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.

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.

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.

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???!!

Default 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 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!
