I really need help with Breakfast .... for too many years now I have gone without breakfast. But, now that I'm starting my diet and exercise regime I am trying to break out of my bad habit and eat breakfast every day, but unfortunately I don't like milk so am unable to have cereals, and am getting fed up with eggs (boiled/scrambled/poached) .... any ideas please? Thanks

    Oatmeal is always a great option, and you can add a lot to it. Also, a slice of toast with some natural peanut butter would be good with some fruit.

    So you don't like milk, but how do you feel about yogurt? I recently moved to Japan and the milk here is way too thick for my tastes so I stopped drinking it. Instead, I do a few scoops of plain yogurt + some fresh granola. I buy both in large containers, so I can serve myself as little or as much as I want. It's delicious :)

    not eating breakfast is not a bad habit, and yields no special benefits for weight loss

    but to answer your question, a parfait of greek yogurt and berries, a protein shake, steak and hashbrowns, breakfast burrito/sandwich

    I cannot have milk- so I just eat my cereal dry! I measure it out, put it in a little bag, and snack on it throughout the morning! Oatmeal is also go, as well as toast with some peanut butter and a banana. Or perhaps a mixed fruit cup and a hard boiled egg!

    How about a protein shake done in the blender with frozen berries or 1/2 banana and 1 tsp. of peanut butter! It's good to start your day with a little protein to stabilize your blood sugar and keep the cravings down!

    I don't like milk either.

    I have 0% greek yogurt and blueberries or some other kind of berry usually. If I'm doing a morning workout (rare) I also have a banana.

    Low Sodium English Muffin (You can even choose one with high fiber)
    1/2 slice of pepper Jack cheese
    two-1/4 inch slices of tomato
    1/4 of an avocado

    Toast the English Muffin (I like to toast it under the broiler)
    put one tomato slice on each half
    Slice your 1/2 piece of cheese in half and put one piece on each
    chop up that 1/4 of the avocado an put over the top of the cheese
    Broil until melty...

    I enjoy this with an orange & sometimes a 1/2 cup of yogurt with some dried cranberries in it.

    No need to force yourself to eat just because it's morning.

    That said, I recommend bacon.

    Protein shake, fruit, yogurt, I know you said you're tired of eggs, but what about a veggie omelet and/or with some turkey bacon, whole grain oatmeal, dry cereal without milk, that's about all that I can think of. I usually try to give myself a few choices, since I can easily get sick of cereal every single morning.

    I have trouble with breakfast as well because I'm allergic to eggs. I'm getting pretty sick of cereal. So this morning I tried a toasted english muffin with a wedge of lite laughing cow cheese, two pieces of turkey bacon and cucumber. It was really good.
