Breakfast???

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.0

forget the cereal!!! Go for eggs and cottage cheese, mix the cottage cheese in when eggs are almost done
You can also add in a protein shake too0 -
egg white omelet with a shrimp is pretty good. i also do cream of wheat some mornings.0

Made some instant maple oatmeal from trader joe's with some soy milk mixed in...and two boiled eggs...should hold me over until snack time @ 10:300

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.0

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.0

Add protein to your breakfast.0

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!0

scrambled egg/turkey sausage patty/piece of fruit.
oatmeal topped with fresh blueberries/fruit
pancakes made with wholewheat flour/fresh fruit
scrambled eggs mixed with low fat chorizo/low fat mozzerela cheese
all the above are under 300 calories0 -
English muffin with all natural skippy peanut butter and topped with a banana. Yummy and keeps me full for a long time.0

I agree add protein
I love greek yogurt
peanutbutter toast
or a breakfest burrito with 1 scrambled egg green peppers and onions. but add any veggies you like. I like jalapenos when i;'m in the mood for a kick. i dip mine in salsa as well0 -
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.0

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!0
-
you could add almonds and a banana to your cheeros to make them more filling too0
-
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 instead0 -
Turkey BLT!0

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
Blend0 -
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!0

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.

I rarely eat cereal....I almost every monring eat an eggwhite omlett with veggies, slice of cheese, and 1 slice of either bacon or deli ham. YUM@0

You know I never did eat breakfast, unless it was on the weekends, and then it was a hugh helping of bacon, eggs, grits, toast with lots of butter, hash browns....crispy...coffee, mmmm, NO NO, NOT MMMM....LOL
Bottom line, I now eat a banana....that is it....I enjoy it and still only eat breakfast if I am really hungry, and it's the same ole, banana...LOL
It is worth it not to eat the way I use to. Good luck on whatever your goals are here....

I love a bowl of porridge in the winter. When it's proper nasty outside and I've still got to get to work, Bran Flakes just won't do it.
At work, we have breakfast club for the kids and they always serve porridge with honey. And bacon, eggs beans and fried bread! That will set you up for the day!
When I was a kid my favourite thing was to have Corn Flakes (Kellogg's not the evil Tesco ones my Mum kept buying) with the cream from the top of the milk and a big spoon of sugar. Spot the 70's kid!0 -
Old Fashioned Oatmeal w/frozen blueberries and applesauce added in. Or, an eggwhite and cheddar breakfast sandwich, sometimes with turkey bacon, on a sprouted wheat english muffin.0

I usually eat a slice of toasted whole wheat bread with a thin coat of jelly for flavor. and a couple scrambled eggs! fills me up until lunch and is not many calories...the eggs are like 140 cals for two (70 a piece) and the bread (natures own whole wheat 14g per slice) is 50 cals a slice!! (=
i also like to eat a can of tuna (5 oz nothing added just tuna plain) and a hard boiled egg for breaki sometimes.... doesn't sound like a typical breakfast meal but thats why i like it =b tuna has very little calories and a whole can (5oz) will be plenty to fill u with a boiled egg!!0 -
I read somewhere that eating about 30 grams of protein for breakfast helps all day with reducing hunger, maintaining energy, and preventing dramatic dips in blood glucose levels. I have been trying this for about a month now and can honestly say I have seen all those results. I have 4 eggs scrambled on 2 slices light wheat toast every morning. It's about 420 calories, but I stay under my calorie goal with my workouts. Before this, I tried the cheerios, but I always felt worn out half way through my workouts. This new breakfast plan + a change in my workout routine has helped me bust through a plateau I have been on for several months. I am back on track with weight loss and feeling better than ever!0

I usually have eggs and breakfast sausage. Today I was running late, so I picked up a sugar free protein shake. Mmmmm....0

SMOOTHIES!!! I cut up & freeze my fresh fruit, then I add raw fresh spinach, nonfat plain greek yogurt, Flaxseed, water, blend!!! You can change it daily!! It fills me up and I'm not dragging around feeling like I'm going to fall over!! Then after your workout if your hungry then eat something!!! Good Luck:)0

One of my favorite breakfast is:
1 mini bagel with 2 T weight watcher cream cheese
1 Morning Star Veggie sausage pattie either regular, maple or hot n spicy
1 fresh fruit my favorite is a peach or strawberries with this breakfast
I toast the bagel put a tablespoon on each side and the sausage in the middle.
Some days I go to work at 7am and don't get a break until 1pm this usually stays with me.
Good luck and have a great day
