Has anyone any filling breakfasts they’d recommend? I really struggle to find a ‘healthy’ option that keeps me full up until lunch time

    A healthy meal will generally be "filling", but you're not supposed to feel full between meals, just somewhat full right after a meal, and hungry before meals. My normal breakfast is crispbread or rye bread, and milk, or porridge, and fruit+veg. You should eat what you like. If you're running out of ideas, google or buy a cookbook.

    I like to cook up a 1/2 cup of rolled oats and add some cinnamon and honey.

    I dunno if it's exactly healthy but it keeps me satiated until lunch time - bircher muesli/overnight oats. Just need to mix 1/2 cup oats, 1 small grated apple (or half a large one), 1/4 cup yoghurt and 1/4 cup of apple juice and leave in the fridge overnight. I usually top it with some extra yoghurt, berries, and some slivered almonds.

    That's basically the only way I can eat oats because porridge is gross.

    I am more satisfied if I don't eat breakfast. I wake up hungry, but can ignore the hunger better if I don't eat compared to the hungries I feel if I do.

    I need breakfast or I would lack energy for my morning workouts.

    My go to breakfasts are:
    poached or scrambled eggs/wholewheat toast
    cheese and spinach omelette
    porridge with fruit, nuts and honey
    bacon/egg and toast

    These keep me full til lunch.

    I've been eating these lately with some greek yogurt and I really love them! I make them with whole wheat pastry flour and change up the fruit every week. They are usually around 200-225 cals each

    For me the brekkie that keeps me fullest for long is a hot bowl of oatmeal with nuts and fruit (hot, soupy-style food is said to keep you satiated for longer).
    Another favorite is a protein waffle with fruit and PB (waffle: 1 scoop whey, 1 egg, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp oats and 1-2 tbsp creamy yoghurt).
    Chia pudding with milk, fruits and nuts usually works as well.

    My breakfast is a cup of tea, followed by 10.5 mile walk yesterday and a 77.5 mile bike ride today. I do enjoy a good lunch following my exercise though.

    On weekends, my breakfasts consist of "dippy" eggs (over easy) and bacon. Weekdays are harder for me. I don't want to dedicate time to cook a breakfast in the mornings (because I will need to wake up even earlier and I don't want to do that), and I get tired of hard boiled eggs. Usually, I just prep a protein shake the night before and grab that as I'm walking out the door. My shake keeps me going until lunch time, and even longer if needed.

    plain yogurt with chocolate PB2, banana and oatmeal (eaten as 3 separate things) is my go to. I find a protein, fruit and grain works best for me. Sometimes I might have a couple of eggs, whole grain toast and and apple or orange instead.

    For me for the past week has been my protein angel food cake with fruit.

    Do you just buy box Angel Food Cake mix and add protein powder?

    Omelettes
    Oats
    Sausage and lentil stew
    stuffed peppers

    ETA: being "full" all of the time isn't normal. It is normal to be hungry at times and in particular before your next meal.

    For a quick easy breakfast I do two pieces of Ezeikiel toast with a quarter avocado on each slice (mashed) I top with a tomato slice and some sliced red onion. Then on both slices I put an egg over easy or for a lighter day I will scramble egg whites with mushrooms and put that on the side of the toast. This is a great protein rich meal that will seriously keep you full with good fats, fiber and protein.

    Also if you're having trouble staying full until lunch you can try breaking up your breakfast. I sometimes will have half of it before work and half of it when I get to work/ between when I get there and lunch.

    This is what I do.
