What's for breakfast?

I make a home made granola which lasts me almost a month. Each morning I have 1/4 cup of granola mixed with either honey or blueberry Oikos Greek yogurt. The crunch and chew makes it satisfying, the protein makes it filling.

On the weekend, when I have more time to cook and clean up a mess, I might have a couple scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and veggies (mushrooms, green peppers usually). Sometimes I have toast with that, sometimes not.

I like the active lifetsyle oatmeal or vanilla almond cereal, or kashi cereal with 1/2 c. 1% milk.
I also eat the Thomas thin bagels (whole wheat) with 1 tbsp of polaners all fruit spread, or egg beaters and turkey bacon
and can add red onion, tomato, spinach, mushrooms, etc to the egg beaters.

I work 7a-4p at a desk job so I used to eat toast or a bagel early in the morning and found that doesn't work for me..so I eat dry cereal at about 8ish when I am fully awake, and then I eat one packet of oatmeal at my 10:00 break... On weekends though, it's typically eggs and toast

I take my breakfast with me and eat in the office. I have one packet of Ralphs organic oatmeal (110 calories), 1/4 cup of blueberries, and a piece of fresh fruit.

I love to have: 1/2 cup oatmeal cooked in 2/3 cup of milk. Slice in a banana and throw in a palmful of walnuts. Delicious and nutritious!

Or.....2 pieces of toast with peanut butter (no sugar added), plus a few egg whites on the side.

Or, a protein shake: 1 cup of skim milk, one scoop of vanilla protein powder, one cup of strawberries, and half a banana......blend and drink. (or use the whole banana to make it thicker).

Feel free to check my diary, it's public.

- hard boiled egg whites dipped in grey poupon mustard (tastes kinda like a deviled egg)
- greek yogurt with strawberry preserves or agave nectar or almond butter
- cottage cheese with preserves or a banana mashed in or mashed pumpkin or almond butter
- smoked salmon pinwheels stuffed with cream cheese
- egg white omelette w/ cheddar or goat cheese

if i am going to be home (i am a SAHM, so i am home most mornings) i have a cup of coffee w a small splash of skim milk and either sugar, honey or agave nectar along with a container of GREEK yogurt (blueberry is a fav of mine, though i havent found one i don't like) with 1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean Crunch! mixed in. ... later i will eat a 2nd breakfast of some sort... 2nd coffee, and either a piece of fruit or a small (140 cal or less) bagel toasted w 1 Tbsp natural peanut butter spread over it.... I eat about 6 or 7 times a day.... a true grazer.

On days i will be out all morning and will, most likely be eating a late lunch, i like a coffee and a smoothie:
8 oz skim milk
1/2 frozen banana
2 Tbsp plain or vanilla greek yogurt (dependind on what i have on hand)
1 Tbsp natural peanut butter
1 scoop whey protein powder (either chocolate or vanilla)

blend until the banana is fully incorporated. Its delicious and thick like a milkshake and has tons of protein, so really fills me up.... Its a killer for calories though, so i reserve it for either days i won't be eating other things until after my typical lunch time or if i have a higher than usual calorie burn that day.

I had oatmeal & 1/2 a grapefruit this morning. I vary it day to day. Sometimes a bowl of cereal or a veggie omelet or an egg muffin sandwich or a breakfast burrito. The list goes on and on. Breakfast food is my favorite kind of food so I like to mix it up and try different things

My diary is public so feel free to have a look. My breakfast depends on my schedule-if I work out really hard in the morning (spin class) I will have a heartier breakfast, if I am just going into work, I will usually have bran flakes, skim milk and berries or yogurt and berries (maybe granola). On the weekends I try to be a little more creative: frittata, steel cut oatmeal, etc.

I try to incorporate a variety of foods because when I find myself tired of what I am eating, I typically binge. :grumble:

this morning i was in a hurry out the door, so it was an apple and some peanut butter, and a glass of skim milk
