I scramble 2 eggs with salt, pepper, about 10-15g of shredded chicken on a tortilla wrap. Don't usually have problems with hunger til just about lunch time.0

Greek yogurt, oatmeal, leftover chicken, eggs with avocado. Think protein!2

I have a cup of soy milk for breakfast, then I'll have a good-sized snack mid morning: some cheese, high-fiber crackers, a piece of fruit, sometimes an ounce of almonds. The soy milk tides me over until I have my snack, and then I'll also have a mid afternoon snack so as a result I'm seldom hungry.0

Breakfast for all 7 days of the week is a big high-fiber tortilla wrapped around chopped and sauteed celery, onion, mushroom, meat, egg, fat, and salsa. On work days I add a protein shake to the meal. It's usually about 500 calories. I have no trouble waiting for lunch.1

I'm a huge fan of Orgain protein shakes for breakfast. Plant-based and organic none of the harmful additives or chemicals that can harm our bodies. I add a quarter of an avocado or a tablespoon of olive oil or tablespoon of peanut butter and I'm full until lunch. Plus a whooping 24 g of protein to start my day and very easy just throw it in the blender with almond milk and I'm done.1

Just started changing up my breakfast routine, previously would have some oats and some type of eggs, recently some avocado / thin slice salmon / eggs on slice of toast, really noticed difference in getting through to lunch without hungry at all0

200g egg white omelette with spinach, mushrooms, onions, topped with 60g avocado and 100~ cals of an interchangeable carb source, usually fruit, but sometimes potato or squash1

Oatmeal. If you make it the night ahead, you only have to hear it up in the morning, and I find it super filling. You can make it however you want too, with protein powder or matcha or banana (my fav) to spice it up.
It's not super protein filled necessarily, and I find it works better in cooler weather.0 -
2 eggs and a Greek yogart.1

Oatmeal with egg whites mixed in is one of the few things I've found that will keep me full all morning. My usual recipe is: 33g oats, 10g bran, 10g cocoa powder, cinnamon, 12g PB2, 70g egg whites, and then 1.5 tablespoons low sugar jam and 12g peanut butter mixed in when it's cooked. Sometimes I'll also add things like chia seeds, flax seed, banana, frozen raspberries, maple syrup, coconut, etc.
Leftovers are good too.1 -
I usually have a banana, Greek yoghurt and granola. If I'm extra hungry I have extra fruit, but it's not usually needed.0

7 tablespoons of egg whites (fried, omelette, or scrambled), 3 pieces of Canadian bacon, cheese toast, and for a carb addition I will do a small amount of hash-browns (a frozen choice from my local grocer)0

I rotate among 4 breakfasts
a protein smoothie made w/ 1-2 scoops of protein powder and frozen blueberries. Doesn't keep my full till lunch so not really what you're looking for but it does travel well
scrambled eggs made w/ any veggies or leftovers I can find in the fridge. At the very least it is handfuls of sauted spinach, onion, green pepper & eggs. Corn, squash or potato is good. Just about any kind of leftover fish is good in there. I love this with a pack of wholly guacamole and some salsa, no cheese. this is great and pretty fast & cheap. Doesn't travel well as I like my eggs fresh. My husband and I usually enjoy this on weekends.
Oatmeal. I mix 1 c steel cut oats & 2 c water and bring to boil the night before. Turn off heat and let sit over night. In the morning, stir in a c of either greek yogurt or milk and heat it up. eat w/ walnuts, fruit, etc. portable, easy, cheap.
Greek yogurt and fruit. I use plain yogurt. Maybe add a T of maple syrup or my homemade jam if I'm craving sweet. sometimes I stir in some cereal or raw oats or chia. this keeps me fuller than oatmeal, its cheap and portable.

Large amounts of red bell peppers, mushrooms & spinach (I get frozen chopped spinach) sautéed in olive oil. Add eggs & scramble them in. If I want to spend the calories, I add Kashi brand frozen waffles, sometimes with some (real) maple syrup. I like big breakfasts & eat a much smaller lunch.
Basically, add some veggies & possibly another source of fiber. FWIW, I don't bother with bread products that aren't high fiber. They just don't seem like a good calorie to satiation payoff me. I haven't found an english muffin that works for me, but Kashi products & Joseph's tortillas do.0 -
250(ish)g cottage cheese/greek yogurt mixed with 17g crunchy peanut butter, 6g PB2, 10g chia seeds, and sometimes 40g sugar free jelly. I combine it with an apple (100-200g) and 3-6 cups of black coffee for a total of about 410-480 calories. It has 35-40g of protein, helps me meet my fat goals (I'm always struggling to hit it -I'm a volume eater), and I'm getting some slower-acting carbs that won't send me into the 300s thanks to the fat within the meal.0

Protein shake, eggs, ham, yogurt and granola.... Any of those normally keep me fine until my next snack 3 ish hours later0
-
Fruit with nut butter, Greek yogurt with high-protein granola, scrambled tofu with veggies and black beans, or a protein shake. I eat a banana on most mornings, either with peanut butter or in a protein shake. If I get enough protein for breakfast, I'm good until lunch.0

Oatmeal. I mix 1 c steel cut oats & 2 c water and bring to boil the night before. Turn off heat and let sit over night. In the morning, stir in a c of either greek yogurt or milk and heat it up. eat w/ walnuts, fruit, etc. portable, easy, cheap.
Do you let it sit on the stove overnight?0 -
Here's what I eat.
2 eggs
1/2c black beans
1/2 can chicken or tuna
1-2 wedges laughing cow cheese
Hot sauce or salsa
Mix them together but in a pan - it takes 2 minutes.
It keeps me very full for 3+ hours and is delicious and high protein.
If I'm truly still hungry (very rare), I'll have fruit.0 -
An appropriate answer to OP's question depends on individual daily calorie target and macro nutrient goals. At 2200 calories per day and targets of 55% fat, 25% protein and 20% carbohydrate (this is a blood sugar control diet for my diabetes, as well as weight loss), my typical breakfast is 4 eggs-broken yoke and fried with cooking spray, 3 links of brown and serve type sausage, and a banana. This generally keeps me satisfied from 9:30am to 4:00pm.
The negative is that the carbs from the banana pushes the meal over target, as does the fat in the sausage to a lesser degree, so later in the day I have to make sure to have a couple servings of really lean meat to get my day fully back in ratio.0 -
+1 for eggs and avocado, or turkey and avocado. I had 1/4lb turkey and an avocado on a bun around 0930 yesterday and wasn't able to eat lunch till 1500 because I was so persistently full.0
