Breakfast ideas that don't include eggs, hot oatmeal, or yogurt?

For the last month, for breakfast I've been having 1 tin of Trader Joe's - Unsalted Sardines In Spring Water with 8 Triscuit crackers, which has the virtue of not needing to cook it.

I like to have an avocado on toast (which I call AvocaDOAST XD) or an almond butter toast topped with slices of banana. I sometimes pair that with a spinach or kale smoothie to which I add fruits and a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra protein. Total is usually around 285 - 310 calories.

For under 300 calories, I often make an apple-almond butter sandwich on whole grain bread. I'm using Dave's Killer Bread thin sliced at 60 calories a slice, half a Pink Lady apple, and 1 T of the kind of almond butter you grind right in the store so it doesn't get all hard to spread.

my husband dislikes eggs, so he does a lot of sides forbreakfast, like some roasted potatoes, fruit and bacon. Either that or he does english muffin with peanut butter, small bagel with cream cheese and tomato, cottage cheese and melon, or a protein shake or smoothie, stuff like that. If you like to cook, you could always make a breakfast hash and just leave out the egg. You could fry one on top if you are feeling it. I like to make bison quinoa hash and put an egg on it, it tastes like a taco bowl.

Chicken stir fry.

veggie soy sausage patty on an english muffin. for 300 calories you should be able to add a slice of cheese.

what is the obsession with avocado on toast?

It's a perfect combination of flavour and texture, crunchy toast with soft creamy avocado, and better still with sliced sweet cherry tomatoes ![/quote]

Bleh. Don't like avocado's

Yeah, I'm a frikken picky eater who should just grow up, but I'm also 52 and pretty much set in my ways as to what I like and don't like.

Why not skip breakfast and just eat later in the morning or break your fast at lunch?

I skip breakfast too. Then I have a light lunch, sometimes a Granola bar in the afternoon, and a big supper.

What about some protein pancakes?

I make a version that comes in at around 400 cals total including toppings (50P, 28C, 8F), but you can alter the ratios of the ingredients and/or substitute to your own taste.

I use:
60g unflavoured Casein Protein (2 scoops)
1 whole egg
1/4 cup SR Flour (you could sub oat flour or similar)
pinch of Baking Powder
Just under 1 cup of Low Fat Milk (enough to get the right consistency).

I top it with some SF Maple Flavoured syrup and berries (or put some blueberries in the batter).

Just make as you would a normal pancake, but a tip is to put a lid over the pan when frying the first side - that way it steams the top a little and the overall texture is almost the same as a 'real' pancake.

I ate this "cake" in the AM for a while, 233 calories per serving... http://paleomg.com/carrot-breakfast-protein-cake/

Avocado toast

Chick pea flour "frittatas" can be made ahead and reheated in the microwave. I like to make a veggie hash, tex-mex style with black beans, corn and salsa. Dave's Killer Bread Power Seed, toasted and topped with avocado and tomato, or nut butter, bananas and hulled hemp seeds. Date balls are a good option too because you can eat them on the go and they give you a lot of energy to start the day with. Smoothies with unsweetened plant milk, spinach or kale, and frozen fruit. You could also do breakfast tacos with tofu scramble instead of eggs. If you have a waffle iron, you could make a batch of high protein waffles on the weekend and then freeze them to be reheated in the toaster and top them with homemade chia seed jam.

That's what I do!
