What do you eat for breakfast?

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.

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.

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!

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.

Thank you! Im thinking along the lines of eggs and veggies mainly and oatmeal on some days.

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.

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.

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.
