looking for breakfast ideas

Depends on my workout for the morning, but either a Nutrigrain or power bar. Sometimes, depending on whether that day I'm calorie shifting, I'll have oatmeal or a banana with peanut butter to.

I like...

Special K Chocolate Delights with yogurt mixed in
Breakfast Burritos - Low Carb tortilla, 2 eggs, little bit of salsa, and Fat Free Sour Cream - **My new favorite
Frosted Mini Wheats with 1% Milk
Fiber One Bars with Fruit

Hope this helps

On weekdays I have yogurt. It's good frozen.

I have some real great ones, i have a recipe book i bought from herbal magic and they are great..

Apple Toffee Oatmeal...

1/4 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup strawberries
1 6' tortilla
1 tbsp ultra low fat cream cheese

Gently warm the blueberries and strawberries in a non stick pan, Warm the tortilla in the microwave
for about 10-15 sec. Spread the cream cheese on the tortilla and wrap in the berries..

I have tons of recipes if you require more.. all low in fat and carbs.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

The two things I eat most often are:

1 egg scrambled with red peppers, tomato, spinach, mushrooms and onions in it, or

a low-carb tortilla with laughing cow & the same veggies, folded over at put in the toaster oven until it browns a bit. ( I'm addicted to those things!)

I picked up some steel cut oatmeal to try.

If you try the pancake recipe above, you can also add a jar of baby food sweet potatoes (or cooked, pureed sweet potatoes.) It adds a lovely color & natural sweetness. Unfortunately, my kids won't go for anything past 25% whole wheat flour.

I usually eat Quaker Instant Oatmeal Fiber Maple and Brown Sugar
I add a lil bit of the liquid coffee mate in French Vanilla

It is so good.

I like to eat my quick "egg mcmuffin"
-2 egg whites
-1 whole wheat english muffin
-1 tbs salsa

I take a coffee cup, spray it with non stick spray, cook the egg whites in the coffee cup in the microwave for 1 minute. Toast the english muffin and when the eggs are done they are the perfect size to fit the english muffin. I put some salsa on it and Im out the door. It take like 3 minutes to make!!!

I fix for my family egg and cheese on a English Muffin or a Bagel. Some times I put ham or sausage on as well.

Breakfast Berry Tortilla...

1/4 cup blueberries
1/2 cup strawberries
1 6' tortilla
1 tbsp ultra low fat cream cheese

Gently warm the blueberries and strawberries in a non stick pan, Warm the tortilla in the microwave
for about 10-15 sec. Spread the cream cheese on the tortilla and wrap in the berries..

Sounds AMAZING

I eat every morning, two pieces of 100% whole wheat toast with 2 tbs reduced fat peanut butter, talking about fabulous, and even better the reduced fat peanut is so much creamier you have to drink your water to get it down.....Hope this helps

I do a few things to change up things for breakfast...

Breakfast parfait

1 container light vanilla yogurt
5 walnuts, crushed

Take a small glass and place crushed walnuts in the bottom. Add the yogurt and then the sliced strawberries. Stir together to mix. Top off with one dollup of Cool Whip Free.

Take the Flatout Light wrap and cover with 1 tablespoon fat free mayo. Place spinach in the center of the wrap. Place bacon on top of it. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Fold up like a burrito and cut across the middle to make two pieces.

Breakfast Wrap

1 Flatout Light wrap

Scoop the scrambled egg whites into the center over the cheese. Crumble the bacon over the egg whites. Place in microwave for 20 seconds to melt the cheese. Fold wrap up like a burrito and cut in half.

I have a smoothie every morning. It doesn't seem to take long to make and the calories are minimul.

I use ice, 1/2 cp milk, 1/2 cup non fat vanilla yogurt, and whatever fruit I have on hand. Today was 4 large strawberries and 4 slices of peaches. This made enough smoothie for tow people. My husband took one to work in a travel mug!

The breakfasts I eat most often are:

#1
2 eggs
1 whole wheat toast w/ 1/2 tbsp peanut butter
a kiwi w/ 1/2 cup strawberries, or a banana

#2
3/4 cup TVP (textured vegetable protein)
6 oz yogurt (I eat the astro zero)
banana
If you take a spoonful of yogurt and dip it in the TVP it is crunchy like granola but the flavour is slightly different but still yummy. You would want to avoid mixing it all in before eating it as the TVP will get mushy from the yogurt rehyrating it.
