I'm in a little bit of a predicament. I just started my weight loss plan last week and I am doing really good. However, I am SO sick of eating whole wheat bagels and oatmeal. I really don't like either food, but everyone keeps telling me those are the best things to eat! I don't know what else I can eat! HELP! I have been eating a bowl of oatmeal (yuck) or a whole wheat bagel with light cream cheese (gross) and a fruit (love it), but I just can't do it anymore. Any ideas on alternative breakfast foods that are just as healthy??

    Hmmm...I love oatmeal and eat it almost everday, some others I eat are...

    scrambled eggs
    wheat toast with a little PB on it
    cottage cheese w/ fruit
    fresh fruit smoothies
    cheerios w/skim milk (make sure you measure it out! b/c it's easy ...for me atleast... to fill up a big bowl full of cheerios and get a lot more calories than I should..)

    try a scrambled egg on a toasted whole wheat english muffin-thats my favorite breakfast!
    Also you don't always have to eat breakfast foods for breakfast, eat whatever you want (in moderation ofcorse)

    Some other ideas:
    egg omeletes
    toast
    smothies
    yogurt with fruit

    Awesome. I had thought of scrambled eggs, but people confuse me with the whole egg whites vs. yellow deal. Does it really matter?

    Regular eggs just have more cholesterol in them.
    I usually do a regular egg and some egg whites...mainly for color (egg beaters neon yellow/orange freaks me out a bit).

    the yellow part has more cholesterol, that's why some people eat only one whole egg plus 1 or2 egg whites. personally one fills me up!

    I actually get the weekly emails from "Eat this, not that" and according to them you can have an english muffin sandwich with an egg and cheese for less calories and fat then a wheat bagel with light cream cheese! So I'd maybe try some other things anyway. Not sure if you like cereal but that's a breakfast you can change weekly and just make sure to measure it out and use skim milk and it's a light breakfast that's yummy! Or you could whip an omlette the night before with egg whites and tons of veggies - good for you and filling!!!!!!

    Good luck! :glasses:

    I graba slimfast creamy milk chocolate shake drink when I'm on my way to work. On top of that I'll either have an apple or a mini babybel low fat cheese circle also. That keeps me totally full until lunch time!
