The only meal that I actually get stuck on… Then again I'm not a big breakfast person but want to see what everybody else eats

    Why just eat the egg white when the yolk has all the nutrition ? I have two whole eggs cooked in butter almost everyday, either fried or scrambled, and coffee.

    Lately I've been doing 2 whole eggs with 5 spinach leaves, a baby sweet pepper and a jalapeno (tablespoon of fresh salsa or a sprinkle of parmesan on some days)

    That sounds good. Today I had brunch and had 2 eggs with cheddar cheese, and avocado with salsa on baby kale, spinach and chard. Keeps me going all day, no need for lunch at all.

    Coffee and two slices of whole wheat toast w/peanut butter and jelly. If I have a run of 8 miles or more in the morning, I'll add a bowl of mixed fruit and/or some oatmeal.

    If you aren't a big breakfast person, why not eat leftover dinner or lunch for breakfast? Make extra at night so you have a meal for the morning! :)

    I'm always in a rush. Breakfast is a protein shake made with cold coffee rather than water.

    If you don't really eat breakfast, you don't HAVE to... means you have all your calories for lunch, dinner, dessert, and/or snacks. :smiley:

    I usually eat cereal, pb n j sandwiches, pancakes, eggs and beans... those are my usual go-to's for breakfast. :yum:

    Eat the same thing M-F at work. 2 hard boiled eggs and fruit with an iced coffee with fat free creamer.

    If it was a perfect world, and I had moneh, I would make a breakfast shake with coffee in it. Coffe boosts metabolic rate, and without breakfast, blood sugar issues can occure.

    If you don't like breakfast and don't feel hungry, then don't have it. I used to think that you had to have breakfast to "get your metabolism going". I start off with a cup of coffee. If I feel hungry or weak, I will have either oatmeal, eggs and maybe a piece of bacon, or avocado on toast with salt and pepper. There are recipes for steel cut oats in jars that you can take with you. Google it if you are interested. It cuts out the usual long cook time of steel cut oats and you can grab in the morning and take with you to eat at work if you need to. You can add whatever you like in the jar--fruit, nuts, etc.

    I feel like an odd one out. If am going to be doing a work out in the morning I really need the energy or else I have to finish my work out half way through due to being so hungry.
    I usually have a large bowl of fruit and fibre with skimmed milk, 3 whole large scrambled eggs and a breakfast bar. That usually holds me out until after my workout.

    I started balancing my day when I started using MFP a year ago. I spread my meals out. I include 2 snacks a day. Breakfast is usually almond milk, cereal, or a skinny wheat bread and egg. Followed by an apple or celery around 10 am. Lunch is almost always a salad of some sort. Maybe soup. Limit my starches here. Afternoon snack is an apple or popcorn or almond milk smoothie. Dinner is creative. I look at my goals and my what I have eaten so far that day and that forms my dinner plans. I always have apples and tuna and celery on hand for variety along with nuts.

    Peanut butter on toast and a large cup of coffee! Although I am looking for inspiration on here.. I find it difficult to prepare anything on a weekday morning and not be late for work !

    I sometimes do baked oatmeal on the weekend for weekday breakfasts. Oh She Glows has a sweet potato one that is my new fave-but I do cut the sugar some as it can be kinda dessertish as written.

    Also I haven't tried them yet but I keep meaning to do those muffin pan mini omelettes. I think they'd be great for weekdays and easily paired with toast/English muffin.

    None of these are really "recipes" but this is what i like to have. Whole wheat mini bagel with lox, capers, red onion and light cream cheese. Egg in a hole made with a little butter plus a side of fresh fruit. Apple chicken sausage and cinnamon oatmeal. Fruit and yogurt parfait. Whole grain toaster waffles with butter plus a hard boiled egg with hot sauce.

    I like a protein milkshake. Made with a banana, about a cup of milk, a raw egg, and a scoop of protein powder. The shake normally keeps me full throughout the day.

    Make ahead freezer breakfast sandwiches or burritos, Mcmuffins, make ahead frittata/egg muffins like these quiche cupcakes or sausage cheese and egg bake.

    My personal recipe - breakfast burrito
    Sauté onion, pepper, mushroom, spinach. Chop 8 slices of turkey or center cut bacon, and crisp. Cook 8 scrambled eggs, and mix all cooled ingredients together. Lay out 8 large high fiber/low carb burritos (like La Tortilla Factory smart and delicious line or Ole Wellness High Fiber). Divide mixture amongst 8 burritos, top each with 14-28g cheese of choice, and roll into burritos, folding in the sides. Lay seam side down on cookie sheet, and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to labeled freezer bag. To serve, microwave wrapped in damp paper towel for 2-3 minutes until thawed or microwave until thawed and crisp in a pan or under the broiler. Options: add in cooked potatoes, vegetables to taste, sun dried tomatoes, jalapenos, hot sauce, or any other preferred fillings. Can substitute 2 egg whites for each whole egg.

    I've been making these simple frittatas and eating 1/4 per day at 140 calories per slice. I keep swapping out the vegetables.

    My current go to breakfasts I'm loving.

    -Smoked salmon, 1 whole egg two egg whites scrambled, with chopped spinach
    -Bagel with scrambled egg whites and lean bacon
    -Or if I'm in a rush/ a big meal planned for later either bran flakes and vanilla cream protein shake instead of milk. Or half a portion of museli, whatever yoghurt I have in the fridge and some waldens caramel sauce on top.

    I have barely any imagination for breakfast so this thread is very helpful. :) I just put 3 tbsp. of malt o meal, 1 tbsp. ground flax seed and 1 tbsp. light brown sugar in a mason jar, when I get to work I use the hot water function on the coffee machine stir and wait 10 minutes and then voila! :) Otherwise I take a baggie of Raisin Bran Crunch and a mason jar of milk (probably not that healthy though). I also throw some ice cubes, almond milk, a banana and 2 tbsp. of skippy natural peanut butter into the blender and there's my breakfast smoothie. :) I really have to rush in the morning which is why there's nothing too extensive in my breakfasts.
