    Eggs with chopped veggies and turkey sausage. I'm not a small breaky person, I enjoy a hearty breakfast just took me awhile to realize that it was ok to eat a breaky like that.

    protein, protein, protein! :) I eat low carb yogurt or greek yogurt; low sugar oatmeal; 1 TBS Peanut butter on high fiber wheat bread; eggs scrambled with skim milk and a bit of cheese

    During the day I eat cottage cheese, string cheese, veggies, high fiber wheat crackers, turkey pepperoni as snacks. I eat lots of soup for meals.

    A really filling dinner that I love is 4 ounces of chicken breast cut into small pieces, skillet cooked with butter flavored spray and lots of seasoning, then tossed in 2 tablespoons of barbeque sauce. For the side I sautee 2 cups of fresh sliced mushrooms in 1/2 tablespoon of real butter and a bit of low sodium worcestershire sauce. On the plate the sauces mix together from the mushrooms and the chicken and it is so yummy and very, very filling.

    Oh my gosh, that sounds super yummy!! Love chicken and mushrooms! :)

    Hi!

    I eat 1/2 cup of All Bran with skim milk, 1/2 grapefruit and a green tea for breakfast, and I find this fills me up until my morning snack. Apples a great snack. They are filling and curb the sweet tooth, atleast for me! Also, raw brocolli and cauliflower may be boring, but they are filling too. : )

    Fruit and oatmeal!

    I find myself loving controlled maple and brown sugar oatmeal with 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree and a little cinnamon (around 180 - 200 cals). It's very filling and I think delicious. Add a fruit to your breakfast such as a banana (70-100 cals) or apple (60-90 cals) with 1 tablespoon peanut butter (90 cals), plain, or maybe even frozen grapes (around 54 calories for 15 red grapes) (really great for that ice cream craving, plus they take a while to eat).

    Also, there are Luna bars, which are targeted for women (although men can enjoy them too). They vary from 170 - 180 calories. I personally love the Luna Protein bars in cookie dough flavor, and there are plenty of different kinds. Very filling, has essential nutrients, low-cal, and protein + fiber. Add a piece of fruit to this breakfast as well. : )

    I have recently discovered Kashi Go Lean cereal and it's divine! I am lactose intolerant, so I add about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of light soy milk to my bowl and it tastes really lovely. Lots of fiber, some protein, vitamins and minerals. It's a wholesome breakfast.

    Add a cup of tea or coffee (try to minimize extras such as creamer + sugar, or substitute for healthier options) and I'm sure you'll find yourself feeling full.

    Sorry if I wasn't much help- I pretty standard when it comes to breakfast foods.

    my breakfast has been being 3 scrambled eggs (one whole, 2 just whites), with a tablespoon of real bacon bits in a La Banderita (Low Carb Low Fat) Soft Taco Tortilla (only 81 cals).. the whole wrap is about 235 calories and fills me up til lunch :)

    or one cup of cheerios with a half or whole cup of 1% milk :)

    try to eat oatmeal occasionally but the the texture gets to me. usually gets cold before i can finish it

    Egg beaters has some very yummy varieties use for:

    Egg sandwhiches
    Omeletes
    scrambles

    Oatmeal: (I buy the big containers of the plain quick cooking oats from publix)

    I use plain water to make mine the do the add ins such as:

    Some type of sweetner (splenda,stevia,etc)
    Berries (strawberries, blueberries,raspberries)
    Bananas (a half of a medium banana goes a long way)
    almond milk (vanilla or regular unsweetened)

    and my favorite especially for thoes days that you just NEED something sweet!
    Unsweetened cocoa powder, splenda and to finish a Tbsp of Jif with omega 3's peanut butter! Yummy

    You can also do smoothies if you are not a breakfast person I did this for a bit and it got me used to the idea of having breakfast

    I use almond milk and add from there. Sometimes I do a berry yogurt smoothie, sometimes a chocolate protein powder with half a frozen banana.

    Good luck! :)

    I wish I could find something filling at night. I end up being water logged and still hungry. I have tried varioes nuts, prtein bars shakes and nnothing works. Especially when I am watching tv with the wife.
    If you like yoghurt, try a yoghurt and a banana. I have it everynight now and it definately fills me right up:)

    Great ideas , gonna use alot of them.

    Granola - you have to really careful read packages. Some are better than others. You can also make your own so you can control the sugar.

    I had a recipe but at work right now.

    I enjoy a good fruit salad, honestly mine are sometimes quite big haha, I like peaches, pineapple and strawberries in them. You could pair it with a small yoghurt pot, it should keep you energised and full for a couple of hours:)

    All of these are made out of real unprocessed foods (aside from the milks of course)

    Breakfast:
    (1) Holy Crap or Skinny B cereal with milk
    greek yogurt (good with option 1)
    oatmeal (good with option 1)
    (2) Avacado
    sprouted Ezekiel bread (mine's home made and goes good with option 2)
    tea

    Snacks:
    seeds - particularly pumpkin seeds (I find munching these takes a long time and I find I don't eat many before I'm satisfied)
    pomegranate (more for the whole it takes a long time to eat things and not because it's filling)
    Sprouts (since I started growing sprouts in my cupboard I've started munching on them and they are SO filling)
    I find if I'm just trying to pass time and I'm hungry, drinking half a glass of almond milk helps a ton. I find it filling and good to sip on and is about 40 calories a cup (vs 150 for the dairy milk I drink).
