Ideas for breakfast?

I have been having a piece of wheat toast and a egg for breakfast and I notice it keeps me full for a lot longer than cereal, even high fiber ones. You could also try cottage cheese, or a banana. Those fill me up.

I cook an egg in the microwave - 1 minute - in a cereal bowl, which makes it the perfect size to fit on one of those thin buns to make a sandwich (toasted) - I usually put some type of veg in with my egg - some chopped up brocolli or spinach or tomato - salsa sometimes - then I either put a little bit of super hot pepperjack cheese on it, or spread a laughing cow wedge on -

OR - I have steel cut oats and mix in some fruit and vanilla yogurt (I put the oats, water and frozen peaches in the slow cooker overnight, then add a T of yogurt when I eat it in the AM - so delicious!) - google 'slow cooker steel cut oats' and there are some good recipes - plus it's nice to wake up to breakfast done - and have leftovers for the rest of the week (you can even freeze individual portions)

I have a list of breakfast Ideas that I try to rotate so I don't get bored. These are my top 3 that keep me full:

*eggs, peppers, onions & cheese (only enough cheese to taste-like a spice!) on a flat bread or tortilla

*Shakeology with natural PB, 1/2 banana & 1/3C dry oats

*One of the oatmeal recipes from 75 Ways to make Oatmeal (I usually opt for the baked variety-so good!)

Once in a while, I'll have Total cereal with berries or Chobani Yogurt with sprinkled granola in it

Oatmeal with a spoonful of dark chocolate peanut butter

This is my exact breakfast! I eat it at 630 full for about 4 hours

I love the baked oatmeal from SkinnyTaste.com - with a 1/4 cup serving of vanilla yogurt on top. I double the recipe and put it in cake pan - and the family eats it all week. Easy to portion out and go.

I like omelete's with all the veggies I want (typically spinach, mushroom, tomato and onion) with two eggs and some canadian bacon. So good, and if I want to keep the calories down, I skip the toast.

I am in LOVE with Total cereal, since it helps me keep my iron high (100% in one 3/4 cup serving). I will eat with milk, or have a serving of yogurt with berries and add the cereal on top for some crunch.

If I am in a hurry, I like to grab a banana with one crunchy granola bar. Pecan Crunch and Dark Chocolate Oat is my favorite.

-whole grain bread with cottage cheese
- my favorite 'rushoutofthehouse-breakfast' highfiber cereals with berries(no need to cut) and an OJ

Tip...if you need more fiber buy one of those 'fiber powder' and put them in everything you want up to 4 times a day.

This is one of my favourites too! I also love making my own granola, I start from Chatelaine's Maple Ginger Granola, minus the sugar (you don't really need it) and add or subject fruits/nuts/seeds as I feel it. It's a loose granola, not a clumpy one. With a good serving of yogurt, it fills me up until lunch.

Once in a while, I'll making Easy Morning Glory Muffins, but be careful if you search the recipes out there... I replace the tremendous amount of oil the usual recipe calls for with unsweetened apple sauce, reduce the sugar thanks to the apple sauce, add in a fistful of bran, sub out the coconut for rolled oats, and replace at least half of the white flour with whole wheat. So... not really morning glory muffins anymore, but damn tasty! Just don't use sunflower seeds, they turn green.

When I actually keep bread in the house, I'll also do a toasted slice of rye (I LOATHE WW bread, so this is my compromise to avoid white) with a poached egg and a teensy bit of shredded low fat cheese on top. If you keep the yolks runny you don't need to use any sort of spread. That with a piece of fruit and I'm good to go!
