    I'll admit I'm in a rut - but it's working for me. Monday-to-Friday, I have 1/2 packet of Carnation Instant Breakfast (chocolate) with 2 cups skim milk - its 237 calories, and the protein content is quite filling, keeps me going until noon. (it's too sweet and sticky to mix the way the package suggests).

    Weekends it's usually a western omelet (1 egg, green pepper, onion, lean ham) cooked in nonstick pan, with 2 slices toast and Tropicana OJ (1 cup) - that's just about the 400 calorie mark.

    1 cup of 100% Whole Grain Old Fashioned Oats
    1/4 to 1/2 of a chopped up apple (Gala or Fuji are good choices)
    1-2 Tbsp of brown sugar
    1 Tbsp of honey.

    Adds a decent taste to otherwise boring oats, and is much healthier than any store bought junk.

    I eat the weirdest breakfasts. It's just another meal for me so I don't designate it "breakfasty" type foods unless it's the weekend and I want to make sweet love to waffles and pancakes. :)

    Usually it's a raw mixture of sprouted mung beans for protein, and a whole bunch of raw veggies in a bowl, with lime/lemon juice and fresh herbs. It's super filling and I don't get any kind of crash from it. And I can save a hot meal for my lunch :)

    Half a cup of oats
    An egg
    Frozen rasberries or blueberries
    mix together and zap in the microwave for 2 minutes

    Top with 1/2 cup of yogurt

    Super filing (because of the egg) a little bit sweet from the fruit and yummy.


    Oh Yes! Im going to try this!

    During the week it's usually a cup of coffee and a Fiber One bar... well the generic brands. On the weekends we usually have scrambled eggs and turkey bacon. I'll usually have 2 eggs and then 3 pieces of bacon.

    I have the same breakfast every morning: protein shake, 2 hard boiled egg whites, a multi and some coffee :smile:

    why have a protein shake and miss out on the egg yolks, there are 14g of protein in egg yolk and loads of nutrients, its a near perfect food and you can survive on a dessert island a long long time on eggs! you say on your profile page that you want to ditch bad eating habits, well i’d say missing out egg yolks and filling yourself up with artificial food is one to ditch.

    not having a go, i’m a qualified nutritionist, just pointing out a great benefit, you’d save money too xx

    I usually have Sunmaid Natural California Raisins - Mini-Snacks, 2 boxes , and put it in Nature's Place - Organic Old Fashioned Oatmeal, 1/4 cup dry. I do not use mike or suger but I do put in cinnamon and sometime splenda. I also will change it up with the fruit. I love blackraspberries in it.

    165 calories.

    I eat Weetabix (UK Version) or Weetbix (Australian version) [Whatever I can find in the international section at the grocery store)

    I crush them up, top with diced prunes, a pinch of stevia and almond milk = 230 calories :happy:

    And if I'm still hungry after, I eat a 50 cal Fiber One Yoghurt.

    My favourite breakfast for a busy weekday includes:
    A slice of whole wheat or olive bread toasted (60 grams for 166 calories)
    White cheese / string cheese / any kind of soft cheese (30 grams for about 60-70 calories) or an egg -boiled or scrambled with only a splash of milk for 70 calories)
    Homemade quince jam (10 grams for 26 calories)
    Black tea with no sugar or if I'm going to exercise that day a small cup of latte with milk (non-fat) for about 110 calories.

    A cucumber, tomato or similar can also be added, as well as some olives.

    Good luck!

    My favorite is a variety! Little bit of everything in the mornings.

    1/2cup 1% Small Curd Cottage Cheese
    1/2 medium grapefruit
    1 slice of Gluten free toast
    1tbsp of jelly of choice

    To switch it up I like to swap out the grapefruit with 1/2 small pear, 1/4 apple. Or swap out the cottage cheese with two scrambled egg whites (no fat added).

    It averages out to 250calories to 300 calories.

    Hope that helps!

    4 egg whites, 1.5 oz low sodium sliced turkey (cut into pieces), chopped cherry tomatoes, 1 laughing cow cheese wedge--- all scrambled. 145 calories. No carbs. gotta love it :)
    I would definitely eat a few carbs with this though.... a piece of whole wheat toast or an apple. (I only eat bananas after i work out as they are very high on the glycemic index and will shoot your blood sugars up quickly!)

    Either oatmeal and banana or 3 egg whites and a whole egg and a sausage.

    Yesterday, I had peanut butter toast. I think it was 300 calories.

    Today I had shakeology prepared with water, a hard boiled egg, and a clementine.

    My favorite breakfast is a cup of plain greek yogurt, 1 cup of berries, and half a cup of Kashi GoLean berry crunch (or something like that lol)
