First, I just decide to give this a try starting yesterday, so this is my first post. Does anyone have any suggestions for a quick, healthy breakfast that will hold me over until lunch. Breakfast is the most frustrating meal of the day for me. I appreciate any and all suggestions. Thanks.

    Why don't you skip it? I never eat breakfast and most of the bodybuilders and strength athletes I'm friends with don't either. If it frustrates you then don't eat it. You can wait to eat at lunch.

    If you insist on eating breakfast then eat something simple. I prefer a fattier, low-carb breakfast. It's much more satiating for me, so I go bacon and eggs. Also, just because it's called breakfast doesn't mean you have to eat specific foods. You can have tacos in the morning if you want to.

    It's smoothie season for me. Never ending possibilities and additives for extra nutrition.

    I love breakfast so much! Best meal of the day. I usually have either banana on toast, oatmeal with cut up banana or yoghurt and weetbix :)

    Unsweetened almond milk 35 cals a cup. I have two cups
    1 packet of carnation instant breakfast (non sweetened) 60 cals. (The rich chocolate milk)

    Good and very filling. I think it's because of the protein in it.. i don't know, but being that I'm a binge eater it's hard to find anything that fills me up.. This does.

    I never eat breakfast, so breakfast for me is usually a cup of coffee and a "up & go" I dont know if you have them there, but its just a liquid breakfast in a carton full of good stuff!

    I always used to get hungry so fast after breakfast, now I have 2/3 cup of oats, 1 cup of almond milk, cooked on the stove and then a tablespoon of peanut butter on top and it usually keeps me full till lunchtime. I've been having it every day for weeks, I love it . Or, two boiled eggs and two slices of multigrain toast is good for me :)

    I used to have 2 Organic Weetbix with full fat milk, organic high fibre sourdough toast with flaxseed and a banana.

    Trying something different which started today which is high protein, low carb breakfast. Went down well, was definitely tastier and I felt fuller for longer :) 2 whole egg omelette with tomato, mushroom, mixed herbs and some shaved turkey. Yum!

    I used to skip breakfast too... couldnt stand to eat early in the morning, but I noticed the LBS. melted off faster when I started eating in the morning. some of the things I eat are...

    1/2 a whole wheat English Muffin with 2 TBS cottage cheese.
    1/2 Whole Wheat English Muffin with 1 TBS peanut butter and a few slices of banana
    1 packet of instant oatmeal (variety of flavors) and 1 slice whole wheat or multi-grain toast with peanutbutter or low sugar jam.
    1/2 cup of Fiber One cereal with 1/2 cup milk and 1 banana.
    1/2 whole wheat bagel, with FF cream cheese and thin slices of apple.

    I try yo keep it simple since I'm not use to big breakfasts in the morning, plus, I eat 5 times a day so i need to spread my calories over 5 small meals.

    But I see a few breakfast ideas I might have to try, they all look so yummy!!!

    I like to have Easy Eggs Benedict, 2 poached eggs with a quick sauce consisting of 2 tbsp of lite mayonnaise, 1 tsp dijon mustard and a few drops of squeezed lemon, mix together and pour over eggs on wholegrain toast or bread. Add a bit of sliced ham or smoked salmon, whatever you prefer. Although this is once a week for me, I'd much prefer wholegrain oats with trim milk and a bit of low fat yoghurt or sliced banana. Lasts me til well after lunch. Good luck with your breakfast choices! :)

    I try to get a fair amount of protein and slow burning carbs into my breakfasts... those seem to keep me the fullest for longest, but I can rarely last until lunch.

    wholemeal toast with eggs; savoury biscuits with ham, cheese and tomato; or high fibre cereal with milk and yoghurt.

    I also always try to have a piece of fruit, usually banana or grapes.

    If i have high protein i just get hungry... it's not so much stomach hunger (until 11am, anyway)... it's more a need for carbs for my brain to function properly.

    If I have only carbs it doesn't fill me enough.

    If i have only fruit the sugar rush becomes a sugar crash.

    I can usually make it through until 11:30 if i can combine all three. If i miss one group i have to dash for morning tea.

    Edit: oh, and eating more does not help, lol. my body seems to think 'it's going to be a hard day, better keep eating' if i eat a big breakfast and i get hungrier sooner, lol.

    I always eat breakfast, usually 1 cup of oatmeal before I workout, then soon after a protein shake

    0.1% fat natural fromage frais with a tea spoon of honey mixed in with a small sprinkling of granola..

    At the weekends I have eggs and bacon on one slice of wholemeal brown bread or porridge!

    I ate Special K with fruit on top for breakfast for years as it's advertised as this great diet food, but the recommended serving size of Special K is a pathetic 30g! Plus it tastes like cardboard and is no way filling. Soooo, when I started MFP, I switched to instant porridge ('Oats So Simple') - at first I was worried that oatmeal would be high in calories, but made with skimmed milk it's actually about the same as Special K with fruit. It tastes way better, it's really filling and warming and I don't start to get hungry until *almost* lunch time.
    I tend to have this porridge every week day (there are lots of different flavours available so it doesn't get borning and only takes 2 minutes in the mircrowave) and then at weekends I'll have brown toast with low fat spread and marmite, or even a cheeky grilled bacon sandwich if I have been good!

    Protein shake with whole milk and half a banana and I sometimes throw in a couple strawberries.
    Bacon, fruit, and yogurt sometimes with a low carb piece of toast
    cook a serving's worth of couscous in milk and mix in fruit and top with a dab of greek yogurt occasionally with just a dash of honey for an extra kick

    I eat at work around 7:30/8, so most mornings it's an english muffin (usually whole grain, but sometimes I'll splurge on a cinnamon raisin :)), a tablespoon of peanut butter, and then I cut up a banana and make it into a sandwich. If I get hungry before lunch, I will have an apple, clementine, or other serving of fruit.

    I've never been a breakfast person; I just don't really like breakfast foods and I never have an appetite first thing in the morning. Since I started working from home I make myself a fruit salad; just chop up two or three kinds of fruit and put them in a bowl then I can just pick at it while I'm at my desk. This is the first time in my life I've found something I like to eat in the morning and I'm surprised at how well it fills me up.
