    My two favorite breakfasts are:

    1. Eggo Whole Wheat Waffles spread with 1 tbsp of Nutella
    or
    2. Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal.

    Always with a piece of fruit. Usually a banana or apple.

    Whole grain oats or oatmeal, later a banana, or rice cake. I try to keep healthy food at work and "graze" all day, and LOTS of water.

    Lately I've been hooked on a 'Mexican Style' breakfast that we got from the Food Channel's 'Mexican Food Made Simple'... The presenter made a simple salsa of tinned tomatoes, onion, garlic, chilli, olive oil and a dash of Worstershire Sauce then she spread the salsa over a tortilla and topped it with a fried egg and grated cheese.... I'm not sure how Mexican it really is but it is delicious!!

    1 cup of kashi go lean crunch cereal with 2% milk with fresh blueberries. Half a cup of orange juice, half a cup of coffee with low fat creamer. :) I was using 1% milk, but my boyfriend bought 2% last time he was at the store.

    I added the blueberries for the first time today and they were delicious!

    [this is in response to southerbelle a few posts before me] I agree! My nutritionist told me to "eat like a king for breakfast, a prince for lunch, and a pauper for dinner" she said starting with your biggest meal first helps get your body and metabolism going and you will satisfied throughout the day. so far this has been working great for me :)

    One packet of instant oatmeal, whatever flavor of the week I feel like, and one slice of toast with one tablespoon of peanut butter. Sometimes I will have my Yoplait Whips Chocolate Mousse in the morning with breakfast but sometimes not. The yogurt is my treat for myself to keep me from craving sugar or chocolate and it works well. But with that Im full from when I get up at 530 am to work out until about one when I get lunch between classes and work.

    I havent had time to cook lately for breakfast, so my standby is a Special K vanilla cereal bar, small banana, and a bottle of water. If I had a choice I would go for eggs or oatmeal!

    I am a total cold cereal addict, but I've switched from some less than stellar choices to spoon size shredded wheat. Top with fruit and nuts, and low fat (1%) milk. (My fave combos are banana and walnuts, frozen raspberries and almonds, and raisins and almond) :smile:

    Absolutely not. Scientific evidence and Medical journals show NO evidence that eating breakfast increases metabolism nor makes that body any more efficient than when it takes in any other meal.
    Realize that the "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" slogan was created by the cereal companies.
    Look back at how our physiology was in the beginning. Being a hunter/gatherer, it was RARE for us to have "breakfast" first thing in the morning. It could be hours and hours before the first meal of the day. Industrial agriculture changed that.
    Our physical bodies purpose hasn't changed in thousands of years. It knows how to store and how to utilize energy efficiently. The myth that breakfast speeds up metabolism and jumpstarts it has been ongoing for so long.
    Now some HABITUALLY need breakfast, but to the body it doesn't distinguish meals. It digests every meal the same way.

    I put about 5 cups of greens (like Spring mix) into my Vitamix then add 2 T of hemp protein powder and 1 cup of frozen mixed berries and about 1 cup water and make a smoothie.

    As a side note; adding hemp protein powder and ground flax seeds to salads and such help make me feel much more full throughout the day and they keep my blood sugar level steady and thus avoids hunger spikes. Starches only serve to make you more hungry.
