What do you like to eat for breakfast?

I like pancakes with made egg and banana batter instead of flour, or wholewheat bread with peanut butter and banana, or a two-egg omelet with a few slices of avocado.

My favorites are: whole grain toast with either a boiled egg or some avocado and a bit of cheese (whatever I have on hand), and some bacon. With the ingredients I use, it usually comes out to approximately 200 cals and keeps me pretty full. Lately I've been getting a bit sick of that, so I've been having peanut butter sandwiches (one slice of bread and one tbsp of peanut butter) with a glass of 2% milk. I was SUPER hungry today, but that was because I ran two miles this morning and skipped my milk before going to work.

I've discovered that I simply CANNOT have sugary breakfasts anymore, unless I have plenty of protein with them. If I'm gonna have waffles or something like that, I have them for dinner now because having all that sugar in the morning throws my blood sugar off for the whole day and I feel AWFUL all day long every time I do it.

I use egg beaters to make a low calorie omelet, 1/2 cup egg beaters, 1 tbsp cottage cheese lowfat, 1/2 cup sauteed mushrooms in olive oil = 128 calories. Sometimes I add broccoli, it depends on what's available. No cholesterol either! Usually I'll have yogurt with this or a bagel thin.

This keeps me going til midday!

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.

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.

Oatmeal with a few teaspoons of brown sugar. I love oatmeal. I could live off that stuff.

Pre morning workout I have yogurt and a banana. Post morning workout I have Frosted Mini-Wheats.

1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt, I add Splenda and vanilla. And a boiled egg. Lots of coffee.
