    I used to typically eat cereal - either cinnamon cheerios, frosted mini wheats, or any other higher fiber cereal that tastes good. Recently my friend shared this recipe with me and I've been loving it! I hate regular oatmeal so this is perfect. I make it on the weekends, cut it into 6 servings and just pop in the microwave every morning. I substituted banana instead of applesauce, almond milk instead of regular milk, egg beatsers instead of egg, ditched the nuts and raisons, and added a splash of vanilla and a bunch of cinnamon. So yummy!

    Thank you all for sharing! I think I'm going give smoothies a try. This weekend I'll shop for one of the smoothie machines with the travel mug attached.

    I used to force myself to eat light yogurt. Now I eat oatmeal, the regular kind, with water every Monday through Friday. Started losing weight when I gave up yogurt. I do snak on almonds or some other protein before lunch. On occasion, I like an egg mcmuffin from Mcdonalds and that holds me over for at least 5-6 hours before I feel hungry again.

    IMO, you're much better off to get a REAL blender and a separate cup for hauling smoothies around in. Grinding up frozen fruit is hard work for a blender, and lots of blenders die quickly under the influence of smoothies.

    I use a Waring Pro bar blender, and it does a fine job, but I've killed several cheaper blenders with smoothies. http://www.amazon.com/Waring-MBB518-Professional-Beverage-Stainless/dp/B00004S8F8

    Take a look at the bottom of the blender jar where it attaches to the base. You want to see metal there, and not plastic.
    IMO, my $0.02 and all that.

    Since I started working out in the am, I have eaten breakfast every morning and its great! It is a dippy egg and one slice of toast. It works for me. Keeps me full most of the morning. On the weekends, I usually cook the breakfast but don't eat it, but am trying to change that. I also enjoy some bagels and cream cheese. But the bagels I have are HUGE in calories, so I need find better ones.

    Thomas Bagel Thins! 110 calories of bagel-y yummyness. I spread a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese on the bagel thin and it adds up to 145 calories! They also have a 100% whole wheat option (if you are focusing on whole grains).

    Yes "they" do, sometime "they" are actually right...guess it depends on who "they" are :)

    True. In this specific case, however, "they" are full of it.

    Yeah, I´m going to go with the dude who puts up a naked picture of himself as his avatar and always has a negative thing to say. He knows much better than ¨they¨ do. Get a life dude and stop stalking my posts.

    1/2 cup of Grape Nuts and 1/2 cup skim milk almost every day. It's a great way to start, low in calories and keeps me full till lunch.

    I start with 3/4 a scoop of Premier Protein Vanilla powder in my black coffee, a banana, and some 'Better Than Peanut Butter' as soon as I wake up. Then I get shower & get ready for work. Before I leave the house I have 1 egg white, 1 egg w/ Yolk, 2 cups of baby spinach, and either some sweet potato or half a low carb tortilla w/ 2% shredded cheese (I put my eggs on the tortilla & make a taco).
    One hour later I eat a Premier Protein 30g (no hydro oils / 7grms sugar) protein bar. I'll eat another banana or a handful of almonds before I hit the gym around 11am.

    I don't typically eat breakfast either. I've been trying to lately. The past two days I've been eating Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal. I prefer eggs though.

    I LOVE the smart ones ham and cheese breakfast meal, but it kind of sucks up a lot of my calories for the rest of the day, but it sure is yummy! I think I may eat one tomorrow. LOL
