    I find that whenever i have a "sugary" breakfast, such as oatmeal w fruits i tend to crave more sweets during the day. So i start of my day with a nice hearty meal. Eggs, turkey cold cuts, motzarella and ww bread. I know that this is about 500 calories, but i feel so satisfied! And i tend to eat better for the next 2 meals. Besides theres a saying...you should eat breakfast like a King, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper
    . Meaning your biggest meal should be your earliest one. You have all day to burn off those calories!

    I pretty much have the same breakfast every morning (for the last 15 years or so too) - toast with pb&j and a coffee

    Omlet made with Egg Creations, spinach and light goat cheese - yummy! Or non fat greek yoghurt and a couple of tablespoons of Grainless Granola (Wheat Belly recipe). It depends on whether I have time to cook. If I have left over veggies from the night before I throw them into an omlet with some salsa for flavour.

    Usually coffee, splenda & milk. Rarely a poached egg & 1/2 english muffin or sometimes a bagel w/ 0.5 Tbs light butter :smiley:

    Well, I'm up before the roosters... literally. Then, after my morning workout, I'm off to work. So, breakfast is definitely 'on the fly'. Whatever comes to mind and is in the cabinet. Raisin Bran, Grape Nuts with raisins (never any processed sugar) added, raw veggies, a fruit salad 'built' upon arriving at work after a stop at the market. The only time I have the luxury of actually sitting down to a cooked meal is on weekends. Then it's something like buttermilk pancakes with homemade blackberry syrup, or homemade hash brown potatoes with eggs and sausage and grits.
    Every great now and again, I have homemade bread and I will slice some of that for toast and tea once I get to work.
    Yeh. That's about it. But, then, I do have a mongo bag of EAS Protein Whey powder shake mix which I will, on rare occasion, stick in the blender with a bit of milk and some ice. Don't do that very often, though. Need more substance to kick start my day. I'm always too hungry by the end of the day, even after I eat lunch, and I'm ready to start eating as soon as I walk through the door when I get home.

    Goat's milk yogurt with sugar-free fruit spread, followed by some kind of egg and carbohydrate combo or a protein bar. Once a week I have a bowl of cereal as a treat.

    Varies between protein bar, porridge, protein pancakes and today, for the first time in three months, I had toast and marmalade :)
    Bread is a trigger for me so trying to flick a very well hidden moderation switch! :dizzy:

    During the week: 113 grams of cottage cheese. Not too exciting but I like it.

    It varies.

    Waffles, cereal, fruit, a smoothie with frozen fruit and carrots, eggs and bacon, etc..

    My favorites would be a protein shake with 1/2 c blueberries or I scramble 1 whole egg, 2 egg whites and 1/2 c cottage cheese. Please don't hate on the 2 egg whites, it is a personal preference. B)

    Hubby's in charge of the shakes, and since he wanted to work out on a lighter stomach, I asked him to make me one Saturday morning. I'm not entirely clear how he makes them but I know there's whey protein in there, frozen bananas, frozen strawberries and milk I think. It's very, very good.

    I don't always eat breakfast but when I do I alternate between: a bagel (wholewheat or cinnamon and raisin) with light cream cheese, wholewheat toast with avocado and an egg, wholewheat toast with tinned plum tomatoes and an egg, fat-free Greek yoghurt with cereal and fruit.

    If I've got the time and can be bothered, I sometimes make Greek yoghurt pancakes.

    I flip in between steel cut oats with Demerara sugar and butter or egg whites and cheese on chia toast, very rarely a smoothie/protein shake.

    I try not to eat the same thing every day. I switch off from eggs with veggies to Greek yogurt with fruit to banana with peanut butter.

    Just a banana most days. I arrive at work at 7 and start properly at 8 but I usually eat my banana during break at 10.15. Reason: If I eat before work, I'm STILL hungry during break and I eat again. But even if I eat plenty in the morning, I'm still horribly hungry in the evening.

    So I prefer to be hungry during the day and eat properly at night.

    When I have a late breakfast on Saturday or Sunday, I fry some eggs, sometimes with bacon or I serve them with smoked salmon.


    If I didn't have to watch my calories so darn much, I'd LOVE toast and peanut butter for breakfast.

    2 slices of toasts, 2 fried eggs (sometimes omelet with 25g spinach and mushrooms), 2 slices of turkey bacon and strong coffee with a whole cup of slim milk.
    Around 500 kcals, but i need it to get through a 3-hour long not-so-interesting class on a Monday morning.

    I used to do a protein shake, lately I've been having oatmeal, fairly low calorie, keeps me full until lunch and really cheap! Plus it is something I can quick make at work since I hate waking up early. The weekends is a whole other thing, my husband and I tend to do brunch (either at home or out)

    Home made breakfast bowl. 2 scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, shredded cheese and potatoes o' brien. Or maybe a few tator tots if that's what I have. That or I'll cut those portions in half and put it in a wheat tortilla to make a burrito.

    I eat pretty much the same thing every day for breakfast. An egg, piece of whole wheat toast, and some fruit.

    I start with a shake - a cup of water, 1/2 cup of blueberries, non-fat yogurt or soy milk, protein powder and sometimes Matcha green tea powder. Then I have a SECOND breakfast two hours later as you should not live on shakes alone. Usually a coffee or tea and some carbs like a small tortilla wrap with a bit of goat cheese - plus I added a slice of low-sodium turkey bacon (30 calories) the other day. Note - it doesn't have to be a traditional breakfast food. Enjoy and change it up a bit.

    I like a hearty breakfast. Here is my "template:"

    Coffee plus ~100g of whole milk
    1/4 cup (uncooked) oatmeal or grits
    4 oz meat (sausage, turkey, chicken)
    Added fiber: 1 Tb flax meal; 8 g chia seed
    1 cup veggies (steamed or cooked with the meat)

    I like to eat protein for breakfast if I can; It fills me up. Turkey sausage and some fruit. Sometimes quiche or eggs. Cereal when I'm in a hurry but that doesn't last long.
