What do you eat for breakfast?
Soy berry protein shake - yum:
- One scoop soy protein isolate (no sugar) (either puritan's pride, or trader joe's soy protein powder - the lecithin mixed in with the soy protein emulsifies and makes it sooo much better)
1 or so cups mixed berries (dark and red berries like blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries)
-1 cup unsweetened soy milk.
-splash vanilla
-few packets of Stevia powder ( Whole Foods house brand of stevia in packets in an orange box. It is pure sweetness, no herby taste. Awesome).
Blend it all together. Makes a big serving.
2 eggs over easy and a slice of either sprouted bread or whole grain toast.
OR
A blue bunny light no sugar added yogurt with 1/4-1/2 cup of kashi go lean cereal and a banana mashed in.
both are 300 calories, both taste yum to me and both take 5 minutes to assemble! I like weight control oatmeal sometimes too, banana bread flavor + blueberries, mmm. i eat the same things everyday, it's just easier for me...
i binge on cereal so i dont keep it at home, it makes me happy to get to work on time because i can have my cereal.
- 1/2 c. fiber one, 1/2 cup special k red berries, 1/2 c. skim milk, piece of light wheat toast w/sprinkled cinnamon, and 2 cups of coffee with a bit of half and half and splenda
- or..1/2 c. oats, 1/2 c. pumpkin, mixed with cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and splenda, piece of fruit or yogurt and 2 cups of coffee
- or..1 egg and extra egg white on 2 slices wheat light toast with 1 or 2 tablespoons salsa, and a piece of fruit or yogurt and my usual coffee
...which I eat running out the door....
1 cup raisin bran /w milk
OR
carnation instant breakfast drink (high protein/fiber chocolate powder mix) /w milk
OR
2 TLC dark cherry chocolate granola bars
On the weekends anything goes, but during the week breakfast has to be simple and quick! Though honestly.. on the weekends I wake up late enough for lunch to be my breakfast, and it often is.
So I'm havin' breakfast at 10:40 AM (sooooooo early...) of bacon, eggs, and an english muffin. Alex made it, otherwise, I wouldn't eat it.
My idea of breakfast is a fat sandwich, some random vegetable, and a tall glass of milk. Rarely do I eat the typical breakfast foods, unless I really got a hankerin' for oatmeal.
on the weekend i sleep in past the time i would have breakfast and sometimes lunch unfortunately. i usually get up at 5 in the morning for work.
Pretty well the same thing every day.
Mixed berries (I buy bags of mixed frozen berries) and a container of yogurt. Mixed together. And a cup of tea.
On TTh and the weekends i like to make a bowl of pumpkin oatmeal, have 10 raw almonds, 2 cups of coffee and water.
I have a couple choices, all usually adding to about 450-550 calories:
Kashi waffles
Any kind of fruit, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, bananas, mangos, pinapple
2 packs less sugar oatmeal
Toast with 35 cal bread and Sugar less smuckers Jam
Eggs florentine pre-made from morning star
Ummm sometimes frosted mini wheats, alot of people have talked about them on here, for me, per serving they seem to be the best deal. And the strawberry, vanilla and cinnamon are ALL amazing.
if i have eggs, its a whole/one white omelette with ham and cheese for about 160 calories.
if la tortilla factory tortillas are in the house, i make a breakfast wrap with ham and cheese for about 170 calories and 5 g of fat.
on the weekends, ill have a peanut butter sandwich with honey (180), or maybe a lean pocket for 220.
with all of that i have a banana or apple, so i get to 300-350.
today im having a chicken burrito dipped in the local chinese joint's house sauce =]
great way to start the day right.
it varies but its usually some type of oatmeal or multi grain mix, with full fat yogurt, milk, hard boiled eggs, fruit, maybe a dash of real maple syrup.
Or whole grain sourdough toast ( best stuff) with fruit, cheese, nut butter, fruit, etc...
i never eat cold cereal anymore, i always have some form of healthy fats ( including omega three's from my fish pills i take) and some good form of saturated fat to balance out the grains.
