ezekiel 4:9 sprouted grain bread, toasted, with all natural peanut butter (no added sugar), sometimes slice a half banana on it as well, 4 oz. 1% organic milk, and hot tea with Stevia; or (2) organic oatmeal with cinnamon, a bit of sugar or honey, and raisins or blueberries, milk and hot tea. Sometimes lasts until lunchtime, but I take a late morning snack from home just in case, such as an apple and string cheese, or a few nuts, or carrot and celery sticks with hummus.

    Well, I wake up at 5AM to work out, so my "breakfast" really consists of 2-3 things eaten a couple of hours apart.

    5:00 - Quest bar (lifting days only - 4x/week)
    7:30 - Protein smoothie on the way to work
    8:30 - What I call "breakfast" at work

    My work breakfast used to always be oatmeal, which was delicious but left me with fewer calories throughout the day. I decided to have smaller breakfasts so I could eat more for lunch, dinner, and snacks (and dessert, of course). Now I switch it up every 2-3 weeks or alternate between 2 different breakfasts all week.

    This week and next week it's a Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Muffin, nuked in the microwave and topped with a few squirts of spray butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Sooo tasty. That, along with my Quest bar and protein smoothie keep me satisfied until lunch.

    Other breakfast foods I like:
    - 1 cup of Special K protein cereal (dry, because I prefer it that way)
    - 1 Eggo nutrigrain blueberry waffle with Laughing Cow cinnamon cream cheese spread and a drizzle of sugar free syrup
    - Pepperidge Farm pumpkin spice bread, toasted with Jif pumpkin spice whipped peanut butter and a sprinkle of cinnamon
    - Peanut butter banana protein "sandwich" - basically half of a banana, split in half length-wise with a peanut butter/protein powder layer in between
    - Half a cinnamon raisin bagel thin with Laughing Cow cinnamon cream cheese spread
    - Piece of toast with a sliced hard-boiled egg on top with a pinch of salt and/or pepper

    Oh, and coffee, of course.

    On weekends, when I don't have a protein smoothie or a Quest bar, I have a bigger breakfast. I switch off between chocolate protein pancakes and French toast (2-4 slices of pumpkin spice bread with pumpkin spice whipped peanut butter and a few chocolate chips between each slice, and a drizzle of sugar free syrup on top).

    Those probably don't sound all that "healthy," but they fit nicely into my macros and they're delicious. :)

    1 slice honey-chia toast, topped with 1 tbs BP2 and half an apple sliced on top of the PB2! Yummy, feels indulgent, keeps me full until lunch ~151 Calories :)

    I'm really bad about not eating breakfast. I know I know I need to because when I don't I tend to eat badly all day.

    Activia yogurt and Bran Buds cereal, I have been eating the same damn breakfast pretty much every day for probably a decade now....

    My weekday breakfast is usually a protein shake and a piece of fruit or two. When I get to work, I usually have a cup of coffee or tea. That will usually keep me pretty satisfied until lunchtime.

    On weekends, I like to have a big breakfast. I usually go for bacon and eggs, a breakfast burrito or a scramble to fill me up.

    Early riser here so I break my breakfast down into sections for what activities I have going on that morning:

    Typical workweek (morning workout)

    5:45 - Glowing Green Smoothie

    7:45 (After workout) - Organic Protein Shake

    9:00 - Coffee

    Weekend is usually an egg white omelet with veggies and 1 slice of rustic multi-grain bread

    Im on intermittent fasting so I skip breakfast, and go straight to my main meal.

    My first meal today is a full pizza washed down with oatmilk and peanut butter.

    I train fasted, and the idea of eating before working out just makes me feel tired.

    What do you eat for breakfast on a regular morning?
    Does it keep you feeling full until lunchtime?

    Thanks!

    Ideally, it would involve scrambled eggs. In real life, it's often a banana, a slice of seeded whole grain toast with peanut butter, and a glass of milk.

    I have four that I rotate depending on the season and time. Generally...

    Smoothie - Protein powder, almond milk, reduced calorie OJ, frozen fruit (whatever I have in), chia seeds, peanut/almond butter, ground ginger and cinnamon

    Oatmeal - Instant (no sugar added) packet made up with water, protein powder, chia and cinnamon. Topped with a spoon of nut butter and whatever fruit I fancy, generally raspberries.

    Protein pancakes - I follow the "Tone It Up" recipe as I like the consistency. Served with berries and a bit of maple syrup.

    Yoghurt parfait - Greek yoghurt, lots of fruit, low sugar granola

    All of the above are around 300 calories (except the yoghurt - really only have that on days I want to save extra calories for later) and almost always enough to carry me through to lunch.

    Chobani greek yogurt with strawberries and blackberries, I top it off with 1/4 cup KIND quinoa granola clusters at 8:30a. It usually keeps me full until lunch at 12:30, but I try and eat every 3 hours so I have carrots with hummus.

    I have chickens so my go to is eggs.

    usually I will do 2 soft boiled eggs on 2 slices of double fiber whole wheat bread (70 cals/slice) with butter spray
    or
    2 eggs over easy with 2 slices of toast and spray....

    I try to keep hard boiled eggs in the house and yogurt in the house if I am running and need to grab something on the go... like this morning was running late from gym and had to get to fiddle lesson.

    If I do the eggs I do weigh them as I never really know what size my eggs are (this morning they were jumbo) and i am pretty full until early afternoon

    Homemade egg mcmuffin (1 scrambled egg +1 egg white, 1 chicken sausage patty, 1 cheese slice, 1 whole wheat English muffin) and 1/2 grapefruit.

    Works great until about 11 AM, then I start getting hungry and look forward to lunch time.

    I won't eat breakfast unless I am hungry. Around 10 or 11 am my stomach wakes up and I usually just do lunch then.
