This morning I had a small handful of almonds, cantalope, and a mug of green tea. I eat a variety of breakfests though: whole wheat toast with peanut butter, veggie omlettes (my favorite when I have the time), Kashi cereals with fruit and milk, oatmeal with raisens, and (often) a cheesestick and a piece of fruit if I’m on the go.
Today, I had before I went out for my morning run I had a cup of greentee, I always drink tee the first thing in the morning, then I had a ½ Banana and a ½ cup of orange juice.
Then when I got back I make oatmeal porridge, that I eat with, (the other) half of the banana and soymilk, pumpkin seeds(?), sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and a tsp. of raspberriejam. Nice!
I have been keeping my breakfasts very carb light since my blood sugar has been high in the mornings lately. Today I had a piece of whole wheat toast with light cream cheese and a slice of low salt/lean ham. AND COFFEE with Splenda only!!!!!! I’m starving right now!
No I’m not insulin dependent. I’ve been doing a very good job with controlling my glucose levels with diet and exercise, except for now. All of a sudden everything is out of wack and I have no idea why. I have an appointment with my Doc. next week. I know that 120 calories is like nothing but I have to be careful. Hopefully my levels will have mellowed out so that I can eat some lunch! I’m going to eat my left foot in a minute......
I hear ya, pookabead! I’m diabetic as well, and I lost my gluscose meter! I know I’m hurting myself, I’m just sure of it.
If your calorie intake drops, try eating lots of protein. That will help. A hard boiled egg or two might be good for breakfast. A protein shake or bar. Those can be upwards of 200 - 300 calories, and have very low carbs. Beef Jerky is another idea. Chicken breast is AWESOME!
But, then again, you know all of this. So, good luck at the doctor’s. I hope it works well for you!
Great breakfasts, everyone! I fully expected someone to say leftover pizza.
Today I had the same cereal—Fiber One Honey Clusters. And 2 cups of water, and a cup of water. Yum.
See ya in the morning!

Bree, you have your cereal with water? If so, wow, you are hard core.
No way, I use 2% milk. I use it in my cereal, and my coffee.
Today I had a green apple, around an ounce of mixed nuts, light and fit Dannon Smoothie, and a starbucks frapuccino. I didn’t have time to make coffee, so I grabbed one of those.
It looks like there are a lot of healthy breakfasts here. Thanks for the ideas.
I start with a pot of coffee that lasts all morning. I get vanilla nut flavored beans and grind them fresh each morning, then add some skim milk, no sugar. My rule is no coffee after noon. About an hour after I get up, I have my real breakfast - fruit and cereal. I can’t quite face eating first thing in the morning.
I’ve been getting Great Grains and adding some raisins, fresh fruit, and a small amount of 1% milk. I can’t wait for my blackberries out back to ripen. The cereal is a little higher in calories than some, but I find that I can eat less and still be satisfied.
1 Cup of coffee
1 cup of Quaker Oat squares
1/2cup of diced pears
Eating breakfast is really a challenge for me, takes concentration, since I seem to not be hungry in the mornings until like 11am!!! But I force myself to eat it.

Julie, I really wish that I wasn’t hungry until 11. My most hungry times every day at work are right before my 10 am snack and right before lunch. These are the times I really have to push through to stay on track!
