What does eveyone do for Breakfast?

I normally start the day with a bowl of cereal, low fat milk and yogurt.
But I'm wondering what other people might have?

    I'm hooked at the moment on Be Natural porridge, which I best like with soy milk.

    At work, I usually have oats (with water), honey and cinnamon... Also like oats with some fruit (blueberries, peaches, anything really)... Or Special K and Rice Milk on weekends or some eggs of some sort and rye toast... nom nom.

    I am usually racing out the door so a sllice of toast and promite often does it.

    On weekends I try and have a couple of weetbix or scrambled eggs with chilli.

    I love my 'Protein 1st' Cereal but I toggle between that and a multi-grain muffin with (low fat) cottage cheese and smoked salmon. If I eat out - I usually have poached eggs on wholemeal plus tomato or spinach or mushrooms.

    I'm a cereal guy too. I like the superfoods cereals too. I normally have the Protein 1st with a handful of nuts seeds and dried fruit, but I had the Heart 1st this morning for the first time and its pretty good too. I usually cycle this with 3 weetbix & half a banana. On the weekends I'll have the occasional pancake or bacon & eggs brekkie.

    Usually two hard boiled eggs. I find if I have carbs for breakfast I eat more during the day.

    Bircher museli and fruit. It's gooey oaty-ness rocks my world and keeps me full till lunch. No snacking woop woop !
  • I'm way out of the box here.. gluten and dairy intolerant!! Which makes normal breakfast foods nigh on impossible.. I can manage oats but never gotten into the taste of them unless it's the depths of winter.

    So I chow down some brown rice salad and gluten free chicken sausages (the mini ones) - it's weird at first but having a solid base for my day has made it easier for me to lose weight.

    I used to love cereal ie. Just Right or Special K, for breaky but have broken the habit since most are so high in sugar. Now I mostly alternate between 1/2 a cup of oats made into porridge topped with 1/2 a cup of blueberries and a splash of milk, baked beans on wholemeal toast, poached egg on toast or mighty mite on toast. Each of these choices keeps me full until lunch time.

    Weetbix with boiling water most days but when I cycle to work I have oats. Weekends may be scrambled eggs.

    Weet Bix with a tsp of sugar and semi skim milk.
    I just love milk!

    Though I think it's healthier to eat eggs for breakfast.

    Where is the sugary milky goodness though!?

    it really depends on what time i get up as to what i eat..

    some days its a runny yolk fried egg on 12 grain toast (really need to start boiling them!), a slim shake of some sort or a glass of milk and milo if i get up really early or too late to have a normal brekkie.

    Two vitabrits with lactose free milk or about 5 prunes and puree'd apple. I'm not a big breakfast person either so whatever I can manage is better than none!

    Hi

    I try to have a variety.......

    *scrambled eggs 2 or 3 with 40 ml of lite milk cooked in the microwave with a piece of toast (no butter)
    *50 g of low fat muesli with 100 ml of low fat, low sugar yoghurt
    *220 g baked beans with toast and 10 g lite olive oil spread
    Also sometimes porridge or 200 g fruit salad with 100 g yoghurt.
    Always with coffee, 30 ml lite milk and sweeteners.

    I used to do what lots of people do and skip breakfast or eat light but I have learned and LOST (more importantly) eating bigger and better.

    I am loosely following Curves plan and am loosing, toning AND EATING like never before. Over 9 kg in two months. I have tried lots of different things and they work for a while but then my body would adapt and the weight loss would stop. I now have my metabolism working for me rather than against me. I eat more but I do exercise and eat right. I feel great and it is easy.

  • I love breakfast! It's probably my favourite meal!!

    I alternate between :-
    - protein 1st cereal w. hilo milk
    - weetbix and hilo milk w. fruit
    - a poached egg on toast with baby spinach
    - cottage cheese on a piece of toast with lettuce/baby spinach and a few cherry tomatoes

    and if i've been training first thing I usually add a banana/yoghurt too.
  • 2 poached eggs on a slice of wholemeal toast. I sometimes add 97% fat free ham, Beerenberg hot tomato chutney and mushrooms

    I have a Smoothie and a boiled egg and of always my morning coffee.

    Honestly you don’t taste the spinach and with the added fruit (2 pieces) you get a lovely sweet smoothie.

    Green Health Smoothie Base

    I process everything in a stick blender

    1 cup Fresh Baby Spinach
    10 Almonds
    1 – 2 Teaspoons unprocessed Bran
    50 – 100 Grams Natural Yogurt

    Now add anything you want!

    I add ½ teaspoon of fennel seed and ½ teaspoon of ground ginger (they are both antioxidants and help the digestive system) but leave them out if you want.

    Some days I have 1 Whole Frozen Banana OR

    ½ Banana + 1 Peach with skin OR

    ½ Banana + 50 grams of mixed Berries OR

    ½ Banana + 100 grams Honeydew Melon + tsp fresh parsley

    ½ Banana + 3 Slices of Pineapple + Tbsp grated Carrot

    It's Yum and only takes a couple of minutes to mix up
  • Bircher museli and fruit. It's gooey oaty-ness rocks my world and keeps me full till lunch. No snacking woop woop !


    Oh god I love brcher muesli too! My days are mixed. Some days multigrain bread w/ vegemite, other days bircher muesli, and a piece of fruit.
    I'd like to do more smoothies, I go back to work at the end of the week, bit hard to do a smoothie then.

    Oh how good is the beerenberg stuff! I took a trip up there a couple of weeks ago and had to fight myself not to buy dozens of bottles :). Love their chutneys...
  • Lately I've been alternating between an apple and a non fat yoghurt (forme Caramel Tart ftw) and an Uncle Tobys quick sachet of oats with milk. Not the lowest in sugar option out there I know, but first thing in the morning I just want something that hits the spot, and to me that does.

    i think we all have similar breakfast options. I love Uncle Toby's protein plus with soy or 30g of oats topped with 1/2 stewed apple and a tablespoon of low fat greek yoghurt which i let sit until the oats have soaked up all the water from the apple then eat. YUM
