Breakfast ideas?

I usually have one of the following:

Whole wheat toast with smear of peanut butter topped with sliced banana & a hard boiled egg & coffee
Bran flake cereal with skim milk and fruit & coffee
Hard boiled egg & whole wheat toast with a dab of butter & coffee

I actually made some Overnight Oats tonight, so I'm going to try them in the morning and see how I like them.

I make a protein shake with Visalus or Herbalife protein, 8 oz water, 1/3 cup steel cut oats and 1 cup frozen blueberries chopped and all mixed up in a blender. Love it!

Kashi Go Lean with unsweetened almond milk. Lots of protein and way under 300 cals.

Generally I like cereal and coffee, but will occasionally have toast and fruit, depending on how I feel that day. The egg muffin bites sound amazing! Definitely going to try those out!

I like to have a protein kick in the morning, so I usually fix myself three eggs scrambled, no salt (they're salty enough on their own), sometimes plain, and sometimes with cheese and salsa. If I really need the energy, like for when I'm walking down to the garden for a mornings work, I'll have eggs and bacon, or eggs and sausage, or an omelet.

If it's hot, I'll have a bowl of homemade cereal with a 1/8 cup each of raw almonds, raw sunflower seeds, and raw pepitos (pumpkin kernels), a couple big handfuls of fresh fruit if I've got it, or dried fruit, and whole milk. (Home made cereal, because store bought cereals, even the "organic" ones, are totally bad for you. If you want the recipe, I can give you a copy.)

I'll also make smoothies sometimes, usually as simple as a whole banana, a blob of honey, a raw egg yolk (no white, as raw whites cause biotin deficiency) and enough home made whole milk yogurt to make it drinkable when it's all whizzed together. Other things, like greens, other fruit, etc can be added of course.

The other day I made bacon, egg and avocado sandwiches, and they were amazing. I also have soaked oatmeal recipes, but since the weather is still warm here, I'm waiting for it to cool off before I try those out, because most of them are baked.

Since I have a terrible time remembering to even bother with breakfast, I do what I can to make things interesting and enticing.

Specail K or some other low cal cereal with i slice toast.....or
Oatmeal with 1 slice toast or....
WW Waffels/Pancakes with Berry Syrup(its just berries blended with a bit of water and lil bit sugar) I buy WW pancake/waffel mix and its about 130 cal for 2 waffels
And if Im really in a hurry 2 Slices of toast with Kraft Fat Free Cheese slice....and i eat it in the car

All of these run in the 300-350 calorie range

Think i might have to try the egg muffin tin thing

If you are like me, you want to feel full, while not packing on the calories, fat, etc. Here's a recipe I just made....and ate. It was delicious, and extremely healthy.

1 container (16 ounces) Egg Substitute (this is REAL egg, without the yolks, with some color added)
6 oz. Spiral Sliced Honey Ham, finely shredded
1 large onion, diced

Blend all ingredients together. The resulting mix will amount to approx. 750 g.
For ease sake, just say the whole batch makes four servings.

Number of servings - 4

Ingredients Calories Carbs Fat Protein Chol Sodium
Sprial Sliced Hicory Smoked Honey Ham (No Glaze), 6 oz 320 8 7 28 90 1,360
Aldi Fit & Active - Eggs Substitute, 2 cup 240 8 0 48 0 920
Onions - Raw, 1 large 63 15 0 1 0 5

Total: 623 31 7 77 90 2285
Per Serving: 156 8 2 19 23 571

Each serving is about 90g (if you use a food scale). This made a 6 inch round omelet, approximately half-inch thick. Ultra juicy. The only cautionary part is the sodium, high due to the ham. This would easily adapt with other additions like peppers or olives, but I personally prefer simplicity. Good luck!

Many people who successfully lost weight and kept it off eat breakfast not later than 30 to 60 minutes after they wake up.

My breakfast:

Blueberries, blackberries, or apple.
1 slice of dry, 100% whole-grain toasted bread with 2 slices of 99% fat free turkey breast.
1 fresh tomato
Hot tea (no milk, no sugar)
1 capsule of Omega 3

This way of eating increases my metabolism. Another benefit is that I don’t feel hungry.

I know it is not a typical “breakfast food”, but it is a part of my eating style that helped me lose 81 pounds without exercise.
