What do you eat for breakfast??

Bump for later.

Pancakes every day, basically. All different mixes and home made batches. I stick with whole wheat or out flour based cakes & sometimes protein-based but its pancakes for me daily. I love them and they give me a good carb boost in the morning which my body likes. For toppings, I stay with butter & some type of no-added-sugar fruit syrups or molasses.

So - I eat about 6-8 each morning and even though its a lot of carbs... amazingly its not causing any weight gain issues at all. Hell, I feel leaner & have mor energy since switiching to a pancake breakfast diet I do reduce carb intake for later meals but still eat about 200-225 carbs per day. Perfect for me.

I pretty much only eat one thing Steel cut oats with coconut and almonds. The fiber sticks with me pretty much til lunch so I don't have to snack in the morning like I used to. I used to exclusively eat Swedish oats (1/3 cup rolled oats + 1/3 cup greek yogurt + 1/3 cup milk + berries, mix and let it sit overnight) but switched to steel cut a few months ago and haven't looked back.

I'm really not a breakfast person, so it's usually something quick. Lately I've been alternating between a slice of bread with either jam or speculoos spread and a bowl of cornflakes with soy milk. Usually, I also have some kind of fruit as well, a banana, some grapes, etc.

Although I have to say, I quite like the whole overnight oats deal. But I prefer that during the winter months. My favorite is plums and cinnamon.

Overnight Oats! Just a half a cup of rolled oats, a half a cup of almond milk, and maybe some fruit and cinnamon.

I hate breakfast. I just have a bowl of cheerios everyday. With almond milk.

today was a smoothie - peanut butter, golden flaxseed, banana, vanilla yogurt, vanilla extract, and milk. it was like dessert.

Other than that - eggs & bacon on weekends and fage/greek yogurt during the week generally!

Help I am trying to lose weight and breakfast is my hardest. I need some simple ideas on something fast and on the go for work.
Thanks

I love my breakfast. My folks got me a Nutribullet for Christmas, and I use it every morning to make a smoothie. A couple of ice cubes, a generous cup of kale, frozen fruit (berries, mango, pineapple, peaches, whatever I want), walnuts or almonds, Greek yogurt, a scoop of protein powder, and a banana. Makes a thick shake of sweet creamy goodness, fits in a serving each of fruit, veg and dairy, and keeps me full until lunch.

Here is the recipe for anyone interested...they actually have a lot of carbs as well as protein, just no grains.

Mash one small to medium sized banana in a bowl (weigh it and note calories first!)
Add one Tbsp peanut butter and mix well (weigh the pb and note calories first)
In a separate bowl whisk two eggs or one egg and one egg's worth of egg whites
Add eggs to banana/peanut butter mixture
Add a shake or two of cinnamon and a small dash of vanilla extract
Mix well
Ladle onto griddle sprayed with nonstick spray (I use an electric griddle warmed to 250)
Cook for 5 mins each side or until each side is nicely golden
Top with fresh or frozen fruit if desired, and butter/margarine if desired. I often eat them plain.
Enjoy!

Serves one. Depending on the calories in your banana and peanut butter, it's about 300 calories without any toppings.

I used to only have coffee for breakfast, but now if I don't have two eggs with 1 or 2 bacon I get cranky. I try to get a 1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese also if it's available. Weekends I'll add a few baby dill pickles and a few slices of cheddar and call it the "astronaut breakfast" - purely because I have a NASA mug and live in Houston.

An everything bagel with cream cheese.

In a bowl, mix:
1 banana
1 egg
1/3 cup oatmeal

Butter on a skillet and fry yourself up the yummiest Power Pancake you've ever had. So sweet from the banana and oats, I don't even need to put jam or honey on it. Low heat for longer time than you would a normal pancake.
