    Oatmeal with a sprinkle of wheat germ. So filling!

    Serious question, can you taste wheat germ when you put it on things?

    Oatmeal, quick cook oats, with some berries tossed in. Or Egg beaters with fat free cheese and lots of veggies

    I could eat breakfast for every meal!

    If I have time, I agree with everyone's posts about scrambled eggs/egg whites with salsa and cheese. I add a piece of Ezekial Sprouted 7-Grain bread, toasted, w/ just a tad bit of butter.
    My other favorite, which I eat at lunch sometimes is 1/2 cup of cottage cheese with blueberries, blackberries, and sliced strawberries and a packet of stevia.
    And, I know this is *sort of* naughty, but if I am in a real hurry an Egg McMuffin (yep from MickyD's) minus the top half.

    I have 2 to 4 pieces of bacon around 7am and that keeps me full. I work out at 10:30am and have my lunch at 11:30.

    Solid proteins, but I'm a carb-aholic. Two eggs, bacon, or sausage and if I'm occupied at work or putzing around the house, I'm golden. Otherwise, I might fall prey to bored-eating (I'm working on breaking that habit).

    A breakfast sandwich consisting of:

    2 slices 35 calorie bread toasted
    Scrambled egg or equivalent egg substitute
    1 slice Sargento Sharp Cheddar

    Assemble and microwave till cheese melts

    Add fruit and a beverage. Voila! Breakfast.

    Lately, I've been eating the following:

    Smoothie
    1/2 c. of frozen raspberries
    1/2 c. of nonfat plain yogurt (Stonyfield is the creamiest)
    1/2 c. of Trop 50 apple juice

    or
    1 c. frozen blueberries
    1/2 c. of Dole pineapple juice
    1 banana

    So I drink one smoothie, which is between 110 calories (raspberry) to over 200 calories for the blueberry. I bought some pretty glasses, so it feels like a treat.

    Along with the smoothie, I make a homemade Egg McMuffin.

    1 multigrain low cal English muffin 100 calories
    1 poached egg about 80 calories
    1 piece of cheese melted on toasted muffin half - about 25 or 30 calories
    Sometimes, I add a piece of ham, 25 calories. These are sold in the round shape, same as McDs.

    This sounds like a lot of work, but it's not. The blender, just add all ingredients and blend. Egg poaches quickly in a poacher, and toasting the English muffin is simple.

    This breakfast is big, but it is a really good, full feeling, and I don't get hungry for a while.

    If I'm in a rush, I sometimes eat a Clif zbar, which is made for kids but tastes great. (Brownie or chocolate chip).

    On the weekends, I make a big batch of whole wheat buttermilk pancakes. I freeze the leftovers and reheat them all week long. I typically have two pancakes, with a little maple syrup, two links of turkey sausage and coffee with a 1/2 cup of 2% milk. It comes in right around 350 calories and keeps me full from 6:30 a.m. until lunchtime.

    I used to eat old fashioned oats with fruit, nuts and a little half and half. It was fewer calories by about 50, but it didn't keep me full and I got really tired of oatmeal.

    I have three egg whites and one whole egg. I also add a piece of multi grain toast with a little peanut butter before a big workout. My trainer also recommends oatmeal or banana.

    I agree with the egg people! Whites, whole, fried, scrambled, however! Sometimes with oatmeal, sometimes with toast. I log it all and will make up for it later if needed. I like my breakfast! I did cut down on juice. High in calories. A clementine works, only 35 calories and as satisfying as a glass of juice.

    I like oatmeal for Breakfeast n I have one of those thins sandwhich things toasted. I put ginger and cinn in mine. With a little bit of skim milk or Almond milk .
  • I also feel really full with a bowl of Kashi Go Lean Crunch! It's so good too!

    If I'm not having that, then I would make a egg white omelette (or two poached eggs, depending on my mood) with turkey bacon and a whole wheat English muffin. It keeps me going!!

    I eat oatmeal. Very conveniant and quick to make. I usually throw a banana or some berries in it. On the mornings I have a little more time I have an egg, toast, peanutbutter and some veggie sausage. It powers me through right until lunch!:smile:
  • EGGS!! I do what is called an egg mug you make it in a mug in the microwave so its easy, quick, and feeling. My favorite is BTA (Bacon, Tomato, Avocado) egg mug its only 175 calories and keeps me full. Though for some reason it doesn't then I just snack on a Clementine.
  • My fav is an egg white omelettewith smoked salmon bits, a teaspoon of quark and thinly sliced spring onions.:flowerforyou:
  • I also love Greek yogurt and granola for breakfast. It keeps me full for hours.

    It's so funny how so many different things work for different people. Some folks are filled up on a bagel. For me, I am ALWAYS hungrier after I've eaten one! I just don't eat them for that reason. I love eggs, but have to watch the cholesterol, and I'm not as big a fan of the Egg Beaters.

    My breakfast, almost every day, is:

    A huge bowl of Cheerios (about 2.2 cups) with a cup of 1% milk.
    320 Calories.
    Always keeps me full until lunch.
    And I never grow tired of it.
    And we buy Cheerios at Costco for really cheap! :bigsmile:

    Eggs with lots of grated, sauteéd veggies, or yogurt with ground flax seeds. Oatmeal never has held me over.
