2 eggs and then 2 pieces of ezekial toast or ezekial english muffin with a little bit of coconut oil and some form of nut butter(i'm big on almond)- you can add a teeny tiny bit of jelly if wanted.

That is what i'm on for the next 2 weeks from this nutritionist....

I've been doing a cut up apple with cinnamon and chopped walnuts with Greek yogurt. Yum!

I go through phases with eggs/veggies too but then I go through phases where they just don't appeal at all. I get burnt out on eggs.

The only way I'm enjoying eggs right now, on occasion, is if I chop/mince veggies in my Ninja or food processor until they're rice-like. I like to use mushrooms,zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, carrots, onion...whatever. I stir fry the veg and then scramble in the egg as you'd do with fried rice. It's way less jiggly on a plate lol. I tend to have this for a quick lunch/dinner over breakfast though.

Yum; that sounds good.

My standard breakfast lately is a Van's gluten-free waffle (I don't have celiac disease...I just like how they taste) on which I spread a thin layer of almond butter and then banana slices on top, sprinkled generously with cinnamon. It's yummy and filling, and feels like I'm eating a "treat".

I do a lot of smoothies for breakfast because they are quick and easy (and I can pack them full of spinach which makes me feel better about my breakfast).

That said, I love these:

Delicata Sausage Breakfast Boats - I make them ahead and then just nuke them for 1 min in the morning. The sweetness of the squash really compliments the seasoning in the sausage.

You could just bail on the sweets entirely at breakfast.

My usual breakfast these days is a salmon patty (frozen, from Costco) some mushrooms, and an egg.

The salmon patties/burgers are quick to cook, and after I flip it over to cook the other side I turn the heat down to low, push the mushrooms off to one half of the pan, and gently fry/poach the egg in the mushroom and salmon juice.

The bigger (and less sweet, less starchy) the breakfast, the better. Sometimes I slip back into the pattern of sweet and starchy little breakfasts and big robust dinners. Then I get fat. Made the effort to return to big protien rich breakfasts, and I've lost about 20 pounds in the last couple months and had to go buy a bunch of new clothes.
