Elode 8,093 Posted October 16, 2015 So what are some of your favorite Breakfast go-to's? I love cooking but I've never been a big breakfast person. One of my favorite and simple breakfasts is salmon lox. I know it's not going to appeal to everyone but it does ok on covering a lot of the nutrients I'm looking for. I very rarely eat any bread products but these English muffins are ok for me. I've added the totals for my breakfast. My tracker doesn't subtract for dietary Fiber so my carbs would be 9. I'm aware that it's not a lot of calories but it's all my stomach can handle in the am. No, I don't eat and drink. I still wait 30 mins before and after. I've tried to drink with food once and it was not pretty! So what do you eat for breakfast?! I use to be a shake girl but I'm trying to get away from so many shakes! I MUST have my coffee, if it comes between coffee or food sadly I will chose coffee. My son knows his momma! Ha! don't judge! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted October 16, 2015 3 ounces of chili lime chicken breast for me -- that's my standard Breakfast. It is super easy (I buy it from Trader Joe's already cooked, just chop it up), extremely low calorie, low carb, high Protein, and very filling. eta: I start my day with coffee, 2-3 cups of black coffee. But that's usually about 5 AM and I don't eat breakfast until about 11, so I think of them as completely separate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elode 8,093 Posted October 16, 2015 @@Bufflehead You're so lucky to have a Trader Joe's!! We don't have one. I lived at that store when I was on contract in Baltimore! I've decided I don't have to eat "breakfast-type" food for breakfast anymore. It's a hard realization for my brain to process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,710 Posted October 16, 2015 I am super lazy about breakfast and I always just eat it at work, so I have a Protein bar AFTER I drink my first cup of coffee for the day. Currently I'm eating Cinnamon Twist Combat Crunch Protein Bars for breakfast now that Quest Bars are no longer an option for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Babbs 14,681 Posted October 16, 2015 I still drink my Premier shake every morning so I can drink my coffee at the same time. Priorities, you know. I'll have a nice breakfast like omelette's and stuff on the weekends. But coffee is ALWAYS first. Like I said, priorities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elode 8,093 Posted October 16, 2015 @@proudgrammy You're so funny! Yes they have gas makers in them....that's not the professional term for the ingredient but it's the one I'm going to use. When they make a statement about how to "ease" into eating them I pulled the plug. I'm not going to go through all that drama to eat a dang bar! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
