What did you have for breakfast?

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:

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.

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.

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.

I have an 8 oz smoothie for breakfast that has 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, 1 non fat Greek plain yogurt, and 1/3 cup pineapple juice.

Sausage egg and cheese burrito, 486 calories and 33 grams of protein.

a cup of tea

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.

I sauteed chopped onions, chopped red pepper, 2 chopped Asparagus Spears, and a teaspoon of minced garlic in 1 tablespoon of butter. I scramble an egg in a bowl with a little skim milk. When the veggies are done I pour the egg on top. When it's almost done I top it with 1 slice of low sodium American cheese and melt that. I have it with a side of mixed fresh berries. That gets me through the morning. I'm on a kidney diet and this fills the bill for that.

I lifted this morning, so it was a high protein breakfast:

Overnight Oats:
-Mp Combat Powder - Protein Powder- Cookies N Cream, 0.51 scoop
-Quaker Oats - Old Fashioned 100% Natural Whole Grain, 0.1875 cup dry
-Kirkland Signature - Greek Yogurt- Strawberry, 3 oz
-Kirkland Signature - Greek Yogurt Blueberry, 3 oz

Dr. Mcdougall's - Organic Instant Oatmeal Light Maple Brown Sugar, 1 packet
San Francisco Bay Rainforest Blend - K Cup, 2 cup
Quest Bar - Double Chocolate Chunk Bar, 1 bar (60g)
Premiere Nutrition - High Protein Vanilla Shake, 11 fl. oz.

753 calories, 89gs carbs, 15gs fat, 84 gs protein

Oatmeal with some cinnamon; bit boring, but it does the job.

This morning I had 1/2 P28 High Protein Bagel w/ 1Tbsp P28 Banana Raisin Peanut Butter, a baby banana, 1 small mandarin orange, 2 hard boiled eggs, and 2.5oz grilled chicken. While at work it holds me until late morning snack of either a Quest Protein Bar, a greek yogurt, or a low fat chocolate Muscle Protein Shake with a cheese stick.

For weekend breakfasts, I opt for protein pancakes (I use P28 white chocolate protein powder, dark chocolate chips, small banana, vanilla extract, and lite coconut milk and top it with Walden Farms pancake syrup and 1Tbsp of coconut milk whipped cream...mmm)....love weekend breakfasts after a great workout. Sometimes I might do scrambled egg white omelete with grilled chicken and a protein smoothie.

I try to do high protein and healthy food swaps for my favorite foods. I hope this helps with options.
