breakfast--quick ideas?

My current favorite is Yoplait Light yogurt (all different flavors) and Kashi Go Lean Crunch Honey Almond Flax cereal (granola) added in. I was eating 4 egg whites with hot sauce and that kept me full for awhile but then I think my body got used to it/metabolism sped up so I switched to the yogurt and granola which keeps me pretty full until lunch. I always bring a small healthy snack just in case I am hungry before lunch though like a light string cheese or some fruit!

I find a bkfst that has alot of the food groups work the best. Maybe flat bread (100cal), egg whites (32cal) or real egg (70), slice of low fat cheese (90cal), or turkey sausage patty (90cal) to make a sandwich. Add a glass of skim milk too (80cal). Or if I'm in a big rush, 2 low fat waffles in toaster, add pb & jelly. Take sandwich on the go, and a piece of fruit or yogurt. Hope this helps!

I bake a fritatta with 4 days worth of eggs then I put individual portions in baggies to microwave and just top my bagel with my eggs.

I did a baked apple with stevia and toast yesterday. It was pretty yummy.

#1 Whole Grain low sugar bread toasted (2 slices) - with no preservative peanut butter & low sugar jam + piece of fruit + hard boiled egg

#2 Oatmeal + piece of fruit + hard boiled egg

#3 Granola + fruit (berries usually) + 0% yougurt

All quick, easy & yummy

As for morning snacking. I think that a morning snack is a good thing. Just not too much! And, I usually include a generous portion of water with any snack. Try non-salted nuts & dried fruit (raisins, dates or cranberries) or fresh fruit:apples, bananas, pears, etc.

It's very protein heavy, but I have a 30 g scoop of WPI, 285 ml of milk, then either some variety of fruit (banana, etc) and/or eggs, depending on what protein and cholesterol I'm likely to be eating the rest of the day.

I like Bagel Thins with a Laughing Cow cream cheese wedge.

I've been eating go kashi high protein and it keeps me filled for a few hours.

Trying eating fruit before anything else. Eat some fruit with water, then once finished, wait 30 minutes, if you're still hungry, then eat something small like peanut butter crackers or a granola bar or something. I read the fruit thing in a book last year and tried it...it really works!! There were so many days that I was not hungry after eating the fruit.

100 calorie english muffin and one egg, or a bagel thin with spray butter

One of my favorites is - Yogurt, a handful of berries - strawberries or blackberries are my faves cause they are high in fiber, and a serving of almonds and maybe a slice of cheese. These things are easy to grab and take with you and they fill me up for awhile. I also have breakfast with a BIG (like 32oz) glass of ice water with lemon.

Fast/Easy Breakfasts that always make me feel satisfied:

oatmeal...and add some fruit to it to make it even more filling.
a banana and bowl of cereal
hard-boiled eggs. I make a few in the beginning of the week and then just grab 1 in the morning to have with toast or 1/2 a bagel.

1 Packet Quaker Cream of Wheat
1 Scoop Muscle Milk chocolate protein powder
1/2 cup sliced strawberries

Chocolatey flavored goodness with a bump in iron from the COW, a good dose of protein and other nutrients from muscle milk, and a serving of fruit!! :laugh:

100 cal English Muffin thats loaded with fiber and 1 serving of egg beaters. Put the egg juice in a coffe cup and in the microwave for 45 secs. 2 of those for 225 and you got a crapload of protein to start the day. I added a little bit of cheese and bacon bits for something dif. Added about 25-30 cals each. I was really amazed how good the egg beaters were.

thats sounds great!!

I have oatmeal with a few tablespoons of low fat strawberry yoghurt for a cream of strawberry taste and i normally say full until early evening or a banana smoothie always wakes me up and keeps me full
