Breakfast ideas?

steel cut oats is a good choice (or even old fashioned style rolled), Steel cut take time to cook (unless you get the 3-5 minute kind which I don't recommend) . The carb to protein ratio is considerably far apart. Unless you up your protein later in your days meal planning I would suggest taking a hybrid approach from the above poster.

I stir in either a good quality protein powder or better yet a flavored greek yogurt (oikos triple 0 is my go too) to even the playing field some from a macro standpoint. Using the flavored yogurts eliminates the need for any sweetener and makes the oatmeal more "interesting" IMO.

I often have steel cut oats with greek yogurt and fruit (usually bananas, peaches and strawberries). I mix it up at night and leave it in the fridge over night. Soooooo good!

So I'm trying to loose weight. I've lost almost 23lbs of my 30 goal but it has taken 4 mo's. I know I am supposed to be eating more protein than I am but it is just so hard for me to get it in other than the protein bars or protein shakes which I do love. I love the Stonyfield organic smooth and creamy low-fat French vanilla yogurt with fresh fruit. Is this a bad choice? I usually eat it about 4 times a week for breakfast. The other days is generally a chocolate protein shake with peanut butter and half a banana. My skin is saggy and I haven't lost in inches. What am I doing wrong?

On the weekends, I toast or oven bake two sopes (see pic) and then put two eggs inside of it and salsa (preferably homemade with chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro and spices). Under 4
00 calories. Half that if you only make one.

2 toast w/ 1 tbsp of peanut butter and a banana, 1 cup of 1% milk to drink.

Whatever you were going to make for dinner or lunch, have that. It doesnt matter what and when you eat. Food is food. This morning I am having grilled chicken thigh with roasted veggies and arugula for breakfast.

I'm the same way. Not a huge fan of bacon and eggs. A nice chowder full of chunks of fish and veggies? Now that I can wake up to!

Here lately I have two go that I go between.

Overnight oats in a mason jar

1/2 cup oats
3 oz yogurt
1/2 cup unsweet almond milk
2 tbsp. chia seeds
1/3 cup frozen fruit
1 tbsp. honey
1/3 cup granola

The night before add the first 4 to a mason jar and mix well, then add the frozen fruit. Put the lid on and put in the fridge. The morning of, take the jar out of the fridge and take to my office. Stir well then add my granola and nom nom nom. (I have a 30 minute commute and it is still cold and yummy when I get to my desk)

Scrambled eggs in a mason jar

Night before, add any meat, veggie, topping you want in the bottom of a mason jar. I usually do drained and rinsed black beans, sliced black olives, mexican shredded cheese and baby spinach I have chopped up. Then scramble two eggs with a little unsweetened almond milk and pour into the jar. Put the top on and put in the fridge. The next morning take the jar out and take it to the office where I microwave it for 1 minute, take it out and stir it, then microwave it for 30 second intervals until the eggs are cooked the way I like them. Top with hummus and salsa (or don't top it with anything it is all up to you) and take it to my desk and nom nom nom.
