When I’m working at home or on weekends, it tends to be cereal (Kashi Autumn Wheat is a favorite), or morningstar patties or vegetarian corndogs (this is a great on-the-go breakfast too, and only 3 points!) And sometimes on Sundays I make waffles. Another quick one is whole wheat toast with Laughing Cow Cheese.

I always always eat breakfast, and always have. When I was pregnant, I’d eat it three times to chase off morning sickness!

Now it’s a serving of V8 VFusion Light Strawberry Banana (1 Point and 2 servings of fruits/veggies), a banana (another serving or two of fruit, depending upon the size, and about 2 Points, again, dependent upon the size), and sometimes a serving of skim milk. I try to be conscientious of my healthy eating guidelines so that I get a good start on them.

Once I get to work I’ll sometimes have instant oatmeal with peanut butter and/or honey, maybe the banana if I didn’t eat it, or applesauce if I’m out of bananas, or I’ll have a Special K Cereal Bar. When I first started WW, I stuck with 1 Point English muffins with peanut butter and/or honey and/or sugar-free fruit spread. I still keep them on hand, but don’t eat them as regularly as I once did.

I’m just not energetic/awake enough in the AM to deal with eggs or anything even the slightest bit time consuming. I’m lazy, and my breakfasts reflect that!

I like oatmeal w/brown sugar, hot chocolate made with skim milk, cereal, SBD bars, fruit, english muffin with scrambled eggs(1 egg + an egg white), or a latte if I am heading out and don’t have time to make something.

For me, just the fact I’m EATING breakfast is a huge deal…I used to have it every day, back when I was in the best shape of my life. I would have cereal with a sliced banana and a yogurt every weekday as well as one day on the weekend… Then the other weeeknd day, I would make the yummiest bran waffles with appleasauce topping or french toast with fresh strawberries…… Somehere along the way I got out of eating it thinking it was a way to save some calories. Now I’m back into eating breakfast because I have a physical job and would pass out from hypoglycemia before lunch if I didn’t, but morever because I want and need to be healthier….But with adding breakfast back in, I find myself struggling to actually cut out the extra calories I used to eat late at night because I wasn’t eating breakfast. It is a challenge, and one that I am failing miserably at right now given my life. But, I’ll get there eventually.

Unlike most of you, I don’t add milk or sweetners to my oatmeal. I grew up eating oatmeal like a thick soup, so it is salty instead of sweet; I think my dad called it “mush.” It is basically just oatmeal, boiled in water with a sprinkle of chicken flavored bouillon (to taste). My son loves oatmeal prepared this way!
