Savoury breakfast for weightloss ideas BUT

[NoCereal]

I can’t eat eggs, tomatoes or mushrooms.

I’m trying to lose weight and have been advised that regularly skipping breakfast for 30odd years hasn’t been very good for me and to try breakfast daily.
I just don’t know what to eat. My usual first foods don’t appeal first thing in the morning.

Thin bagel with cream cheese, ham and spinach.

Marmite on 400g loaf toast.

All my others are sweet or contain eggs.

Peanut butter and banana on sourdough

Try baked oats, it's eggs and oats but it tastes like cake. The cherry bakewell ones are lovely.

Also, smoked salmon and avocado

Kippers and roasted tomatoes

Protein pancakes, make with blended oats, a scoop of protein powder, an egg and a dash of milk.

Vanilla protien shake with a shot of espresso in and blended with ice....basically an iced latte.

Cashew nut butter on rice cakes is my current quick breakfast that’s not sugary option.

Soup. I’d make a nice broth based one with pearl barley, leeks, carrots.

That’s my current favourite soup minus the barley. I use ham stock, it’s so good.

Thanks for all the ideas. I will give some a go.

It’s made me realise how many foods I don’t eat though. I’ve worked hard at adding loads of new foods but there’s still loads I avoid.

Plain yogurt with nuts
Cold cooked sausage
Get inspired by other cultures!
Dhal
Kedgeree
Breakfast burrito/wraps full of beans and cheese or bacon and cheese.

Though agree with everyone else. I don't eat breakfast most days. If morning fasting makes you binge later then yes maybe you should have it but otherwise...why?

On another note. I keto and find I get more energy if I give up sugar/carbs. Feel more motivated and productive, more energised etc. if there's no nutrient deficiency then it's possibly a starchy/sugar filled diet which is making you feel lethargic. Keto is anti-inflammatory.

Miso soup, roasted edamame, crudités

I never have breakfast. At most I will have raw fruit mid morning (which I know isn’t an option for you). If you don’t want food, don’t have it. Eating when you’re not hungry isn’t good in the long run.

If you must have breakfast, have you thought of having a protein breakfast? Something like prosciutto cotto, which is very low fat and packed with protein. Just a couple of slices, under 100 calories and good for muscle mass.

You should see someone about your eating disorder (Arfid). You need a holistic rethink of your relationship with food. Your quality of life would be enhanced by having a better relationship with food and not feeling threatened by different foods, tastes and textures.

I would also recommend Mounjaro, it sounds like you might be a good candidate. I went from morbidly obese to healthy weight in 8 months and have maintained ever since.

I just have a banana. Sometimes with a bit of peanut butter.
Keeps me going til lunch

I have a thick slice of seedy toast with cottage cheese and cucumber. It’s filling but the cucumber makes it taste really fresh.

Eating breakfast or not is neither here nor there. If you want to lose weight you need to restrict your calorie intake, that's all there is to it. You need some calories obviously, and you can consume them whenever you like during the day, doesn't matter.

I found the Slimfast diet brilliant for weight loss. On this, you would have a shake in the morning. They are not very nice but they are filling. You will have another for lunch, and a normal (though not extravagant) meal in the evening.

But the real benefit of the diet is that it teaches you to calorie count. Which is the only reliable and quick way to lose weight. You need to know the calorific value of everything you consume (food and drinks), set yourself a target and stick to it.

This would honestly be the best advice I can give you.

i would just eat a healthy option that I’d normally eat at a different time of the day.

fruit
yoghurt
cereal if you can manage cereal
toast

i struggle with breakfast most of my life but the last few months I have been eating it fine, normally can’t eat before 11. When I go back to can’t eat it as making me feel sick I have cereal or toast very late just before I go to bed instead.

Or at half tenish make myself eat a non breakfast thing. So egg mayo sandwich, ryvita salad and soft cheese, cream crackers a slice of cheese and tomato or (this one may be good for you) rice cakes peanut butter (or equivalent in your household) and sliced banana.

3 tbsp of skyr yoghurt
3 tbsp of flour
0.5 tsp of baking powder.

Mix. Roll into two balls. Sprinkle seeds on top (optional).

Air fryer at 180 for 12 minutes.

Fills me up til 11ish and I'm a right piggy usually 😊

I have 200ml hot skimmed milk with collagen for breakfast.

works out at about 110 calories and 16g protein

I have worked really, really hard to improve my relationship with food. I’ve had two years of therapy which really helped. I gained some of my weight by allowing myself to eat loads of different foods in order to both increase the foods I eat and stop the guilt and shame I was feeling from eating ‘the wrong’ foods.
I haven’t been able to do much about the texture thing though. I’ve tried my whole adult life but certain foods my body just refuses to swallow. It isn’t a huge list and some I don’t need to eat anyway, jelly or chicken nuggets for example. It’s just that most of them seem to be the easy healthier breakfasty foods.
I’m trying the nurses advice for 12 weeks and if things don’t change I’m going try mounjaro.
