Any recommendations on breakfast ideas? I don't have time in the morning to spend time cooking a meal, but cereal and fruit just don't keep me full for that long. Any thoughts on alternate quick AM meals?

    Eggs, use some Mrs. Dash on some scrambled egg whites....Delish and filling...

    There's also oatmeal or Sara Lee 45 calorie bread with some I can't believe it's not butter....less calories and still fills you up!

    I'm not much of a morning person so I need a quick breakfast too. So I typically have a shakeology shake every morning, its quick and I can just mix it up in my shaker cup and go, or make it at work. And it keeps me full all morning.

    cooked oatmeal with fruit is filling. Works for me. I may have a slice of whole wheat toast if I'm still hungry.

    I'm sure others will disagree, but I do an Egg McMuffin from McDonalds almost everyday. 300 calories and keeps me full till lunch. The sodium is a little high, but works for me.

    I have a hard time getting full on breakfast too! I'm actually eating frosted shredded mini wheats (cereal) with 1% milk. It actually keeps me full until lunch time! I also have a cup of coffee with it. It must be all the fiber in it lol.

    I eat a banana or an apple with 1-2 TBSP of natural peanut butter 5 out of 7 days/week. The fiber & protein keeps me full & satisfied until my next meal or snack. I try to eat every 3 hours.

    This is my go-to breakfast if I don't have time to cook:
    2 Whole Wheat, Low Fat Eggo Waffles
    1-2 Tbs of almond butter
    1 Tbs of pure maple syrup (not that pancake syrup crap - splurge and buy the REAL stuff!)

    Has fiber, protein, and carbs. YUM! YUM!

    I like to make a shake with almond milk, almond butter, and protein powder. I also add in two hard boiled eggs. I don't get hungry until lunch.

    Oatmeal keeps me full forever! I buy instant oatmeal, Target store brand (market pantry or archer farms, idk which) has a great pumpkin one but there are so many great flavors!

    I make a large batch of boiled eggs once a week and I eat three boiled egg whites every morning. I also don't eat cooked oatmeal but I do eat it dry with cinnamon, dark chocolate and chopped prunes. Then I also eat fiber one with skim milk. Super easy breakfast and most of it can be made the night before.

    two pieces of toast, a tablespoon of peanut butter on each, and a banana sliced in half, and then half again (long ways). or just a regular PB&J. make it the night before, and wrap it in tin foil and put it in the fridge.


    however, i love making myself an egg omlet (whole eggs) with either chopped tomatoes or peppers, on a whole wheat wrap. love it.

    You can precook eggs to use for egg sandwiches.

    My current faves are oatmeal with a tablespoon of peanut butter and a chopped apple, half of a pumpkin spice bagel with a tablespoon of peanut butter.

    Another option that I love is an everything bagel thin lightly toasted w/ 1 oz. fat free cream cheese, top w/ raspberries or sliced strawberries, a couple of slices of deli turkey and baby spinach.

    One of my favorite and easy breakfasts is:

    One whole wheat bagel thin from thomas'-- 110 calories
    1 tbls peanut butter on one half -- 95 calories
    1 wedge of laughing cow cheese light swiss on the other half -- 35 calories
    1/2 cup yogurt with 1/4 cup blueberries -- 115 calories

    Total of 355 calories and I'm good til lunch!

    Every weekday I have a 6 oz Light and Fit yogurt (80 calories), 1 serving of almonds (170 calories) and 1 cup of mixed fruit (about 50-75). I eat it at my desk (I have to wait an hour after taking a medication) and it keeps me very satisfied until lunch. Weekends I often have a breakfast sandwich (one over-hard egg fried in 1 tsp of butter, 2 pieces of low calorie whole wheat bread or a whole-wheat sandwich thin, 1 T muffaletta for "zip", and 1 oz of cheese--total calories about ). It's also very satisfying and filling.

    I'm not a cereal or oatmeal kind of person so that is never appealing to me no matter how hard I try to like it.

    Egg wraps, I make them in advance, and I just microwave and eat in the morning.

    1 egg + 1 egg white beaten with a touch of milk (87 cals) - cook in a pan like an omelet
    1 slice of lean ham (25 cals) - put in the tortilla with the cheese
    1/4 cup low cal mozzarella cheese (80 cals)
    1 weight watchers whole wheat tortilla (100 cals)

    wrap all ingredients up only when eggs are cooled and then wrap in a paper towel, stick in the fridge. Microwave for 45 seconds in the morning.

    292 cals and keeps me full from 6am till about 11am. xo

    Mission Carb balance flour tortilla. 9 slices of turkey pepperoni, 2 Tablespoons of salsa, one slice of Fat Free Cheddar Cheese slices. Put in microwave for about 15 seconds (just enough to start melting cheese). And fold up to eat. Very portable. Very quick. Only 150 calories. And filling!

    1 cup Fage nonfat plain Greek yogurt mixed with 2 TB PB2 (reconstituted) and a heaping TB of organic granola. I eat it almost every day. 26 grams of protein and it is soooo yummy.

    I found that the special k protein plus cereal is great! But It doesn't have much flavor so I use a flavor of the light and fit 80 cal yogurts and I have a great breakfast of 180 cals and it keeps me full till lunch! :)

    A balance of protein and whole grain carbs works best for me. energy + staying power. Two ideas:

    (1) Make instant oatmeal **with milk or soy milk** ( there are low sugar and weight-loss types). Have 2 envelopes if you need them or add a handful of plain quick oats to make larger serving that is less sweet. If you like the old fashioned or steel cut, cook up a big pot on the stove for the week on Sunday night, and just spoon out a bowlful to put in the microwave each morning. You can also add dried fruit and almonds or walnuts to rev it up.

    (2) A breakfast sandwich. I use a whole grain bolillo ( like a sub sandwich bun, sort of), and fill it with 2 oz of smoked turkey breast and a slice of muenster cheese. Make it the night before if you are in too much of a rush in the morning. Zap the breakfast sandwich for 35 seconds, and there you have it - you can even eat it in the car, it's not messy!

    my go to: wheat english muffin or bagel thin with peanut butter, a banana, and some greek yogurt.

    i also enjoy oatmeal with raisins and a bit of cinnamon and agave nectar, also with greek yogurt.

    the other day i made some egg beaters, a veggie sausage patty and popped it on a bagel with a slice of cheese and i was really fun until lunch time!
