What did you have for breakfast?

My difficulty is eating enough calories so that my body doesn't go into starvation mode and store everything. I have always found it hard to eat breakfast too. So I started out by making myself juice first thing 1 apple, 1/3 of a cucumber, stick of celery and 1/2 a lemon. This always gives me an energy boost. I have progressed to the odd thick shake made with frozen banana and unsweetened almond milk. If I am able to eat breakfast later in the morning then my preferred option is poached egg on gluten free seeded toast or oatmeal soaked overnight in water and heated through in the morning and sweetened with a sprinkling of coconut and raisins or if in season fresh berries. Occasionally I make myself a fresh chopped parsley 2 egg omelette.

MWF, it's a Chobani 100 Greek Yogurt, Fiber One 100 calorie English muffin with 2 T almond butter or peanut butter, coffee, and whatever fresh fruit is in season. 440ish calories, depending on the fruit; 50C, 18F, 26P.

TThSat, it's an omelette (1 egg, 1 egg white) with 2 T grated cheddar, sometimes I'll throw in mushrooms or peppers or spinach; 2 slices Fiber One 100 calorie bread, toasted, with 2 tsp Land o' Lakes light butter; coffee;
and whatever fresh fruit is in season. 440ish calories, depending on the fruit and veggies; 50C, 18F, 25P.

Sunday is whatever my husband cooks :-D

It seems a little monotonous but because it's alternate days, it's really not that bad. I can vary with veggies, fruit, and nut butters and come out pretty close to even. Also, I don't have to think about what I'm going to eat. Also, it keeps me satisfied (and therefore not snacky) through the morning. Also, I know exactly what I have to buy each week.

YMMV.

This morning I had a container of Powerful Yogurt, Key Lime flavor and it was delicious. I usually don't eat a large breakfast during the week and do more of a brunch on weekends.

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.

You legit have the best meal ideas, haha. Can I come over for a weekend breakfast?!?!
