    Oh, dear. Now that you've mentioned white gravy, I'm craving it right now.

    I usually have a protein shake with almond milk, peanut butter, and Genisoy protein powder. It's actually incredibly filling. I have a juicer, so sometimes I will make juice in the morning and drink that. I used to make oatmeal with brown sugar, almond milk, and slices of banana and blueberries. Pretty simple.

    Just Google "healthy breakfast." Sauces and gravy are killers at every meal. Fruit, whole wheat bakery products, high fiber cereal, yogurt, eggs, nuts and even turkey sausage links or bacon can all help you have a tasty meal to get your day started.

    Good luck.

    chocolate gravy! drools.

    I have yogurt and fruit, or an english muffin with peanut butter. Recently I got some cereal and add that to my yogurt and berries too. A while ago i was on an oatmeal kick too.

    on the weekends I'll have poached eggs and toast, sometimes throw in bacon too. Or w'ell have pancakes. So I save the weekends for those treat breakfasts but still stay within my limits.

    I try and have 4 egg whites, some turkey bacon or sausage, and a bagel or bagel-thin with sugar free fruit spread.

    If I'm in a rush I'll mix up some chocolate shakeology with fruit and almond milk.

    I usually just have oatmeal with nuts and a piece of fruit. Keeps me full through the morning.

    Also, you generally want breakfast to be your larger meal so feel free to fill up with 300-500 calories depending on your current plan.

    Hey, I eat syrup flavoured porridge and I put in some poached plums or apples. Quite nice. :smile:

    I don't. I don't wake up hungry. Never have. In fact, I kind of wake up the opposite of hungry, with zero appetite. All's I need is coffee.

    i usually eat some sort of fruit or fiber one bar, i have never been a breakfast eater so one huge step for me was actually eating breakfast (it does work). However, you don't have to give up all of the goodness...i use eggbeaters when i make eggs, i still use regular bacon but i only eat 2 pieces instead of 6 but you can also use turkey bacon/sausage, the other day i had eggbeaters with 2% cheese on healthy life bread and the whole thing was under 150 calories.

    Special K or oatmeal with fruit and almond milk, scrambled Egg Beaters, and/or turkey sausage. I "spend" 300-350 calories on breakfast because it's typically my biggest meal of the day.

    I eat lots of fruit! It's obviously good for you and the water in it helps to make you feel more full. I eat eggs on wheat toast 2 or 3 times a week as well. I usually scramble mine with ground red pepper (spicy additives are known for reducing you appetite) or I'll boil them. I also just recently discovered Kashi 7 grain waffles... SO GOOD! Only 150 cals for 2 of them. I've been cutting out the syrup and using reduced fat strawberry cream cheese on them instead.

    A lot of people choose egg beaters because it has the same protein as eggs but with less calories and no fat or cholesterol. if you have the room in your diary, you're welcome to go for regular shell eggs - they're good for you. But if you're struggling to keep your calories down, egg beaters or egg whites are a great alternative.

    I wait until I get to work to eat at 8:30 am and just have a glass of water and calcium pill at 6:30 am.

    I loooove breakfast, your "before meal" sounds so much fun!

    To bring to work Fibre One cereal and 1 Silhouette yogurt is my #1 choice so thats only 135 cals (Fibre One is 100 cals in Canada, 60 cals in the US, when I contacted General Mills to see if the ingredients were different I was advised the US and Canada calculates nutrition differently, dumb!)

    I love All Bran more but if you put the milk in before work it turns into a paste (which oddly enough, is still good) and putting milk in later can spill in your lunch bag so I reserve All Bran for weekends.
