I want to get some ideas on what is best to eat for breakfast. What kind of cereals are the best also, because I LOVE any kind of cereal. I don't have much time in the morning to cook and I've been eating a lot of Special K w/ a banana on top, but I'm getting kind of bored with that. I've noticed a lot of people eating Kashi Go Lean, is this cereal good? I need ideas for a quick breakfast for someone who needs to lose over 100 lbs.
I just recently tried the Kashi Go Lean and it was okay - I mean nothing like fruit loops or anything. Little 'cardboadie' but it has something to it I enjoy. Just last night I found Kashi Go Lean Crunch - I haven't tried it with milk yet but I have a bit dry and it tasted much better .... not as good for you though.
I also enjoy the quaker instant flavoured oatmeal - bit high in sugar but they do make low sugar and weight control ones.
Another thing I love is toast... with some very low fat cream cheese and sliced meat - I enjoy begals too but try not to eat them too often and if I do have a begal I try and watch my bread carbs for the rest of the day.
I definitely like Kashi Go Lean and Go Lean Crunch. I recently started eating Kashi Good Friends because of the high fiber content (12 grams per serving). I also like Kashi Heart to Heart, but that one has the lowest fiber content of all the ones I listed.
I usually have cereal with skim milk for breakfast but occasionally I will have a hardboiled egg (sometimes 2) with one of the vegetarian breakfast patties (like the ones from Morningstar Farms or Boca Burger). I usually boil the eggs ahead of time so I can just grab them out of the fridge when I want them.

Yeah, that's the way it tastes to me. I've tried getting used to the Kashi cereals, but *blech*, to me they taste horrible. That and I don't like the texture. It grosses me out
Oh man I am going to weigh in on this one....i just tried that Kashi Go Lean Crunch and I am HOOKED on it! loads of fiber and protein and with a 1/2 banana and a boiled egg, i now am good to go ALL morning..with no snack!
I have tried other cereals but nothing is as good as this in my opinion!!
I make a shake most mornings with a banana, berries, fat-free vanilla or fruit yogurt, and vanilla soymilk - it generally keeps me full for awhile. On mornings I want something more i do good old poached eggs on flax bread toast - they only take about 3 minutes to cook, and are pretty much guaranteed to fill me up until lunch.

This is almost exactly what I have for breakfast a lot of the time, except I use Silk soy "yogurt" (the plain kind). My "other breakfast" (seems like I only have 2 these days, at least on weekdays) is a cup of Kashi GoLean dry and a piece of fruit. I like it, but I am partial to a lot of things that taste 'cardboadie' to others.
I enjoy Kashi Go Lean Crunch as well from time to time.
My most recent breakfast has been steel cut oatmeal with dried fruit - I make 4 servings in my slow cooker and just keep it in the fridge and microwave in the morning after the first day. It's great with dried blueberries, cranberries, or sour cherries.
I also have a good whole grain slice of toast with 1T of natural peanut butter on top. I saw the other day to slice half a banana on top of that - going to try that next.
I like eggs and whole wheat toast as well which have about once a week.
I'm partial to Oats & More - the off-brand of Honey Bunches of Oats, but the granola chunks are more substantial . I shop at Pathmark so I buy Pathmark brand, but other supermarkets market it under their own label. It comes in honey, almond & strawberry flavors. My favorite is the honey kind with milk and sliced bananas. Second favorite is Honey Nut Cheerios. Third, Raisin Bran.
Then again, I cereal so much (could eat a box dry!) that I rarely eat it. I'm better off with toast, peanut butter, applesauce and bananas

If you can spare a few calories, try that with honey drizzled on top or a spread of applesauce - yum!
normally I have cereal and skim milk, maybe a piece of fruit, but this morning I woke up with a craving for a veggie cheese burger LOL It was great! Funny how I forget we don't have to stick to "breakfast" foods.
I was eating the packeted Quaker Oatmeal every morning, then realized how it really wasn't all that good for you with all the sugar.
SO, this week, I've been scrambling 1 whole egg with 2 egg whites. They take like a minute to scramble over the stove. Then I shower and get ready for work. When I'm ready to leave, I put the eggs in a baggie. The night before I measure out a quarter cup of Kraft Free Shredded Cheddar Cheese and put a Thomas' Whole Grain Light english muffin in a baggie. When I get to work, I reheat the eggs with the cheese on top in the microwave and toast the english muffin. I put some eggs and cheese on each half of the muffin.
It's SOOO good and it keeps me filled up for hours.
Mmm...that sounds really good cemetarysiren....I'm gonna have to try that!
I need to change up my breakfast routine a bit. I'm always in such a hurry. I have a whole wheat english muffin with peanut butter and eat it on the way to the bus. It's a little boring compared to all these yummy breakfasts!
