So basically it's what the title says. I need some healthy breakfast ideas that keeps me feeling full until around lunch time and that's not so bad to eat. I know that's a lot but what are some delicious, low-cal, "feeling-fuller-longer" breakfast foods that you eat? I'm open to all kinds of options!!

    Why not have your regular breakfast and then snack on fruits/yogurt until lunch? I mix chobani yogurt with diced fruit and that keeps me happy till lunch! =)

    A slimfast and a low cal cheese stick is only like 230 calories and I can usually last 4 hours without getting hungry.

    I have plain oatmeal with a little peanut butter in it and egg whites with veggies in them. This is the most filling breakfast I have had.

    I make smoothies.

    Frozen fruit, orange juice, greek yogurt and protein powder --- throw it in the magic bullet the night before and I am all set for the morning :bigsmile:

    I also like bagel thins and weight watchers cream cheese for a "bread" fix.

    I am a grab and go kind of woman when it comes to breakfast (ok, most meals!) and I have a greek yogurt nearly every day w/ my delicious coffee. It offsets the carbs in my flavored creamer quite nicely and leaves me satisfied until Eating Experience #2. Sometimes I will have a piece of fruit with it too, today was a banana.

    boiled egg or poached egg, however you prefer it on a nice slice of granary or rye bread :) suprisingly low in calories but really filling and as long as you don't eat eggs every day they're a great filler...

    my other fave.. porridge, made half milk half water with half a banana or some runny hunny :)

    egg beaters, I either buy cheese and chive or southwestern. These are only like 35 calories for a .25 of a cup! I add about a TBL of shredded cheese and sometimes onions or meat, and then I have a piece of toast with it. Feels you up great and is easy to make.

    I usually do egg whites and i add whatever veggies i have in the fridge and low fat or FF cheese. This will keep me full till lunch. But i do 6 small meals a day just keeps me better and i never feel really hungry becvause im eating every 3 hrs.

    This morning I mixed together: 3/4 c Kashi Go Lean (original), 1 Tbl slivered almonds, 1/4 frozen raspberries & 6 oz. Dannon Light yogurt
    246 calories, 16.8 g protein/ 10.5 g fiber / 4.6g fat (good fat) .... this keeps me full until lunch

    Another favorite - steel cut oats with PB2 (powdered peanut butter) ... you could use protein power also

    Greek yogurt and a baggie of (filling) dry cereal - I pick a cereal with higher fiber & protein (Kashi Heart to Heart usually) - 250 calories 18 g protein / 6 g fiber / 1.5 g fat

    I normally have Chobani yogurt with some granola. It's super filling and I love the crunch of the granola! I also like egg beaters with some cheese and veggies. Hungry Girl has some great morning recipes that are filling and don't cost too many calories!

    I make a smoothie with:

    1 cup of coconut milk
    1/2 frozen banana
    1/2 cup frozen strawberries
    1 scoop of protein powder

    230-240 cals and keeps me full until early afternoon!

    I usually don't feel full unless I've had enough protein. One thing that worked well for me was a mini whole wheat Trader Joe's bagel (90 calories), a morning star farm breakfast patty (80 calories) and a fried egg or egg beaters (in Pam, about 90 calories). That kept me full until lunch for only about 260 calories. Now I usually don't take the time for anything but a bowl of cereal, and I find I need to snack before lunch.

    If I know I won't be able to eat my mid morning snack, then I up my calories at breakfast a bit. One of my favorite breakfasts is:

    2 organic eggs from pasture raised hens
    2 slices of organic nitrate/nitrite free bacon
    1 slice of swg bread
    and a nectarine.

    Calories:
    2 eggs 120 calories
    bacon 60 calories
    swg bread 60 calories
    Nectarine 50 calories.
    Total: 290 calories.

    If you sub 1/2 an swg bagel for the bread, the cal total would be about 350 calories.

    One of my favorite snacks is an apple smeared with almond butter.

    God bless!

    I do bacon or fish with a load of veggies, or sometimes an omelette.

    this morning I sauteed some carrots and peppers and had that with some salami and cheese (the cheese was a bad idea).

    think outside the box and forget making breakfast any different to any other meal. I find if I go protein heavy and carbs from veggies only, with some healthy fats, that keeps me going till lunch. When I was having porridge/muesli even with a heap of yoghurt, by the time I got to work I was hungry

    I have a sandwich:

    2 egg whites
    2 slices of Sara Lee Low Cal bread
    2 pieces of turkey bacon
    190 calories

    That keeps me full until lunch, but lunch is only 3 hours away for me. How long do you go from one meal to the next?

    PROTEIN! It's your friend. :) I usually have a double fiber honey wheat English muffin (or multi-grain waffle) toasted with natural PB, honey, and cinnamon. Delicious and keeps me full for several hours.

    A favorite morning smoothie/shake:

    1 cup fat-free or low-fat chocolate milk
    1 frozen banana
    1 scoop whey protein powder
    2 tbsp flaxseed
    2 tbsp wheat germ
    1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

    Blend and enjoy!

    I take 2 eggs and spinach and or salsa, and make a breakfast burrito. You could add a couple of slices of deli ham or turkey sausage, or morningstar farms links. I also like to use the OLE' High Fiber wraps... get most of my daily fiber that way.

    Also, subways breakfast sandwiches on flatbread are good. Buy as a combo with coffee for $3.

    Peanut Butter and banana sandwich on whole wheat toast is another option.

    I don't know if you are OK with non-traditional breakfast foods. I'll eat anything in the morning, lol. Lately I have been eating a slice of whole grain toast (homemade, I slice it on the thicker side) and spread one ounce of hummus on it. I haven't even been snacking in the mornings because it has kept me so full.
