What to eat for breakfast

 I'm back 'on track' after losing almost 70 pounds and not logging my intake for several years.  What are some suggestions for protein laden breakfasts?  I'm not too keen on eggs, but I will eat them.  Thanks a bunch.

 Lots of good, recent posts in the other forums about typical breakfast foods. IIRC, there was one a couple weeks ago that focused on eye-free breakfasts. You should be able to find it with search. 

I still have protein shakes for breakfast. 

Good luck.

canadian bacon, crisped up under broiler, then add olive oil, fresh mozzarella, tomato, and crisp up again. before serving, add a leaf of fresh basil. we also love ground chicken or turkey patties fried in coconut oil, then a dollop of Tzaziki on top. I am also always serving the left-over vegie from the night before. (Just make extra at night to tide you over.) Fresh avocado slices go well with anything. Once a week we do have a slice of bacon, my one true weakness. I put melted cheese on everything too--adds extra protein. Lots of people do different forms of greek yogurt (with berries, etc). I often just have one of my pepper-jack cheese sticks for breakfast. Good luck and nice to see you back on program!

I personally love eggs of all kinds. My go-to breakfast on the weekends is one whole egg and two egg whites scrambled with a little cheese sprinkled on top. I also eat hard boiled eggs. There is also an egg muffin... scrambled up some eggs, pour into a muffin tin, add bits of bacon/cheese/sausage/peppers/onions/etc to your liking, then bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes or until done. Oh - spray the muffin pan beforehand. Yummo!! These can also be baked and then refrigerated until you want to eat them another day.

During the week, I don't have time to make eggs for breakfast, so I either have a protein shake, greek yogurt, turkey sausage or cheese. If I did a good workout, then I may a protein bar (or 1/2 protein bar). I typically make sure my protein bars have more grams of protein than grams of carbs to keep things in check for myself.

Sometimes, I will even eat leftover chicken or beef or pork from dinner the night before. Breakfast doesn't have to be breakfast food!

My usual breakfast is a half-cup of cottage cheese, a couple large spoonfuls of greek yogurt, a half-cup of blueberries, and a little SF Da Vinci hazelnut syrup for flavoring.  I make these up six at a time so I can take them to work easily.  On weekends I'll mix it up a little, with eggs and bacon, or today I had a slab of queso fresco cheese fried in butter with some Joseph's SF syrup.  Tastes just like french toast.  As you can see, I don't worry too much about fat in my diet.

my breakfast is almost always greek yogurt. i have fat free Fage and can eat about a cup of it. because it is so tart i put a teaspoon of honey on it. my doctor would probably hate that but i did it through weight loss phase. you could use some splenda, a few berries, sugar free syrups or jellies to make it not so tart.    a cup has 23g protein so its a pretty good start. 

you can also make the egg bites from the eggface website so they taste like other stuff.   diane

I have almost the same thing for breakfast most days!  3/4 - 1 cup of Fage, 1 splenda packet, and most of the time a small amt of berries....like 4-5 raspberries or something.

Sleeve seems to love it.  If not that...then usually 1 scrambled egg or 2 oz of italian sausage.

I can't stand eggs, or breakfast food for that matter, so I eat dinner leftovers from the night before for breakfast.  Sometimes though, like today, I have a protein shake.

 I always have a Syntrax Nectar for First Breakfast and tend to have an Egg & Cheese slice ommette for Second Breakfast.

basically, any protein you like and can tolerate. I don't like solid food the first few hours I am awake.

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.

PM me if you are interested in either of these.
