I know there a lots of ideas out there for breakfast . Right now I've been doing Oatmeal for Breakfast for just too long and today when I was about to eat it, I just gagged . Could not eat it all. Seems like too many days , same breakfast is just enough. Would like to keep my calories day but with a satisfying breakfast. Any ideas?

Leftovers from dinner...
Think outside the traditional breakfast box, eat whatever you like!7 -
I now have 2 eggs, chicken sausages, often with bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, rocket.
It's been great so far very filling and because the sausages are chicken the calories aren't too heavy.
Since swooping my breakfast I've actually had better weight loss.4 -
kodiak cakes (protein added pancake mix), hard boiled eggs, turkey sandwiches, toast & avocado,5

I'm no help, lol, I have oatmeal today. But yesterday I had a double yolked scrambled turkey egg (my brother raises turkeys) with a little cheese sprinkled on top. The day before I had Great Grains Raisins dates and pecans granola cereal. Another day it was a pre-made breakfast burrito with sausage, eggs, and sautéed peppers. One morning it was leftover carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower from supper before.1

I do veggie scrambles, they are so good. I pretty much add whatever I have- onions, peppers, asparagus, brussel sprouts are my favorite add ins. Cook the veggies in a touch of kerrygold butter and then add 2 eggs. Nom nom nom.2

Eggs with turkey sausage and the Special K cinnamon/brown sugar protein cereal is good.1

I switch it up from eggs & veggies to a yummy shake with fruit and veggies. Sometimes I just do veggies with hummus, sometimes hard boiled egg whites, etc. I just found this recipe yesterday and made one last night, had it for breakfast this morning and it was delish...
One large banana chopped and slightly mashed
Two hard boiled egg whites chopped up
Two tablespoons of any kind of nut butter or seed butter (I used PB2)
Unsweetened coconut flakes
One medium apple chopped (I used green)
Handful of blueberries
Handful of nuts (I used plain raw almonds)
A dash of chia seed and a dash of turmeric
Mix it all up... it's like a Paleo oatmeal and is incredibly delicious, filling, easy to make and super healthy3 -
I also like oatmeal with lots of different fruits. Today I had raisins in it, one time I made pineapple coconut oatmeal, another time peanut butter chocolate oatmeal. I never use the little packets, I always make from scratch. I wonder if strawberry oatmeal would be good? That reminds me, my mom grows lots of strawberries, I cant WAIT for fresh ones!!!2

I've been having blueberry or strawberry Greek yogurt and 2 eggs scrambled with 1T milk. Good protein and keeps me full until lunch. Oatmeal is a little more carbs than I'm willing to dedicate to breakfast but ymmv You might want to try toast or a small bagel with some eggs (instead of the yogurt).1

Eat anything you like. It doesn't have to be a traditional "breakfast food", though there's certainly nothing wrong with that if that's what you want.

Breakfast is defined by when you eat it, not what you eat. That's why I hit up Subway at oh-dark thirty on a semi-regular basis.
That being said, if you're looking for the more traditional stuff...:
- One or two eggs scrambled with a variety of veggies (and maybe a little deli ham or turkey)
- Kodiak Cakes makes good just-add-water single-serving muffins and pancakes
- BLT
- Turkey or chicken sausage on an English muffin3 -
Sandwich+milk, or another kind of porridge than oatmeal, always fruit and veg.1
-
I had a double protein oatmeal english muffin and 1 egg came to about 220 calories3

I need more protein and healthy fats in the morning than oatmeal can provide, or I end up hungry all day long. I usually have egg & cheese on a whole-grain english muffin, or peanut butter on whole grain toast.2

My favorite recently has been a toasted light English muffin topped with about 1/4 of an avocado (about 35g) and a sliced boiled egg. Comes in about 250 cals - less if you just use the egg white.1 -
Virtually every day I have a serving of vanilla greek yogurt (I LOVE the brand Aldi's sells) with Kashi Go Lean (any variety) mixed in (about 1/2 of a serving). Sometimes I add berries. It's filling and gives you plenty of protein for the morning, though it'll be over your calorie goal, topping out at around 300.2

Cinnamon raisin Ezekiel bread with 1-2 TB natural nut butter, sliced banana, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of cinnamon1

Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches are about 250 calories, well balanced, and tasty...quick in the microwave, too. A scoop of protein powder in some milk/coffee/chocolate milk/etc... is also quick and low calorie.1

I need to go type food. I eat baked oatmeal cups that you can add fruit or what you'd like to it, hard boiled eggs, turkey bacon, a few slices of deli ham, Greek yogurt with granola in it, egg salad on an English muffin.1
