Breakfast ideas please

Go for oats - the ones you make yourself. Its filling and healthy. My wife and I have it 3 times a week.

Or go for toast (wholemeal bread). As you can see - simple breaky is our favorite. And the odd accasisonal big Breakfast with eggs and sausages keeps it interesting

I like doing canadian bacon, egg & low-fat provolone, with a half of a very crisp whole-wheat english muffin ... Healthier version of an Egg McMuffin :-)

With a whole large egg, 2 slices of Canadian Bacon, 1 slice Reduced Fat Provolone, 1/2 Whole-Wheat English Muffin, the breakdown is:

234 Calories, 10g Fat, 14g Carb, 22g Protein

With 1 Large Egg White instead of whole egg, + all other ingredients as mentioned, the breakdown is:

176 Calories, 5g Fat, 14g Carb, 19g Protein

Honestly? Seriously? you can eat this stuff??? I'd be running to the bathroom and upchucking everything... English muffin??? I guess the secret to this is to chew, chew, chew a million times over...

Jachut - hey, do you have any good reciepes for Bircher Muslei? I only said it was weird becuase it is hard for me to get past the fact that I am eating cold oatmeal - that is not typically done here in the states.

Anyway, if you make it all the time I would love some of your reciepes. When I search the web, many of the ones I have found come from down under.

Actually, I just posted my favourite yummy Bircher Muesli recipie in the Australian forum a couple of days ago.... I love oatmeal for breakfast, but prefer it cold in Summer. This keeps for 1 month stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

Combine 4 cups of rolled oats, 1 cup wheat germ, 1/4 cup linseeds, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, 1 cup sultanas (or chopped dried apricots) and 1 cup chopped roasted or slivered almonds.

To make the muesli, soak 1/2 cup of muesli with 1/2 cup low fat milk overnight. In the morning add grated apple and 2 tbsp low fat natural or vanilla yoghurt then fold through.
