in Introduce Yourself
I need help with what to eat for Breakfast! Im not a huge morning eater, but I do need to eat... I usually do a muffin, because it's the right size of food I can handle in the morning, and its all carbs which fill me up.... Obviously not the healthiest choice... but I like how quick it is and easy. But the calories add up so fast in the day!! What does everyone else eat thats half *kitten* nutrional and lower in calories?? I need some options. Thanks!!!:drinker:

    I like Zone Dark Chocolate bars. They come in at around 200 calories, I get my chocolate fix first thing in the morning, and they're high-protein so they're very filling. Also, fortified with some essential nutrients.

    Eggs are a good choice, too -- two eggs, prepared however you like, are about 150 calories, high protein and very nutritious. I don't do eggs for breakfast much because I don't like to start the day with a dirty kitchen.

    Oatmeal is another good choice, very filling and low-calorie if you don't load it up with unhealthy stuff.

    My usual healthy and filling breakfast is porridge (oats) or a fruit smoothie (fruit juice, banana, natural yogurt, random stuff thrown in the blender). Both take 3 mins to make.

    Most mornings I have multi-grain cheerios with 1/2 banana in it and cocunut milk beverage with it. Some days I have two whole grain tortillas with egg whites and mango salsa. Both are so yummy and filling also.

    I have been eating so many boiled eggs I could barf! But they do keep me full since they are high in protein and they are quick - I boil enough for 2-3 days at a time.

    I don't want to hijack your post, but I would also like some suggestions on breakfast ideas that are high protein and relatively quick to fix (don't ask for much do I?).

    I usually go to the gym in the mornings, so when I get home I try to have something that has a little protein. I have 2 pieces of toast
    with light peanut butter and a yogurt(I have the portioned containers). Then for my morning snack I have some fruit. A banana, an apple or whatever.

    I eat 1/2 cup of the plain Quaker oatmeal (I don't buy the individual packets, but the container its a lot cheaper) and cook it with water in the micorwave. Then I add a packet of Splenda and 1 TBS of Peter Pan 1/3 less sugar Whipped peanut butter!

    This definitely fills me up till lunch time! Some times I can't even eat all of it!

    Call me old, call me boring... heck, you can even call me fat! lol

    1 cup of Grape-Nuts, 1 cup of Skim milk, and 1.5 tsp of sugar.

    I don't know a lot of Grape Nut lovers, but it's by far the best breakfast for me. Healthy, filling, and for some reason, I never seem to tire of it. Follow up with my morning cup of Joe and a visit to MFP and I'm off to a great start!

    Protein shake with little sugar..fills me up til lunch.

    I agree..get a good protein shake preferrably with as minimal carbs and sugar as possible and at least 28+ grams of protein per serving...mix in some mixed berries, ground flaxseeds, unsweetened almond or coconut milk and there u go.

    I like warrior whey protein (i haven't purchased it yet) because it comes from grassfed cows and it's natural not synthetic crap...but...for now I take the synthetic crap lol...
    Optimum Nutritions Hydro Whey Velocity Vanilla (1scoop)
    140 cals
    2g of carbs
    0g of sugar
    30g of protein

    I have an Herbalife Formula 1 Meal Replacement shake every morning. If I don't have time to blend it, I just shake it in a shaker cup with 8 oz of nonfat milk. Quick, easy and so yummy! :love:
