Filling breakfast foods?

For me, I have found that oats in the morning will pretty much keep me for a long period of time. Not the instant oats in individual packages but the Quaker minute oats ya cook in a pan...couple pieces of toast or fruit maybe and I'm good to go! If I eat cereal, I'm hungry an hour later....not just hungry...but crazy hungry.

Hope this helps someone.

I eat a lot of instant oatmeal or cream of wheat. It is quick and seems to keep me more full than cereal or breakfast bars.Just make sure to check the Nutrition Info, because a lot of it is loaded with sugar. It's about all I've found that's quick and filling so far.

I don't have a lot of time in the morning either.

The answer is probably going to be different for a lot of people. Some keep full on a breakfast of fruit, some can eat cereal or a bowl of oatmeal, and some swear by large breakfast. I tend to have very small ones if any because I get extra hungry when I eat first thing in the morning. You don't have to eat breakfast if it doesn't work for you. Find what works the best for you and stick with it.

Exactly. Different for different people. I have to eat breakfast and it has to have some protein or I'm hungry for the rest of the day. Others don't eat anything. My body is seriously tied to protein in the morning. I could eat oatmeal by the ton and still feel hungry. But 2 ounces of cheese or 2 eggs and I'm set for a few hours. A couple times this week I've tried peanut butter on celery. 2 ounces of PB and 2 or 3 stalks of celery. Awesome change of pace.

Oatmeal fills me up the most in the morning. Are you having a snack between breakfast and lunch?

I just purchased GNC's Lean Shake 25 in Chocolate and French Vanilla. I needed this product because I have braces and sometimes solid food is not an option (and eating icecream 3 times a day is great for kids but not for a woman in her 30's!)

For 2 scoops of powder it has 200 calories and 25 grams of protein, which should keep me full. I mixed it with a cup of unsweetened almond milk (40 calories) and thinned it out with some water and ice. Its great for when I don't have time to mash up bananas or strawberries or make applesauce. You can also stick it in a blender with ice and fruit and whatever liquid you'd like.

It was also on sale! Buy one, get one 50% off!

Simples. Have a 2 banana smoothie, mix them with 200mls of semi skimmed milk tad of honey and drink it on the way too work, this will be around 400 calories (average banana) and it will keep you energised until lunch time, then have a wholemeal bread sandwich either chciken or turkey. Yum Yum

baban smoothie in a sports cup so you can have it on the way to work, i find if i rush breakfast iam hungry sooner with the cup i have breakfast @ my own pace hope this helps x

Porridge is the only thing that does it for me - I use a mix of regular and wholegrain oats, soaked overnight in soya milk. They only take a minute in the microwave and I have a very small amount of dried fruit on top.

^^ Why didn't that come out as a quote???


Protein for me too. Maybe one egg scrambled in the microwave with one piece of toast or oats and whey protein in yoghurt or milk.

I guess it depends on what you like in the morning. I have found a protein bar that I love and is very feeling. It's called Muscle Brownie and to me taste like a brownie instead of the funky grainy taste you get with other protein bars. It has 20g of protein and 340 calories. It's really filling, so I find myself eating half. It holds me for several hours. I'm not a big breakfast eater. Mostly just coffee. But when I am hungry, grabbing one of these are quick and easy! Hope this helps!

I agree on the Quaker oats. Put a little skim milk, cinnamon, and sugar twin brown sugar on it. Very few extra calories. It is a clean carb, and lots of protein. Definitely helps me make it through my morning. Good luck!

I have steel cut (Irish/Scottish oats) for breakfast. I have a tiny crockpot and what I do before I go to bed is put a 1/4 cup of oats, a cup of water, a pinch of salt and some dried fruit in the crock pot right before I go to bed and wake up to yummy oatmeal in the morning. I have them with a drop of milk, maybe a teaspoon of smart balance, and a splenda packet. If the fruit agrees with it, I'll sprinkle on a little cinamon.

The important thing is buy UNSULFITED fruit or you'll ruin your oatmeal. Unsweetened if you can find it too, but it doesn't ruin the oatmeal like the sulfited fruit.

I have this maybe 5-6 days a week and either eat something healthy out or make eggs & turkey bacon, the other days.

Oh and PAM your crockpot as it will make cleanup much, much easier.

I tend to alternate having:

50g of porridge oats with 120ml semi skimmed milk and a bit of water then microwave on full power for two minutes and add 3 sachets of truvia sugar substitute.

or

2 soft boiled eggs with 2 slices of Nimble wholemeal toast with 10g of Bertolli light spread.

I also add a piece of fruit and a cup of coffee. I find that I get hungry again about 4 hours later by which time it's nearly lunch time! I also try to drink at least 2 glasses of water before lunch and if I get really hungry before lunch I have a snack of mini pretzels as they take forever me to eat and stop the cravings!

Good luck :-)

Why not at 10am have a snack of a piece of fruit - like and apple and some peanut butter, or yogurt and granola.
