Breakfast

What foods do you like? How much time do you have to prepare and eat breakfast? How many calories are you aiming for a day? Are you hungry in the morning? Which types of foods make you feel most satisfied in the morning?

I eat a big breakfast of eggs, toast, vegetables, coffee, cream. It's my biggest meal of the day and the one I consistently have the most time to eat and enjoy.

Your goal is keeping with your calorie limit for the day which means you need to eat a breakfast that works with your body to maximize satiety. In my case I need to eat protein and fats in the morning and avoid refined carbs in order to keep my blood sugar stable and avoid a mid morning ravenous binge. I eat lots of things like an egg scrambled with black beans, a little avocado and salsa. I try to keep my breakfast under 1/3 of my daily calories so there's room for an afternoon snack when I'm hungriest. If you hate breakfast then maybe a mid morning snack would be better - or even waiting till lunch. Or maybe you need something hearty like oatmeal with a little protein powder mixed . Or a cup of Greek yogurt. Just pay attention to when you seem to feel hungriest and how your body responds to different types of macros and you can build and eating schedule that best suits your goal of sticking to your calorie limit.

Are you hungry for breakfast? Do you have time/like to cook in the morning? What do you eat now/like to eat?

I eat eggs and vegetables and maybe some smoked salmon most days, but that's because I like those things.

What do you like to eat?

Today I had 100g of sliced turkey for breakfast. It was yummy, and what I was craving. Sometimes I have 1 cup of Stonyfield French Vanilla Greek Yogurt with 1 serving of Whole Grain Total cereal crumbled on top and a side of fruit. Sometimes I skip breakfast and eat a bigger lunch or a bigger lunch and dinner. Sometimes I just have a huge bowl of watermelon/cantaloupe/honeydew. Or an apple. Or a green smoothie....

Sometimes I like 2 scrambled eggs with bacon. Sometimes I eat a donut if I am in the mood. Egg McMuffin. Whatever I feel like eating, I eat it - log it - and move on. Some things are foolish choices (donut, lol) and then I have to make adjustments later on.

I find that eating cereal for breakfast tastes good but does not satisfy for long unless I eat 3 servings at once. And it still doesn't satisfy for long. Eating more protein and fiber helps me feel fuller longer.

I go through phases. Last few weeks I've been eating an egg and bacon sandwich. I've also eaten oatmeal, scrambles( eggs, potatoes, bacon, veggies) English muffin w peanut butter...

I either eat eggs or I saute apple, Brussels sprouts, and bacon. Sometimes I eat leftovers from previous day's dinner, or I make frozen chicken strips. Nothing says you have to eat breakfast foods for breakfast if that's the issue.

Eat whatever you like that fits your calories.

Eat something you like that will keep you full until your next meal.

If I have time to cook I have:
Bacon and egg
Bacon and mustardy mushrooms
Salmon spinach and scrambled egg
English fry up!!
Porridge with fruit or seed topping

If not I have:
Greek yogurt with fruit
Olives and cured meats
Or nothing and an early lunch

I love oatmeal! I have it with fruit and seeds and/or nuts. Portion size is the key...I'd love to eat a full cup of oatmeal but that would mean a smaller lunch, and I also love lunch.

I eat the same thing every day for breakfast: 1/2 cup scrambled egg whites with cheddar, served on top of a slice of sara lee light 45 calorie bread, toasted. Comes in around 225 calories. Super filling and has protein, fat, and fiber for long satiety.
