Breakfast???

  • Can you share some breakfast ideas? Obviously I'm avoiding junk cereals, but I haven't even wanted to eat healthy cereals lately. Actually, breakfast foods haven't been very appealing at all, so I've eaten soup a couple days this week. Any suggestions to get me out of a breakfast rut???

    Thanks!

  • Hi Jenny! Check out this thread for some alternative breakfast ideas: Breakfast
  • How about eggs
    I usually eat 3 egg whites and a piece of bacon or sausage. I'm on weight watchers and it usually comes to about 2-4 points depending on the type of meat I have. Sometimes I skip the meat all together and have 3 egg whites which is only 1 point. Hope this helps a little
  • I like cottage cheese, or sugar free yogurt and fruit, or sugar free "maple and brown sugar" instant oatmeal....Wal-mart sells their own store brand, it is good.
  • I rotate between a few different "greatest hits":

    * quick oats (not instant) made w/ff milk, some combo of toppings (fresh or frozen fruit, sometimes applesauce, walnuts, cinnamon)
    * 2 Kashi GoLean waffles, toasted with pb and sliced banana
    *wg English muffin or wg toast w/pb (or cashew butter) and sliced apple
    * a small can of fruit (in juice) mixed with ff yogurt or ff cottage cheese
    * pancakes from an organic whole grain mix (like Arrowhead Mills or Hodgson Mills buckwheat)
  • I should add that I rarely drink milk during the day, so I heat a cup at night for a "soothing nightime routine". If I have cold cereal at bkfst, I have milk with it. I'm still skeptical about this 1000 mg. recommendation for daily calcium.
  • I love the mini whole wheat bagels with Philadelphia Cream Cheese Jammers spread on them.. very filling and delicious! Sometimes I'll eat a peanut butter sandwich with a little banana sliced on it.
  • I love my oatmeal and an eggwhite omelette breakfast...
  • I am actually a huge fan of breakfast!
    Egg whites are my best friend, but lately i have been eating, well shall I say "drinking my breakfast's... a soy protein shake with frozen strawberries and pineapple in it.. its suprisingly filling!
  • I'm having a protein pancake with peanutbutter on it ... and black coffee!
  • I am eating roast beef and broccoli for breakfast. My co-workers think I am weird, but oh well.
  • I had a fried egg on toast this morning.

    Yesterday I had home-made "granola" (oats, cranberries, chopped hazelnuts & smidge of muscovado) with fat free greek yoghurt.

    Day before that I can't even remember!
  • And today I had steel cut oats with egg whites!
  • i've had left overs. 1/2 cup wild rice, 1/2 white beans, 1/2 corn all mixed together and really filling.
