Good evening peeps 
I'm looking for some breakfast ideas.
I currently have 30grams of wheatbix choc crispy minis (dry as I'm not keen on milk) and usually put some strawberries with it.
Don't want to become bored so any ideas would be brilliant please
X
2 poached medium eggs 66 calories each
1 English wholewheat muffin split and toasted 60 calories each half.
Add Grilled tomato/ mushroom if you like
Thanks you sounds yummy.
Going to add these to my shopping list for tommorows supermarket trip.
What brand do you use for the English wholewheat muffin? (Just so I know what I'm looking for as iv never bought these before)
X
Any brand I can find. Calories vary though so check pack
You can substitute an egg for 50 grams of turkey rashers if you like a bacon like fix too
Wow great thank you x
I make my own granola with sunflower seeds and raisins. You can have it with milk or it's also nice with yogurt and fresh fruit or even some stewed apple.
I also love porridge with mashed banana mixed in. Don't know how you feel about porridge if you're having dry Weetabix?
At the weekends I make potato cakes or bubble n squeak and have it with a poached egg and beans. Tip for poaching eggs, lightly oil a piece of cling film in a bowl (eg spray with fry light), crack the egg into the cling film, twist it closed over the egg and drop into boiling pan of water for approx 4 mins. No faff!
Hi Ruth, that's a great tip for poaching eggs without the faff. I'll be using that one in the future, thank you. Hope you're having a good week.
I add a little vinegar to water too
You don't need to add vinegar if you're doing the cling film method. But yes the vinegar works a treat for normal poaching. I'm completely sold on the cling film method now though!
Great ideas, thank you
I've never tried porridge but I'm willing to give it ago.
More items added to the shopping list and feeling positive
Will try your method tomorrow. Got a 'dangerous' day..... family celebration and barbaque.
So planning brunch, no carb, high protein hence the eggs. Am taking huge salad bowls so hoping to survive!
hi ruth,
as a once fanatic of sunflower seeds I stopped eating them years ago as most of *esco's seeds, packet fruit etc. comes from china, and I am still a bit old-womanish about their use of lead in virtually everything they produce (chance of cross contamination).
any tips, thanks
I just checked my sunflower seeds, eek, indeed they're from China. I didn't know that about the lead, hopefully I'm not full of lead already! I normally get pumpkin seeds too, are they a better choice?
Similar to 2bFabnfit - wholewheat bagel, poached egg, half tin of tomatoes. Might sometimes have a quorn sausage and only have half the bagel.
Also sometimes have porridge, handful of almonds and a banana (in which case I have the bagel/egg/tomato for lunch).
Definitely getting some of these bagels to try
And the porridge seems to be a favorite here too, will try it too x
I like to flash fry some thinly sliced mushrooms and then throw those and some low fat cheese into a 2 (or 3) egg omelette. Delish.
My other favourite thing at the moment is to mashup some avocado, persian feta (normal is fine) and chopped mint. Spread this on a piece of rye toast and top with a poached egg. Yum!
That being said my staple is usually a hifibre porridge sachet with 1 tbsp of peanut butter, a splodge of honey and a sprinkle of chia seeds. If you like peanut butter this is a great start to the day I have it probably 4 times a week and have done for at least 3 months.
Use natural (no salt or sugar added) peanut butter and a good quality honey. I really can taste the difference if I use a cheap honey.
Thanks Dave, brilliant ideas
Peanut butter and honey added to the shopping list, going to be sat in supermarket looking for a good brand but low calories ( will be worth the extra time tho)
Really excited to do the supermarket shop today, normally I dread it for many reasons but positive today
Look at meridian peanut butter, 100% peanuts with nothing else added. If it's not in the supermarket you'll def find it in Holland and Barrett or similar health food type places. It's not low calorie but you end up having less than you would with normal peanut butter, so the calorie saving comes that way. I think the same applies to honey. The cheap stuff is thin and tasteless, just adds a sweet flavour so you end up adding more than you need. It's counterintuitive but spending a quid more on a better quality version will mean you use it up more slowly, so it all works out cheaper and healthier in the end.
40g giant rolled oats porridge. Make with water. Microwave on high for 90 seconds, add a couple of spoons of 0% total yoghurt and slice some strawberries into it. I add Splenda for sweetness at this point.
Microwave again for a further 90 seconds.
The strawberries make this delicious. You can add berries of any kind Instead of strawberries or rhubarb stewed in Splenda.
Gives a great start to the day.
On some days I have a more protein breakfast. May seem strange to some but will have fish of any type with a poached egg and tomatoes. Will sometimes have a couple of homemade lean beef burgers with egg and fresh tomatoes. Will usually have raw spinach with these type of meals
Another good idea for porridge
Never thought of fish of beef burgers for breakfast, however I'm quiet liking the idea as It would probably keep me fuller for longer, I'm up early enough to make this kind of breakfast too. Hmmmm definitely something to think about trying
Hi what a great thread. I have porridge with fruit 4 times a week but I needed to finish up leftovers so I have just had a piece of cod and two tablespoons of rice, some butter beans from the fridge , tbs olive oil and huge handful of chopped greens from the garden - all stir fried together. I think that it is kedgeree or something like. Delicious.
I just have two weetabix with milk
Do you have a puritan streak? If yes, this should suit 
: Alpro plain soy yoghourt, oatbran/oatmeal, fresh grated ginger (loads!), chia seeds, fresh fruit.
Wow loads of great ideas been shopping and bought all foods mentioned so definatley in for a treat in morning
Spent 3 and half hours in supermarket, looking for new foods and checking calories etc and I actually enjoyed it x
Enjoy exploring new ideas was going to suggest crumpet with sugar free jelly and a egg to round it out.
I'm lucky enough to like porridge. Eggs etc... are good but I get hungry and look to pick and snack by 10.30 whereas with the mighty porridge it sees me through. The options are endless with what you can do with it....
It's low in saturated fat and sugar and you can have some for lunch too.
Can anyone recommend a low fat, low sugar breakfast cereal?
What is an ideal breakfast
