I had cereal for breakfast and it isn't sustaining me. I'm at pretty good restriction as my doctor and I agreed that we would wait for the first adjustment. I normally feel satisfied but I'm thinking that since it's mostly carbs that's why I don't feel satisfied. i just can't have eggs everyday!! TIA for suggestions.

I usually have to change my breakfast up a lot so I don't eat the same things day after day. I usually can't ever feel sustained with cereal. What I have found that works are:

yogurt parfait with fruit and granola

cottage cheese and fruit

Quaker Weight Control oatmeal (has Protein in it)

I love making a breakfast taco with whole wheat tortilla, scrambled egg, and either bits of ham, potato, or refried Beans.

Hope this helps!

I just bought the Special K low fat granola, it's new and pretty good with yogurt and fruit.

I use Labrada rockin&rollin peanut bars. 21 gm protein,only2gm sugar.290 calories. The bars taste good & fill me up for approx 4 hrs.

One great idea I got from another post many weeks ago was 1/2c canned pumpkin (not pie filling but pure pumpkin)

1c almond milk, 1 scoop vanilla Protein powder, a dash of pumpkin pie spice , 1 tsp sugar free caramel davinci syrup.

I blend all together the night before and it "sets" in the fridge and can eat with a spoon. Delish!!

Nutritional value - 28 grams protein, 3 grams fat, 13 grams carbs - 210 calories. Keeps me satisfied for easily 5 hours.

Another thing I'll try is 1/2c yogurt or fat free cottage with 1 scoop unflavored soy protein mixed in. Also very satisfying. 20gms protein in soy powder and additional protein in cottage cheese but not so much in yogurt. I have a hard time finding the greek hi protein yogurt that everyone seems to love. You could even mix in a 1/8th or

1/4 cup of Kashi Go Lean Cereal for a bit more protein but additional carbs.

These are usually quick and convenient for leaving the house by 6:30 am, and are options for something other than just having a shake everyday. I like to mix things up.

Good luck!!

Perhaps change your cereal. Anything that is in flake form is basically rubbish - no matter how many health claimes it makes, its an overly processed grain product.

Proper oatmeal - rolled oats (or steel cut I think you call them) is a good choice or any good organic muesli/granola with nuts and seeds and some fruit in it. Not toasted, processed stuff.

Those are cereals that contain a fair bit of Protein and a LOT of fibre that will stick with you for the morning.

I dont like bacon at all, disgusting fatty meat, ugh. And I dont fancy eggs every day. I wont eat cooked breakfasts like that, dont have time and dont have the appetite for them. I do fine on oatmeal or muesli, or the occasional fruit smoothie - banana, skim milk and Peanut Butter is a good one, and I guess you can add Protein Powder if you're into it.

Kashi Go lean has great protein and fiber.. like 10 grams.. low everything else.. and that will keep you going.. I sometimes just have a half cup in milk.. and bring a half cup with me and eat it dry at work if I get hungry before lunch. .. It is just better than turning to something bad if you feel hungry and it is very portable..

South Beach Protein bars make a good breakfast as well as Yogurt
