i eat breakfast at about 6:30 am, and don't eat lunch until about 11:30 am. i know it's a big gap but there's really nothing i can do about it.

do you guys know of any REALLY filling breakfasts that could full be up for this long without killing my calorie count for the day?

1/2 cup quick oats with 1/4 cup fiber one keeps me full FOREVER.

Try eating an apple as a snack.  It is only 65 calories.

I posted this in two other threads, but this is probably the ultimate low calorie breakfast to stay full for a long time:

2 servings of Fiber One Original (60g), 1 serving of Kashi GoLEAN Original (52g), 1 cup of skim milk.

You will be getting 38g of fiber, and 26g of protein in one bowl for 350 calories.

unless you're eating an EXTREMELY tiny apple, it's gonna have more that that.

I like to eat toast, one slice with cooked egg whites and jelly and the other with cinnamon, splenda and 2 tbsp. ff cottage cheese. I also drink about 2-3 cups coffee which helps fill me up. Then I make sure to drink water also the rest of the day. Oats is another good suggestion but I never have time on school days to make and enjoy it.

thanks guys!

and lol i LOVE big apples. (:

oatmeal with peanut butter imo.

 

personally it makes me like hella full.

even more filling if you eat other stuff with it, especially yogurt,

or something else with a decent amount of protein or fiber.

i JUST got home from being away all weekend so we have like NO food until we grocery shop tomorrow night, so the best thing i can think of is oatmeal (made with almond milk) and blueberries mixed in.. and possibly some pumpkinseed butter, if i feel like it.

thanks guysss.

 Just to note:  my current oatmeal obsession (I could LIVE off of oatmeal, and have made basically every combination imaginable lol) is oatmeal made with almond milk, and mixed berries (blueberries/raspberries/marionberries..we have a big huge frozen bag of them at the moment, hehe).  It is soooo good!  The almond milk combined with the berries is amazing.  Don't forget to add some cinnamon!  I usually end up eating like 1/4 cup of fiber one with it/afterwards.  For some reason, oatmeal doesn't fill me up like everyone claims, but with just a little fiber one, it's perfect.  :)

rmgarcia: how much cinnamon do you add and do you add stevia or any other sweeteners as well? this morning i had oatmeal made with almond milk and a fieldberry mix thrown in (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries) and nothing else (i forgot about the cinnamon) and found it a little bland. :\

 So, this is how I do it:  Measure out 1/2 cup dry oats into a bowl.  Measure out 1/2 cup frozen berries (or more, if that's what I decide I want, hehehehe) and stick those on top of the oatmeal.  Measure out my almond milk/water/mix/whatever and pour it all over the mess.  Microwave for 2 minutes.  Take it out, shake one heck of a lot of cinnamon on it (I LOVEEEE cinnamon.  I don't measure it, I just keep shaking until it's sufficiantly think... It's probably like, at least a full teaspoon and a half?!).  Mix it up with a spoon, to get everything nicely covered/mixed/etc.  Microwave for another 2+ minutes (you gotta watch, here.. it gets all bubbly and stuff, but I like mine to be suuuuper cooked and as dry as possible).

Sometimes I put splenda in it, but it depends on what I put in it.  Personally, I also go through phases of trying to cut back on sweeteners/etc, so lately I haven't been adding splenda in with that particular mix, but if I add bananas, for example, I add one heck of a lot of splenda!  The berries sort of sweeten it up enough for me to get by without it although sometimes I do oadd it.  When I do add splenda, I add a lot.  I have a huuuuge sweet tooth, it's sort of ridiculous.  I add maye... 2-3 teaspoons of splenda?  And I add it in at the same time as the cinnamon.

Hope that helps!

I had to take ap exams this year, and they are like 4 hours long! So I had to get a really good filling breakfast.

I had one pack of cinnamon instant oatmeal mith a teaspoon of peanut butter and half a banana cut up in it. It was soo yummy. I love it!

Oatmeal.  *Does it sound gross?* Put brown sugar on it.

I eat 6:30 1/2 cup dry quaker/store brand oatmeal, brown sugar & () crystal light grapefruit juice - - - super low cal & I don not get hungry until about 11 AM when I am taking my 6th graders to lunch!

Grape nuts, very filling. 

egg whites!

get 1 large egg and take the whites, it's under 20cals so you can then add toast to that and you're pretty much having a toastie breakfast which is really filling and so low cal.

maybe beans on toast. you can get little cans of beans so you don't go over100 cals then a slice of wholemeal toast will be less than 200 cals.

maybe have the egg whites with this too? it'll all me under 300 cals still!

Basically anything that has a good source of protein, fiber, fat, and carbs.  Fiber and carbs are filling but fat and protein are more sustaining. 

2-3 Egg white omlette: cup of veggies (mushrooms, peppers, spinach), 1oz of cheese and 1/2 a whole grain english muffin with light cream cheese or peanut butter.

Where do you get almond milk? it sounds great.

I find it hard to stay full unless I eat something about ever 2 hours.  I'm not talking about a full-blown meal. We have a lot of folks who take a smoke break. I have an apple or banana or cheese stick break!

Back the oatmeal thing:

I like to make my oatmeal on the stovetop.  I boil the water and add 2 tsp of ghee and 1/4 cup of currants to it (the dried currants get nice and fluffy, the ghee gives a nice buttery flavor, but isn't as bad as butter).  After its cooked, I'll either add cardamom (a great spice with a bit of a sweet flavor) or cinnamon to it.  And skim milk. Yum yum yum.

My suggestion on sweeteners?  Stay away from Splenda--the chlorine that's used in its production is so strong, they have to shut down the steel vats that its made in every so often.  IMO, if something can eat thru steel, its not coming in my body.
  A good substitute is Agave Nectar--like honey, but not as viscous and super-sticky sweet.  Should be able to get at a health food store...

Good luck!

defrog3: i'd do it on the stove but i have limted time in the mornings. :(
