    Eggs are good. They are nature's protein bars.

    If you want a variety, though, try "overnight oatmeal" aka. "refrigerator oatmeal". Mix equal parts old fashioned oats and yogurt, add flavorings to your liking (1tbsp peanut butter, 1tsp cinnamon, and 1tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder are my favorite combo, but you can really get creative). Stir it up, and refrigerate overnight. You can eat it cold like I do, or heat it up if you want.

    I love eggs! I really do! I could eat them everyday, i eat them boiled, fried (nonstickpan), scrambeled, in quiche, any which way! I LOVE THEM!

    I am also aware that surely this is not healthy to eat eggs every day!
    What can I switch my breakfast up with????

    I do not like oatmeal at all! and cereal doesnt not keep me full for long, I dont do shakes etc, I food too much, LOL Yeah I know I am full of rubbish!

    I would love to have english muffins with stuff on but I try stay away from wheat because of my Psoriasis......

    Any ideas...

    I've seen several articles lately that defend eggs, and say that eggs are healthy and it's fine to eat them every day. The yolk has calories, so just work them into your daily calorie plan. If you love them that much, don't give them up.

    I agree that eggs are great for breakfast! But for those of you who said they would rather eat lunch, why not just eat lunch foods for breakfast?
    Food is food, we put labels on it like "breakfast food" but why not eat somthing healthy you would normally eat for lunch, for breakfast?

    It used to be feared that eggs were high in cholesterol & that's why you shouldn't eat them too often. But research is now showing that eggs are much lower than what we originally thought. And they are finding that people who eat eggs often are less likely to have heart disease!! So eat those eggs up!! lol. I'm a every morning egg eater too. I do 1 whole egg with 3 tbs egg whites! Makes them fluffier!! ENJOY!

    P.S.
    I work for a cardiologist who eats eggs everyday too!! :happy:

    My Doctors (holistic MD, Chiro, Nutrition Dr.) have all told me that if I get free range eggs a dozen a week is no problem. Cholesterol is needed by the body to build new cells. They also said that "standard" eggs are not as good. Apparently if the chickens are fed things not intended (designed) for them the fat ratio's are off in the eggs. When I started bike riding in the mornings ( I am up to about 10 - 12 miles a day in 45 - 55 minutes!) they told me to get more protein and up to 4 eggs for breakfast was good as long as I had that level of exercise. I have upped my protein and good fats (coconut oil, olive oil, grass fed beef etc.) each to over 150 a day. Be sure to double check the foods in the MFP database, more than half of them are wrong or incomplete! Once I started eating for my exercise level I started adding muscle and loosing fat.

    I try to switch up breakfast with eggs one day, yogurt and fruit another day, grain berry pancake mix (less calories and carbs), and treat myself to half english muffin or bagel one morning. The variety helps me.

    My cholesterol was high so I was advised to quit eating eggs - I was having 2 a day for breakfast. So I switched over to egg beaters. And my cholesterol went up. Egg beaters are easy - just pour and no shells to worry about. Seems like the experts can't make up their minds about what is good for you and what is not. So if you like eggs, eat eggs.

    Nothing wrong with eating them everyday.

    If you can make friends with someone who has chickens. NOTHING beats fresh organic eggs.

    Eggs are good for you! It's too bad there is so much junk science around.

    I personally don't care for eggs. i only eat them once in a while. But if you love them, eat them! And I poo-poo the whole "don't eat the yolk" thing too. Yolks are the yummy part and full of good protein. Two eggs a day is pretty low in calories.

    There are gluten free / wheat free english muffins. Also, here is a link with a recipe to make your own. They sound really good although I haven't tried them. If this recipe doesn't work for you, there were numerous others.

    I recently came across the combination of 8 oz greek yogurt (plain), with 1 tablespoon of honey or fig preserve or any jam for that matter and any type of nut.

    So, this week I had the yogurt with walnuts and honey and it was delicious. You can add a banana on the side and your all set.

    You should also try nut butters with a piece of fruit like an apple or pear and a piece of really delicious cheese like brie or manchego.

    This is a good sausage patty. I make it on the weekend and freeze it. It makes 8 patties. I usually eat a banana or some type of fruit with it.

    You can eat anything you want for breakfast. Who says you have to eat eggs, or cereal. Eat what you eat for lunch or dinner. There are no rules.

    Ego waffles really open up a lot of doors. My brother is a diabetic and he often starts his day with a plain whole wheat ego waffle with peanut butter on it. it's fast and filling. For a really awesome treat if you put like a super small amount of nutella on an ego waffle and load it up with fruit (I like strawberries) it tastes just like a crepe. Although I can't have nutella in the house when I'm on a diet :P
