Breakfast
 

I am struggling to find things to eat for breakfast which i actually like to eat, at the moment I eat 30g of bran flakes but i hate them as i cant have milk on them and so all cereal are boring to me really anyway im wondering what you guys have for breakfast to give me some ideas?

what diet plan are you following?

My typical breakfasts are:
eggs
cereal (many different kinds) with soy milk
oatmeal

I mix up my breakfasts between the following:

eggs (2 hard boiled or scrambled)
whole wheat english muffin w/ peanut butter
low fat vanilla yogurt with berries
1% cottage cheese with berries
steel cut oats w/ a drizzle of honey and sliced bananas
1 egg on whole wheat toast w/ sliced tomato & onion
protein shake w/ berries and vanilla protein power OR chocolate protein powder & bananas

Hopefully those will give you some ideas that will fit into your diet. :)

small bowl of all bran with sainsbury unsweeted soya milk

My favourite is plain porridge with 1/2 a banana. It keeps me satisfied longer than anything else. But, if you're not doing dairy try it with soy, rice, or almond milk.

rice milk is very sweet. just out of warning to you, rice dream was awful like some sort of milky lemonade

What about good ol' Cornflakes or Cheerio's :) even wholewheat toast with jam or marmalade is nice :) with a small glass of oj or skimmed milk.

I usually have some kind of cereal (the less sweeet the better and pref fibre stuff) with soya milk (unsweetend), or something on toast like a poached egg or fried light one, or if I get up later a boiled one or tomatoes on toast or peanut butter on toast or marmite.

Occasionally go for porridge.

Off to grab some toast now.

chicken breakfast sausage with a piece of fruit... protein, fiber, and complex carbs. And chicken sausage only has like 80 calories per link, so I can have 3 sausages and an apple and stay within my calories.

Atkins Day Break Bar - Cappuccino Nut, I don't suppose that they are all that good for me but they are low cal, low carb and give me something to look forward to, I just couldn't eat branflakes first thing in the morning, I find it hard enough to get out of bed without having to do that to myself as well.

The last time I went shopping they were half price in Tesco so now I have a cupboard gowning with 'em.

Breakfast
 

Hello there Cat90!

I don't think I even noticed when I posted under you, that you were one of the old crew. I have only just been able to post again as now sitting on my @rse as redundant. Looking around for secretarial jobs but at the moment they can ask for the moon and the stars. They all want degrees, A levels and better IT skills than I have.

Wonder what qualifications I would need to flip a burger???!!

satisfying breakfast
 

Usually the things that make me the most full, and are actually apart of the 'good healthy' food groups are:

egg whites on wheat toast (really quick and easy with a microwave)

or

1/2 grilled chicken and some oatmeal which you can add splenda or trivia to sweeten it up.

my breakfast would be
either:
- 1 slide of bread, 1 egg, 1 milk bag (milk bag is 180ml - 165 calories)
or
- 1 apple, 1 yogurt (or any other fruits and yogurt)

pretty much that's that. I don't change my menu very often since they suit my taste :D and doesn't take much time to prepare as well. Sometimes in the weekend I have a big breakfast but then it's a different story ^^

I'm really bad at breakfast, if i have it at all, i might have piece of fruit or a toasted hot cross bun. Unless my dad is feeling generous and does me a lovely fry-up. Baked beans on toast is also a good one.

I'm hopeless at breakfast.

Don't know why as I love my porridge and all its variations!

It is my first NY target: eat breakfast every day!

Porridge with water or orange juice if you don't do milk, plus one or tow of these:

honey
cinnamon
half an apple, chopped
raisins
banana (not my favourite, tbh)
nuts/seeds
almost anything else I have to hand!

Add a yog/piece of fruit/round of toast and I'm done, hopefully!

Hi Peacock :wave: sorry to hear about the job situation :( hope things improve in the New Year ;) know what you mean though its the same over here :nono: the jobs i've had to take just to earn a crust :rolleyes: and I can do so much more.

I've recently stopped having brekky during the work week because i've found that it makes me eat more during the day :eek: my stomach is grumbling a couple of hours later. Now I take something with me and have it about 10.30 with a cuppa :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE :xcheer:

I find oats keep me fuller then any other type of cereal and my favourite breakfast is natural yoghurt, raw oats and a chopped apple. Takes a week or so to get used to it (I used to hate natural yoghurt) but now I really look forward to it,

I'm in the same boat - I really struggle to know what to eat for breakfast. Ths mornng I had a small bowl of yoghurt with half a banana and a cup of tea. I often eat some fruit like apples and satsumas. And I do like the porridge idea but I would have to make it up with water and not add any sugar or syrup so I don't think I would enjoy it much.

I try to eat breakfast every day but I'm really not a morning person so sometimes it has to wait until I'm at work, in which case I just have fruit as they provide it free for us. Otherwise some of my usual breakfasts are toast (usually just with margarine but sometimes with peanut butter or marmite), porridge (I make that with water and add low cal sweetener - tastes a bit like sweet wallpaper paste but it's filling :lol:), low-fat granola with a fat free yogurt and a handful of berries or just fruit and a yogurt if I'm in a rush.
