It seems like a lot of people are looking help with breakfast so I started this section for anyone who would like to share or get some ideas on how to start your day off right.

Remember breakfast is the most important meal of the day

i love my:
1 Whole Wheat (whole) english muffin from Trader Joe's 2.5 pts.
1 laughing cow wedge (split between the two halves of the english muffin)1 pt.
1 Tbsp. of honey. 1 pt.
Total is 4.5

i broil it in the oven for a couple minutes. sometimes i substitue the honey for 1 pc. of ham, or do one half ham, and one half honey.

i will also do oatmeal with craisins a lot.

I've been having a fried egg sandwich (toasted).
I just toast some light bread, fry 3 egg whites with cooking spray, a slice of low fat cheese and add some mustard. I also spray the bread with no calorie spray butter. 3 points!!

Greetings,

I just was looking at this thread and thought I would add something... Thomas's has a whole grain lite english muffin that is only 1 point for the whole thing... If you are a member of Sam's club you can order some on-line that are only 1 point also... I believe they are brand named Natures Grains Lite... and if you are doing it this way you have to order a case at a time but they freeze very well and it is way cheaper then picking up the Thomas's at the grocery store.

Have a great day!
Princess
