I love the FF Cottage cheese and tomatoes, too- sometimes I also add little green onions and chopped cucumbers or bell peppers. Delish! Very filling, too, esp. with a couple of Wasa crackers or melba toast.
I often do a quickie "mcmuffin" with 100 cal english muffin, 2 scrambled egg whites, a slice of ff cheese, a thin slice of canadian bacon, and a slice of tomato for 200 cal, then a light yogurt or a piece of fruit to go with.
Sometimes I do frozen waffles and sugar free syrup (200 cal worth- varies by brand) with some frozen turkey sausages (100 cal worth of those- varies by brand).
I've also been known to go after those fiber-one pop-tarts every great once in a while. Thye're between 180-200 cal/each and one of those, a coffee and a yogurt or piece of fruit is pretty tasty and feels like you're not on a diet (though I wouldn't do it every day, of course, and it's certainly not as filling as the other breakfasts).
I'm one of the folks who tends to skip breakfasts. I'm not normally awake enough in the morning to eat them or the thought of a lot of food makes me feel slightly ill, though if I'm hungry I'll generally make the effort.
If I do have breakfast it tends to be simple - yellow box Cheerios, with semi-skimmed milk. I'm running drastically low on Cheerios though, and as I'm not back in the States until November, I'm rationing them until I can stock up again!
I love breakfast foods though, just generally not that early in the morning, so I will have pancakes for lunch or dinner every so often as a nice treat.
a cup of cold diet coke... Or a cup of ice coffee... Or water... Or some other cold drink. Don't really eat breakfast. But I have to have my cold drink....
I'm usually split my breakfast into two meals - one quick one to get me out the door in the morning, and then something for a late morning snack that is more filling.
This morning was a Slimfast at 7:00, and I'm about to go into the breakroom and throw together some Kashi Go Lean with a Dannon raspberry yogurt (this is one of my favorite combos. It gives me a ton of energy and is a great hold-over until my late lunch).
I don't always eat breakfast but when I do I keep it until 300 cals.
I'll have some sort of fiber bar + milk, an egg mcmuffin, or like 1/2 a bagel and cream cheese.
Since I cant eat most breakfast foods my breakfast is usually a saute of whatever veggies I have fresh (In the winter I usually stock up on spinach, onion and peppers, in august there is zucchini in every breakfast) with ~4 oz of leftover meat and depending on the state of my workouts maybe some sweet potato or winter squash for carbs.
Today my breakfast was onion, jalepeno, tomato, acorn squash and turkey meatballs (from the freezer because I am OUT of protein! )
Time to grill up some steaks. There is something about steak for breakfast that makes me not miss eggs at all.
Usually 1/2 a high fiber pita or one slice of high fiber bread/tortilla, etc (50cals)
1 egg white (17 cals)
1/2 oz of goat (50 cals) or neufchatel (40cals) cheese
Handful of baby spinach (5 cals)
20oz coffee (10 cals)
This is kind of a cross-post from the new food finds section but I thought it also fit in here. I got a product last week in the store called "chicken bacon" (like turkey bacon but made with chicken). It's 25 cal/slice. I grilled some up on my George Foreman this morning and was really pleasantly surprised. I'm not a big fan of turkey bacon, so I was really trying this more out of curiosity than anything else, but the taste and texture were MUCH more like pork bacon (to me) than turkey bacon is. I think it would be even more convincing in a sandwich or crumbled in a salad. Still, it was quite good, not nearly so fake tasting as I find turkey bacon to be. I would get it again for sure, and highly recommend to anyone looking for turkey bacon alternatives!!
I either drink a GNC protein drink 170 calories and 25 grams of protein and a liv-active cottage cheese cup OR 2 egg whites, with 1/3 cup of turkey sausage crumbles and a flat out wrap. I will have a piece of fruit for a snack before lunch.
i am taking vitamins that need for you to eat when you take them, so i've been eating breakfast every day. i'm boring, though and my breakfast is usually a bowl of cereal with almond milk. i eat whatever cereal is on sale-- right now its cocoa krispies.
