breakfast foods

Egg whites
spices (I use Cayenne pepper, chili powder, and paprika)
Mission Blue corn and flax-seed tortilla
1 wedge of laughing cow or weight watchers cheese of preferred favor
top with Franks Red hot (or if on the go keep the red hot in a separate container)

Toast tortilla on both side (necessary)
spread cheese
add egg on top
between 200-275 calories depending on how much egg whites)

Hmmm, my breakfast usually consists of; Cheerios (dry), a banana and baked potato (plain) - later in the morning. I stagger these to reduce hunger. Along with 3 cups of coffee.

Breakfast is my fruit time I get tons of fruit each week and spread it out to have with a coffee every morning, it's my favorite part of the day! I'd definitely recommend buying bulk whatever fruits are on sale and working them in with your breakfasts. It's easy to eat tons of processed carbs in the morning, but I always feel better and more able to focus when I munch sliced kiwi, orange, mango and the like with a bit of chicken or turkey breakfast meat. Tons of fruits to choose from too so you can always switch it up for different flavors and textures.

You could make a protein smoothie and put it in a to-go iced coffee cup. Easy to make (takes about 4 minutes to throw it all in a blender and pulse for a few seconds). I drink one every day on my ride in to work, and it keeps me super full!
I use:
1 cup organic skim milk or 6oz Greek yogurt
1 scoop protein powder (vanilla tastes lovely in the morning)
1 cup frozen fruit- cherries, blueberries, raspberries, banana, pineapple, mango, peach, mixed berries...any combo!

If you like having eggs in the morning in the form of a sandwich, subsitute whole-grain bread with no HFCS in it (I like Ezekiel bread, only 80 cals per slice and so tasty), and make sure you're using low-sodium ham.
You could really put any meat on a breakfast sandwich-- I made an egg sandwich a few weeks ago with 2 slices Ezekiel 4:9 bread + salmon burger + Laughing Cow cheese + fried egg + hot sauce. Packed with protein (about 30g), relatively low carbs, and super tasty!

I LOVE breakfast! I eat the same thing for breakfast every day for one week and then switch my breakfast menu the next week. Last week, I had oatmeal every morning. This week, I am having an egg, toast, and fruit every morning.

Not a lot of variety in my breakfasts - i tend to stick with one of the following
without fail - 1 mocha coffee (1T low fat, low sugar cocoa mix, 1T nonfat dry milk in 10oz black coffee)
alternative 1 - (45% of the time) english muffin, 1/4C egg subst, 1oz 75% fat free cheddar, vegetarian sausage patty - all of which can be whipped up in about 2 min.
alternative 2 - (45% of the time) spirutein chocolate shake made in a blender w/skim milk and two ice cubes
alternative 3 - (9% of the time) nothing till i get to work, then a bad blueberry muffin and more coffee
alternative 4 - (1% of the time) an enormous iced cinnamon roll from Idlewild Farms, picked up on the way to work

alternative 4 takes up about 3/4 of my daily calorie budget forcing an extended session on the elliptical - sigh...

I have a few different things and mix it up according to what I feel like:
spicy fruit muffin split with cream cheese and vegemite and a piece of fruit
Uncle toby's oats with chopped up apple or grapes or banana or a mix of fruit (and a sprinkle of brown sugar)
Poached whole egg on toast spread with cream cheese and sometimes vegemite
Scrambled egg on toast spread with cream cheese
Poached egg on toast spread with cream cheese and baked beans.


1-2 cups of tea :-)

I find I need some carbs in the morning or I wane!

adding lots of fruit I think will help make a difference! it does for me anyway

Breakfast is the meal I look forward to the most - I can just be so creative with it because I get all these sweet cravings.

But what I had today was by FAR my favourite, and I'll be having it tomorrow as well. I don't know if you can find a way to take this to work but you can give it a try (just eat it as soon as you get there/put it straight in the fridge I guess :happy: ).

It's simply one punnet of strawberries (around 45 calories worth) topped with 64g of low fat greek yogurt and one teaspoon of honey on top. There you only rack up 133 cal all together, so you can add another fruit if you have a higher calorie goal etc.

Absolutely delicious. It satisfied me and the sweetness was perfect! Honey's always a part of my breakfast. Sometimes for breaky I have it in fresh oatmeal with cinnamon or on toast with philadelphia cream cheese on one half and honey on the other.

Make a smoothie!! I've been using 1/2 a cup of juice (pick your favorite!), and 1 cup of assorted frozen fruit (this is in the freezer section of most grocery stores), and a banana. I also throw in a scoop of protien powder. Blend it up, and it makes about 3 glasses.
