I'm a fan of sweet over savory breakfasts... LOVE my oatmeal and smoothies, but am also a fan of an egg white scramble or sandwich from time to time. What are YOUR favorites? :#

    Usually 2 whole eggs and 5 egg whites (from a carton) scrambled and a 1/3 cup (dry) serving of Coach's Oats with around 50 grams of mixed berries and 1 ounce of chopped up almonds. I usually wash that down with a low sodium V8 and some coffee.

    Bacon and eggs and a nice, tart apple. I worry about calories rather than much about macro settings, and it's a breakfast that keeps me going well until lunch for about 350 calories.

    Can't beat peanut butter and sliced banana on a piece of whole wheat toast. Yum!

    I eat a pre-workout Quest bar and a post-workout protein shake before I even get to "breakfast," so breakfast tends to be lower in protein and higher in carbs. Today I had a plain bagel thin with a service of blueberry cream cheese. It fits nicely into my macros.

    If you're looking for "healthier" options, I like overnight protein oatmeal or hot protein oatmeal, homemade McDonald's-style egg white delight (english muffin, canadian bacon, egg whites, white cheddar cheese), Greek yogurt with granola and/or fruit, peanut butter on toast, ore cottage cheese mixed with applesauce, raisins, and cinnamon.

    I have to have something I can just grab and eat. I usually make up a batch of like a breakfast quiche, cut into squares and grab and eat all week. Or set my smoothie up the night before and put in fridge, then just grab and throw on the ninja. It has to be quick because my time is limited and schedule tight. More time last couple days since I hurt my knee =)

    Usually just 2 eggs over medium, 2 strips of bacon (real, not turkey) or sausage, and some sort of fruit.

    On the weekends I may shake it up a bit and have a 3 egg omelet with spinach, red onion, ham, and fresh grated monterey jack cheese.

    These are my regulars for weekday mornings:

    2 eggs with 2oz ham and 1 slice of cheese
    1/2 serving of vanilla greek yogurt mixed with strawberry preserves + slice of whole wheat toast and peanut butter
    almond milk + chocolate protein powder, with peanut butter toast

    On the weekends I'll make pancakes or waffles for the kids and usually have one or two with a slice of bacon. Or I'll make a yogurt parfait as above but add almonds, banana slices, and granola. I can eat a heavier breakfast on weekends because I don't snack as much as I do when I'm sitting at my boring job during the week, lol.

    Protein shake - vanilla protein, 1 c spinach, 1 c kale, 1 c frozen fruit, 1/2 c plain greek yogurt and a crystal light packet for flavor (mixed in my vitamix) - This gets me about 45g protein and 55 carbs, 2 servings veggies and 1 serving fruit.

    I also like to have a basic protein shake with 2 Kodiak protein pancakes. 40g protein and 30g carbs

    This is savory. A single serving frittata pocketed with carrot and onion, a little hot sauce, and a couple walnuts.

    This morning I had my new fave, Red River cereal enriched with powdered milk, raisins, and a dollop of greek yogurt.

    During the work week a cup of Dannon Light, 2X the Protein Vanilla yogurt. Weekends I most likely don't eat until close to lunch time, but if I do it's an omlette with meat and cheese of some kind or maybe a scramble with eggs, meat, cheese, onion, green pepper, and mushrooms. And of course I'm addicted to coffee, so my first cup of the day includes a 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein powder, so even if I don't eat right away, I'm getting some nutrition.
