I am trying to overhaul my diet one meal at a time and take this step by step. I am starting with working on breakfast. I have a few healthy ideas in mind for myself but I am curious! What is your go to breakfast? Does it keep you full? Curious!

I have three go to breakfasts:
1. 2-3 scrambled or fried eggs, 2 slices high fiber toast, 200ish grams raw fruits/veggies, 8 oz milk, coffee
2. 2 soft boiled eggs, 2 slices high fiber toast, 200ish grams raw fruits/veggies, 8 oz milk, coffee
3. overnight oats made with milk, protein powder, and 140g fruit, plus 8 oz milk and coffee
All are filling and come in around 550 calories. Also, I aim for 30-40 grams of protein at breakfast.5 -
Thank you! Im thinking along the lines of eggs and veggies mainly and oatmeal on some days.0

It is strange but I love tuna for breakfast. 4oz canned tuna, 1 tablespoon mayo, and 10 wheat crackers. It keeps me full for 3 or 4 hours usually but that's just me.5
-
siggi's skyr yogurt with a cup of berries added in
or
2 hard boiled eggs
or
egg cups made in a muffin tin, using eggs, cheese and crumbled turkey sausage, veggies
or
anything high in protein that keeps me full0 -
Almost every single day I eat 5 egg whites scrambled with .5 oz of low fat cheese, 1 serve for bran buds with 3 oz. skim milk, and either two turkey sausage or 2 microwave cooked bacon slices. 300 calories, 37 protein, 13 fiber. It keeps me for a few hours.0

I find it most filling when I use wholegrain items or if I bulk out the meal with fruit. We grow apples in our garden and recently had a lot to use, so I would put 1-2 in with my granola and it bulked up the meal nicely without adding too many calories. You could probably cook it in to porridge too and add a hint of cinnamon and vanilla to taste. I'll usually make something quick with eggs if I want to start the day with protein.
- Granola with natural yoghurt, bulked out with fruit (e.g. apples, bananas, etc.).
- Overnight oats (oats and natural yoghurt) with berry jam or honey.
- Porridge with cinnamon and raisins.
- Fried/poached eggs on wholegrain crispbread with caviar paste.
- Boiled eggs with soldiers.

Eggs and veggies can be filling (more of veggies less of eggs). If you're not averse to adding beans (someone above suggested) or lentils, that makes for filling breakfast! Cottage cheese (also above) could help as well.0
-
You could try almonds in your oatmeal, nice crunchiness (plus filling)0

Lately, a bowl of Chex chocolate cereal....who knew chocolate for breakfast could be so RIGHT!!! I like that my iron count goes way up after I eat this!0
-
Banana and blueberry smoothies with rice/ soya milk pinch of cinnamon delish and really filling0
-
Oatmeal anything! I usually eat oatmeal with honey + flaxseed, my boyfriend eats oatmeal with blueberries + banana + flaxseed. Super healthy and super filling, I don't even get hungry if I eat oatmeal before and go to the gym afterwards!
It's actually so filling that I'm considering eating oatmeal for lunch too, because it's very low calorie and is far more filling than a smoothie or another low-calorie food, I find.1 -
I've been having porridge for the last 9 months. It is of the flavoured variety and I make it with almond milk.0

Oatmeal (by itself) isn't filling for me. I make it with milk for added protein, and stir in some chopped nuts for fat. Then it has staying power.
I also like Greek yogurt "parfaits." Fiber One cereal, nuts & berries.0 -
40g porridge oats, 200mls semi-skimmed milk, 10g dried fruit of some kind, 10g honey. Microwave. And two big mugs of coffee with 100mls each semi-skimmed milk and 1 teaspoon each sugar (this is non-negotiable).
That's it for me most mornings though on very warm mornings during summer I switched to granola with greek yoghurt.
This morning I had 3 slices back bacon, two potato farls, Tiptree ketchup, two slices Warburtons Farmhouse loaf. A bit of a calorie bomb but that with two big mugs of coffee has kept me full all damn day!4 -
Smoothie every single day (whole milk, frozen banana, frozen berries or chocolate, or pumpkin, sometimes nut butter if I'm super hungry). 250-350 calories. I never get sick of it.0

I have a Starbucks grande latte at 8am for breakfast. Lol. Works for me though. 170cal and holds me over till about 11. Then I have an apple and then lunch at 12:30.2

I am another who has 3 go-to breakfasts (obviously, I eat only one per day). ;-) All of mine are 350-400 calories.
2 egg vegetable omelet (at least two vegetables, one of which is a green like spinach or kale, sometimes more), with either smoked salmon, cottage cheese, or low fat Greek yogurt on the side, sometimes berries too.
Steel cut oats with protein powder and berries (or occasionally banana or apple or pear) with some sauteed or raw veg on the side.
Smoothie (got obsessed with these over the summer and carrying them into the winter) with a mix of vegetables, protein powder, dairy, sometimes nuts or seeds, and some fruit (in season in the summer, frozen now). I play around with different combos that sound good, for example lately they involve spinach or kale, lots of spaghetti squash, green pepper, homemade cashew milk, some Fage greek yogurt, protein powder, and frozen strawberries and some sage.1 -

I am so grateful for all of these suggestions!0

My typical breakfast I'd a bacon and gouda breakfast sandwich or ocassionally sausage sandwich. If it's a more grab and go situation I'll have a protein bar. I find the sandwiches filling....the protein bar is adequate but not as satisfying.2
-
My goto breakfast is chicken breast, egg whites, and mushrooms covered in salsa.0
-
Oatmeal is delicious! Also, I like fruit and yogurt!1
-
During the week I don't have much time so I eat a cereal bar while I'm getting ready, then have an apple once I get into the office.
At the weekend i'll make scrambled egg or omelette with whatever bits I have left in the fridge.

I always have 2 cups of coffee with sugar and half and half that is 140 calories. Most days I have 2 boiled eggs some fruit and a 100 calorie Greek yogurt. It is usually around 400-450 calories depending on the fruit. I am at maintenance but when I was eating at a deficit I usually either had fruit or yogurt but not both. This is my go to breakfast and always keeps me full until lunch. Some days I will have half a bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon with my coffee. I like this breakfast but it doesn't keep me as full. I do sometimes add a boiled egg (I really like eggs) or some fruit. I like Oatmeal in the winter time too, but mostly I have eggs, coffee fruit and yogurt just about every day. I never need a snack before lunch. Even when I have the bagel..0

I make home made muffins with whole wheat flour and oatmeal, bananas or carrot/zucchini, greek yogurt. I eat one for breakfast with some coffee with protein powder added.0

Cheerios Protein and an apple3

My in a hurry week day go to's
2 eggs, cup spinach(cook with eggs) and salsa in a whole wheat tortilla.
Or Banana, cup of what ever milk you drink, handful of nuts.
If I have more time...very rare protein pancakes, cooked apples
Or a veggie frittata with goat cheese

Fage 2% Greek yogurt - I like the ones that are individual portions and have a fruit mix that you stir in. 12 grams of protein, 140 calories.
My other favorite breakfast is 2 brown rice thin stackers (or rice cakes) with 1/2 cup cottage cheese. I like to have this with a side of fruit too.
I also like over easy or scrambled eggs with toast or a potato and sautéed greens like kale or spinach
Sometime I'll make a shake with 8 to 10 oz of coconut water mixed with 2 scoops of chocolate whey protein powder. I have this with a banana.

If I'm on a low carb cycle my favorite breakfast to have something healthy and fast to get me out the door on my bicycle is this. I make a batch up and keep it in the fridge in a large round plastic jug from the dollar store. I order all the stuff on Amazon and make a huge batch. I buy blue berries to add to it and almond milk and sometimes I use frozen berries but they turn the milk pink.

When I'm not low carb my favorite breakfast is long cooking whole oats. I add my favorite berries (cut up if strawberries, walnuts, and sometimes a few raisins. I also have a banana or half banana (my husband will share with me usually).
If I'm in a hurry i have plain yogurt (not low fat) or greek yogurt, I add frozen berries, thawed (sometimes i thaw them 2 minutes in the microwave, mix it and that's my breakfast. You can add stevia if you feel it must be sweetened. I like it as is.
All of these hold me to lunch no problem and then I can come in after my ride and have a big veggie omelet for lunch to fill me low cal for lunch after my bike ride. Oh yea I always have a coffee too.0
