eating breakfast?

I am like a lot of people on here...I don't like eating breakfast. However, I do my workouts in the morning and I need to eat something before I go. Since I like to do as little as possible when I first get up, it has to be easy. I go for 1/2 cup of lowfat cottage cheese and a thin wheat bagel with 1 T of Ricotta cheese on it. It took me awhile to realize that you don't have to eat traditional breakfast foods for breakfast.....pick what works for you, whatever healthy thing that might be.

Depending on how i feel in the mornings i usually have toast with peanut butter, cereal, youhurt or porridge. But i always make sure i have something

Soaked oatmeal (1/4 cup dry) soak it in water over night.... it absorbs the water, cooks faster and bulks up the oatmeal with water. I usually put 1/2 a banana, a couple of almonds and some milk on that.

Toasted Ezekial bread with peanut butter and honey.

One egg cooked in a non-stick skillet with one piece of Ezekial bread toast.

Fruit and yogurt.

Eggs Rancheros ... put some salsa, ranchero sauce or salsa verde into a VERY SMALL skillet. Heat until just bubbling. Turn down heat, break an egg into it. Splash salsa over egg to cook. Eat in a whole wheat tortilla with cheese or sour cream if you are feeling splurgy.

On super busy mornings, I will eat a Lara Bar or Kashi granola bar with a 1/2 cup milk.

I drink about 3 cups of black coffee every day.

I just got some of that delicious looking dark chocolate philly cream cheese. I am thinking chocolate strawberry toast? Then maybe blending some of it into greek yogurt for Chocolate Cheesecake yogurt.

I feel like I have breakfast down... lunch is a challege. I am a teacher and have less than 30 minutes to eat, so I have to pack something quick and healthy. So far, that is A LOT of sandwiches, salads and sometimes leftovers.

1/2 english muffin toasted,
1 oz cheddar cheese melted with one tablespoon milk. spread half of this on english muffin.
On top of that add a poached egg and on top of that the rest of the melted cheese. Tastes a lot like eggs benedict. I got this recipe from an old weight watchers cookbook.

you can go for 3 days of fasting before lean mass is lost....

I am talking max benefit, not actual lean mass loss, after the 14 hour mark the mtor receptor tends to shut down in the absence of some form of nutritional intake. I am aware that you can take it much further and yes there is a benefit from a fat loss perspective for doing so however I do not like to take it to that point and am only looking for the point of max benefit but this was not the point of this post so I will leave it at that.

Mmm.... usually, an orange or some smaller fruit, toast (hard to find healthier bread, I personally like Sara Lee calorie reduced bread), one-three egg whites, and a ton of water! Water, it seems, gets me going through the day better than coffee!

I currently switch between my 3 porridge mixes (banana and nut, apple and cinamon, coconut and chocolate) and a breakfast buritto thing that i make using 1 scramlbed egg, crumbled veggie bacon, grated cheese and alot of tabasco wrapped in a soft tortilla.

I will probably swop to fruit, yoghurt and maybe a slice of wholemeal toast as the weather gets warmer


Edited to say i dont eat this until i have dropped my kids at school and done my powerwalk.

Generally an Egg, Bacon and Toast.. Or Fruit and Toast.. Or oatmeal.

Depends on how late I got my subbing call that day

I usually have 2 slices of homemade whole wheat honey oat bread and an egg white omelet. I treat myself to 1 TBS butter for my bread (1/2TBS each piece).

Breakfast is never a problem as I usually wake up hungry. Its just finding that variety that doesn't include oatmeal (yuck!).

I make a meal replacement shake called Idealshape for breakfast. It is very filling and keeps me full from 6am-10am.. and then that's when I usually have my snack and then eat at 11:30.

It's tasty too, but kind of expensive for a 30day supply.. It has vitamins and stuff in it too

I either have a protein shake, oatmeal, or an omelet. If you have trouble eating breakfast, try a protein shake.

Lol, guess I'm the opposite of most, 3oz of ground turkey and a pan full of veggies stir fried, add a 1/2 cup of egg beaters and chili sauce, cover, cook till done, add a couple tablespoons salsa. Around 300 calories and I have a very busy job so it gives me the energy to get to lunch, :laugh:

I usually make oatmeal w/ cocoa, chia, coconut oil & a few chips but today I subbed quinoa for the oats. Not bad but the little sprouts are kind of gross looking. Might mix 1/2 oats 1/2 quinoa next time.

I am a cranky beast if I don't get breakfast. Usually I have 2 scrambled eggs with some sort of veggie in there and a little Parmesan and a little salsa. And coffee, of course.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I like variety and hardly ever have the same breakfast each day. This morning I had scrambled Egglands sprinkled with some 2% shredded cheddar and a small glass of Trop 50. I usually would have a cup of cereal hot or cold and half a grapefruit. I try to eat no later than 8am, but if I am not feeling that hungry I will have a yogurt with a banana.
