Breakfast Foods

If you are not crazy about breakfast, try melting only one slice of a mild white cheese, like Havarti or Munster on a low calorie wheat bread with a slice of tomato. I do this in the toaster oven and it holds me over till lunch. EAT SLOW...that helps too. I always have a small bag of almonds in my purse to help ease that morning hunger!

In the summer, I make a breakfast smoothie so I can sip it all morning (since I usually don't have the time nor can I stomach eating a breakfast fast).

Frozen fruit (I like mango)
silken Tofu (you don't taste it, but it's very good for you and the reason I have long term energy)
a little juice (or you can use water)
a banana
1 tbl wheat germ
1 tbl soy protein

blend, put in reusable container with fat straw.

I split my breakfast up. At 6:00 am I normally have 2 slices of 35 calorie toast with a little bit of margarine and some cinnamon and sugar (just enough to taste it). Then around 10 I have a low fat yogurt.

Kashi Go Lean cereal, fruit and skim milk

Oatmeal w/blueberries and walnuts. I also add a scoop of protein sometimes. I never get hungry till afternoon!

I have the same problem, and so I break up my breakfsast into two parts. I eat a bowl of cereal (low cal like kashi or special k) with 1/2 fruit and low fat milk. Then around 10-10:30 when I'm hungry again I eat a low fat yogurt or a string sheese and piece of fruit.

Smaller meals every few hours do me a lot of good and keep me from binge eating.

Good luck!

I do this too! I find two small breakfast meals really keep me from those crazy cravings by the end of the day. My first one is around 7:30-8am then my second around 10-10:30.

These are my favorite breakfast meals...
oatmeal with ff milk
natural peanut butter on whole wheat crackers
Kashi honey flax cereal (forget the name)
Kashi waffles
protein powder blended with cottage cheese & FF milk...very good
1 serving of Cheddar Cheese(not lowfat, yuk) on WW toast
boiled eggs with WW toast

Add a whole grain toast with natural peanut butter to your Special K breakfast- you'll stay fuller longer.

I agree, I also love oatmeal for breakfast. If I will be in meetings or on conference calls all morning, I add some nuts in my oatmeal at breakfast time, but if I will be sitting at my desk, I just bring a serving of nuts with me. If I get hungry, I just nibble on the nuts and it holds me over to my next meal.

I have TONS of extra zucchini, and every Sunday I have waffles, so I came up with the idea to make zucchini waffles! They're really good, healthy, and a great way to start your day =]

2/3 cup grated zucchini, lightly packed

1 ½ cups flour
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar

1 ½ cups milk
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

In a small mixing bowl combine flour, salt and baking soda.

In a large mixing bowl beat eggs. Add milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar. Beat in dry mixture until fluffy. Add grated zucchini.

Grease waffle iron and follow own waffle iron instructions.

This makes enough for 3-4 people. Enjoy!

I wish you could have me over for breakfast to try one. I do love zuchinni... HEB has some frozen grilled zuchinni and I LOVE IT. Thanks for sharing.

Layer items in your bowl in this order:

1/2 cup lowfat granola
1 small sliced banana
1/2 (small 6 oz container) fat free vanilla yogurt
just a sprinkle of more granola
1/2 cup sliced strawberries, or blueberries, or blackberries, peach, whatever
The rest of the yogurt
sprinkle of granola or fruit - for top garnish

Oh this sounds so good! I've copied and placed it in my "recipes" file. Thx for sharing.

I either have sugar free oatmeal maple and brown sugar flavor and yogurt or half an egg sandwhich and yogurt. I use one slice of bread and cut it in half, 2 egg whites and one whole egg fried in olive oil pam spray, 2% kraft cheese and mustard. Its around 250 calories for the sandwhich, so depending on what yogurt you get its about 300 to 350 for the enire breakfast and you feel full for a long time. Try drinking tea, black coffee, or water with breakfast to help make you feel fuller.

I love a big breakfast, but I found I had to give it up for a small morning meal and equal size snack - no matter how much I ate at 8 AM, I was starving by 10.
Peanut butter is the thing that keeps me full the most. I have 1-2 T on a piece of light wheat bread, or mixed in with my oatmeal if I have time in the morning. The best thing is it's so fast and I can eat it on the run (a terrible habit!)
Make sure you drink plenty of water with foods that have soluble fiber (like oats and nuts). The water helps to expand the fiber so you feel full. I always down a big mug of water with my pb.

I have either 1 serving of quick-cooking oatmeal with 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 banana, 1 tsp. flaxseed meal, 1 tbsp. sliced almonds and splash of brown sugar or two slices of whole wheat bread with scrambled eggs in between with 1 oz pepper jack cheese and some avacado.

I stil eat a morning snack and then lunch but then I am full again until dinner.

this morning at about 7:30 i had
1/2 cup of southwestern (with veggies) egg beaters mixed in with about 6 ounces of (1/4 block) soft tofu and i scrambled that up with some steamed broccoli (1 cup) on the side it was sooooo good it tasted like one HUGE bowl of scrambled eggs and then i had two cups of coffee with splenda
that was about 200 OH SO FILLING and yummie cals

but normally i have mccans irish oatmeal that i microwave longer (with extra water) to make a poridge; i like to add splenda and pepper to it, and sometimes i throw an egg in their for some extra yummyness 150 cals

OR i have Kash golean (or fiber one) with unsweetened almond milk and a splenda or that OMGAWD fall on floor good HOOD chocolate milk X) chocolate fix in teh morning is soooo awesome 140-180 cals

and then again somedays i just heat up egg beaters on teh skillet with some veggies, throw it on a toasted 100 cal fiberific english muffin, then i add the smart beat cheese which melts soooooo good 185 cals

Oh and i used to mix old fashioned oatmeal with cheese (which melts ) and add jalepenos (yes this sounds wierd but i LOVE LOVE LOVE it) 180

and then i snack at around 10 on some fruit or bar or cereal or whatevers good

lol and thats about it...
