What do you eat for breakfast? Bored of egg whites!

:smooched:

I tend to find ways to jazz up egg whites with different veggies and then alternate that with oatmeal topped with blueberries and a few crushed almonds.... but the oat bran pancakes just gave me another option and blew my mind! yes yes yes, will be trying! Thank you!

Most mornings for me it's 2 dessert spoons of full-fat Greek yogurt, 25g raspberries, 25g blueberries and 30g nuts and seeds all mixed up.

Sometimes it's 2 whole eggs scrambled with 10g butter and maybe 20g grated cheese.

I can see why you are bored!!! How about a weightwatcher bagel at around 150 calslightly toasted with low cal margarine and marmite, or 2 boiled eggs with some ryvita crispbreads, or 2 dry fried eggs on 2 slices of low cal brown bread.......?

I make a breakfast shake using about a cup of baby-spinach, 1 frozen banana, a bit of peanut butter, and some water.

The banana makes it nice and creamy without needing to add milk.

Mini quiches in cupcake lined cupcake pan; with mushroom, spinach, (cheese if you like), sun-dried tomatoes...

or

Oatmeal, stevia and hazelnut milk.

Or

a smoothie; I put frozne organic strawberries, acai puree (unsweetened), hazelnut milk, protein powder, blackberries. Or sometimes blueberries and almond butter and I always add spinach and/or some coconut milk yogurt.

Or

2 boiled eggs with sea salt, and some almond/coconut milk together.

Or

gluten-free hot dog corn muffins (I buy a mix, make it in a cupcake pan and add Applegate gluten-free/hormone-free/100% beef dogs in it) and my son loves it. I use honey to sweeten the mix.

Or

left overs from the night before like chicken, quinoa, or chicken and veggies, etc.

Or

apples, celery and raw almond butter together.

Or

Juicing; organic apple/celery/carrot mixture

Or

bowl of fruit; fresh pineapple, kiwi, organic strawberries, blueberries

Or
Yogurt with granola on top

Or
I could keep going... LOL

Or
gluten-free pancakes with applesauce and cinnamon (I freeze them).

p.s. why are you eating so little? That is not very much fat or energy for a morning breakfast in my opinion.

Leftover steak for bfast is awesome!

I had a steak for breakast this morning with a piece of toast.

You could also try any other Food.

Option 1: 1 hard boiled egg (70 Cal) plus one wedge light laughing cow cheese of choice, I like french onion (35 cal) mashed together and spread on 1 toasted thin bagel (110 cal) served open face

Option 2: 1 hard boiled egg (70 Cal) lightly salted with sea salt and 1 toasted thin bagel (110 cal)spread with laughing cow light cream cheese, I like strawberries (45 cal) served on the side of the egg.

I usually have 1 cup of coffee with 1/2 cup skim milk, 1 tsp sugar, and one package Truvia. Balances out the taste for me.

Total cal count with coffee: Option 1: 257 calories Option 2: 267 calories.

Yum!!

HG's Cheesecake Flapjack Stack

Ingredients:
1/4 tsp. sugar-free French vanilla powdered creamer (like the kind by Coffee-mate)
2 tbsp. fat-free cream cheese, room temperature
2 no-calorie sweetener packets (like Splenda or Truvia)
1/8 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 cup whole-wheat flour

1/2 tsp. baking powder

Dash salt

1/4 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute (like Egg Beaters Original)

1 tbsp. low-sugar strawberry preserves
5 frozen unsweetened strawberries, partially thawed and sliced
1/2 tsp. powdered sugar
2 tbsp. Fat Free Reddi-wip

Directions:
To make the cheesecake topping, in a small bowl, mix powdered creamer with 1 tsp. hot water until dissolved. Add cream cheese, 1 sweetener packet, and vanilla extract. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Cover and chill for at least 10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, remaining sweetener packet, and salt. Stir in egg substitute and 1/4 cup water.

Bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat. Add half of the batter to form a large pancake. Cook until pancake begins to bubble and is solid enough to flip, 2 - 3 minutes. Gently flip and cook until both sides are lightly browned and inside is cooked through, 1 - 2 minutes.

Plate your pancake. Remove skillet from heat, re-spray, and return to medium-high heat. Repeat with remaining batter to make a second pancake.

Give cheesecake topping a stir and spread half of it onto one pancake. Top with the other pancake and spread with remaining cheesecake topping.

In a microwave-safe bowl, thoroughly mix preserves with 1 tbsp. hot water. Add sliced strawberries and toss to coat. Microwave for 30 seconds, or until warm.

Top pancakes with strawberry topping, powdered sugar, and Reddi-wip. Chow down!

Wow that is a LOT of cheese you are eatting. I find cheese is high in calories with out giving a lot of bang for the buck, in other words you still feel empty afterwards and hungry soon after.
I also recommend against most cereal products as they are so high in calories.

Why not try a whole banana, half a cup of strawberries and mix them up with half a.cup.of Greek Goddess honey Greek yogurt. Very filling, packed with protein and vitamins, but with a low calorie count.
Or an egg white omlete with fresh baby spinach, tomato, and some chopped up onion. No cheese. Again high in bulk so you feel full but low in calories.

Edit: I am also SHOCKED at how many people are recommending prepared grain or bread products, which are notoriously high in calories versus their small servings size.

I make granola to go bars (healthy cooking recipe) and have one of those. It makes a big pan and stored in an airtight container lasts me for a couple of weeks (unless hubby eats them, too). I change up the dried fruit/nut combo, too, for something different. Instead of cranberry-almond, I tried dates and/or dried mango and pistachio. yummy. The toasting of the oats, nuts, coconut beforehand is key, but doesn't take very long. I also make a homemade peanut butter granola and put a 1/4 cup of that on nonfat greek yogurt. It is so yummy, filling, and gets rid of those cravings for something dessert-ish. I never thought I could make granola bars and homemade granola, but it is so easy and quick. I will never buy this in the store again - just make my own.

Oatmeal with fruit, nuts and 2 tablespoons of juice.

Cold or warm SooFoo (a super healthy mixture of whole grains, rice and lentils).

A bean burrito with olives, vegetables. I make these in quantity and freeze them.
