    I'd take your first breakfast, switch out one piece of toast for some fruit, and then eat that.

    Today I had two scrambled eggs cooked in coconut oil, some grape tomatoes, and coffee mixed with 1 cup 2% milk.

    My general breakfast template is the coffee with milk, a protein (eggs, yogurt, or cottage cheese), and fruit or veggies. Sometimes I add bacon in there too.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I guess the key point you are recommending is to swap out one slice of bread with a piece of fruit = bread is loaded with "bad carbs", whereas I need to ensure that I have at least one serving of fruit / vegetable to start the day.

    I can definitely live with one less slice of bread! :smile:

    And judging by your breakfast, you definitely aren't loading up on any "bad" carbs.

    I'll try it later in the week, on a day when I can't fight my craving to have eggs.

    Yeah I know that in the past when I had toast I always had two slices at a time. For whatever reason I felt like it had to come in pairs, like shoes :smiley: I don't eat a whole lot of bread right now (recovering bread addict) but it is nice to have with eggs so I can see still wanting to keep one slice.

    My favorite breakfast:
    2 eggs griddle cooked in a lite spray of coconut oil w/a little dollop of home-made guac & Cholula on top, 1pc Ezekiel toast w/organic butter.

    I'm allergic to the traditional breakfast foods (eggs, milk, bananas, wheat/gluten) and I don't eat pork, so I normally have Turkey sausage and 30-40gr cashews instead. Sometimes, if I have time I fry up a hashbrown pattie. I don't eat fruits or veggies for breakfast normally- they don't fill me up like protein does and apples on an empty stomach make me nauseated. It's portable and gives me protein, fats, carbs and fibre so I count it as a healthy, balanced start.

    Monday : Porridge (usually a sachet of Alpen or Speical K) made with water and a squeeze of sweet freeom syrup
    Tuesday : 100g low fat greek yoghurt with 20g granola mixed through
    Wednesday: serving of overnight oats (usually a brownie batter recipe I found on dashingdish.com)
    Thursday: 2 scrambled eggs with pepper and sweet chilli sauce and two crispbreads
    Friday : greek yoghurt and oat pancakes with raspberries and sweet freedom..

    I used to avoid breakfast..and I still can't eat it straight away in the mornings but since making a concerted effort this month, I've lost 5 lbs...go figure..anways..now I do love breakfast!

    1 tbsp honey
    1/4 c raspberries
    6 walnut halves
    1 english muffin with 3/4 tbsp of butter

    I usually eat the yogurt or the english muffin but I did an hour at the gym at 10pm last night and woke up starving.

    I've found that Greek yogurt, a small scoop of peaunut butter, some crushed peanuts and pine nuts, and a cup of berries have helped me to stay satiated longer. don't feel as snacky mid am. it's a little higher in calories but then I don't feel as hungry at lunch so it balances out.

    Two jumbo eggs fried over medium in real butter, 2 strips of very thick bacon, pan fried. 16oz coffee with 2 tbsp heavy cream.

    500ish cals

    ETA: I only eat two "meals" per day, so my breakfast is never earlier than 11am and sometimes as late as 2pm. I may have the coffee earlier (I am up at 6:15 every weekday and most Saturdays), but the food is nearly always later.

    My typical breakfast is this:

    Rude Health ultimate muesli topped with sprinkles of toasted coconut, walnuts, goji berries, sunflower & pumpkin seeds. Add a spoonful of natural yoghurt, blueberries, pomegranate seeds and splash in some almond milk.

    Breakfast is my absolute favourite meal of the day - I try to just have small amounts of each topping so that I can enjoy them all. I'm one of those people who would faint if they left the house without breakfast :)

    My usual breakfast is Greek yogurt topped with fresh berries and granola. I find this keeps me full until mid-morning when I usually have a piece of fruit as a snack. If I'm in a rush and don't have time, I just grab a Quest bar.

    Yes... I am addicted to bread and to rice. It will require some creativity and ingenuity, and some effort, to come up with satisfying meal alternatives that don't require bread or rice to enjoy.

    "Breakfast food" does not satisfy me until lunchtime so I usually have dinner for breakfast. This morning I had left-over KFC grilled chicken breast with green beans and brown rice.

    "Dinner for breakfast".... Interesting concept. I'm sure it holds you over until lunch.... But then how does the rest of your day go in terms of lunch, dinner, snacks, and staying within your target calorie limit?

    Hmm.... When I am not dieting, I usually end up having days where my breakfast is 500 calories too.... I suppose it could be possible to maintain a 1500 to 1800 calorie diet day, if each meal was equally 500 to 600 calories.

    Today was a banana and a Zone Perfect bar, as I had to be at work majorly early and wasn't getting a lunch break. But that means a turkey sausage/egg burrito for lunch now that I'm home!

    My week day breakfast is usually:
    whole grain english muffin with low fat cheese (either cheddar or laughing cow)
    2 egg whites with 1/2 cup Jimmy Dean Turkey crumbles
    1 flavored low fat Greek yogurt
    (typically 370-395 calories, tons of protein and so satisfying)

    or
    a green smoothie consisting of:
    1/4 cup oats
    a serving of kale (85 grams)
    1/2 cup plain greek yogurt
    1 cup of frozen fruit (I like a mixture of mango, peaches, pineapple and bananas)
    1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar (for a little zip)
    - a dash of red cayenne pepper - for even more zip if I need it
    this is less calories and still amazing but I often will pack a Quest Bar with me for a morning snack if I have this because I usually want a little something to actually chew at some point during the morning.

    Either way I have lots of black coffee (I'll let myself have a tbsp of sugarfree creamer with my first cup, but after that black) and water throughout the morning
