Nuts and legumes?

Kashi makes some high protein cereals. The Cinnamon Crumble is delicious and the protein keeps you full longer. Nutritionist recommended this to me.

Agree with the post about making a huge batch of steel cut on the weekend. It saves really well in the fridge and individual portions will make your breakfast really fast. Add fruits and some nuts for protein and you will be good to go. You can also make it overnight in a crock pot but make sure it's on low - it can get gummy.

There is instant steel cut oatmeal. Takes 5-7 minutes.

What about plain greek yogurt with fresh fruit? Or frozen fruit- and if you let it melt it gets sort of juicy and would mix in nicely with yogurt.

Make sure the oatmeal is plain, steel cut.

Is this the kind that takes half an hour to cook? I can't do that in the morning...I'm just too rushed. Is there a quicker way to do steel cut oatmeal?

My BIL makes a batch on Sunday and puts them into individual containers and puts them in the fridge. Takes one out every morning and microwaves. He adds blueberries and walnuts. I have been dong the same and it is great.

I used to take them to work once a week and keep them in the fridge. I used a little non-fat milk to moisten them back up.

Re oatmeal, I think you can soak it overnight in milk or something.

The newest thinking is that carbs causes high cholesterol, not fat. Eat the eggs!

you can google overnight steel cut oatmeal. One option is to cook them for a minute or two the night before, leave them covered and then it might take 10-15 mins of cooking in the morning.

Egg beaters or egg whites? 2 egg whites and one whole egg as a sub for 2 eggs?

Peanut butter on whole grain toast?

I have high cholesterol so have cut out eggs, cheese, red meat, and dark meat out of my diet. You'd think I would have lost weight but I have not (I'm currently at the high point of my BMI, I am 5'7 and weigh about 154, would like to be 140-145).

I am on WW.

I think I eat too much sugar and processed foods and that's inhibiting my weight loss. For breakfast, I usually have either oatmeal with blueberries at Starbucks or a chobani fat free yogurt with fresh fruit. But I know the Chobani has a lot of sugar. I cannot stomach unflavored plain greek yogurt. I can't have eggs, which would give me some protein to fill me up.

Any advice on some filling, tasty food that is both low-sugar and low-cholesterol?
