Simple Non-Sugary breakfasts?


Quote  |  Reply

A lot of breakfasts are sugary (ex: fruit oatmeal, cereal, frozen pancakes/waffles, jam sandwich, etc) and I find that a trigger/start to my day, cause I always end up with horrible sugar/binge cravings.
Especially cereal!! It doesn't keep me full for very long at all and gives me binging sensations right after I eat it.... and an hour/two later!

I think I might try staying away from sweet breakfasts (although how I love them!) for a while and see if it makes a difference.

The thing is I'm usually quite pressed for time, so I don't like to pull out a pan/skillet and make something like eggs. (and I dont like eggs that much anyways)

The only things I can think of that are super quick and are as convenient as cereal is bread..... with cream cheese, or processed cheese, or a cold cut sandwich, etc.
However I usually have sandwiches for lunch as well....

I do really like cottage cheese.... but not sure what to do with it. I could eat it plain.... but only cottage cheese for bfast sounds kinda... lacking balance?

Any ideas for a student in a rush??

I eat an egg sandwich that is under 200 cals almost everyday for breakfast! It really fills me up and it is so yummy!

I use my scale so sorry for not having the exact measuring cup measurements.

about 60 grams (1/4 cup) of egg starts/ egg beaters      &n bsp;  (30 cals)

about 20 grams ( maybe an ounce?) nonfat milk        ;       &n bsp; (about 8 cals)

about 12 grams (maybe 1/8th a cup) mozzarella cheese    (about 35 cals)

salsa (2 cals)

green chilis (15 cals or less)

2 slices of sara lee honey whole wheat 45 cal bread (90 cals)

 

Just mix the milk and eggs... toss it in the microwave for about a minute and a half, add in cheese salsa and green chilis, stir it up. toast the bread and slap the rest of the ingredients on! It is yummy! Sometimes I add real bacon bits and it adds about 30 cals not bad!

Takes under 5 minutes to make!

I make batches of brown rice in my rice cooker every three or four days and then refrigerate it.  A half a cup of brown rice warmed in the microwave with a half cup of light soy milk is delicious and filling, especially if you throw in a handful of fresh or frozen berries.

I had 4/5 cup of fiber one original flavor, 1 cup non-fat milk, and 10 raspberries.

Came out to around 190 calories. In around 3 hours I'm going to have 1 cup of cottage cheese, plain, for 200 calories.

That's around 400 calories before lunch, which will be around 350 calories, then snack (150 or so), then whatever's left in my daily allowance for dinner.

I find that I like to eat cottage cheese or a protein shake in the morning most often. Cereals rarely fill me up, but fiber one seems to do the job.
