What do you have for breakfast?

Recently I tried Multi-Grain sandwichthins (1/2) 50 cals, with a slice of tomato with salt and pepper 4 cals, and a slice of prima-della deli swiss 35 cals. Toast this in the toaster oven and it is AWESOME and filling for breakfast and snack.

OH! And sometimes 2 mini bagels with cream cheese. Get fancy with cream cheese, there's so many different flavors now!

I'm beginning to get bored of my oatmeal and egg whites. Just wondering what you've all been whipping up for breakfast as I need to get a little more creative!

Most mornings I have 3 x Ryvita (cracked black pepper is my fave) with cottage cheese and either smoked salmon or lean ham (ca. 260kc)

Sometimes I whip up some scrambled egg with smoked salmon.

Sometimes I just have a banana and a bowl of cheerios.:bigsmile:

For the past few days its ban a bottle of Ensure, super good. before then...nothing. I just know its easier to loose weight if you have breakfast but I just hate breakfast lol.

i've been eating nestle fitness cereal or plain oatmeal instant with fruits.

I am boring. I have either eggs and meat (bacon, sausage, or ham steak). And coffee of course.

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:

1 medium Chopped onion - I use purple onion
1 large Red Bell Pepper
1/4 - 1/2 cup cooked broccoli
1/4 - 1/2 cup cooked spinach
Morningstar Farms Original Sausage Patties - 4 patties

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 375 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.

You can change the "filling" to suit your tastes - I use whatever leftover cooked veggies I have on hand... I've used green beans, bok choy, whatever's in my fridge that needs to be used!

I put the above recipe into my MFP database - they came out to 98 calories per muffin!

Ice

Have you tried the Whole wheat Eggo waffles? They are really good. I usually have 2 of the blueberry and very light syrup. I don't mind eating wafflles without syrup so this doesn't bother me. I also add a coulpe pieces of turkey bacon to that.

usually.. well almost everyday i eat chicken porridge for breakfast. It's very filling and make me less hungry for the rest of the day. Sometimes i eat sandwich for breakfast.

This morning I had 1 and 1/2 frozen bananas but I let them thaw out over the coffee pot before I ate them.

im not a breakfast person, but i try to eat it. i usually eat kashi original cereal w/o milk. it has lots of fiber and has as much protein as an egg

Nothing tbh.

Coffee and a ciggie, and I'm good to go for the next 3-4 hours

Coffee

this morning: cereal (i was in a hurry!)

yesterday: pb and j sandwich and a pear

i also will do bagel thins with a bit of pb, nutella and mashed banana...that's my fave.

yogurt and granola with berries and raisins

oatmeal

I have to eat breakfast or I'll get a migraine. But I don't want to take a lot of time making it.

I make my own hot chocolate from scratch: I have a huge 20 oz mug. I put in two heaping teaspoons of dry Hershey cocoa, put in some hot water from the hot water tap on our bottled water dispenser, and stir until smooth. Then I add skim milk and heat it in the microwave 2 to 2 1/2 minutes depending on whether I have time to sit and sip it hot or have to gulp it warm and run right out the door. I used to add a little splenda, but honestly, I've come to prefer it unsweetened. I don't get tired of things as easily if they aren't sweet, so I can have this every day.

It gets me a nice percentage of my protein for the day with very few calories -- the dry cocoa is basically all protein, too. And after drinnking 20 oz, I'm full. Very few dishes to clean up, too.
