Breakfast Ideas?

I haven't been posting in awhile due to an unexpected medical issue that has kept me laid up for awhile.  I have been doing well, lost 43 pounds so far.  My one problem is breakfast.  I usually have a protein shake, but every so often I want something different.  Anyone have any "must-haves" for brealfast?

Sandi I hope you will be better soon. I eat cream of wheat every morning for the past 6 months.  I love it and it fills my pouch till I have to eat again.  Tia eats some kind of yogurt that sounds good and I want to try that this weekend.  Keep up the good work. Hugs Kristen

I eat scrambled eggs without the yolk.

Hi Sandi, I like tuna or boiled egg or cottage cheese.  I'm a big believer that you don't have to have "breakfast" food for breakfast.  Some days I actually do a Chef Boyardee beef ravioli cup.  It's got 7 grams of protein and it's just under 1 cup of food so it's good portion control for me and it's fast at the office.  Tia is grossed out by it, but her nephew B LOVES it too hehehe

Heather - my sister!!  I LOVE those with the mini meatballs.  There are about 20 cans in my pantry right now because there were coupons in the Sunday paper about 3 weeks ago.  So, in addition to being 10 for $10 at Giant and Superfresh, I had coupons for $1.00 off 3 cans. 

Hey sista friend!  I have never seen the ones with mini meatballs nor have I seen a coupon for them!  Giant has them 10 for $10 again so I need to stock up.  I've never been brave enough to actually buy 10 cans at a time hehehe  They ARE such good portion control though.

Sandi, I usually have a shake in the morning. That is where I get the most protein from. The way I make it is over 40 grams of protein. Some mornings I want something different too. I like Quaker Instant Oatmeal Weight Control. It has 7 grams of protein. I then try to make the protein up later in the morning or afternoon. It is yummy!

I usually rotate these three during the course of the week: 1 packet instant grits, with shredded FF cheddar cheese and 2 slices Oscar Mayer pre-cooked bacon mixed in.  This is my favorite because it keeps me full for a long time. Protein shake with soy milk, frozen bananas and frozen strawberries Ceral - usually Honey Bunches of Oats or Total with soy milk

I also drink protein shakes w/ added berries or bananas in the AM which = 35-40 grams For a change I eat the  Weight Control Oatmeal mixed with a little skim milk = 10 grams Special K also makes a Protein cereal ( I like to add a little splenda & berries ) = 19 grams w/ the skim milk This morning I had a leftover homemade pita pizza = 15 grams Remember, It doesn't always have to be the typical breakfast.  I like the protein shake cause it seems to fill me up and last longer than anything else.

Here are my main breakfast staples: 1. Quaker makes the Weight Control Oatmeal.  It tastes great (I love the maple flavor) and even has 7 grams of protein to boot. 2. Bacon. Yep, just bacon.  I eat the thickly sliced stuff that has 7 grams per two slices.  I can usually eat 3 or 4 slices. 3. On those all-to-frequent mornings that I'm rushing out the door because I'm late for work, I eat a South Beach protein bar.  They have 19 grams of protein and come in various flavors. My protein shake comes in between breakfast and lunch. Hope this helps!
