What do you like to eat for breakfast?

Everyday I pretty much eat 30g (.33 c) of large flake oats with 5g psyllium husk ground, add in some cinnamon, touch of brown sugar and I eat most of my fruit in this part of the day (for no particular reason). I have been having homemade stewed rhubarb and sliced strawberries or blueberries mixed in, or berries and a half banana.
Today for lunch I made a fantastic omelet that came in under 200 cals! 3 egg whites, 1 whole egg, 15g feta, 2g of fresh dill, 2g fresh basil, 25g spinach quickly stirfried, and a small whole tomato with it. It was so good! About 30g protein I think. I might even have for breakie one of these days.0 -
My breakfast is 326 calories though that could easily be cut down. I make my own Pumpkin Protein Pancakes (original recipe was for waffles but it's just easier for me to throw the batter on the grill for pancakes. Recipe
is
1 scoop vanilla whey protein
2 TBSP quinoa flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 rounded tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
3 TBSP egg beaters
1 TBSP skim milk
Just the pancakes are 186 calories 1F/15C/27P
I make 2 nice sized pancakes then top with the following
16 g Almond Butter 95 calories (8.5F/3C/3.5P)
147 g sliced strawberries 45 calories (11C/1p)
1/4 cup Walden Farms pancake syrup 0 calories
I'm not crazy about pumpkin but I don't feel like I really taste it in this recipe. My daughter likes it
with 1/4 cup of mashed banana better but I prefer the pumpkin. Super easy to make, super delicious and extremely filling!

Two things alternate for most breakfasts:
#1 - Coco Lite Whole Wheat Pop Cake with 2Tbsp peanut butter, plus 3/4 C skim milk. (under 300 calories total). (Pop cake is a 20-calorie rice/wheat flour thing about 6" in diameter, crunchy - like a rice cake with a less annoying texture.)
#2 - Thick-cut oatmeal (1/4C), Greek yogurt (1/2C), 1/2 oz walnuts, 3/4 frozen mixed berries (thawed), 1T all-fruit spread, 3/4C hot skim milk in my coffee (a bit over 400 calories total).
#1 is for when I'm running out the door to an exercise class or rowing. #2 is if I have more time at home. But #2 will hold me pretty well for a good share of the day if necessary.
Gotta have protein and fat to satiate, and I minimize carbs that don't come with either fiber or a healthy dose of antioxidants/vitamins. Oh, and I'm vegetarian.0 -
Lately it has been egg and cheese on some type of carb. Last week it was on waffles and this week it has been on half of a croissant. I may go back to oatmeal a little next week. Normally it's a mix of oatmeal with fruit or egg sandwiches. I don't eat cold cereal that often. Maybe once a month if any. It just doesn't fill be up.0

Oatmeal with a few teaspoons of brown sugar. I love oatmeal. I could live off that stuff.0
-
eggs or oatmeal keep me full. but, try a protein shake or protein bar. i like quest's stuff. they have 20g protein, are low in carbs/sugar, and keep you full.0
-
Pre morning workout I have yogurt and a banana. Post morning workout I have Frosted Mini-Wheats.0
-
Two Eggo waffles (plain and only 2g sugar) and coffee - or a Pumpkin Muffin (from the Crabby Chef cookbook) - and some berries.0
-
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt, I add Splenda and vanilla. And a boiled egg. Lots of coffee.

Love 2/3 scrambled eggs (no butter or oil) with half a grated courgette. Lightly cook the courgette then mix in the eggs. I do have a piece of fruit around 3 hours later at work but other than that keeps me full til lunch (5.5 hours later). Personally work better having a small brekkie and a bigger dinner when i get home0

My typical breakfast
Coffee
1.5 cup of cereal (Cheerios or bran flakes)
3/4 cup whole milk
10 grams slivered almonds
30 grams blueberries (I mix it up with strawberries and bananas)
This generally gets me 3-400 calories depending on variations on fruit type and amount and which cereal I eat. Bran flakes are much higher in calories than Cheerios.
Using skim or a lower fat milk would lower the calorie count but I want the whole milk and higher fat because I have a highly active job and need the calories in the morning. This does keep me satisfied until lunch time.0 -
I got so many great suggestions here that yesterday I went to the grocery store and stocked up! For breakfast this morning I had a cup of plain Greek yogurt with 2 ounces of blueberries. I think one of the posters is right when they say that having breads for breakfasts sets you up for a day of hunger. I'll see how today goes with more protein early on. Planning a big egg white omelet with veggies for lunch!0

I like to mix it up. Some mornings I have egg whites, a slice of toasted Dave's Killer Bread, and a banana, and others I will have oatmeal, or a serving of Kodiak pancakes. If I eat the same thing over and over I'll get bored.0
-
A quest bar.0
-
Either Fruit (something like an apple & sml banana) or Bacon Medallions on Toast.0
-
eating a quest bar right now, with a small bowl of berries.0
-
Bacon & eggs, liver mush & eggs, sausage (rarely) and eggs. Good protein in the morning holds me very well0

During the week I always have oatmeal. After its cooked, I put a tblsp of crunchy pb, 3 tsp of brown sugar and a tsp of cocoa powder drizzled all across the top. I let it melt a bit and then spread across the top. I do not mix in. This way I can get some topping in every bite. It takes a long time to eat and keeps me full for 300 calories.Protein, fat & fiber are filling
Greek yogurt parfait - Greek yogurt, berries, Fiber One, a few nuts....2% Greek if you don't like nuts
Oatmeal made with milk (for protein) and a sprinkle of cinnamon & nuts.

I drink a Premier Protein shake from Costco and eat one ounce of Walnuts. I have one basket of strawberries that I eat per day as snacks between breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner. I typically eat 400 cal meals three times a day. I eat on average 1350 calories per day. I exercise for 30 min which burns the 150 cal so I'm back to my 1200 cal goal. I have lost 2 pounds per week over the last four months. I always have a bottle of water with me and i keep my snacks with me at all times as well so I'm not tempted to cheat out of starvation.0

Other than the frittata I love "hash" made with leftover roasted veggies (The pic is butternut squash, cauliflower and scallion) and topped with a runny egg, or slices of tomato topped with spinach/laughing cow and a runny egg.

I am on the 1200 cal, too. Normally, I like to eat cereal with almond milk and it holds me for a while. This morning, I had Greek Yogurt at approx. 5 in the morning, and I must say I didn't get hungry for lunch until well past 1! I was really surprised-I think it's the protein.0

2 Eggs, served over kale, avocado and whole wheat toast and an apple (or whatever fruit I have around). This is my go to every day0

Oats, brown sugar and chia seeds. Keeps me full for 5-6 hours.0

Plain Greek yogurt
Oatmeal
Banana
Hemp hearts/chia seeds

My overnight oats are 1/2 cup oats (the thick cut, real ones, not quick cooking) in a mason jar, cover with 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup plain non fat greek yogurt. Stick it in the fridge--in the morning stir it up and add whatever fruit or nuts or whatever you want. Low cal high fiber toast with fresh ground peanut butter and banana, 100 calorie greek yogurt with fruit and either flax seed or chia seed, green smoothie--2 cups spinach, 2 cups water, 1 banana, 2-3 cups of frozen fruit, 2 T of flax seed (that makes enough for 2 servings in one day or 2 days--especially good if you are busy--I put it in one of those shaker bottles from GNC and take it with me if I am running around so I am not tempted to grab useless snacks just from being unprepared). One thing I really love--sounds goofy but it's yummy--oatmeal topped with 1/2 cup blueberries and a poached egg. Yep--an egg on oatmeal. Delish.0

I love overnight oats. It keeps me full until lunch:
1/4-1/2 c old fashioned oats
1-2T chia seeds
1/4 c nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1/4 c unsweetened almond milk
1/4 t vanilla extract
1/4 t almond extract
1/4-1/2 c frozen berries
Pinch of salt
Stevia to taste
Mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients in separate containers, then mix. Mason jars work well. Refrigerate overnight and it'll be ready in the morning.
If I anticiapte having/needing the calories, I'll add more oats and/or yogurt for more fiber/protein. I'll also sub half of the oats with leftover cooked quinoa, rice, other grain. That makes it good.
Of course you can vary the fruits and the flavors/spices. I like bananas and PB2 (more calories), chopped apples and cinnamon, blueberries and bananas, banana and cocoa powder, instant coffee and something, pumpkin purée and banana and cinnamon?, cooked sweet potato purée and apples and cinnamon?
You could rearrange and add some protein powder, too - perhaps instead of yogurt.
I've eaten this all summer. I anticipate trying some pumpkin purée and popping it in the microwave for a minute when the cooler weather gets here.0
