I need a breakfast that will last!

SO basically, during the summer I'd eat a 100-200 calorie breakfast, then snack on fruits and veggies and rice cakes all day long until dinner [usually--sometimes I'd skip a few snacks and have a salad or soup or something for lunch]. I've tried to adapt this to school days by packing snacks to munch on during class, but it's not exactly working.. teachers are kinda intolerant of that junk this year. so, I'm trying to realllly minimize my need to snack by creating a breakfast that will last from 6am to at LEAST 10am. and since I won't be adding cals by snacking, I'm letting my breakfast add up to 300 calories. I'm just trying to find one that will last! what do you think of these?

1/2 whole wheat pita bread--80
2 tbsp Better'n Peanut Butter--100
1 tbsp reduced sugar Smucker's--25
1/2 banana--55
total: 260

2 slices whole wheat bread--140
3 egg whites [too much?]--51
veggies--15 [or less]
total: 206

um yeah. that's pretty much all I've got now. haha.. but you get the idea about the fiber and protein content. any ideas?      &nb sp;               &nb sp;               &nb sp;       

I'm doing a cup of fiber one = 120 cals, a banana = 100 cals, coffee with milk = 100 cals.

Just eat an oversized bowl of cereal with some fruit on top. Grape nuts are really good for keeping you full.

Oatmeal!

I'm not a breakfast eater, generally....but I have found that when I eat oatmeal with banana slices on it, I am STUFFED til way after noon!!!!!! 

2 scrambled eggs 203 cals, cooked with a slice of kraft american fatfree cheese 25cals and a whole medium tomato (26 cals raw), 1 rice cake 28 cals. I take a xinecal with my breakfast.

Its too much i know  but i don't eat lunch i just have a snack of half a cup all bran cereal 50cals and a fresh plum.   

Dunno if this helps but a study found that a low fat protein breakfast was more filling than any other - so yoghurt/eggs might be best.

Oatmeal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I generally do low fat yoghurt with some wholewheat breakfast cereal and a portion of fresh fruit which keeps me going quite nicely.  In the winter I switch to porridge (that's oatmeal to you guys, right?) and mix in some fruit puree to sweeten it up, possibly a banana too.

My fav breakfast is vanilla yogurt mixed with a sliced banana (good energy booster, but any fruit would work) and Kashi Go Lean Crunch Honey Almond Flax. Lotsa protein & fiber, so it keeps me satisfied. And its really yummy!

I LOVE your PB, jelly, and banana pita idea.  I eat that for breakfast every single morning, along with a bowl of cereal (I'm maintaining.)  It's delicious and high-protein, and will keep you going.  I highly recommend it.

Have you ever tried Carnation Instant Breakfasts?  It's just a powdered drink that you mix with 1 cup of skim milk.  It comes in great flavors like vanilla, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and strawberry.  I know that it doesn't sound like much, but it definitely keeps me full until lunch.  I swear by it!  You can find it in the breakfast food aisle (with the cereal and oatmeal) of your grocery store.  You can even go to www.carnationinstantbreakfast.com and they give you receipe ideas for all kinds of different smoothies with healthy mix-ins.  Good luck!

I like the weight control oatmeal by quacker bannana bread

yeah I do scrambeled egg whites (2), and either half a slice of bagel with low fat cream cheese, or a whole wheat waffle. yum! fills me up for a long time! protein and fiber!

I like old fashioned oatmeal not the quick cooking type and cook it for just a minute so it's still nice and chewy, slice a banana on it and sprinkle a tbsp ground flax seeds (omega-3 fats) and cinnamon.  That's it! 

I "discovered" Nature's Path "Slim" cereal at Whole Foods Market, Publix also usually carries it. It is 180 cal/cup with lots of protein and fiber...with a cup of skim milk it comes in under 300 cal and will stick with you a good 4 hours.

I buy Trader Joe's Organic High Fiber O's cereal. A serving size is 1 1/4 cups (most cereal the serving size is 3/4 cup). Just one serving has 10g of fiber and 7g of protein. I use skim milk (1/2 cup) and slice a banana on top of it. I usually eat breakfast at 8am and have lunch anytime between noon and 1 pm. I have only 1200 calories a day and this breakfast leaves me plenty of calories for lunch, dinner, and snacks.

Steel cut oatmeal-it tastes so much better then instant, and it is really filling. I make a large batch on the weekend in a pressure cooker and we eat it all week. add some fruit, and you have a really filling extremely healthy and mighty tasty breakfast.

Kashi Go Lean Crunch-that stuff will make you full forever-I swear by it!

a big heaping bowl of plain oatmeal & a sliced banana.
yummm :)
keeps hunger away for at least 3 hrs.

I like having a breakfast burrito... I use 1 whole egg, and one egg white, mixed with about 1/8c milk, and then scramble it with some diced veggies, then I spread 1 wedge of laughing cow cheese on a "flat out" low cal wrap an wrap the food in there, this keeps me super full until lunch (so i don't snack), and I am pretty sure the cals are around 300-350.
