Best breakfast to start your day?

coffee is the best breakfast to start my day

With a shot of tequila

Yogurt with fruit. I like to mix and match fresh or frozen:

blueberries
blackberries
raspberries
peaches
mango
banana
strawberries
cherries


If I use frozen fruit I measure it the night before and put it in the fridge to thaw. Also grapes on the side are so refreshing in the morning when I have them on hand.

If you're going to eat eggs, eat WHOLE EGGS. Everything that makes an egg nutritious is basically in the yolk.

And yes, I eat 2 to 3 eggs for breakfast most mornings, other days I eat oatmeal, depends on the workout I'm gonna do that morning (oatmeal for cardio, eggs for strength training days.)

But seriously, egg whites are essentially nutrition-less, they don't even provide a complete protein.

Sorry, but I respectfully disagree with this statement. Egg whites are a terrific COMPLETE protein source for those watching their fat or cholesterol intake. Most recommendations say 1-2 whole eggs per day is fine for most people, but if you need to watch cholesterol then 4 whole eggs per week will do fine. While the egg yolk certainly does have terrific nutrition, SOME people DO need to watch fat/cholesterol intake as per the advice of their physician OR their own personal preference, and therefore look to egg WHITES for a great Protein source.

"Egg white protein is a complete protein with diverse benefits for your health. A complete protein includes all nine essential amino acids for adults. Anyone with nimble kitchen skills knows that egg white can easily be separated from the yellow egg yolk, making egg white a convenient and easy source of low-fat, low-calorie and complete protein.

Complete Protein
Egg white protein is considered a "perfect" or "complete" protein, because it contains all nine essential amino acids. These nine amino acids are essential because your body needs them but cannot synthesize them itself, so you must get them from the foods you eat. Egg white protein has enjoyed a long reputation as a complete protein."

I love whole eggs and will eat 1-2/day, but when I want a high-protein fix, I add more egg whites to my food - delicious, nutritious, low cal, and a great hunger-stopper!

Ice

Oatmeal Banana Pancakes. Mix 1/2 cup steel cut oats (cook prior to mixing) with 1 egg 1 banana, add spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg and you will get sugar from the banana but if you have a little sweet tooth you have the option to add some splenda. Mix all this together to create a mushy paste, similar to pancake mix texture. Pour onto pan that you oiled with virgin olive oil and cook just like a pancake. This size batch makes about 3 small pancakes. Enjoy!!!

i just have a turkey sandwich on wheat with low fat yogurt

Eggs, peppers, in a tortilla.

<--- doesn't eat breakfast.

But if you like to eat breakfast, and you are on a calorie restriction, I would try and select a food choice that will give you the most satiety at reltaively low calorie density. My vote would be oatmeal, either quick-cut for conveinence or steel-cut if you don't mind the extra prep time. You can doctor up your oatmeal in so many different ways to satisfy your taste buds.

But, largley personal preference.
