in Health and Weight Loss
I'll start with mine, if I'm not desperately in a hurry I'll go for porridge:
20g Organic Porridge Oats
150g Semiskimmed milk
1 banana (not frozen), chopped
1 tsp brown sugar
cinnamon

It only takes me 10 minutes at the most to cook, it's delicius, keeps me full for a very long time, packed with fiber and good stuff :)

All for the grand total of 220 calories.

So what's yours?

    I start my day with a Slimfast chocolate milk shake for 220 calories.
    Before I started to loose a few lbs I would have weetabix or cornflakes in the summer and porridge with maple syrup and a chopped banana. I'm not very good at portion control so having the milkshake is ideal for me at the moment - plus it gives me an extra 10 -15 minutes of dog walking time before work!

    I have a Muller Vitality yoghurt drink and an Alpine breakfast bar, 189 calories. It's not a lot, but before my diet I didn't have any breakfast at all, so this is a big change for me!

    Protein/Fruit Smoothie
    1/2 c 0% Greek Yogurt
    1c raw Kale
    3/4 cup frozen fruit
    1 scoop protein powder
    1 Tsp Chia seeds
    2 scoops of ice

    This makes a HUGE smoothie, and I sip it all morning. It ends up being my snack too... but it is filling, and has lots of protein, and fruit and veggies

    Or I have 235ml of cooked steel cut oats, with 1tsp Chia seeds, either apple sauce (unsweetened) or Pumpkin puree a tsp of almond butter, and 1/8 c nature path granola, or panda puffs, sometimes have greek yogurt on it as well...
    Yummy but higher in calories than the smoothie, and takes more time to make and eat in a sitting.

    I tend to try and keep my breakfasts around 300-350 calories so I stay full longer, and have the energy to take on my day.

    a banana....I know I will get told off. But I will qualify, I used to eat more, cereal or toast etc and would ALWAYS be hungry mid morning, also I have a VERY noisy digestive process, my stomach growls and pops like you would not believe, I work in School Nursing and would have to tell the children I ate a lion for breakfast!
    I have found for the last 7 months that if I have just a banana and a coffee first thing then I am fine, sometimes I have a second piece of fruit at about 11 am with a coffee, but it has worked for me. I used to eat loads for breakfast and spent all morning feeling hungry, I now eat a banana and hardly ever get hungry. It's weird I know.

    I like to change it up :) some of my choices include:

    30g Cheerios with 125ml skimmed milk (170 cals)
    30g Cornflakes with 125ml skimmed milk (150 cals ish?)
    2pcs wholemeal toast with 1 scrambled egg (210 cals)
    An apple with an alpen light cereal bar (130 cals)

    It really ranges from day to day depending on my mood, if I'm going to be walking/exercising a lot that day, how hungry I am. If I'm going to work out shortly after breakfast I'll add in a petits filous yoghurt (100 cals) or a piece of fruit to keep my energy levels high until lunch.
