This vegetable omelette cooked in lightly mustard oiled pan has been a life saver. I feel more energetic, fuller throughout the day, and do not feel deprived at all. I’m afraid to skip this for breakfast because I feel that will put me on the wrong track and I’ll snack on bad foods throughout the day.

    Looks delicious! What combination of veggies are you using?

    Over time, I've found several types of breakfasts to feel satiating so I don't feel the need to snack constantly. Overnight oats with plain Greek yogurt (protein!) and fruit (fiber! fluid!) are another option that I find filling. I've always found it interesting how the response we have to different foods are so individual!

    That omelet looks awesome, I used to make veggie scrambles for breakfast but they aren't as pretty as that! I do the same as @summery79 these days, I make a batch of steel cut oats in the Instant Pot with chia and flax seeds and cashew milk then reheat with apple chunks and cinnamon then stir in nonfat Greek yogurt.

    For a high carb super healthy breakfast... 100% Oatmeal! For me I add a handful of raisins, chia seeds and a teaspoon of honey or Ginger syrup.

    When I want small and protien 2 hard-boiled eggs.

    Overnight oats, or whole wheat english muffin with and egg and turkey bacon. I also like an egg scrambled with veggies such as zucchini, spinach, green peppers or grape tomatoes.

    I recently read someplace that you should pair eggs and broccoli - I honestly never thought about it. But I made myself a veggie mix of mushrooms, spinach, broccoli and zucchini for the week and made omelets with that and feta cheese in the morning and it definitely kept me full longer. I happened to pick up some Fat Free Feta and definitely noticed the difference without the fat - I couldn't figure out why I was hungry! Also, it seems when I start your day with some veggies it is easier to meet my macros.

    Vegetable omelets are one of my staple breakfasts. I use some kind of greens (spinach, kale, chard, whatever), and then whatever else I have on hand (broccoli, zucchini, asparagus, leeks, mushrooms, etc.), plus a bit of feta. If I want more cals I pair with fruit (often half an avocado) or cottage cheese or maybe plain lowfat greek yogurt.

    I'm eating no animal products for Lent so currently doing smoothies mostly (hate cold cereal and like oats okay but prefer my smoothies just as a matter of taste) and don't find them (for me) less filling, but omelets are a great breakfast.
