What do you eat for breakfast?? I love Cheerios, but on the days that I go work out, which is generally all of them, that doesn't cut it. I feel like I'm going to fall over. Do I just suck it up and eat the oatmeal or eggs or whatever since I'm burning the majority of those calories that morning anyhow?

    I love doing a banana with either Honey Nut Cheerios or Special K with light soy milk. I also like scrambled egg whites and turkey bacon, a wheat bagel with almond butter, or oatmeal with banana and some cinnamon or spicing in it. :)

    forget the cereal!!! Go for eggs and cottage cheese, mix the cottage cheese in when eggs are almost done :smile:

    You can also add in a protein shake too

    I have 1 cup (cooked) oatmeal, 1 protein shake with frozen strawberries, and one banana for breakfast. it's about 430 cals and my largest meal of the day. I usually have half the banana before i workout and the rest when i get home from the gym. If you're going to eggs, which is always good, try to use eggbeaters or egg sensations with one whole egg added. that'll keep the cholesterol down. but add a carb to that.

    I like to eat Quaker no salt rice cakes and spread a bit of jam on it. Low calorie, lots of fiber, and very filling.

    I too generally work out in the mornings. I usually have a bowl of cereal 30 minutes before my workout and sometimes have some wheat toast and a glass of juice. 30 minutes later I'm hitting it at the gym and then afterwards I always have something to eat, whether that be just a few slices of deli meat, fruit, or a granola bar! Listen to what your body wants after you workout, it generally wants something more healthy than just when you are sitting around and wanting to binge!

    pancakes made with wholewheat flour/fresh fruit
    scrambled eggs mixed with low fat chorizo/low fat mozzerela cheese

    all the above are under 300 calories

    I have been eating a lot of Multigrain Cheerios for breakfast, but I eat my dry. I eat that with a cup of chocolate milk and 2 eggs. Fills me up and I don't need anything until 10:30am (I eat breakfast at 7:30, and eat every 3 to 4 hours). Sometimes I can even go without my morning snack and wait for lunch.

    Most work days I have Fiber Plus cereal with skim at home and then have a fiber one bar when I get to work. Every once in a while I will do a whole wheat waffle with peanut butter.... weekends are a free for all!

    I avoid sweetened, refined cereals like cherios
    When I look at the nutritional value it seems to be the same as cake so when I want to spoil myself for breakfast I just do it properly and have a custard danish instead :(

    On the days that I work out I make a protein shake. I have it 645 am and it will leave me filling full and satisfied until 11 am

    1 cup Vanilla coconut milk (I don't like the taste of soy or almond)
    1 tbsp all natural peanut butter
    1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
    1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    half tray of ice
    Blend

    I'm a big protein bar lover. If you find the right ones, you wind up craving the taste instead of detesting it. Try Think Thin bars, specifically the creamy peanut butter and brownie crunch flavors. They're delish. Otherwise, I'd suggest what everybody else is....eggs, cream of wheat, oatmeal, etc. Good luck!

    This morning I had 1/4C of egg beaters (southwestern Style), an English Muffin, and 4.5oz of Cantaloupe...

    If you are thinking of doing eggs every morning, I'd switch to something with less cholesterol like egg beaters.
