Describe your "typical" breakfast (what do you eat before lunch)

[NY2TX]

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.

Egg,tomatoes and sliced boiled ham mixed together and put in little ramekins then in the oven for 20 mins they come out like muffins great with tin tomatoes , can't be that many calories in them

[stratosphere]

One bowl of sultana bran or 2 weet bix (with low fat lactose free milk for both), followed by two pieces of white toast with peanut butter, and then a bowl of low fat vanilla yoghurt if I have time.

About half the time I have a Jimmy Dean sandwich with egg whites and turkey sausage (260 cal).  The rest of the time I eat oatmeal or Quaker Warm & Crunchy granola (apple pecan is my favorite).

[Megan459]

Thomas Cinnamon Raisin English muffin with peanut butter and coffee with almond milk is my go-to. Around 250 calories.

On weekends- I make clean protein-infused blueberry muffins I found though Tone It Up-they are made with all healthy ingredients. I also make Protein pancakes from Tone It Up-topped with fresh berries.

By the time you eat breakfast, you've deprived your body of calories for as long as 12 hours, depending on when you ate your last meal and how long you slept. This means that your brain, which must have glucose to work, lacks energy, and your metabolism desperately needs fuel to kick-start it into action. In short, the calories you eat for breakfast have a big job to do, so it’s important to consume a sufficient amount. This is why breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

I love Oatmeal with peanut butter, milk, brown sugar, and a lot of cinnamon.

[artinfabric]

I eat oatmeal every morning. I never use sugar. Sometimes add berries, dried fruit or peanut butter.

First post! I love breakfast more than anything, so this is fitting 🙂

Growing up, I literally would only eat leftovers from dinner the night before because I had such a strong aversion to soggy cereal, waffles, etc.  While my habits have greatly changed (though, admittedly, I still have a stomach of steel and think that Thai for breakfast sounds pretty tasty), I have finally found a breakfast that I look forward to AND fuels me for my active lifestyle: egg white overnight oats.

I cook gluten free oatmeal (one serving) in almond milk, and a cup of egg whites on the side.  I scramble the whites and add them directly to the oatmeal with cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a bit of sweetener (stevia).  Then, I stick the mixture in the fridge, letting it cool overnight.  In the morning, I'll add nut butter, berries, and even an egg for extra staying power.  It's a caloric breakfast but a perfect mix of healthy carbs and fats as well as protein.

I know it sounds a little strange, but I highly recommend trying it!

Love oats! Just wrote about my favorite way to enjoy them in the morning 🙂

[Poppin]

Green smoothie: 2 cups of spinach, 1 cup of frozen blueberries, 1 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1 banana, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract = 260 cal.

On workout days I add a scoop of vanilla protein powder (Met Rx, 100 cal) and 1-2 tbsp cold water.

I have been addicted to making overnight oats (the night before) for Breakfast! 

They are so delicious and easy to make. Another bonus is that when you wake up in the morning it is all ready to eat, great for people on-the-go. Sometimes I can not eat all of my overnight oats, so I save it for morning or afternoon tea!

Two years after starting with my Flex, I am now struggling to maintain my weight. I lost over 80 pounds in the first 12 months and maintained it since. I <STILL> portion control and log everything that I eat in the FitBit food log program. I also adopted a heavy exercise/training routine of power walking 40-50 miles a week, so I burn a huge amount of calories. So far in 2016, I have walked slight over 600 miles following 1500 miles in 2015.

So since writng the post about egg beaters etc., I now eat in series. I start with a bowl of whole milk yogurt (or plain greek) with about an ounce of plain granola and a box of sun maid raisins. I usually follw this with a small omelet with an egg, a piece of cheese and either 2 slices of bacon, a slice of canadian bacon or turkey sausage curmbles. For a number of reasons, I've also recently added a carbohydrate supplement (41 grams of carbs and 20 grams of protein).

I find that if I do not eat 3000 calories a day and more than 300 grams of carbs, I will lose weight day-to-day. I also drink about 30 ounces of water in the morning, and probably 70+ ounces of water a day; in the summer months, that goes to about 120 ounces a day.

"IT" can be done. It takes alot of discipline, self control and habit change. Keep moving. And remember, you're doig "it" for yourself, and no one else (well, maybe for your kids and grandchildren too).

Good Morning from California. This is my first post and I just had my bowl of Special K cereal with some banana. It is my usual breakfast. I also enjoy oatmeal with a little almond milk and fruit. Like apples that I cook in the microwave with cinammon for a minute or so. Egg white omelettes with lots of veggies are another favorite but I usually only make them on the weekend. Oh and a cup of low fat cottage cheese with sliced banana and honey drizzled on top is also very good.

[maaron32]

I have an Herbalife shake for breakfast! Usually Strawberry banana, chocolate, blueberry muffin, or cinnabon! So good..............everything I need and nothing I dont!!

[aerodog]

Steel cut oatmeal almost daily ( choloestrol way down ) but to keep it from getting boring, add 1/2 banana, and 1/4 avacado, Chia seeds and Hemp seed a little walnuts, and final hemp milk.  no dairy, no salt, no sugar and absolutelyl fantastic tasting.  Oh, nothing instant here, just let the steel cut oats soak overnight in the water. Heats up in 10 mins ready to go. Good energy and keep me full till lunch.
