Beans on toast!
Beans on toast!
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
Peanut butter toast and coffee with almond milk. Every. Single. Day.

Fat free cottage cheese, 3 egg whites, (or 2 egg whites + 1 real egg), skim milk and sometimes a piece of toast or 1/2 bagel). Pretty much most mornings - anything with less protein and I am starving within a few hours.
I need to get back to having a Myoplex drink for breakfast 3-4 days a week - that has pretty much the same calories and protein with other goodies. It is a meal replacement protein shake and uses whey protein. I can't have it too close to working out for some odd reason, but it works for breakfast.
If I am riding early then I cut back on the dairy and replace the rest with a banana/peanut butter sandwich on sprouted wheat bread. Or Myoplex made with water but I prefer to actually chew my breakfast on a riding morning.
My current favorite breakfast is an egg over medium, nuked broccoli, multi-grain toast, and cappuccino. Sometimes I have apple butter or peanut butter on the toast, but more times than not it's plain.

I have to eat breakfast. Typically I only grab a couple slices of toast with nutella and a cupof coffee, but thenI'm starving again by 10am. When I have time to make 2 eggs on an english muffin or bagel and a cup of coffee I'm full until noon, easily and then don't eat nearly as much for lunch.
Not sure of the calorie differences, but the protien does it for me.
I'm not a big breakfast eater. Usually just coffee with cream and stevia/splenda. If I'm riding in the morning I might have a gel or a larabar just before I get going. I get nauseous if I ride with too much solid food on my stomach.
