Generally, I have a 2 oz. Egg Beaters omelet (28 cals) on either a Mission Carb Balance tortilla (80 cals) or a Thomas English Multi-grain wheat Muffin (100 cals). I add a half slice of Hormel Canadian Bacon (35 cals) or 2-3 slices of Turkey Pepperoni (5 cals/slice) and a 1/3-1/2 oz of 2% Kraft Sharp Cheddar Cheese (90 cals per ounce). Total = 162 to 180 calories. Nothing between breakfast and lunch.

@jlippincottWow! That's an awesome suggestion! My dad is the same way, he can't eat eggs and typical breakfast foods because he gets the urge to gag. I will suggest this method of breakfast for him! Thank you for taking the time to share!

I'm not a normal breakfast person, so I like to take a morning star farms chickpea patty or one of their other varieties and saute that with veggies and wrap in a spinach wrap with Siracha. If I just hve cereal Im starving two hours later. Sometimes I will soak muesli in almond milk with some fruit overnight and some chia seeds and that will keep me full. Can do dairy or eggs so I'm a bit limited.

I can't eat the same thing for breakfast every day, I get bored easily. Today I had boiled ripe plantains with black beans and cottage cheese, it's a warm and satisying dish that reminds me of home.

Eggs, bacon. Sometimes, I feel like starch is acceptable! O:)
@carl669 what is bulletproof coffee? Sounds extreme.

@EmersonFitbit for those doing low carb, high fat, it's a good way to get a boost of fat in the morning. basically, it's coffee, coconut oil (or some other MCT oil) and butter blended into a delicious, latte-like concoction. it serves as breakfast and usually gets me all the way to lunch. i don't do it every day anymore though.

Oh, I think I might've heard something like that! @carl669
I recently had a biometric sreening where they took a look at my blood, and it looks like I was low in HDL levels. Maybe increase my fat intake a bit.. The sound of sticking butter in my coffee is pretty counter-intuative, but I might do it!

I love the overnight muesli idea. I have recently adapted the overnight oats into my weekly foods. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks

At the moment, every morning i have my protein shake.
1x Small/Medium Banana
3x Med/Large fresh strawberries
1x Scope of 100% Gold Standard Whey
1x Large handful of Kale
So yummy!

@fitmissjenThat sounds delicious! Especially with the addition of kale! I'm definitely going to try this!

Believe it or not, I have bacon and eggs probably twice a month.
and will enjoy 1 1/2 to 2 slices a week on a sandwich
and I still lowered my cholesterol over 30 points.
On heavy workout days, I sometimes stop at a local cafe' and get a breakfast bowl of scrambled eggs and bacon and bacon. They use really thin small pieces.
I prefer thick bacon. and they cook their eggs in butter. (Watch Fat Head the documentary)
We need some fat in our diet for our health, so completely cutting it out is unhealthy. I learned the hard way on that one. We need fat for the myalin sheeths around our nerve bundles and for our brains.
We just don't need to be eating loads of it every day.

@jlippincottYou're totally right! I always think about the food pyramid that was taught to us all as kids when someone claims to cut a certain type of food out completely. I totally agree that we need healthy fats, in moderation, to live a healthy lifestyle.
Here's that pyramid we learned about as kids!

My breakfast is typically egg whites, homemade pico and a protein like chicken sausage. And of course, coffee with a little International Delight creamer.

JillFiredup - Are you happy with your Nutri-bullet? I've been checking them out and wondering if they are a good purchase. Does it totallly liquify ?

Keep it simple... Protien Whey...frozen mixed friuit, toss a bana, toss a few eggs and I'm done. Black coffee doesn't matter, follow up with a mid morning snack all protien, tuna, chicken, etc
Toss out the ideal of a meal like breakfast, lunch, dinner as I'll eat 6-7 times per day, all lean, all mean, and all ready to burn fat and gain muscle.

Right now I am still adding my recipes to my log. It's time consuming but I rarely eat anything that is already made up. I bake my own bread and rolls, buy organic veggies and fruits, and make my own yogurt. I have always been a grazer, eating something at regular intervals, especially on long work days when I'm logging an insane amount of steps. If I have a few days off, I'm still working on my farm, building, working in my studio with metals, or working with my horse. If it's a slow day, I cut back on calories, but don't stop my food intake, just reduce it.
Today I had 2 pcs. of baked bacon, 2 of my homemade waffles with apples and a tablespoon of maple syrup, 2 cups warm water, and 2 cups (so far) of coffee with a tsp of maple syrup.
