Healthy Breakfasts

Kirkland brand weight-loss shake in a can from Costco. I has vitamins, fiber, etc.

yogurt and fruit with granola never gets old. you can change the yogurt and / or the fruit, and can choose to add the granola or not for the extra crisp.

milkshakes are also another way to start the day. if you like eggs, hard-boiled with a little bit of mayo, salt, and pepper and a piece of toast [no butter].

I love an Ezekiel English Muffin for breakfast. They are found in the health food or organic section of the grocery store and they are frozen too.

Packed with good stuff for you and I think it lasts me until lunch time without a snack in between.

It's super easy to make too. Grab one from the freezer - zap it for 30 seconds in the microwave then put it in the toaster until desired crispness. I add butter and jam - but from your earlier idea post I know you don't like fruit. Peanut butter is good too. Or plain.

On days I don't have time for all that though. I like to grab a Kashi Granola Bar and run out the door.

Hope this helps!

I would recommend Oatmeal ...

You can eat instant oatmeals which come in a variety of flavors for some variety, which is quick and easy to prepare, quick to eat, filling, and ...

They say that oatmeal is good for lowering and/or maintaining a good cholesterol level, you know?

I hope this helps!

i have a similar problem, especially because i have an hour and half commute built into it.

i start my day with half a cup of weight watchers yogurt... very nutritious and minimal calories

i also make a whole wheat english muffin for some carbs that i eat once i get to work. a little bit of light cream cheese is actually better for you than butter.

the carbs and fiber will hold you over until lunch.

Try some boiled eggs only the white, All Bran with milk and water and a supplement of Way protein. The eggs and the milk will give you high value protein and the All Bran carbohydrates and fibers for all day.

breakfast is good for the health of one wheat bread stuffed with vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes, and then slightly grilled tuna, mixed with sauce, then added with a fresh orange juice

Breakfast is important. Low sugar,high protein, and high fiber foods are essential for a healthy breakfast to carry you through the day. I drink Avena atleast twice a week for breakfast. Check out different recipes for it on the web. It's essentially an oatmeal shake. Best thing is you can change the flavor to your liking with cinnamon, vanilla, or whatever you choose. You could also try whole grain or bran bagels/muffins, heated grapenuts cereal, 2-3 hard boiled eggs,or whole grain toast. If you would like one of my weekly menu's just message me and I will send it to you.

To be honest, I'm not so good at eating breakfast. But I do recognize the importance of it. How about an apple? That requires no preparation. Or whole grain toaster waffles? That's pretty simple. Set it and forget it, as they say. My third suggestion is yogurt with fruit (either already there or mixed in yourself.) That's easy to prepare and very healthy if you get the right kind.

Hi there!

Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day. I worked with a Nutritionist last year and learned that it's best for you to eat both a lean protein and a carbohydrate within 1 hour of waking up each day.

Here are a few suggestions that have worked for me:

- 1-2 slices of Canadian Bacon on a piece of toasted whole wheat bread & 1 slice of Muenster cheese melted
- Scrambled egg or egg whites on a piece of toasted whole wheat bread
- Egg white omelette with turkey bacon or turkey sausage & vegetables

These recipes should take you no more than 10 minutes to make at home. If you're in a hurry though, I nice alternative is Starbuck's whole wheat wrap with scrambled egg whites, spinach & feta cheese.

Really any similar combination will work and should hold you over for a few hours until your mid-morning snack. It helps curve the cravings for sugar and other complex carbohydrates.

Coffee also helps me in the morning because it deters me from eating more. Just make sure you use low fat or non fat milk and a sugar substitute such as Splenda.

I hope this is helpful and hears to lookin good and feeling great in 2011!
