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.

greek yoghurt and 1/4 cup high fiber meusli
sometimes an apple as well

Raisin bran w blueberries or thomas's multi-grain English muffin w peanut butter.

-Steel cut oat meal w apples, walnuts and cinnamon
-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!

I found one on cooking light's website I really like.
strawberry cream cheese sandwich
-two slices of multi-grain bread
-reduced fat cream cheese
-sliced strawberries
-honey

Just smear both pieces of the bread(I use sandwich thins for half the calories) with cream cheese, add a little honey and the sliced strawberries to each slice. Make it a sandwich and enjoy, It's really quick, taste amazing, and only 236 calories. I also do oatmeal or yogurt for variety but this is my favorite breakfast. You should check out http://www.cookinglight.com they have amazing recipes that will make you think your not even on a diet.

I love the egg on the thin bun idea, but how do you keep the egg from all sticking to the bowl? Every time I microwave eggs more gets stuck to the bowl than I get out to eat.

I am on the go all day, I like the Almond Milk mixed with EAS Lean 15 protein powder. The EAS has 100 calories, 15g protein, 5 grams of fiber, and only 2 grams of sugar. But, I end up eating like rice cakes and almond butter like 3 hours later only because I am trying to keep my metabolism going. I also like the pure protein bars, because they are high protein and low sugar.......

oatmeal all the way.... i have it every morning, practically. nothing keeps me full and satisfied longer than a big bowl of oats, oat bran, chia, and fruit with some added protein from greek yogurt and a Tbsp of PB.

Even a massive egg white omelet loaded with veggies and protein doesn't work the same magic. And my oats are goo-ey, warm, and taste like heaven :blushing:

Good luck!
