I loathe breakfast, it mostly makes me want to gag and vomit doesn't seem to matter what I eat, toast, museli, cereal, yoghurt... but I can attest that I don't feel hungry until lunch time if I eat it before I leave for work. Its not that I find the taste horrible, it can taste real yum my body just physically rejects it.

So these days I am down to what can I drink for breakfast.. perhaps not the healthiest way to start the day but its not terrible either, I go for 250m of Trim Milk with one of the slim meal replacements throw it in a shaker and chug it down before I go out the door, sometimes I'll even put berries in it.. not banana though, I can't stand banana.

I've just started making my own muesli using a recipe from the healthyfoodguide.co.nz website. It's great because you can add whatever nuts/ fruit/ seeds you like and vary them so you're not eating exactly the same thing every day, every week. I usually just have it with some light-blue milk and some blueberries or chopped banana.

I'm a big fan of bircher muesli for breakfast. I used to be a breakfast skipper when I was 140kg 3 years ago. A decent breakfast is a big part of setting you up for the day. I'm 82kg now so I guess it works ....

I absolutely could not survive without breakfast, never have and never will!

Most mornings in summer it's cereal and 1/2 cup lite soy milk (alternating between lite n tasty and weetbix fruity bites at the moment). In winter it's porridge made with 1/3 cup of porridge oats, 1/3 cup lite soy, 1/3 cup of water, a teaspoon of ground linseeds and a teaspoon of local honey (with a pinch of salt). On the weekends it's poached eggs on toast.

They are all around 3 WW points - which means roughly 210 calories (I think). I have found that I have to include a little bit of protein or I don't stay full for long. So even if that's just the milk, it's better than (say) toast. Even a higher calorie amount that doesn't include any protein won't keep me as full - for example 1 poached egg on 1 piece of toast (3 points) will keep me way more full than 3 pieces of toast with low fat spread and marmite (4.5 points)

I actually enjoy breakfast so much I often have it during the day as a snack as well. Today I had cereal and milk for breakfast and then toast with banana for a late morning tea!

I love my breakfast, its one of the biggest meals of the day in my counter... I have a bowl of Hubbards Outward Bound and a tall glass of Anchor Super Blue milk (cant stand trim milk, so have decided may as well go for extra nutrients in my blue for the same price!). I dont personally care if its bigger / more points (6.5 for breakfast out of an allowance of 21) and means I have to eat less during the rest of the day, because I find when I do eat this every morning, I usually only want something more to eat at about Noon, when I have a 100g yoghurt to tide me over until I get relieved for lunch at 1pm.

Speaking of, its about time I went and had said yoghurt. Yum :)

I LOVE breakfast! It's often just hubbards muesli with natural yogurt but occasionally i 'splash out' and make porridge, with sultanas and spices and honey. Or if I'm feeling super good I'll make up a batch of my 'breakfast applecrumble' and that lasts me two weeks and means I get a decent serving of fruit with brekkie (and it's a low fat/low sugar recipe - not like the dessert much at all!!) is an absolute favourite of mine! Every second weekend we have a proper kiwi breakfast, poached egg on hashbrown on toast with 2 strips of bacon (the kind that you cook till stiff and crunchy mmmm) a side of mushrooms and a roasted tomato..

OMG am I hungry now!! :P

I've been following your blog since you started it, as I've started a similar journey about 3 weeks in to January. My goal at the moment is less about counting calories and more about getting the proper balance, so I've grabbed myself a copy of the food pyramid (the thing we were taught back in primary school!) and have been keeping track that way. I find it really helps, and it means that I'm more aware of portion sizes and how much I really need.

For me, breakfast has to be a combination of protein, carbs and dairy (I never get much dairy in during the day, so breakfast is a good place to force it in). I've had all-fruit breakfasts before, but it just doesn't keep me full for long. I bake my own bread, so I will often have some homemade fruit toast (WW recipe), or I my homemade toasted muesli with yogurt or porridge made with milk. Later in the morning I have some fruit if I am feeling peckish, but I find that is best saved for afternoon snacking.

I forgot to say I'm a complete porridge girl in winter. LOVE the stuff. I stir through protein powder after it's cooked and that makes it all creamy and delicious. Then I sprinkle just a teaspoon of brown sugar on it...

yeah- I'm hungry now too! off to make my salad! (and attack the smoked chicken!)

I have a fried egg on toast with tomato sauce. Or sometimes porridge with brown sugar. On the weekends I usually have scrambled eggs and bacon. I like having hot breakfast, I don't like cereal or fruit!

I've taken to making my own muesli, as it's cheaper that way and I can put in my favourite bits and pieces. At the moment I'm loving it with dried cranberries and slivered almonds. I can't stomach anything too soon after waking, so happily I'm in an office where I can eat at my desk. Just a half cup of the muesli with a half cup of CalciTrim and I'm good to go until lunch at about one.
