From experience, what breakfast satisfies and fills you and doesn’t leave you crashing for a day of a sucky diet?

    Yep - eat what you like for breakfast that is likely to hold you over pretty well and decide if the calories will still allow what else will work for you during the day. It's not unusual to have a few rough days figuring it out.

    I love eggs. They keep me full the longest especially if I eat them with potatoes or avocado. Lately I have been eating 2 scrambled eggs with a small amount of cheddar cheese and avocado. Keeps me full for hours.

    This is just me, you’ll have to play around to find what keeps you on track. This is my typical breakfast time meal (but not always my break fast meal). 4-5 egg whites, 1 serving of shredded cheese, 1 serving of uncured canadian bacon, some salsa, 2-4 slices of toast with sugar free preserves and a bottle of water. Off the top of my head it’s about 50g of protien, 40g of carbs, and 5g of fat. Depending on my day it will keep me full from 4 to 8 hours. I can’t eat right when I wake up for the day. I go 2-5 hours before I’ll actually eat after I wake up.

    A lot of different foods satisfies and fills me. You read that right, enough food, and a variety of foods.

    Why are you on a sucky diet? What is it about it that makes it suck? And are you still on a sucky diet, if you eat food that satisfies and fills you?

    Protein enriched cereal for me most days

    Fruit and Skyr (or some other type of low-fat, high-protein yoghurt). Fairly high volume, lots of nutrients.

    It is such an individual thing but I find a balance of protein, carbs and fat works for me. My most filling breakfast is porridge. I personally like oats with chia seeds, a scoop of protein powder, almond milk, greek yoghurt and fruit (berries or banana). Good luck with finding what best works for you as it can be trial and error.

    I also eat skyr, sometimes with a tablespoon or two of muesli.

    I almost always have cereal. Without sugar, with milk, sometimes with yogurt, sometimes with fruit.

    Two slices of whole grain toast (higher fibre and decent protein) with peanut butter and jam works best for me. If I don't have that it throws my whole day off.

    High protein cereal for breakfast. I also have a high protein/fiber yogurt with breakfast or a little after breakfast.

    I have great success when I eat Oatmeal in the morning. I can also be satisfied with a meal replacement bar. I am not much of a breakfast eater regularly so a bowl of oatmeal keeps me full until just about lunch time.

    I prefer to transition into a diet so for me the first week is about food choices that are nutritionally high value with less regard to calories. This makes it easier when the deficit starts in full for me.

    My standard breakfasts are the following. The first three are around 400-500 calories. The last is 250ish.

    Two pieces of 12-grain wheat toast with around 30-50 grams of avocado, a slice of cheese, 2 oz of ham and some tomato, made into a sandwich.

    Scrambled eggs(2) with cheese and ham, a slice of buttered toast and some apple slices.

    Two hardboiled egg whites, with some almonds, walnuts and cashews, apple slices, grapes and a babybel wheel.

    Greek yogurt (different flavors of Oikos Triple Zero) with a small amount (20-25 grams) of granola.

    I find I need a good combination of carbs and protein to feel full until lunch. Most of these work well. I'll sometimes do cereal and milk if I'm in a super hurry. Weekends I tend to do brunch instead of breakfast, so I'll splurge on something bigger in the 800-900 calorie range and just not have lunch.

    I am up at 4am for my work out. I usually just have coffee until around 10:30. Lately - my favorite breakfast is chicken sausage, eggs, and a sweet potato hash. It's the perfect balance for me and I don't eat again until around 3.

    My go-to breakfast is half a grapefruit with 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, 3 turkey sausage links, and a hard boiled egg. Out of eggs or really hungry? English muffin with 2 tablespoons peanut butter.

    I eat a big b'fast generally (around 6am). 3 eggs, 4 pieces of bacon, toast with avocado, small amt of dark chocolate.
    I usually eat a small sandwich around noon (bagel thin with cream cheese and deli meat) and a handful of almonds around 2pm. I'm not usually very hungry again until 5pm.

    I have breakfast at 7 am. Lately, I've been having either:

    1 slice of Dave's Killer 21-grain bread with a little honey and cinnamon and a fruit

    OR

    A fruit smoothie with almond milk, frozen banana, strawberries, some pineapple, and a handful of spinach with a slice of Dave's Killer 21-grain bread.

    Both keep me satisfied until 10 am or so, and I have lunch at 11. I also drink a 33oz bottle of water throughout the morning between breakfast and lunch.

    Love coffee with big breakfast. For me, it’s a big breakfast burrito with tons of veggies and salsa on a high fiber wrap. Keeps me full til lunch! I highly recommend volume eating (lots of veggies).

    whatever you want? I find if I eat just eggs I get hungrier way sooner and I don't know why. Most people get filled up by eggs. I never have. I like potatoes with my breakfast like shredded hashbrowns because they tend to stick with me longer.

    My three breakfast choices that I have on rotation are:

    1. egg whites with cheddar
    2. bagel thin with butter, banana with chocolate PB2
    3. Smoothie - Cashew milk, PB2, banana, frozen strawberries, ice

    Works for me!

    I tend to eat a late breakfast if any at all...and it's usually pizza.

    For me fiber with fat works. I like oatmeal made with 2% milk (adds protein) and a sprinkle of walnuts. Splenda & cinnamon for flavor. Plain oats (made with water) have no staying power for me.

    For others it's protein and fat. That could be full fat Greek yogurt or eggs. I like a homemade "Egg McMuffin" on a high fiber English muffin.

    It's different for everyone. Just keep trying out different things.
