What did you have for breakfast?

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.

Serving of quinoa + 1/2 c greek yogurt + banana and berries

Whole grain teff porridge (my new favorite) http://www.eatingbirdfood.com/banana-almond-teff-porridge/ SO FILLING.. make several servings and it's easy to tupperware up and heat when you need.

This morning: 1 Breakfast Scramble patty from BOCA Burger (THESE ARE AWESOME. FROZEN FOOD SECTION) + 1.5 eggs with sauteed onion + bell pepper + guac.. 60g of apple.. half a banana.. 370 cal for everything.

Breakfast is gross.

I have a protein shake if I'm working out. When I get to my office, I have a cheese stick, banana, and 2 Brazil nuts for my underactive thyroid.

Depending on how hungry I am, I keep pears in the fridge and protein bars in my desk.

I'm not a huge breakfast person either but I've noticed I'm getting better at it haha. I usually go with:

- small tortilla with 2 scrambled eggs (sometimes I thrown a bit of greek yogurt while I scramble), 1/8 cup of cheese, and either sausage or ham. I have a thing for breakfast burritos right now but I need to go shopping so I'm eating what I have lol

- 5 oz plain greek yogurt with a little fruit and honey, sometimes I'll add pecans

- 1 egg over easy, a slice of cheese on a high fiber english muffin with a bit of butter and some fruit on the side

I try to make breakfast my biggest meal of day. Go down from there. Today a little smaller
This morning.
Half cup egg whites, 1/4 c. Egg beaters.
Pico de gallo and spinach topped with ff cheese.
Small high fiber tortilla
Plain choboni greek yogurt with T. Of sugar peach jam. Tea. Was out of fruit this morning.
High protein, low sugar, moderate carbs. Low fat.

That sounds good but I would need to modify it just a little. Salsa is to high in sodium and potassium si I would have to eliminate that. I could maybe use just a tiny bit of chicken because there is protein in the egg and I need to limit protein but it sounds workable! Anyway you can post that casserole recipe?

I make my own salsa so it's not high in sodium. As far as a recipe, what I do is roast two trays of vegetables (zucchini, yellow squash, asparagus, cauliflower, etc.) at 425 until nicely browned. Spray a large pyrex and add the vegetables and mix in fresh spinach. I add egg whites just to cover and bake at 350 for 35 minutes or until set.

Cranberry juice with an emergen-c packet. 1 banana with almond butter. Skinnypop popcorn.

Usually I'll have 2 servings of rice with something added to it.
