Looking for breakfast ideas

[Brydie]

Hey guys, I'm really looking at improving my diet (I don't eat a lot of junk but think my diet could be better). Starting with breakfast! I'm a 24yo female, about 160cm tall, probably 55-60kg.

Currently every morning I eat 2 pieces of whole grain toast with peanut butter. I would really like to add more fruit to my diet but I'm pretty fussy (only really like berries, don't mind cooked apple, just not raw). So fruit has been pretty non-existent.

So I'm looking for ideas of how I could change my breakfasts to be a bit better!

1) Eggs
2) Bacon
3) Cheese
4) Fruit

You're a chick and you probably don't want to gain weight, so just pick one out of the first three and combine it with the fruit. You can replace the fruit with wheat toast or a wheat bagel if you want but fruit is better for you.

Oatmeal and fruit.

Scrambled Eggs and fruit.

Cottage Cheese and fruit.

Porridge (oatmeal) with berries is awesome, slow release energy, warm & should keep you "full" until lunch - personally I prefer it without the berries but for some people it makes it easier to eat.

I really wish the myth about oatmeal keeping you full was true.

It's hard to advise you on your breakfast without knowing what you eat throughout the day to make for a balanced diet.

Random Fruit/nuts you like, you can pretty mix anything with this.

Breakfast is coffee. That is all.

We have fruit salad quite often, just buy whatever fruits/berries you like and cut it up in small pieces, serve with a yoghurt(we got a vanilla flavoured one), sprinkle some cinnamon on top for added flavour. Fresh and tasty. Takes 5 mins to throw together. You can add some nuts/honey/whatever to it as well if you like that.

Oatmeal is good, but make sure you're getting something higher in fiber, or add high in fiber fruits to it. Fiber is what gives you that full feeling. Additionally, adding some protein isn't a bad idea either. Additionally, yogurt+skim milk+ice+fruit= a badass breakfast smoothie (need a blender). Especially if you're picky about fruits, since you can mask textures or flavors with other ingredients.

You may also want to get some professional advice on the subject. In a lot of my personal research on better eating, many people who are conscious about what they eat tend to eat too few calories. You need to make sure you get the right blend of good foods, along with enough fuel for your body (calories) to ensure a healthy weight.

What I usually eat is wholegrain cereal and low % fat milk, topped with a fresh apple Unfortunetly you don't seem to like apples so I guess you could change apples to berries. As far as oatmeal goes, it's a great addition to your breakfast if you're on a diet, however for my taste oatmeal was just not that good, felt too much like eating wood with milk, just not that tasty or enjoyable... But everyone has it's own taste, so perhaps you'll like them.

Hi all
Healthy breakfast is much better for health.Milk,juices,fresh fruits,nuts,dry food these are healthy food.There are many vitamins in a fruit and vegetables.

Fruit isn't nearly as good for you as people would want you to believe - the vitamins are neat and all but besides that fruit is pure sugar, and thus isn't really worth much except in moderation, and definitely isn't a great breakfast item. Stick with proteins and fats; bacon and eggs with some vegetables thrown in there. I like scrambling eggs up with spinach, artichoke hearts, peppers etc.

To the poster claiming "juices and dry foods" are healthy... lol. Just hilarious.

Fruits are just pure sugar but the sugar from fruits are better than any other carbs you can get. Not only do they have vitamins but they're absorbed slowly. Look up the glycemic index for individual fruits if you would like to see how fast they absorb into your bloodstream (lower glycemic index equals slower absorption time). Last I looked the glycemic index of strawberries is 1/3 that of the carbs from milk, which is already a pretty slow-absorbing carbohydrate.

While some fruits are much better than others (like strawberries, apples, most berries really), and definitely much better than your typical sugar/flour nonsense breakfast item, that doesn't make them the ideal breakfast food. It's still just fructose (though, again, far less than processed junk).

And I'd say that the carbs you get from vegetables generally are much superior to fruits.

Regardless, eat an omelette or something with some vegetables.

Vegetables have almost no calories. An entire bag of frozen broccoli (4 servings) has only 80-100 calories. You need to eat vegetables but you can get most of your daily carbs from fruit.

Well that's quite the point, getting the 80 (more like 200) calories of vegetables and forgoing the fruit since it isn't at all necessary.

If you're on a low-carb diet, sure. Most people aren't though, and I'm assuming the OP who eats 2 pieces of toast every day isn't either.

Bagel + cream cheese. Mmmm

What constitutes a low carb diet? I get an easy 100-150g a day without any fruits, dairy, flour, sugar, etc.
