Average-weight people, what do you eat for breakfast?

[Anonymous]

I almost always eat leftovers (from dinner) for breakfast. This morning it was mashed potatos. Tomorrow it will be mac & cheese. Sometimes if there are no good leftovers, I'll have a cup o' soup and some cereal, but it's usually a sugary cereal like cinnamon life. And I usually have a handful of pistachios as well.

Another green smoothie person here: 2% plain Fage, banana, 2 cups baby spinach, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, 2 tablespoons PB2 powdered peanut butter.

I also sometimes make an egg bake on Sunday nights that I eat for breakfast all week: eggs, canadian bacon, spinach, onion, mushroom, and cheese.

Half a cup fat free plain Greek yogurt with a quarter cup of low fat granola and a banana mixed in. Usually drizzle a little honey on top.

This normally holds me until lunch, but if I get hungry I'll have an apple or a handful of almonds as a snack.

have you tried overnight oats? There are lots of threads about it in MFP - it's my new favorite breakfast. I mix the following -

40 g rolled oats
6 g chia seeds
1/2 cup nonfat greek yogurt
2/3 cup unsweetened soymilk

...plus toppings. this morning was almond butter and blueberries. you could do peaches, bananas, etc. It makes a pretty hearty portion - around 450 - 500 calories, easily gets me to lunch. (I work out at lunch and like to eat a big breakfast!)

This looks good. Is this a "no cook" thing, i.e. do you just mix it all together and let it sit overnight? Or do you need to cook the oats?

It is a no-cook thing and will stay in the fridge a few days. Combinations I have tried - peanut butter (or PB2 with banana), peach/almond/vanilla, blueberries/walnuts/maple, etc. I add very little sweetener (a teaspoon or so) - ripe fruit is enough. I find that if I add some fat to it it keeps me really satisfied, which is why I always put nuts in there.

A cup of Greek yogurt (usually mango) with some chopped walnuts mixed in for crunch.

Golden Grahams with skim milk. And coffee with french vanilla creamer.

Nothing - I skip breakfast. All the hype about it being the most important meal of the day is driven by the sugary cereal industry.

Every single morning I eat 1 egg plus one white in a omlette with Turkey sausage, kale, and cheddar cheese. For a carb I have a small amount of fruit. never ever do I eat any sort of gluten product in the morning. This is a disaster for your metabolism and hunger cravings.

When we say average, I'm 152#s and 5'9", I could stand to lose 10, but I can eat the things I love at this weight, but would be heavily restricted when down at 140. Not worth it.

An 8-oz smoothie made with frozen banana, frozen strawberry, flax seeds, and almond milk.

This morning was flourless pancakes w/ maple syrup.

+1 for no carbs in the morning. I eat two scrambled eggs and have a cup of green tea. Then a snack when I get to work -- usually a muffin made of coconut flour.

[Anonymous]

I usually just have coffee - lattes or
regular with lots of milk and sugar. If I eat
It's cottage cheese and fruit. Or almonds and dried fruit and dry cereal.

Usually I heat 2 teaspoons of coconut oil, then wilt down a big handful of spinach or mixed greens. Add two eggs, salt and pepper. I top with 3-4 tablespoons of salsa. SO good. and yes, keeps me satisfied till noon. Carbs do NOT keep me satisfied ever.
