Best breakfast to start your day?

I like the steel cut oats with some frozen blueberries in it. Very filling and yummy:) Good luck!

I have a protein shake. It has everything you need and makes you feel amazing! Make sure it is a good one though.

I start my day with 8 oz of nonfat yogurt, 6 oz of fruit, 1 oz of long cooking oats.... filling and delicious, and I've eaten that almost every day for 10 months and have lost 70 pounds.... oh, and try to eat at about the same time each day and never skip breakfast, in fact, never skip a meal

I would have to second the suggestion on oatmeal - very filling. You can use the instant packets at only 150 cal. They have plain and you can sweeten with honey or fruits or the flavored ones. Also, small sandwich with a boiled egg, a slice of reduced fat cheese and few slices of avocado on whole wheat Thomas this bagels ...
Good luck!

this morning i had 8 egg white omelet with spinach, and low fat cheese, fresh squuezed oj, 4 pieces of turkey bacon and some blueberries and strawberries as well.

I agree with Yogurt whole heartedly. I like mine with granola though. I love the ZOI Greek Honey yogurt with a low fat Vanilla granola. YUMMY!

I have a 6oz greek yogurt with granola or fruit. Lots of protien, lo cal and keeps me full until lunch.

egg & chicken bacon made into a muffin

This sounds good..... You have the Recipe.....

Egg whites and 100% whole wheat, unbuttered toast with a side of fruit (blueberries are good) -- the protein in the eggs and the fiber in the whole wheat toast keep you fuller longer, as well as good carbs to help you get through a workout.
Also, sometimes I have a bowl of Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal (1 cup) with blueberries. I do Silk original light soymilk because it adds flavor and isn't harsh on my stomach, but if you're not into that choose fat-free milk. Kashi provides a good source of protein and fiber as well.
If you workout in the morning, a bowl of cereal is good to have a little while before (like a half hour to an hour before). Sometimes if it's been an hour or more since I ate breakfast, I'll eat a banana before a workout. It provides quick carbs that give me a boost of energy to make it through a rigorous workout (involving a lot of cardio).
Hope this helps!

I make these Breakfast Muffins nearly every Sunday evening, for an "on the go" breakfast during the week - I warm up one or two and eat 'em on the drive to work! You could also warm up a whole wheat tortilla with some cheese and one of these muffins for an egg burrito.

You can pretty much make the "filling" however you want - this is how I do it....

To make 12 "muffins", this is what I saute' together in a large frying pan sprayed with no-stick spray:

Chopped onion (I prefer the red/purple onion), garlic, red bell pepper, cooked broccoli and/or spinach (usually both!), "fake" sausage (I like Morningstar Farms Original Sausage Patties - I use 2-4 patties, they are small). I make sure everything is chopped up before I throw it in the pan.

As that's all cooking together I beat together the following: 4 whole eggs, 1 1/2 cups "All Whites" (carton egg whites, this is equivelant to 8 whole eggs), 10-12 tablespoons (approximated) skim milk. (I'm watching my egg yolk consumption, but if it's not an issue for you then you could certainly just use 12 whole eggs instead).

Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Put equal spoonfulls of the "filling" mixture from the frying pan into each section of the prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle with a very small amount of shredded cheese - I prefer Parmesan. Using a ladle, pour egg mixture over the filling/cheese.

I bake at 350 degrees for 12-18 minutes until eggs are cooked through & tops a bit brown, they rise a little like mini souffle's but fall a bit after they come out of the oven. If needed I put the broiler on for the last 1-2 minutes to give 'em a nice browned top.

Once cooled these lift out easily with a small spatula. Because I only used 4 whole eggs for 12 "muffins", there's only 1/3 of an egg yolk in each one, but plenty of egg whites for the protein. This is a great alternative if you are keeping your egg yolk consumption down or watching cholesterol.

Yum!

Ice

porriage is very good

I'm pretty lazy so I don't do it often, but an egg on a whole grain english muffin. Protein and carbs. You could eat fruit with it.

Bump! Thanks for the "on the go" recipes!
