What's for breakfast?!



Recommended Posts

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!

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. :D

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!

@@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.

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. :(

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.

@@JamieLogical They screwed up our bars! I'm not doing bars anymore either. They aren't agreeing with my stomach.

@@Babbs Me too Babbs. That's why I drank shakes so much! I've had a lot of down time just focusing on school and not picking up many hours so I'm trying to work on eating "real" food. It's not easy!

What's for breakfast?!

@@Elode

you are soooo nosey :angry: :lol:

GNC Total Lean 25gr high Protein shake (swiss chocolate)

pre-mixed bottle - can't get better than that

i drink it veryyy slowly (put glass down, wait, etc)

it fills my little tummy

in a couple of hours i usually have a babybell cheese as a snack

works for me

if i'm feeling really rambunctious (thanx Webster!!)

i'll make a couple of scrambled eggs with sliced green peppers

and fresh mushrooms (yum yum)

i know there are some people that can't stomach eggs

i never had a problem

if i don't have either one of the above

maybe i'll have a dozen donuts

ooooops that was in my previous life :D

love my double chocolate chuck Quest Protein Bar at night

i have read here earlier that something is different about them

maybe not great to have, something in them bad???

they taste great to me

you better not try and take my Quest away from me

people have been shot for less!! :o

@@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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
