Okay, so I have to admit, I have only been here ten days and I am feeling much better. Bending down and tieing my boots (and they have zippers) ain't a chore anymore. But I am having one problem that I need help with, I call it old habits, but I am looking for breakfast ideas that don't have the sugar content.
It is usual for me to grab the cereal and skim milk, but the cereals that I eat are high in sugar, so I am new to this, and I am wondering what are some low sugar, healthy breakfast meals?
Thank you all for the posts, subjects arnd responses, It has kept me here, looking and learning and actually supporting others and their endeavors...

Regards to all,
BC

    Hmm what about changin the type of cereal you eat? Or you could try eggs, oatmeal, yogurt, toast with pb. These are what I alternate for my breakfasts. I just got come multi grain cheerios. I eat soy yogurt or coconut yogurt with granola or oats. And I love eggs!! Sometimes I make one of those thin cut steaks with them. Thats more of my weekend breakfast though. And plain oatmeal with cinnamon sprinkled in or pb2 in it. I hope you find a combo that works for you. Good luck on your journey :drinker:

    Toast spread with a Wholly Guacamole 100 calorie pack, topped with hard-boiled egg slices

    Mini bagel with ham, cheese, egg/egg white

    Hard-boiled egg whites, filled with hummus or guacamole

    Deli meat wrapped around carrot stick, string cheese, or pepper strip

    I also like to mix any cold cereal with puffed wheat cereal. It's low-cal, low sugar, and super cheap.

    P.S. Your dog is adorable. :)

    dont' have alot of time to worry about breakfast, so here is what we do, 1/4 cup oatmeal, big tbsp ground flax seed, big tbsp gound nuts/seeds (i mix it up) water, microwave, then 1 tbsp of pure maple syrup, now that is one of the healthiest breakfasts you will find... take one day at a time and be blessed... karen :)

    My go to is always protein for breakfast, either a protein shake (Premier Nutrition is the best) or egg white omelet with peppers/onions and salsa.

    Bob's Red Mill has a bunch of really healthy whole grain cereals. They are available at a lot of my local stores so I would imagine they would be at yours. Check the "health food" aisles. If you can't find them there they are available on Amazon or http://www.bobsredmill.com/.

    I'm a porridge (oatmeal) girl too, but if you want to keep some sweetness try one of the following:
    - add a sliced banana (preferably one that's just developed spots) before nuking it
    - add blueberries before nuking
    - add 1/2 tsp of honey (I use manuka) after nuking

    I'm not great with dairy either, so I use soya milk or oatley (oat based drink) instead.

    I like fat free greek yoghurt or fat free fromage frais with fruit (usually a banana or halved grapes or pineapple) - yum!

    Good luck!

    I suggest looking into stevia drops, i think mine is by nunaturals? Gatta check but it added sweetness to where u would normally want sugar, without adding sugar! i add it to my pancake mix( healthy mix such as whole wheat flour or spelt flour etc ) or if u want oatmeal u can put it in the, or add some banana..bananas have sugar in them but not sugar like splenda! lol

    saute some spinach, add eggs, flip, add a LITTLE bit of cheese, fold it over - Quick Veggie Omelet, about 225 calories (made with 2 eggs).

    Low sugar cereal that I swear tastes just like "Cap'n Crunch":

    Fiber One, Honey Squares Cereal
    (3/4 cup = 80 Calories, 3g Sugar, 10g Fiber)

    And try switching your skim milk to "Silk Unsweetened Almond Milk". They taste the same to me. (8oz = 35 calories, 0g Sugar)

    I love steel cut oats over a sliced banana. You can get instant steel cut oats, otherwise they take 30 minutes to cook! The only sugar is whatever is in the banana naturally. And very heart-healthy, too.

    I like veggies for breakfast sometimes

    I stir fry a batch for the week then have them at dinner oro for breakfast with a protein (Chicken at night, eggs in the a.m. but you could do a meat (lean ham for example) or with either meal, soy)

    Try Muesli. You can cook it with water or milk just like oatmeal. I use unsweetened coconut milk. Sometimes I add sliced fruit on top.

    Special K mixed berries (1 c.) = 110 calories
    Silk almond milk (1/2 c) = 30 calories

    Yummy in my tummy

    Fyi, kellogs makes like 4 varieties of cereal that are 110 calories per serving.. the chocolate is especially tasty, especially if you're a chocoholic like me.

    My usual is egg beaters, scrambled with saute'd peppers, onions and mushrooms (pam spray for the saute part). I usually have it with a whole grain english muffin and 2 pieces turkey sausage.

    Today I changed it up and had old fashioned oats with 1.5 tbsp dark cocoa powder and 3/4 cup almond milk with a banana sliced into it. Cook on the stove 5-8 mins. It was so yummy and felt like a treat!
