I need some suggestions for healthy, quick breakfast foods. I have noticed that protein of some type at breakfast enables me to last to lunch without feeling hungry. NO involved with breakfast, and I am ravenous by 10:30 am.

BY the way, I hate the Power Bar thingee's, they taste like chalk to me.

Thanks for any suggestions.

do a search on threads where title contains breakfast and you'll find a bucnh of threads..

I like Cliff bars 250 cals or toast with natural peanut butter. Fast and easy.

A piece of whole wheat toast, 3/4 cup egg substitute and a few pieces of turkey bacon. Breakfast in less time than it'd take to make a microwaveable lunch.

I cook up some Egg Beaters (25 calories per egg equivalent, 5-6g Protein) and 1 slice of toast.... I usually mix in about the equivalent of 4-5 eggs (100-125 calories, 20-25g Protein) and some black pepper.

All in all it works out to be roughly 250 calories and it's delicious. You could always microwave them too if you're in a rush.

If it's a Friday or Saturday and I know I'm going to be eating more at night, my breakfast is half a bagel or 1 slice of whole grain toast with a tablespoon of peanut butter and a glass of 1% milk. This lasts me about 2-3 hours, right when I'm about to chow down on lunch. The rest of the week when I know I'm going to be doing HIIT in the afternoon, I up it to 1 whole bagel or 2 slices of toast with peanut butter and a glass of milk. You may get tired of it after a while, so sometimes I substitute the peanut butter with light cream cheese and a few slices of smoked turkey breast.

a piece of tortilla, one egg (farm raised) and a wienie.

put tortilla on plate, scramble egg on tortilla, and put wienie. Microwave for 1 min. lasts me the whole morning. Well i do sit behind a desk most of the day

cheap and easy add some vegie's if you want too. wrap it up to go

you can put something in a crock pot and heat overnight.

*yogurt or cottage cheese with some fruit
*oatmeal with fruit (make the oatmeal in the microwave to save time)
*whole wheat toast with natural peanut butter (if you REALLY don't have time, don't toast the bread)
*hard boiled eggs with fruit (you can make the eggs ahead of time)

Recently I've been having a bowl of cereal (1 serving) with half a cup of skim milk, and a plain english muffin with peanut butter and honey on it. It keeps me full until lunch time.

I love yogurt and low fat milk as breakfast! Yummy and healthy!

Just my two cents.

Oatmeal
Banana
Water

That does it for me for 2 hours. Personally, I eat every 2 hours, to keep my metabolism up.

Thats not very substantial. I'd get hungry almost immediatly after that.

I have 1 Cup of Oats, and heat them on the stove with 2 cups of water. I add a banana, brown sugar, sliced apple, raisins, nuts, anything really, sometimes protein powder.
It's a big meal but breakfast SHOULD be big.

You can never go wrong with a bowl of whole grain oatmeal.

Mine is a bit different than the "standard" breakfasts I see around this forum.

Right now my breakfast consists of miso soup with tofu and wakame (seaweed) , one packet of instant oatmeal made with with soymilk and half a grapefruit. I eat at ~6:30 and I don't get hungry until ~11 or so, depending on the day.


I love the miso. It is a traditional breakfast, and very filling, even without adding the tofu or wakame, but the tofu adds more solid substance and extra protein. I think a lot of people under eat at breakfast, or eat to many carbohydrates with too little or no protein/fat at all. Cereal leaves me ravenous in ~30 min, even if I eat half the box. I drink soymilk because I don't like the taste of real milk, not because of any magical nutrious properties soy has. As for grapefruit, I will probably change that to a different fruit, like oranges, even though I really like it, because it interacts with the birth control pills I'm taking.
