The Breakfast club

[binny]

Ok so we all know how important breakfast is, especially during weight loss. I have to admit I hate breakfast! I love breakfast foods but not at breakfast time. I have skipped breakfast for years and I know that has been a contributing factor to my weight gain.

So my goal is to eat! Breakfast that is.


Are you in the same boat? Do you have ideas for breakfast taht you would like to share? Please post them here


Todays breakfast was a container of lowfat yogurt with 1 cup of frozen mixed berries topped with 1/4 cup of grape nuts. It was SO good!! I just have to remember to keep those things on hand.

So what did you have for breakfast today?

Thanks

I have prunes when I get up in the morning so that I can take my pills. When I get to work I have a banana, fiber one bar and my tea.

I have eaten cereal or eggs but this lasts for 3 1/2 to 4 hours when I get my first break.

Binny, I am not a breakfast lover eater (unless it is at dinner time). But in the last months I have been making it a point to eat a decent breakfast. My favorite is an Egg Beaters omlet with a wedge of Laughing Cow cheese and Hillshire Farms ham. I also use the WW shake and a piece of fruit. I also have discovered that I like the Special K cereal with the berries with 1% milk, however, I find the cereal doesn't stay with me as long as the other choices do.

I now do cereal, with yogurt or fruit when I get to school. I used to eat the South Beach diet cereal bars, but i've started to notice they give me headaches, so i'm toning down on them.

I do Raisin Bran. It keeps things moving along. I wish I could do a healthier cereal, but I was raised on sugary cereals and without the sweet, it's too bland.

I do smoothies...I put in one container of my favorite brand of yogurt that has no added sweeteners except fruit juice, an equal amount of unsweetened soymilk, lots of frozen fruit, 2 T of ground flax seed, and about 1-2 T of natural peanut butter, depending on my activity level that morning. Sometimes I add 1 T flaxseed oil or olive oil (I know...it sounds gross, but it really just makes it more creamy and you don't really taste the oil) if I want to up the calories. Sometimes, when I need to have something sweet, I use chocolate soy milk and I had found this carob added to natural peanutbutter that made it seem like I was drinking a chocolate shake for breakfast. Yum.

I am normally not a big breakfast eater either, but I find that if I start breaking into breakfast with my smoothies that I can do other more solid food on different days to break up the routine.

If I have time, I have an egg white omelete, a cup of oatmeal, and either an apple or grapefruit. If I'm in a hurry, which I usually am, I have a protein shake instead of the omelette.
