ideas
I have kind of an odd question for you readers. I'm curious what you ladies typically eat for breakfast. I find that breakfast food NEVER fills me up and is often too sugary and leaves me feeling shaky and starving within and hour. I know eggs are probably a good thing to eat, but they're not my favorite. Maybe I could get a little more creative with them? I'm often times in a big hurry in the morning and so I grab yogurt and maybe a Z-bar, but come on... that's a terrible breakfast. So, if you care to, please share your ideas with me! I know they say breakfast is the most important meal of your day, so I'd like mine to be worth something. :)

One of my favorites: I mix 1/4 C ricotta cheese with 2 Tbsp natural applesauce, sprinkle with cinnamon and spread it on an english muffin. Then broil it for a little bit; very yummy! If you want it a bit sweeter, you can add splenda or a little sugar to the mix.
So, there ya go! :)
I usualy have a bowl of Special K Red Berries, however I have found that the one breaky that fills me up the most, for the longest is a peice of toast with light cream cheese and an over easy egg on top. I cook the egg while the toast is toasting and then put the egg on top of my toast and mop up the runnyish yoke with the bread..yum. Proteins will make you go longer in the mornings!
Gina - I remember when I was pregnant with Ethan I felt like I NEEDED eggs in the morning. Maybe its a boy thing?
I think I'm going to try some of these things you've all suggested and then maybe for quick on the go mornings (we have 3 of them a week) I will get a baggy of almonds, an apple and some yogurt. It just kills my energy level when I don't get a good breakfast to start off the day.
Thanks for sharing!
Other than that - I make pancakes with flax meal, or cream of wheat. I've always loved cold cereal but it seems like especially lately, it leaves me feeling hungry and light-headed after like 30 minutes. Not filling enough.
They say you should make breakfast your biggest meal of the day, so don't skimp on healthy calories!
If I need really really quick, I have granola type cereal. Other cereals just make me more hungry, but Nature's Path (Most health food stores and Nob Hill) is very tasty and really good for you too.
