    I eat around 10 or 11 - have switched to three meals a day no snacks and seeing a big difference in fat loss and maintenance. I find I am not as hungry. My go-to breakfast is two hard-boiled eggs with Frank's Hot Sauce and a homemade chia pudding.

    Are you using dried cranberries. I used some of those in my oatmeal the other day. Looked at calories after the fact wow lots of calories in a little bit. Going to stick to my frozen blueberries.

    Dried fruit may be higher in calories but they are also high in nutrients. Nothing wrong with them.

    @rheddmobile Tagging you so you see it.

    I'm using fresh cranberries, dried cranberries are delicious but usually made with added sugar which isn't good for my diabetes. Although I do sometimes eat dried cranberries on a chicken wrap with pesto - I have to limit myself to about a tbsp or it spikes my levels. Fresh cranberries also make a good addition to hot tea.

    Fresh and frozen berries of most kinds have pretty low sugar for the amount of sweetness they contain - frozen blueberries sounds great!

    Sometimes I have absolutely no time to make breakfast so usually a cereal bar, smoothie or some fruit.
    Some days I'll have scrambled eggs on a slice of toast or sweet chilli and avocado on toast.

    This week I'm having toast spread with homemade liver pate --at least, it's what I grew up calling pate. It's just cooked poultry liver (we always made it from the turkey liver at Thanksgiving and again at Christmas if we had another turkey, but I didn't cook a turkey this year, so I made it from a pound of chicken livers, which made a much bigger batch than a single turkey liver would) mashed up with mayo, lemon juice, salt, and diced hard-boiled egg. The recipe my mother used called for raw chopped onion, but I saute the onion, with a little thyme if I have it, and I sometimes add a splash of cognac or cherry liqueur. So tasty. As a kid I always liked it spread on a sandwich of leftover turkey in lieu of mayo, but without the turkey, there's no leftover turkey (funny how that works :) )

    Habit and social conditioning I guess!! With hindsight, gotta say, I'll take the eggy brussels over boxed cereal any day. Sheer volume wins for me I'm afraid!

    Three eggs over easy, 3/4 cup plain oatmeal with one cup almond milk, mixed with a tablespoon of powdered peanut butter and half a banana.

    Like others have said, it's my most dense meal WRT both macros and calories, but I find that it works well to keep me going throughout the day. I'm one of those people who craves breakfast (always have), but as was mentioned, there are folks who do just fine without it too.

    I got this overnight oats recipe from Skinnytaste that was really good-had blueberries and bananas in it, and chia seeds. I was skeptical that it'd keep me full all morning but it did, I'm going to make more for this week. :)

    Brussel sprouts cooked with smoked sausage and eggs is my favorite brunch. Brussels and sausage are soul mates. <3

    Two big mugs of coffee and either yoghurt or cottage cheese and fruit. Sometimes toast and a laughing cow wedge, or a "toaster size" ie smaller bagel and same. Once in a while hot oatmeal. If I had my *kitten* together, overnight oats. Once I had a tuna sandwich because I just really wanted that. I do hit the gym pretty much right after and have another 100 cals after and again an hour later and then slide on into lunchtime. So I spread 3-400 cals all over the morning, which I've found works for me.

    Usually a Greek yogurt real early and a cottage cheese mid morning. I find splitting my breakfast like this helps it keep me from snacking.

    a 50/50 mixture of steel cut oats and buckwheat groats. I don't think my big corner grocery store sells buckwheat groats.
    Never thought of this. Do they cook in the same time as the steel cut oats?

    Often dried cranberries also have added sugar. Not necessarily a bad thing, but something to watch out for.
