During the week I usually eat weight control instant oatmeal unless I am pressed for time then I eat a Pria complete bar. On the weekends I make breakfast for the family but eat an egg, turkey bacon and whole wheat toast. No matter what I never ever skip 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...

1/2 C instant oatmeal with cinnamon and splenda and maybe some berries, 4 egg whites, and a protein shake after my workout.  Yum yum!  I LOVE breakfast!  And yes, it's usually different on the weekends.  I mix it alllll together and make a protein pancake!  Or sometimes I'll have some hot grape nuts, yum yum!

i am able to eat breakfest at work.at 8..if i keep it simple,  i eat 1cup corn flakes with a tsp of flax seed and cinnamon on top. a little soymilk and i make a huge jug of herbal tea and then i have fruit and yogurt at 10:15 break.

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.
I eat the same thing during the weekdays and weekends, unless I sleep in too late on the weekends, in that case I just have lunch.  Otherwise I enjoy my fiber one cereal.
Now that I'm back in school and I have early classes, I'll generally eat most of my breakfast in class during the week.  I'll usually have a bowl of bran flakes at home before I leave, and then a Luna bar or granola bar in class.  Maybe some trail mix as well.  On the weekends I'll usually make myself something a little more time-consuming, since I'm not able to do so during the week.  I like to make a fried egg on toast, or some oatmeal with various things added in, or a grilled PB2 and banana sandwich (aka heaven.)
For me I either have

  • 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
healthy life wheat bread (70 cals for 2 slices), toasted + 1.5 tbsp Skippy natural peanut butter and sugar free strawberry jam

...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.

My "breakfast" is usually around noon or 1 PM, but since it snowed last night, Alex woke me up early to go outside and play before he went to work.

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.
during the week i eat oatmeal, fruit and a bit of nut butter.
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.
I eat 2 low fat waffles with natural p.butter almost every day during the week. On the weekends I eat turkey bacon or turkey sausage with eggs or toast.
On week days I'm unwilling to get out of bed early enough to make or eat breakfast so I just grab a kashi granola bar and a glass of milk.  Sometimes I make a slimfast + milk+ frozen strawberry smoothie.  On Saturdays I cook something like French toast or an omelet.  Sunday is coffee and whatever cookies, muffins, or bagels happen to be at church.

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.

MWF I eat 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese with 1/4 cup pumpkin and 1/3 cup fiber one mixed together with splenda and cinnamon. Then I normally eat 10 raw almonds while drinking a glass of water. Have a cup of coffee too. Then take a bottle of water to school with me.

On TTh and the weekends i like to make a bowl of pumpkin oatmeal, have 10 raw almonds, 2 cups of coffee and water.

Depends, I switch it up all week long so I don't get sick of things.  My favorite though is this: 100 calorie Mini Bagel, 1/4 cup egg whites (microwaved in a flat round container), slice of 2% american cheese, a few thin slices of avaocado and a tablespoon of salsa.  I think it is only around 260 calories and it keeps me satisfied until lunch.  If I work out before lunch then i just have an apple right before working out.

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. 

i usually have oatmeal with aspartame sweetener, skippy natural  and half a cup of milk (240).
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.
first of all, i usually have 500-600 calories at breakfast, which is roughly 20 to 25 percent of my energy for the day. my body is used to having this much energy every morning, im starving and my metabolism is sluggish if i dont, i dont get it either.

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.
