Breakfast suggestions

I am looking for suggestions for filling breakfasts. I have realised the key to making me snack less is to have a filling breakfast. At the minute I have been surviving on porridge (slow release, excellent) with a bit of sugar free maple syrup to sweeten it up, but I am getting a bit bored of it now.
What does everyone else have? I don't always have a lot of time in the mornings and often have to have my breakfast at work, so ease of prepartion is key!

This morning I had half a mango with 150mg of Muller light vanilla yoghurt and that came to just over 140 calories. It's filling but not heavy on your stomach and helps if you're feeling bloated (I got this idea from a magazine). I'm still not feeling hungry. I think it would be nice with other types of fruit too!0

I eat 1c cooked oatbran or steel cut oatmeal, with 2 tbsp ground flax seed, 1/4 c pumpkin,spices mixed in and 2 whole eggs and 1 egg white.This is about 350-400 calories. Keeps me full and helps me get through training my clients and hard workouts that I do in the morning0

Breakfest should be 300-500 calories depending on your calorie needs.0

I'm enjoying museli and special K cereals they have like 12 differant varieties now so you never get bored a also like having scrambled or boild egg on toast or even a bacon bap good I love this app bacon roll for brekkie and still losing weight x0

This morning I had Muesli 35gms, added some bran flakes 15gms, with 50 gms each lemon and natural yog - delicious (305 cals total). Sometimes I have porridge as well and add some fruit to it. If I fancy something hot then I have a slice of wholemeal toast with maybe baked beans, or a poached egg and roasted tomatoes - yummy!!0

breakfast is tricky for me, but i love it so much and i am glad it is the meal they say never to skip!
three days a week I am able to make and eat breakfast at home, so i have a bowl of steel cut oats (the quick cooking type), mixed with a tablespoon of peanut butter with toasted flax seed, and a bit of 2% milk. so yummy!
4 days a week I have to be to work by 5 am or earlier, so I must eat in the car to avoid getting up at 2 in the morning!! I grab a toasted multi-grain english muffin and spread on a wedge of laughing cow light swiss cheese. also delicious and easy to eat as I drive. Most days I have a snack (a cereal bar or a 4oz yogurt) around 10 am. then lunch around 1.
I could probably make it better by adding some fruit or something, but coffee is my drink of choice in the morning!!
good luck!0 -
I eat OatFit at work, or yogurt, or a fiber one bar with coffee.0

Try the "Power Plate" as described in Self Magazine:
1 oz of cheddar cheese
1 boiled egg
1 serving of whole grain crackers
1/2 cup of blueberries
It's very filling, less than 300 calories and you can pack it all the night before. :-)0 -
Some great ideas here, thanks, I definitely like the sound of the power plate!0
-
I would be grateful if anyone had any hot breakfast tips! I pretty much always skip breakfast which is probably why I struggle but I'm not really a cereal person!
I need a full english thats only 350 cals! LOL!!!0 -
I love porridge for breakfast. I like to add things to it so it doesn't get boring. Here are some variations for porridge:
blueberries and 1 teaspoon honey
mashed banana and 10g whole earth peanut butter, or just mashed banana
diced apple and cinnamon
frozen, mixed berries added before cooking
peanut butter and cocoa powder (great for naughty cravings)
add in a little granola, like Dorset Cereals chocolate and macadamia, or Lizi's Original Granola
mix in a little pre-mixed low-fat cottage cheese and pineapple after cooking
I also like to add an egg white, stir, and reheat to cook the egg white, for a little protien
Grapenuts with any berries is a great, quick breakfast, as are Nakd bars. Cocoa loco has all my love right now. Also, I made these last week and froze a bunch so I could have them for a quick breakfast: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/savory_breakfast_muffins.html If you're wanting something savoury, those muffins are great, or you could cook a scrambled egg in the microwave and put it on a wholemeal English muffin with a little cheese or a slice of tomato. You could also do that on a tortilla with some salsa.
Smoothies are good too. I love banana mixed with milk (I use oat milk) and instant coffee for a bit of energy, or banana, strawberry, blueberry and oatmilk (you could use regular milk, or soymilk.)0 -
Today I had an extra-large breakfast (I'm in the middle of moving): A 170 g pot of Fage/Total 2% Greek yogurt, 40 g of Kellogs All Bran (not the flakes, those little stick things; usually I only have 30 g), 20 g of flax seeds / berry / cocoa mix (usually I only have 15 g), some semi-skimmed milk to thin and moisten it, and the rest of the blueberries, which came to 150 g. About 500 cal. I don't think I need a lunch until, like, 3 pm .0

Oh, wouldn't it be lovely? This is at least better: http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/271331/Skinnier-cooked-breakfast and you can always use Walls bacon rashers. They're a little leaner.
While I'm at it, this site has a lot of great, healthy recipes, and here are the breakfast ones: http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/search?q=&tags[0]=Healthy+eating&recipe_data_course=Breakfast0 -
I've been enjoying 1 cup of fat free vanilla yogurt with 1/4 cup frozen blueberries. It keeps me full for about 3-4 hours!0

• Boil raisins with cinnamon until they're plump and add to either rice (great way to use up leftovers) or oatmeal with a little milk. Mmm. The raisins are super sweet all by themselves and the cinnamon adds just enough flavor.
• 2 egg whites with 1 tsp Feta, 1/8c. shredded cheddar cheese, 3 grape tomatoes (quartered), 1/4c. spinach, 1 clove garlic (pressed), 1/4c. onion. All veggies are aprox. measurements. I used a non-stick Wok and sauteed the onions/garlic in a tiny bit of olive oil then added the spinach and tomatoes then the egg whites and cheese. Just tossed around until it was done and enjoyed! Mmmm!!!
• Yogurt with walnuts. I usually use 1/8c. of walnuts. So filling.0 -
this morning i had sausage eggs, and baked beans! i also find i snack less if i have bigger meals.. 480 cals!0

Good morning!
Most mornings I have 1/4cup cottage cheese, a small container or Astro Zero yogurt, a cup or fresh or frozen berries and some bran buds or sticks.
Or I will have a serving of Red River cereal.
I eat breakfast at work, so I bring it in little containers and have breaky after the morning rush has slowed down a bit. (I am not organized enough in the morning to have breakfast, get ready and drive half an hour to get there before 7am!
Good luck finding something that works for you!0 -
Yogurt w/granola
2 frozen waffles w/1 tbsp maple syrup & 1/2 tbsp margarine
Egg & bacon/sausage with 1/2 slice american cheese on english muffin
I also do oatmeal like quaker oats weight control
These are my go-to's0 -
You need to make sure you are getting protein and healthy fats in the am to keep you full all day. Try cottage cheese or greek yogurt if you are sick of eggs for protein or a protein shake with a little peanut or almond butter, ezekiel bread with hummus and egg whites is tasty too. Kashi go lean cereal is good if need a fast one I like it with unsweetened almond milk.0

This is so cool I posted this topic yesterday, but I didn't get as many posts as you did LOL...but now that I replyed to yours...it's under my topics and can see your replies!
Great minds think alike!...check out my post from yesterday..it's a great breakfast idea!0 -
I had a multigrain, high fiber bagel (low cal), 1 hard boiled egg, with laughing cow cheese. Just enough as I am not a big early morning eater, and I got protein and fiber. Its quick to put together at work, if you have a toaster.0
-
I have an egg (over-hard, yolk broken) on a piece of toast with salt and pepper . Tastes great and keeps me full!0
-
I've been having a hard-boiled egg, sometimes two, with a cup of coffee. Then around midmorning I have a glass of V8. The protein from the eggs keeps me full, and the V8 gives me a little boost around mid-morning when I typically start to lose energy.0

Another go to breakfast for me:
2 frozen waffles (I like Kellogg's Nutrigrain whole grain low-fat waffles)
2 turkey sausage patties (I buy the Banquet frozen microwavable kind)
2 tbsp maple syrup (the real all-natural stuff, not maple flavored syrup)
This is 335 calories, but you can round out with a serving of fruit and/or skim milk if you need more calories. This breakfast is easy to make with a toaster and microwave in under 5 minutes and it keeps me full all morning. These are non-perishable staples that you can keep on hand all the time. Great when you're craving something sweet in the morning!0 -
just tried this the other day and liked it, cous cous with berries and yogurt. I know it sounded weird to me too :laugh:0

I had a homemade smoothie today. 1/4 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup oats, 1tsp wheat germ, 1/2 cup berries, 1 banana, 1/2 cup fat free vanilla yogart, 5 strawberries, two table spoons Grapenuts (mostly for texture) and crushed ice in a blender. Great tasting and fills me up and I can take it to go. It's about 475 calories. Stay away from smoothie places, they squirt surgary syrup into theirs. I sometimes will add a kiwi, sliced apple or peach.0

I am a teacher and have to be at work by 7:30 which makes my morning a very early one so I try to eat a healthy breakfast on the run. My lunch hour begins at 11:15 so I need something to tide me over for about 4 hours. I eat a Clif bar and a banana and I stay full almost all morning. Another good option is Chobani greek yogurt (priced very well at wholesale stores like Costco) or oatmeal. These are quick and can even be eaten in the car or once you get to work.0

I will add GNC's brand of vanilla shake mix to milk, ice, and a banana....it tastes like birthday cake remix ice cream from Coldstone!0 -

You should have one complex carb, a fruit, and a protein.0 -
