I eat cup of yogurt with a T of chia seeds and a half cup of fiber one cereal. And some days I have 3 eggs on a tortilla wrap. Just depends my mood and calories. Oh amd I do love oatmeal too! I also make this thing called a granola apple bowl if I am not working out and don't need te protein. It is an apple diced, some cinmamon, a T of SF cheesecake OR vanilla pudding powder and a little water. I microwave till apples are tender then top with a granola bar that has been crushed.

Egg either fried or scrambled, using non stick canola spray, 3 slices of microwave turkey bacon, black coffee with splenda. I like having protein in the morning as it seems to be easier to get by till snack time. Will be changing over to egg beaters or egg whites when I run out of regular eggs. Feel free to view my meal diary anytime, it is open to friends.

Breakfast for me is usually 2 x Weetbix, Skim Milk and fruit

I eat a crappy breakfast. Most mornings, I eat dry cereal (strawberry shredded wheat) while I am driving to work, then have a bit of cheese after I get to my desk. I do not know how anyone gets up early enough to cook a breakfast! I would love ideas of better foods that I can eat in the car. They must be finger foods, not require any prep time, and not be messy. Suggestions?

During the week orange juice and coffee at home, and natural yogurt and fresh fruit when I have my break at school.

At weekends, sometimes porridge, made the Scottish way with water and salt, topped with cold milk.

I also lsometimes ike homemade bread with different toppings, but that would be a weekend brunch.

Always coffee.

the last couple days it's been about 1 coup of cooked oatmeal with about a dozen raisins, tsp of Honey (I'm a bee keeper), some ground flax seed (my wife thinks this is good for me), some cinnamon, and a big splash of milk.

3 or 4 eggwhites (or the equivalent in "eggbeaters" or the like) and a slice of ham. Mazel instant coffee (comes in individual "tubes" of powder) and 1/4 to 1/2 cup skim milk. Sometimes, a piece of turkey sausage instead of the ham (90 cals for the sausage, 30 cals for the ham).

Occasionally some berries, or some tomatoes.

My breakfast is the same everyday..1 boiled egg and a mini whole week bagel. I eat at work and it is a perfect and easy breakfast.

the pumpkin oatmeal is great! add a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice and num num! I alternate between cheerios with skim milk, or a strawberry protein shake, sometimes I eat a clif bar: white chocolate and macadamia nut. I try to limit the calories cause i always have a half cup of coffee with my favorite creamer and whip cream. I eat about every 3 hrs, and try to limit the amount so i will not go over. I also plan ahead so i can have a half cup of icecream if i want. so far its working. seems to work better if i measure things. if i don;t the weight loss slows down. :flowerforyou:
