What do you eat for breakfast to stay full until lunch?

[MeadowHay]

I'm not a big breakfast eater but because of that I swear I spend most of my mornings perpetually hungry at uni and then have to fight the urge not to eat my lunch by about 11am. The other day I had three scotch pancakes with loads of butter, a babybell, and a nutri-grain bar (and obligatory cup of tea) for breakfast and was actually full until lunchtime. It was brill.

I've tried eating cereal but the portion sizes on the box are so tiny but then I worry if I eat much more it's bad for me...but then again not as bad as eating lots of crap snack stuff before lunch surely. If you eat cereal do you stick with the recommended portion sizes?

What and how much do you eat for breakfast to keep full until lunch??

2 pieces of toast with whole earth peanut butter or sugar free museli mixed with Greek yoghurt.

I don't

I gave up breakfast 30 years ago
I'm nadgered without a pint of tea
but food at the start of the day is a no no

On gym days or work days, nothing solid till 12.30 works just fine

Granola and yogurt does me till teatime.

Durrrrr second breakfast.

Toasted bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon

Pint of water, 2 boiled eggs mixed up in a small bowl with butter and a pot of rooibos tea.

Another vote for eggs. 2 scrambled eggs and half an avocado (no bread etc) at 8.30 this morning kept me full till 2pm. Had a lot of water as well.

This morning I had some scrambled eggs, a veggie sausage and some baked beans and then only needed a cup of tea and a banana before 6pm.

Overnight oats - much less hassle than porridge
40g oats, mixed with muller light yogurt, topped with raspberries out of the freezer.
I use a container with a lid and put it in the fridge.
The berries defrost overnight and I give it a mix in the morning

Boiled egg and a small pot of greek yogurt

Porridge, shredded wheat with added fruit and nuts/ seeds, or peanut butter in a toasted wholemeal pitta bread. Nothing else fills me up until lunch time.
(I can't face eggs/ beans etc in the morning).

Porridge with a tablespoon of peanut butter stirred into it, and a mug of tea.

Breakfast of champions.

Ditch the carbs! Full fat yogurt with seeds and nuts. I add some fruit in as well. If I eat carby stuff I'm shaky and starving 2 hours later.

Nothing will keep me going till dinner! I have breakfast at half 6 and dinner at one. Got to have a snack mid morning. Not good going 6 hours without refuelling!

But typical breakfasts are

Greek yoghurt fruit and nuts
Porridge and various fillings/toppings
Poached/dippy/scrambled eggs n wholemeal/rye toast
Smoked Mackerel fillets
Bacon n eggs

Two breakfasts is a good idea too, especially if you wake up early. A slice of wholemeal toast with peanut butter and banana then an Apple and some cheese mid morning. Doesn't have to be lots but will keep you going.

Strong coffee when i get up, then two hard boiled eggs and a banana mid morning.

I boil up a load of eggs on a sunday night for the week.

Porridge made with water, add in a flavoured yoghurt and lots of berries.

Weetabix made with milk and fruit mixed in.

Over night oats, which is porridge oats, mixed with 200g of yoghurt and fruit. Left in the fridge overnight.

Smoothie made from frozen berries, spinach, almond milk and a scoop of protein powder, and a boiled egg.

2 weetabix or overnight oats- slimming world quantities as mentioned above.

If I get chance, an apple or banana at 11.15. And a cup of tea.

I eat a lot less when I'm busy at work. At home I'll graze on crumpets and toast all morning and have an early lunch with the kids.

question to the other posters .....
how many of you are BMI 18-22 ?
as in lean and mean

Porridge with half a banana and raisins. Then a mug of black coffee mid morning.

Nothing really works for me. No matter how big my breakfast, I still need a mid morning snack.

My bmi is 25. I'm trying to lose a bit of baby weight so trained myself to eat a bit less than I'd like to. Should then be about the right amount to maintain a bmi of about 22/23 when I get there.

Scrambled egg and salmon - still a bit peckish around 11 though so usually have a banana then

Either ditch the carbs, or give breakfast a miss altogether!
