    When I'm short on time and resources (the usual eggs, cheddar, and turkey sausage w/green peppers and garlic), I fix a bowl of plain oatmeal and stir in a packet of Justin's Maple Almond Butter. I almost always keep both in stock.

    I do an EAS shake(Energy Athletes Strength), they are around $4 for 4, 17 g of protein, 2g of carbs,no sat or trans fat either. I also have a coffee & a cup of strawberries.
    I have also done smoothies with low carb Slimfast (strawberry) & used almond milk (less calories than skim) with fruit and sometimes cold milled ground golden flax seed. --depends on if you can stand the texture!

    new to this site, looking for new ideas. my normal is a bagel thin with low fat cream cheese, an egg on toast, pb on toast, cereal with ff milk, breakfast bar and fruit, etc. what keeps you fuller longer? I am needing to cut back on carbs and protein, thanks!

    Don't know why you would have to cut back on proteins, just to let you know MFP settings are set really really low for protein so if you are going over on their original settings, it does not mean much, you may have to tweek it.

    But question at hand...5 -6 egg whites with lots of veggies some cheese and a high fiber/low carb tortillia or English muffin, it will keep you full for a long time and it's yummy.

    Also, protein and fiber will help keep you fuller longer, so don't cut back on your protein.

    why do you NEED to cut back on carbs and protein? That only leaves fat, and while fats isn't bad for you it doesn't supply you with the building blocks that protein does.

    I'm having to cut back on protein bc I am eating too much of it. I know that protein keeps me fuller longer as well as fiber. I have lost 40 pounds on another program but now, I have 10 left and I wanted to try something else to kick up my weight loss bc I had been slacking.. really just losing motivation. this is different than my old program, so when I enter my normal, I am over my protein.

    Protein smoothie and coffee. Total cal: 720

    Keeps me going for a long time. Usually my biggest calorie meal.

    my favorite is 3 egg whites scrambled with mrs. dash southwest and 2 tbls fat free cheddar- spread /4 cup fat free refried beans on a whole wheat tortilla (80 cal) and top with a couple table spoons of salsa- roll up and enjoy breakfast burrito bliss. This normally keeps me full for hours as its so high in protein and fiber. Mine comes out to about 200 calories depending which tortilla I use.

    yum! sounds amazing, thank you :)

    A low-carb, ww tortilla, a smear of spicy ff refried beans, 1/4c of cooked soyrizo, 1/4 of scrambed Egg Beaters, and some salsa verde. Wonderful protein filled breakfast burrito.

    This week, do to suggestions on this site, I've been making a breakfast sandwich to eat on the way to work. Light english muffin, one turkey sausage patty, ff cheese slice, and sometimes will add in a egg beater with veggies mixed in to it also. Keeps me full.

    I'm pretty lazy and usually don't have time to make anything extravagant (lol, like eggs.) So, cereal is usually my go-to breakfast. I'm a sucker for sugary cereals. It's my downfall.

    My husband and I each have two large eggs and a piece of turkey bacon :) It takes less than 10 minutes for me to cook in the morning and even less time to eat, plus it's always nice to have a hot breakfast!
