    Weekdays I usually have oatmeal or leftovers. On the weekends lately I've been enjoying a huge plate of roasted veggies with some form of protein (canned fish or eggs). This morning I had roasted veggies (brussel's sprouts, broccoli, mushrooms, peppers), some leftover roast potato, and a baked Italian egg (tomato sauce, parmesan, an egg, bake in the oven).

    This is also one of my breakfast staples, it's delicious and filling for me. I add broccoli too.

    I'm not as hungry during the day and ravenous at night, so I usually have a very small breakfast. Some fruit, and sometimes a bit of protein added in. Today I had a clementine and a string cheese.

    Today I had 7 oz Fage 2% greek yogurt with a cup of mixed frozen berries, water, and coffee with 1% milk.

    Something I love to make, but I'm out of almond milk.

    4 cups of vanilla almond milk
    1 cup of brown rice
    real maple syrup
    vanilla
    cinnamon

    Combine all ingredients, bring to a boil, let simmer for 45 minutes to an hour until the rice is cooked. Add a couple chopped apples the last 15 minutes and some real apple cider if it needs more liquid (you don't need cider, but if you have it). My 16 year old loves this breakfast, she calls it fall in a bowl and the house smells divine. You can also do this in a crockpot but the texture of the rice gets a little different.

    Another delicious make ahead breakfast.

    peeled and chopped sweet potatoes cooked with half a yellow onion in olive oil until the potatoes are cooked, it takes a while, add turkey bacon (I cut into 1 inch pieces) and cook a few minutes longer so the flavors can blend. I portion this into 1 cup servings and put it in the fridge. I love this breakfast with egg scrambled egg whites mixed in.

    I always make some kind of crustless quiche to heat and eat all week. This week is cabbage/bacon and it's my favorite one - 144 calories per 1/4 of the pan.

    2 egg veggie omelette, with onions peppers tomatoes and mushrooms but NO cheese. A little hot sauce mixed in with some ketchup- under 200 calories and really satisfies until lunch!

    On weekdays, since I eat breakfast at work: granola, greek yogurt, banana, coffee. On weekends, usually scrambled eggs with veggies (spinach, tomato) and a little cheese, add in chicken sausage or some leftover meat from dinners that week, plus my usual banana and coffee.

    I promised my doctor I'd eat oatmeal every day till January, so get that over with during breakfast. Last Friday, out of curiosity, I bought a jar of PB2. Saturday, with great trepidation, I added a tablespoon of it to my morning oatmeal, while it was cooking up. And it wasn't bad at all! So I did it again on Sunday (Monday - Friday, I have breakfast at work so I can't really play).

    I have been trying to adopt a DASH/plant-based diet so I have been doing the green smoothie every morning after a 3 mile walk. I make it with with 6 oz coconut water, 1 tablespoon chia seeds (soaked 5-10 minutes), 3-4 cups kale (or spinach), ~2 cups fresh fruit I freeze (1/2 banana plus 1/2 cup each: apple, pineapple, mango). I also add a tablespoon of organic unsweetened coconut flakes. Yum!!!

    Once in a while breakfast is hot oatmeal: I go for 1/4 cup steel-cut oats cooked in almond milk and topped with a few chopped apple bits and Stevia. It makes a ~3/4 cup portion.

    I am very, very boring. In the warmer weather, my breakfast (eaten around 11:00) is usually cottage cheese with pumpkin and nuts or cottage cheese with chopped veggies topped with sriracha. Once it gets colder, I like oatmeal with pumpkin and protein powder.

    This may sound like a daft question, but we don't really 'do' pumpkin in the UK: I have some tinned pumpkin (I give it to my dog, but it's regular Libby's pumpkin). How much should I put into my oatmeal?

    ETA: I mean for taste, I don't expect anyone to work out my calories LOL!
