I find breakfast is the hardest meal for me to get inspired to eat. But I want to stop skipping it, so hoping you can give me some ideas for yummy breakfasts, what did you have?

    1. Plain steel cut oatmeal with fresh blueberries, sometimes strawberries and walnuts.
    2. 3 Eggwhite Omlette with steamed spinach and slice of low fat Finlandia Swiss. Swap spinach for peppers and onions sometimes.
    3. Non fat Greek yogurt smoothie with frozen or fresh fruit (mango and black cherry is my favorite right now). I use a little ice and 1/4 cup low fat milk.

    All pack some good protein and keep me full until lunch, with a coffee in between (black no sugar). Typically doing this has me at under 200 calories by lunch.

    OooooOOOooo I love me some breakfast.

    I usually start my day off with eggs because I feel better for the rest of the day, and I'm able to stick to my calorie goal without feeling like I'm starving or craving. Even other proteins don't seem to give me the same feeling, and I usually end up craving sweets and junk throughout the day.

    My go-to breakfast is:

    2 over-easy eggs on toast with some E.D. Smith jelly. (usually 1/4 tsp or less of oil to stop the eggs from sticking).

    I love breakfast. My problem is not letting breakfast blow my calorie goal for the day. Right now, I've been eating muffins and baked oatmeal. Here are my two favorites:

    http://www.emilybites.com/2014/09/pumpkin-chocolate-baked-oatmeal-singles.html

    I also like overnight oats.

    I am also not a breakfast person.... but if I don't eat I turn into a hangry lady. I seem to go from not hungry to hunger pains in 5 mins which used to lead to lunch time bingeing that lasted all day.

    I have found a "odd combo " for me. It keeps me happy for a good 4 hours.

    Smallish/ medium banana, 1 hard boiled egg and a couple dried figs. This is also super portable..... but probably not for everyone hahaha.

    I also think breakfast does not have to be "breakfast food" but I'd definitely try to get some fiber and protein involved.

    I like breakfast as well. If I'm at work I usually have oatmeal with dried cranberries and walnuts. When I'm getting off work and about to go run or hit the gym I usually have a banana and a granola bar. If I'm at home, I normally eat cereal.

    On rest days, I would eat 2 eggs scrambled with 2 whole wheat eggo waffles with 1 tablespoon PB and 2 tablespoons syrup

    All of those are under 500 cals

    My breakfast was 4 oz 2% milk with 4 oz water mixed with a scoop of chocolate flavored whey powder, followed by 2 sausages and a fried egg. The egg was fried in the scant drippings from the Johnsonville Breakfast Sausages.

    I also have oatmeal 1/2 cup before cooking, with 1 tsp of fruit spread, walnuts, and dried fruit (raisins or cranberries).
    Or eggs (omlette, scrambled, or hard boiled) with English muffin and 1 tsp of butter
    Or occasionally cold cereal with milk and fruit, (when I am in a hurry).
    No matter what I eat, I always have coffee. 1 cup for breakfast and water the rest of the day

    today was one egg over easy with a slice of dave's killer bread toasted. I rubbed a garlic clove on the toast then smashed a quarter avocado on top. While the egg was cooking I tossed 3 oz of grape tomatoes into the pan. Ate the egg on top of the avocado toast with the tomatoes on the side and a cup of coffee with a squeeze of lemon.

    Sometimes I eat cottage cheese with berries and cinnamon or veggies and salt and pepper.

    Sometimes I eat oats with chia and berries and nut butter.

    Sometimes I eat hard boiled eggs with fruit or veggies.

    Sometimes a smoothie.

    Sometimes leftover dinner.

    A single slice of multigrain toast with sprinkled grapeseed oil instead of butter. Some chopped up strawberries with a sliced half of banana. Coffee with milk and sugar.

    Other favorites are smashed avocado on multigrain toast with salt, cayenne, and lime. Quick steel cut oatmeal with flax seed meal mixed in, and plain yogurt on top. Two egg omelettes the way Julia Child makes them.

    I made a big Belgian protein waffle using the Kodiak Power Cakes pancake mix, pumpkin puree, an egg, protein powder, cinnamon, stevia, and raspberries. I topped it with spray butter, more cinnamon, some vanilla powdered peanut butter, and syrup. I work out in the morning, so this was my post-workout meal. Just under 400 calories [43c/8f/36p].

    One Capuccino

    I skip breakfast. It is easier for me. I don't feel hungry til lunch. (And I would feel hungry if I ate only a small breakfast). This way I can have a bigger lunch and/or bigger dinner which in turn leaves me more satisfied. Intermitent fasting.

    If I want to have a nice breakfast I "save" some calories during the week and have eggs, bacon and chili baked beans :smile:

    I had a cup of frosted flakes with 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond milk with coffee of course. :) It comes to 164 calories, 1 gram of fat. the only thing really high is the sugar at 15, and the carbs which is 36. I try to stay under 200 calories for breakfast lunch and snack. leaving most of the calories for dinner.
