I usually do:
1/2-1c cereal (Kashi Go Lean, Special K, or similar -- look for one with extra protein to keep you full)
1 container (6oz) carbmaster yogurt (you can use greek, or whatever you like)
sliced banana or handful of other sliced fruit (berries, etc.)
Mix and enjoy!0 -
I love me a warm breakfast so I like breakfast burritos with salsa and egg cups. You can make them the night before and put them in the freezer then pop them in the oven or microwave. Tasty, tasty and very filling.0

toasted whole wheat bagel thin with 1 Tbsp. peanut butter with sliced strawberries. Yum!0

i go for high protein breakfasts to keep me full. they're not low cal (around 400 usually) but i also eat about 1600 calories a day or more.
some of my favorites are an egg white omelette with green bell peppers, onion, shredded cheese, and ground turkey; a skinny wheat bagel with turkey, egg whites, and cheese; or if i need a quick breakfast i grab an atkins peanut butter protein bar (1 g of sugar and 19 g of protein, not too shabby) and a greek yogurt.0 -
Thanks for all the great ideas, i'll be sure to give them ago!0

2 eggo waffles w/ syrup and any fruit you like sometimes I will sprinkle some granola on top as well. Yummmmm0

I absolutely cannot stand oatmeal. I like cereal, but not all cereal tastes good when in milk. This morning I had honey combs without the milk. I must say, I'm still full and it tasted a heck of alot better than adding milk. I still had enough calories left over for a protein shake or something small.0

wholemeal toast, cereal, oatmeal with a tablespoon of honey and blueberries and walnuts x0

These have become my easy standbys:
1. Plain instant oatmeal, 1/3 cup of craisins, 230 calories. Great before morning workout.
2. humus 4 tbs., 5 celery sticks, 180 calories
3. 5 celery sticks, 4 tbs. jalapeno greek yogurt, 140 calories0 -
I add silvered almonds (1/8c) to my oatmeal to change the taste. Sometimes I add blueberries (1/3c). Lately, I have started making my oatmeal with Almond milk. This changes it up for me and allows me to continue with the oatmeal which really fills me up.0

Cook Quinua with the same part of apple juice as you would the water. Put in dried cranberries when is it cooked...
I also like Greek yogurt with banana or apples, or some type of heavy fiber cereal mixed in instead of milk.0 -
Egg/egg beaters wrapped in a high fiber tortilla (maybe turkey sausage in there too, sometimes) or maybe peanut butter on rye toast? Those are two of my favorites....besides the oatmeal that I eat almost every day.0

Forgot to mention walnuts. I add 1/4 c to my oatmeal. And to quote a website, "Walnuts may be considered the king of nuts for health benefits, with a combination of more healthful and higher quality antioxidants, U.S. researchers say."
"Walnuts rank above peanuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios and other nuts," Joe Vinson of the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania said in a statement. "A handful of walnuts contains almost twice as much antioxidants as an equivalent amount of any other commonly consumed nut.

On the weekends i make egg cupcakes that last all week.
fill each cupcake holder with what you want (healthy) . i did:
spinach, ground turkey, and mushroom in each one. fill the rest with egg. bake at 350 until cooked. You can grab one every day and microwave them.
2nd:
Honey wheat flax waffles topped with Natural smuckers peanut butter, and bananas.
I LOVE this idea!!!0 -
I like to take a body wise wrap with a bit of PB and a banana. Super quick and easy!0

Great idea on the walnuts. I have to do more research to see if I can have them with my diverticulosis. One doctor says no, the other yes. Right now I'm having my oatmeal with a cubed apple.0 -
You can put about a half a scoop of protein power in your oatmeal. YELLOW grits cooked into Polenta served with poached eggs and a dash of cayenne .....0
