    I usually eat a "big" breakfast. 1 cup dry oats, 1 cup 1% milk (or whichever one you prefer), 1/4 cup peanuts, 1/2 cup fat free greek yogurt. Nearly a perfect macro break down of 48% carbs, 30% fat, 22% protein. You can adjust the portions to fit your calorie needs pretty easy.

    Ideally I would add some fresh / frozen fruit on top, but I tend to eat enough fruits and veggies that I don't need to.

    And this keeps me going for literally long time. Eat at 8 or 830, and I am not hungry until well past noon. Even if I have a big morning workout.

    Easy breakfast.

    Shredded wheat
    Milk
    Bananas or any fruit you like and you could add a little honey if you like it sweet I don't bother because I love bananas, it keeps me pretty full until snack.

    My go-to's are: a banana with peanut butter or hazelnut butter and sometimes a whole wheat english muffin. I find that it's very filling, and approximately 350 calories. Or, a serving of granola with slivered almonds and a low fat greek yogurt, or 1/4 cup milk. Also filling and delicious. :)

    These are very close to my go to's. Sometimes I'll have an egg with about half a cup of vegetables mixed in (zucchini and/or tomato) and a slice of grain-packed bread with one pat of butter. That's usually my "big" breakfast- it's very filling!!

    Also, like to eat a cup of brown rice with salsa verde and 2 fried eggs on top. I know, sounds weird, but is actually very tasty all mashed up together. :)


    mmm, looks delicious! I had eggs, tortilla wrap, lettuce and a bit of spicy mustard for breakfast today.

    I love tropical smoothie, especially the peanut paradise, so I make my own now for breakfast, with 4.5 T peanut powder, 1 cup original almond milk, and one and a half banana, which I slice and freeze. Love it and it's pretty filling.

    You can do an oatmeal in two ways:
    1) Prepare it overnight so the oats soak in the milk/yogurt & you have a yummy cool summer breakfast
    2) Heat it in the morning for that great stick-to-your-ribs feeling.

    Here's what I do almost every day:
    1/3 cup oatmeal
    1/3 cup almond milk
    sprinkle of cinnamon or other spices
    If using frozen fruit, toss that in now, too.
    Microwave together in the microwave for 1-2 min

    Add 2 tbs pb (or almond butter!)
    Add 1/3-1/2 cup greek yogurt
    Add in fresh fruit (1/4-1/3 cup)
    Stir & enjoy!

    If you're going to soak it overnight, toss it all in a jar or something & the oats will soak up the milk overnight so you get a creamier cold breakfast. The frozen fruit will thaw, too, of course. This keeps me full for a long time & it has everything you need -- protein, fiber, fat -- to keep you full & balanced for the start of your day.

    Also -- please don't skip breakfast! Your body needs something to get it going in the morning!

    Sounds delish and smart! I am trying this overnight thing def! Especially with those late mornings where you don't have time to make it eesh :/

    My breakfast is generally between 350-400 calories, with around 25-30 grams of protein, it generally consists of:

    3/4 cup (175 g) plain 0% greek yogurt
    30-35g of berries (raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries - I alternate each week depending whats on sale)
    1 T of chia seeds
    1 T of hemp seeds
    or 1 T of a superfood cereal dry mix

    in addition to either:
    1/2 bagel
    1 T of cream cheese or peanut butter

    or

    1/2 banana
    1 T of peanut butter

    My go-to is generally 2 pcs of toast and 1 egg with 1-2 sausage patties or a bagel thin with cream cheese and either an egg or 2 or some sausage. Every once in awhile I add a hashbrown.
