Healthy breakfast

[jonasmeier]

I either have oatmeal with some dry fruits or scrambled eggs.

Breakfast is really very important. Without a healthy breakfast your day will be a loss.

Need a quick protein boost in the morning? Spread a tablespoon of the stuff on whole grain bread, add to a smoothie, mix into oatmeal or spread on apple slices. Remember to choose the natural kind to keep sugar under control.That food is so much good for your health.

I eat fruit for breakfast for the last 10 years and I eat veggies and very rarely meat. I know that the breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but my stomach is sleeping so early and I can't force myself eating something as heavy as bread and eggs.

Six egg whites, one whole egg, 1/2 cup of oatmeal scramble it up together. Excellent source of protein and complex carbohydrates. If it's not sweet enough for you, lightly squirt honey over top (Not for infants). Honey is low glycemic (It does not make you crash from a sugar high).

Oh, and this is not usually my first meal of the day, but I call it breakfast anyway

love it - haven't tried it like this, but will ..
I usually have a salad - boiled egg whites, tuna and a spoon full of sour cream ...
used to have it on a toast - now just on a fork
it's amazing how a slice of toast can actually weigh you down

Healthy breakfast helps you in refuels your body, and benefit your overall health. Breakfast gives you a chance to start your day with a healthy and nutritious meal. Take more vitamins and minerals, Eat less fat and cholesterol. Avoid the cholesterol, which may reduce your risk of heart disease
So do not skip breakfast it may be more important than you think.

You're absolutely right! I used to take oat meals during breakfast.

As long as you do what works for, go for it.

For me, I don't like to spike up my insulin in the morning - I figure that I have woken up in a mode of burning stored energy (due to the overnight fast) I may as well continue this biological mode going in the morning.

Avoiding carbs in the morning - I drink shots of black coffee with a dash of milk (a piccolo latte for those who have drunk them before) and have a few of them as I go through the morning. I'll have cottage cheese or nuts late morning, and have a first meal at 1330 or so, likely to be meat, veg and rice.

I'll slam some carbs after my late afternoon workout (say 6pm) and have some protein prior to bed.

Like I said, if it works for me!

We've finally returned home after 3 months in other countries. I notice in other cultures, it's common to start the day with a hot drink, often just a small amount of hot water. We found that a small quantity of herb tea, particularly ginger, gave us a good start. In SE Asia it's customary to have a light soup for breakfast, broth plus a bit of diced vegetable & shreds or small chunks of meat.. DH loved the hotel breakfast buffets that served rice porridge with fish bits. If that wasn't available he chose a veggie omelette rather than soft or hard boiled egg. Breakfast ends with strong coffee whitened with condensed milk and some fresh fruit.

I'm trying to replicate this somewhat as it was so energizing and much better for our waistlines. It's been easy to dump a few dinner leftovers in a crockpot plus a cup of frozen, diced mixed vegetables and a small can of V8 juice or chicken broth to turn on at bedtime, ready to eat when we get up. One night I added and egg which became hard boiled by AM. I tried to replicate rice congee [porridge] but it was an uneatable, glue like mess. Cheese and sliced fruit or a Smoothie is great. Coffee to take out...to our home office is tinged with a spoonful of condensed milk mostly to tone down the temperature. We've agreed to keep this experiment going until guests are expected in mid May.

personally i love to eat heavy in the morning. i find that it helps me get going and keeps me vitalized throughout the day.
as a matter of fact, my biggest meal for the day is breakfast.

[NormanR]

I always start the day with a smoothie and some porridge. Fills me up nice and good for the day!

[SavingMum]

I find that I can't stomach anything heavy in the morning, it has to be cereal with milk.

[Sagalamora]

I take 2 pieces of toasted bread with butter and a mug of coffee. I'm pretty sure it's not healthy actually but it's all I can eat on morning.

I have a weakness for Egg McMuffins. I don't buy them all that often - maybe once or twice a month. But the price is getting crazy. My office is in midtown Manhattan. We just moved here in September.

A sandwich was $4.02 with tax.. then it just went to $4.13. NO WAY. So I now make my own and wrote a story about it. Here's a link to just the recipe!

Though if anyone wants to read my story just say the word - i put in a lot of pictures of how to make it, step by step.

It's amazing how exact it is, and you can use better Canadian bacon, take out the egg yolk if you want.

before egg mcmuffins used to be cheap, but now they're absolutely ridiculous. I used to love getting filet o fishes, but now around here, they're 4-5 dollars. I can imagine mcmuffinscosting $1 or less to make yourself. Generally cooking yourself costs 10-25% of what it costs to actually buy from somewhere.

Just look at the ingredients, and honestly I'd be surprised if an egg mcmuffin actually costed you $0.50 to make

1 egg
1 slice cheese
1 bagel/English muffin
1 spread of butter/margarine/secret sauce
1 slice ham

I usually have cereal. It simplifies a busy time of day.

I try to have homemade granola on hand (personal favorite cereal), but if it is honey bunches of oats, that's fine too. I know those are both sugary options, but it doesn't seem to give me problems like a sugary lunch does. If anything it is the milk that is problematic.
