    Gotta load up in the morning. I use whole grain bagel thin, one egg white, a slice of soy cheese, a slice of soy ham or bologna and a bit of ketchup. It's about 200 calories so I sometimes have two. Tons of protein. The only down side is sodium.

    I don't like eating actual 'food' for breakfast (makes me feel ill), so I blend a protein shake with skim milk and add a tablespoon (sometimes 2) of Peanut butter and a few tablespoons of dry rolled oats with some ice cubes. Makes a nice thick shake and the fiber and protein help keep me full.

    I usually do a half cup (uncooked) plain oatmeal, a handful of blueberries, and a little bit of splenda around 8:30 or 9:00. Then around 10:30-11:00 I'll have a half cup of low fat cottage cheese! OH and LOTS, and LOTS of water!!!

    This is what I was going to suggest. 1 cup of plain cooked oatmeal and a banana chopped up inside it. I am full for at least 4 hours.

    Do you put yogurt in your oats? Have you tried overnight oats? http://katheats.com is a great resource for overnight oats, so simple and delicious. they really keep me sustained.

    SMOOTHIE!! This beats all the rest by far.

    My super-secret recipe:

    1.5 cups Silk Regular Soy Milk
    1 cup frozen strawberries
    1 cup frozen blueberries (the berries are eyeballed, and the ratio can change)
    1/2 banana
    1 TBSP natural peanut butter
    2 scoops Nature's Life Soy Protein - Super-Green Pro-96

    BLEND!

    This breakfast has 641 calories, 68 grams of protein, no added sugar, low glycemic index/load. It is delicious, nutritious and most importantly, it keeps me satisfied all morning -- even till a late (2 PM) lunch. No sugar crashes.

    You can modify the recipe, but I like the balance of flavors.

    Enjoy.

    try cutting your cooking liquid with whole milk, or even half and half, or maybe just a tsp of butter. fiber fills your stomach quickly so you eat less, but grains still digest very quickly. adding a little fat slows down digestion so you stay full longer.

    3 egg white omelet or Protein shake (designer whey chocolate) with a couple of assortment of berries and/or banana mixed in). I use kefir strawberry low fat milk.

    I do the instant oatmeal (I know it crap but I use the high fiber because I get alot of protein from above).

    I sometime will eat a fruit or save it for snack along with a couple of almonds.

    Let me preface my breakfast by saying that I am on maintenance and also exercise in the morning for an hour, so this is by far my biggest/most caloric meal of my day. First, I have a small smoothie (6oz - homemade) when I wake up to "break the fast" and get my metabolism going (plus I am usually starving when I wake up at 5AM). After my workout, dropping my daughter at school and commuting to work (generally 4 hours later), I have a real breakfast. The fruit, oats and nut butter choices vary but this is the typical breakdown:

    4 egg whites
    1/2 to 1 cup fruit (either strawberries, cantalope, peach, plum, grapefruit)
    1 Fage non-fat plain yogurt
    2 servings of hot cereal (rolled oats, kamut, spelt, steel cut oats) OR 1 cup of homemade granola
    1 TBS nut butter (with the hot cereal - granola already includes seeds/nuts)

    Total calories of smoothie and items above 750-950

    It's a lot of food but some days, barely holds me til lunch without a small mid-morning snack.

    Anyone else on maintenance eat this much at breakfast and/or have this experience (i.e., big breakfast still hungry)? Plus I drink A LOT (water or herbal tea both before and after the meal).

    Oatmeal with flax and wheatgerm every morning.
    I also have a snack about 2 hours after breakfast (usually Fage 2% plain and 1/2 cup of fruit)

    Plain protein shakes are not the tastiest; but for a breakfast I will put 3/4 cup water, 1 scoop of chocolate protein, and 1/2 frozen banana in my bullet (blender). Its like your having a milkshake but no guilt, and its really filling!!!

    my fav breakfast is plain Fage with half a frozen banana and fresh blueberries with a little Kashi Go Lean Crunch sprinkled on top. a little drizzle of honey would be good with it too.it's delicious.

    I didn't eat breakfast today (I'm sick) but yesterday I had a 1/2 cup of egg beaters and a 1/4 cup of shredded part skim cheddar cheese. It was great. I was filled well into lunch!

    I know everyone is saying instant oatmeal is crap, but since I eat breakfast at work and my choices are limited, I buy Kashi Go Lean instant hot cereal..... it has a lot of fiber and protein in it especially compared to instant oatmeal. Better Oats also makes a ton of different kinds of instant oatmeal that are whole rolled oats along with flax. I think these are the most filling options if you want oatmeal but have to make it at work. Keeps me pretty full along with coffee and I always have a snack midmorning of nuts or yogurt.
