Breakfast Ideas??

pixiechic said: "i like to have egg beaters and canadian bacon. 1/2 cup of egg beaters contains 60 calories and is equal to 2 eggs. it has 12 grams of protein and no fat. i scramble them up in a pan using butter flavor cooking spray. if you want, you can add peppers, mushrooms, cheese or other omelet stuff. 4 peices of canadian bacon have about 94 calories, and is a great substitute for sausage and/ or bacon, which have higher fat and calories. it has about 15 grams of protein and about 4 grams of fat."

(any flavor you like) 1/2 Post Alpha-Bits Wholesome Sweetened Oat and Corn Cereal 1/4 cup halved seedless grapes 1/4 cup sliced strawberries Peel banana, split in halt lengthwise. Place in sundae dish or cereal bowl. Top with Yogurt. Sprinkle with cereal and fruit This breakfast has 320 calories, 2 grams of fat and 8 grams of protien"

USEDtobetiny said: "I don't see why you couldn't use different fruits, it may change the calories a bit, but I'm sure if you use the recommended serving amounts that it should only be a little. Besides fresh fruit is better for you than any other breakfast food I can think of! Please post any other breakfast ideas you might have! Thanks!"

kathleen said: "Hello Everyone- I am new to the forum, but have been looking in for a while. I thought this breakfast thread would be a good part for me to jump in. I have lost 100 pounds since I have started my plan and it has been amazing -- most importantly I have kept it off. I use to hate eating breakfast and I would always skip it, which as many of you know, will end up working against you and your weight loss efforts. So what I did was a couple things to eat in the morning. Like many I was not very hungry when I wake up so it was like I was forcing myself to eat early on. But the things I stuck to was oatmeal, smoothies (be careful what you put in obviously) and egg whites as well. Because I was not very hungry, I had to start small and get myself used to eating breakfast. What I did was take 12 eggs and hard boil them in advance, and then put them in the fridge. Then in the morning upon waking, I would go to the fridge and have like 4 egg whites. This gradually got my body programmed to eat, and at the same time egg whites are high in protein, low in sodium and easy and quick. I came to find that as time went I actually found myself hungry in the morning and then I went to things like oatmeal with fruit, egg white omlettes, cereals like shredded wheat, cinnamin frosted wheat , etc(anything that was low in sodium and high in fiber) O often times now also blend up a smoothie as ou can find all inds of things to put in there that are good for you and what you are trying to accomplish -- you literally can create a smoothie to whatever you want it to be. But these are some things I did, and if this can help anyone, then I am glad to help. :)"

Jade_Michaels said: "No soy for me! Read too much bad stuff about it. Didn't Willy Nelson just make fuel for his car out of soybean oil? It's like Saturday Nght Live does anyone remember "Shimmer"... It's a dessert topping no it's a floor wax. I think I rather use soy as car fuel! 10 articles will say it's good for you and the next ten will say it's killing you."

leahsd said: "My fav breakfast is a half cup of Granola with Flax seed (available in health food stores, pre packed, or at my store they have it in the lose bins). Its a very filling granola, with out being high cal. Flax seed provides Omega 3s (good for people who don't like fish). This granola is really popular in our house, my hubby loves to snack on it. I have that with a cup of "enhanced" soy milk (more vitamins, and more omega 3), and a half of banana. This combo is quick and easy (I don't have time to cook in the morning), filling, gives you a dose of "good fat," complex carbs, and protein. Also gives me a potassium burst after my morning exercise routine. The combo will run you about 210 cals, 6 grams fat, 45 grams carb, 8 protein."

krazyglue said: "Wow, Kathleen, 100? You're a trooper. That's amazing, and people like you who work that hard are my inspiration. I hope to do as well. Thanks for that breakfast tip. I know that that scenario is all to familiar. I know that fruits are the best in the morning, but sweet things in the morning aren't really what I like to eat. Maybe if I tried a version of what you did, slowly getting yourself to eat in the mornings, I could get myself to eat fruit. Develope a taste for it in the mornings and all. Welcome. :D"

rockprincessFF said: "The Quaker flavored oatmeals! It comes in flavors like apple cinnamon! It's yummy! :D"

SuperWmn said: "I just wanted to add something regarding the cereal. I eat Special K on a daily basis. As in I have it everyday for breakfast;well almost daily. I am new to breakfast. I have lost 10 pounds in a week. I eat healthy as much as I can. Special K gives me energy for the day and with 1% milk comes out to like 160 calories. I am fine with that because I stay within my daily caloric needs. I occasionaly eat Cheerios as an alternative. I Special K with 1% milk is a good source of protein and carbs. Not all carbs are bad...anyways I don't think I am wrong but I was under the assumption Special K is good for you. Better than not eating breakfast anyways. Besides I cannot eat eggs..."

Henrietta said: "Oatmeal. It's low on calories and very yummy! :)"

Heather said: "That sounds like a pretty good recipe. I'll have to give that a try. I imagine you could probably use just about any fruit that you want? (Like pineapples, melons or blueberries)"

Heather said: "Thanks for those suggestions and Welcome to Featherish! Glad that you decided to join in. V*8 is a pretty good early morning drink. Nothing like drinking vegetables!"

Heather said: "I haven't tried the spicy kind yet. I always put some pepper in the regular kind, though."

Heather said: "An old time favorite. A bowl of Total cereal with sliced bananas, a bit of soy milk, a sprinkle of splenda and a glass of fortified OJ!"

Heather said: "Strawberries are great additions, too."

Elaine said: "I found some English Muffins that are made from whole wheat. They are pretty tasty with some strawberry preserves. I like bananas and oatmeal, too."

Elaine said: "Canadian bacon is one of the best breakfast meats you can have. It is very low in calories and fat, but is still tasty as a replacement for breakfast meats like bacon or sausage."

Cupcake said: "Does anyone have any good breakfast ideas?? I love waking up early and having breakfast with my bf before we go to work and I need some new ideas. Thanks! :p"

Cupcake said: "I LOVE Morningstar Farms Soy "Sausage" Patties. Even if you're not a vegetarian, they're much more healthier than normal sausage patties."

Cupcake said: "mmmm you're making me drool snap pea :p I love soy milk on total!! I'll have to try it with bananas."

cvalh said: "There are plenty of whole-grain, good for you cereals in the regular cereal aisle. You just have to know what to look for. Yes, the nutritional sections have good cereals, but you don't HAVE to buy that stuff to be eating healthy."

UniqueMystique said: "Omelettes are great too....fill them with fresh veggies instead of fatty breakfast meats. I love them with mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers. Yum!"

UniqueMystique said: "Dang! I love the Hot & Spicy V8...haven't had that in a long time. Now I'm gonna have to find me some! :p"

iowamomma2002 said: "what about special K is that good has anyone tried it??"

Razor said: "I do! I drink a EAS AdvantEdge Carb Control shake every morning. They have new coffee house flavors that are awesome. Especially if you like those iced coffee drinks. Also I have always been a fan of cereal. Kashi GoLean is awesome. High in protein and fiber."

Razor said: "[QUOTE=iowamomma2002]what about special K is that good has anyone tried it??[/QUOTE] Special K tastes great, but pretty much anything you find in the regular cereal isle is crap. These cereals are loaded with sugar as well as enriched flour. Both should just be called poison. Of course it's ok in moderation but should not be an everday breakfast choice. An ideal breakfast will consist of a good amount of protein (eggs, cottage cheese, lean meat, or a shake) a moderate amount of carbs (small fruit, WHOLE grain bread, whole grain, small fat free (fruit sweetened) yogurt, etc) and a small amount of UN-FAT (I usually get this by frying my egg up in a tad bit of Canola oil) If you must have cereal then the best choice will be found in the nutritional or whole food section of the grocery store. Check the facts! I eat Kashi GoLean and it taste great and has about 12g of protein and about 11g of fiber."

Razor said: "Hi Cvahl! Hmm maybe you are right and I just never have come across one. Can you name a couple for me? ......."

Razor said: "I did a sampling of what I would think is healthy by looking down the cereal isle and this is what I came up with. Mind you I picked Kelloggs because they are the most well known. I also only sampled the cereals I think would be healthy by looking at the box All-Bran (taste like hell) 80 calories without milk (6g of sugar) Ingredients: Wheat bran, [COLOR=Red][I]sugar[/I]([/COLOR]EEKS second one on the list means it has a lot), [COLOR=Red][I]high fructose corn syrup [/I][/COLOR] (in laymens terms this is some mand made sweet stuff and they use fruit sugar), malt flavoring, calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, salt, sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid (vitamin C), reduced iron, niacinamide, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), riboflavin, (vitamin B2), folic acid, thiamin hydrochloride (vitamin B1), vitamin A palmitate, vitamin B12 and vitamin D. Complete Wheat Flakes ( I have never seen this) 90 calories (5g sugar) Ingredients: Whole wheat, wheat bran, [COLOR=Red][I]sugar[/I], [/COLOR] [COLOR=Red][I]high fructose corn syrup[/I], [/COLOR] salt, malt flavoring, Vitamins and Minerals: Sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid (vitamin C), alpha tocopherol acetate (vitamin E), niacinamide, zinc oxide, reduced iron, calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), riboflavin (vitamin B2), thiamin hydrochloride (vitamin B1), BHT [COLOR=Red][I](preservative), [/I][/COLOR](These things aren't good) vitamin A palmitate, folic acid, [COLOR=Red][I]vitamin B12, and vitamin D. [/I] [/COLOR] ( I am a little confused about these vitamins. I mean the vitamin C above is in parenthisis behind a word that I can't pronounce, but these vitamins are in the whole. If anyone knows about this will you let me know please?) Crunchy Blends Mueslix Whole Grain Cereal-200 calories 17g sugar (some fruit) Ingredients: Whole barley, whole oats, raisins, whole wheat, dates, milled corn, almonds, rice, [COLOR=Red][I]brown sugar[/I], [/COLOR] [COLOR=Red][I]sugar[/I], [/COLOR] [COLOR=Red][I]partially hydrogenated soybean oil[/I], [/COLOR]( EEKS this means Trans Fat) malt flavoring, salt, [COLOR=Red][I]high fructose corn syrup[/I], [/COLOR] [COLOR=Red][I]distilled monoglyceride[/I], [/COLOR] (Um this sounds scary),alpha tocopherol acetate (vitamin E), niacinamide, reduced iron, calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), riboflavin (vitamin B2), thiamin hydrochloride (vitamin B1), vitamin A palmitate, folic acid, [COLOR=Red]BHT (preservative), [/COLOR] vitamin B12 and vitamin D. <---- The nutrition facts on this box says 0 trans fat. Hmm but clearly the ingredients say Hydrongenated Soybean Oil. I wonder how they get away with that. Kashi GoLean all natural cereal-140 calories (6g of sugar) INGREDIENTS: Soy grits, Kashi Seven Whole Grains and Sesame™ (hard red winter wheat, long grain brown rice, whole grain oats, barley, [COLOR=Red][I]triticale[/I], [/COLOR] (good stuff )(rye, buckwheat, sesame seeds), evaporated cane juice syrup, corn meal, corn flour, soy protein, wheat bran, oat fiber, corn bran, honey, evaporated cane juice, natural flavors, calcium carbonate, salt, annatto color. <--- Okay I know a lot of you are saying well this cereal has sugar! Yes it does, but if you look at the ingredients sugar is not listed anywhere. It is naturally occuring sugar and not refined white sugar that is usually added to commercial cereals. Also this cereal is usually not found in the regular cereal isle. If anyone has another cereal that you may know of then post it and we will look it up. Maybe there are some new ones out there because I have not walked through the cereal isle in 2 years :) Also forgive me if some of this formatting does go array. This took forever."

Razor said: "Yes of course eating something is always better than not eating anything. All I said was that most of the cereal on the regular isle is crap. If you lost 10 lbs on Special K then keep eating it. I just said that it was not an ideal breakfast. Tell me this please, what is it about Special K that gives you energy over something else for breakfast? May I ask why you can't eat eggs?"

theirmom said: "I love Breakfast... But I know now I can't eat what I use too (eggs, bacon, ect...) I really love cream of wheat with wheat germ and splenda, fruit, and skim milk...then I east whole wheat toast or english muffin with fruit, if I'm in a hurry also have to have my coffee!! Need my coffee!!!"

cyn said: "I am new here and I had to check out this thread. I know eating breakfast is very important but unfortunately that is one of my "old way of living" habits that is very hard to break. I am trying to eat healthy but it very hard to eat in the morning when I dont feel hungry. I have thought about drinking a health shake instead of trying to eat to get myself on the right foot daily. Does anyone else do this?"
