    I'm a big fan of steel cut oats (not your fast cooking oats)

    same nutrtition as Old Fashion (minus a tad bit of fat)

    But 1/4 cup dry (150 cal) cooks up to almost 1 1/2 cups cooked. I like my oats soupy.

    I love adding 1/2 banana and some walnuts

    Very filling.


    This can be cooked in a slow cooker on low at night

    1 cup steel cut oats with 6 cups water. Some cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves. Hot in the morning and ready to go. Will make about 8 servings (stores in the fridge for a week) warms up great.

    :wink: :wink: :wink: i make a breakfast casserole that gives me breakfast for about 5 days....6-8 eggs, non-fat milk, non-fat sour cream, light shredded cheese and veggies (I like brocolli and mushrooms), this comes out to a little less than 200 calories a serving. Super yummy and gets some good veggies and protein in first thing in the morning.

    you can make your own mcmuffin.....an eggwhite scrambled on a toasted english muffin with american cheese. I'm sure you can even add a turkey or chicken sausage patty in there.

    i made a really great smoothie today. 2 tbs peanut butter, 1 cup soy slender chocolate milk and half a banana.....DELICIOUS

    I have low fat yoghurt with 1/4 cup of rolled oats and heaps of berries every morning. Keeps me full for ages and tastes great!

    I like the Sanitarium Up and Go (because im usually running out the door).
    Also plain yoghurts (check the contents though alot are loaded with sugar and calories), oats and fruits.
    A piece of toast with an egg white ommlette (with lots of veg) are great too if you have time to make them.

    If you are going to do that try and slice of low fat motzerella cheese. American cheese is so bad...it's not even like real food lol

    As a proud vegetarian and someone who gets up at 6 am every day, I have put together a document of breakfast ideas! Here are my faves, hope they are helpful.

    - Tofu scramble: Scramble tofu, spinach, cheddar cheese, and veggie sausage in light vegetable oil. - Apples and cheese: sliced apples with cheddar
    - Multigrain granola with sliced strawberries and blueberries
    - Fruit salad
    - Vegetable stir fry with a scrambled egg white
    - Multigrain slice of bread with almond butter and banana pieces
    - Smoothie of pretty much any fruits, use ice instead of milk/froyo.

    mostly what I go with. have recently gotten into the egg beaters. there's a new one that kills all previous cartoned eggs. southwestern style. has red and green bell peppers in there. and 25 calories per each 3 tbsp. is all! drop that in the pan and then throw it on a toasted english muffin, slice of american cheese, some deli ham ... easy, quick and tasty.
