Breakfast ideas

ok, i MUST start my day with coffee. then i have to wait 30 minutes to eat. hate oatmeal, hate cottage cheese. (gee wonder how i got fat) what are you guys eating for breakfast? i've been bringing laughing cow cheese or protein bars to work to eat around 9am. i have been advised that too many protein bars can be bad so i am looking for alternatives. thanks! judi

I must have coffee too. First and foremost. Then its usually cheese, a slice of meat from the night before or lunchmeat. If I really don't want to eat then it's a protein drink. The sugar alcholol in many pbars make me feel icky. I dump on cereal and milk, even if its one of the Kay's Naturals protein cereals. Must be the carbs cause I can drink milk 1% no problem.

thanks, i may try the Kays. i tried some kashi go lean cereal and it was yucky. bought strawberries to add. thanks Jenn! glad i am not the only coffee addict

I do coco wheats with a scoop of protein powder (i use Beneprotein - no flavor). Yogurt is a great thing to carry with you. Also try boiled egg.

thanks Delores. i should boil some eggs. see you guys have lots of good tips, thanks!

wow Judy! I haven't been on here in a while, you look great! i do the protien bar thing too... I've been on a plateau for the last couple of months but i'm happy where i'm at... i just need to firm up! i'm looking for alternatives because i'm sick of protien bars... so i'm open to suggestions as well!

hi michelle, you look so pretty! love the pic. you lost so quickly i can see where your body needs a break right now. i'm gonna try some of these tips. i definitely need more protein in the am. i bought some of the mocha Achiev One's and I think they have an aftertaste. boy am i a pain!

yeah i'm not big into stuff that doesn't taste good. i tried those protien shots (the new whey ones) and they made me throw up... so that's not a good one for me. i don't have time to cook in the am... i tried some shakes but i can't drink a whole one and then i'm hungry shortly after and don't want all the extra calories... so i don't really have any great ideas... i'm happy with where i'm at... if i lose the extra 10 lbs that will be great, if not that's fine too... i feel great... sorry i have't been around in so long... i'm always busy! i'm on myspace if any of you are on there...

I have to admit that I am a creature of habit and am more than happy to have the same thing over and over again. So breakfast is almost always, a piece of protein bar (usually about 1/3) a single serving container of yogurt (usually Source Exotik) and 1/4 to 1/2 cup of dry Special K. It's lots to eat and I am usually pretty full. alternately I recently found a protein granola yogurt bar in Walmart Called Slim Down, They call it a cereal bar but its a granola bar. It has a coating of what they are calling yogurt but to me it tastes more like frosting..LOL It's 150 calories but has 15 grams of protein and I find the VERY filling. So about twice a week I will have one of those for breakfast. Becky

thanks Becky, I'm going to look for Slim Down. I bet your yogurt is a Canadian brand. I live in the sticks in MN and have to drive 50 miles just to get greek yogurt. I tried putting cereal in yogurt once and it tasted funny. is there a trick to it? (i sound like a complete imbecile today lol) judi
