I've had my share of coffee and donut breakfasts or 5000 calories fat filled breakfast skillet meals, etc. Yes I know a chocolate covered coffee roll is not at the top of the nutrition list.

I always felt I was doing well if I had a bowl of cereal instead of the donuts. I like Quaker 100% Natural cereal so I boght a big box of that. Oats, whole grains, nuts , fiber man its like eating pure good health from a bowl.....wrong. Now they say it has a lot of fat (if its fat from the nuts its OK but apparently the bulk of the fat is not from the nuts. OK Try again.

I like Kellogs Raisin Bran. What with all that fiber in the Bran and some vitamins in the raisins and not even mentioning the benefits to the waste disposal system, yep Raisin Brans a winner,,,,nope. Now they say they take those two scoops of raisins and sugar coat them. Now why a sweet raisin needs to be sugar coated is beyond me but apparrently its true. Also any cereal with milk is a problem unless you use skim milk, etc, etc.

So what about fruit for break fast? Sounds good but they say some have a high glycimic index...How about a nice multigrain muffin...nope , muffins are 5 times bigger than they should be and some have over 500 calories in just 1 muffin (and who can eat just one :).


So anyway , what the hey is considered a good healthy breakfast these day?

When I try to go healthy I do a bowl of Total Cranberry with a few strawberries cut up on top. Pretty damn good too!

Chocolate Cherrios.....GOOD

Everthing bagel and TALL glass of OJ and Ruby Red Grapefruit mixed....GOOD

Chocolate chip waffle and sausage with same drink as above....BETTER

Leftover corned beef dinner mined and made into hash, with whole wheat toast and same drink....BEST!

I also do eat baked beans with breakfast when offered!

1/2 a cold pizza.

:rotf2:Wait until O.D. Mike chimes in on this thread! When the waitress asks Mike what he will have on the menu, he answers Yes!

Congrats on the weight loss.

I joined a gym a few month back the pt and diet guru suggested 3 hardboiled eggs and two slices on real whole wheat toast for breakfast. Takes your body more calories to burn it then you take in.

Your diet guru needs to take up another line of work. :doh: There is no such thing as any food that takes more energy to digest than you take in.

2 eggs scrambled, home fries, sausage patties, rye toast and coffee will do me fine. At Phils in Wakefield in a few more months.

i find it hard to find a decent breakfast, i use to enjoy some steak and eggs with tasty garlic homefries, but cant find it anymore

Did someone say Phils?? :)

Don't the cigarettes get stuck in your teeth???:rotf2:

Oatmeal w/ fresh fruit and nuts is always good and healthy for you.

I do Mini Wheats in the morning...they are High Fiber and High Protein...only knock on them is the sugar.

read the labels....my diet guru :hihi: said to always look for High Fiber And High Protein when choosing food.....

also don't get caught up in the whole Fat Free craze...fat is good for you...you just want to stay away from Saturated Fats and Trans Fats....you need unsaturated fats in your diet.

corn is healthier for ya than wheat....

oats are heathier for ya than corn

i always (typically) work up an appetite and have a late break fast

orange or grapefruit juice is best when your eating anything chocolate

because the citric acid counter acts the negative oxcylic acid
in chocolate that causes kidney stones when combined with uric acid that's a result of eating meat. keep that in mind !

poached eggs are better than hard boiled ....
i love waffles on SUNDAY - a family tradition :uhuh:

micro waved bacon cooked on a paper towel then crumbled
is better than eating it softer.... with grease

some mornings it's just pure whey protien
if i'm going to do some hard labor...

Whole protein (low fat) and a low glycemic Carb.

Yup, with banana,blueberries or straberries and skim milk.
Then you get the the protein, fiber, potassium and antioxidants.

What about lettuce or celery?
Neither one has any nutritional benefit, just fiber and ruffage.

BEER,

slowest thing to digest you consume
takes to long to find the right brew

you waste gas looking for it
you produce gas when burping it

and fart gas after drinking it
burn even more gas going to get more of it :grins:

Is that the hole in the wall by Brant Rock with only a handfull of tables? I had fish cake egg benedicts in that joint the was amazing. Good home fries also.

I used to like the oatmeal with added goodies at the work cafeteria but on your own its tough. At the caf you could get the oatmeal in a bowl and add say raisins walnust almond slivers , couple apple slices and maybe some spice like cimimumum. To do that at home you need to spend $30 to get a packagae of each and 3/4 of it goes bad before you get to eat it. But I do agree , that makes a nice breakfast. yes eggs , sausdage homefries pancakes juice and coffee is a great breakfast but i asked about healthy. :)

I like coffee with breakfast as I only drink coffee before say 1 PM. After that it keeps me awake. I used to drink about 5 cups a day from 7 AM to even 11 PM and I slept like a rock.

I think a McD egg Mcmuffin is not too bad ind even good for you if you tell them no cheese and no butter (or whatever it is they oil the muffin with). Minus those two its a damned good tasting , low fat , high protein sandwich. One problem I have is that I may enter the drive in line with egg mcmuffin in mind but exit with2 sausage egg and cheese muffins because they are on special 2 for $3. The sausage version has about 60% more calories and you get 2 with the special so you net calorie intake goes up like 3 to 1 and your fat intake goes up like 4 to 1.

and how many friends did you lose!? If I ate 10 hard boiled eggs a day all of RI would get poisoned from the methane gas! :yak5:

Yeah I need to start eating healthy breakfasts too! Egg while omelets are always good as long as you use some kind of low fat cheese, not like a pound of cheddar!

Kinda tough on waders as well

I do the Bob Red Mill Thick cut Oatmeal, then I mush up a banana, throw in a handful of Dried Cranberries and Chopped Walnuts, then top it off w/ a sprinkle of brown sugar.....doubt very much it costs more than $2 a bowl

Add a glass of 1% milk to wash it all down w/....thats Livin :drool:

You keep telling yourself that.

high protein, low fat
You feel full longer and give your body the energy

examples - scrambled eggs with spinach
- no fat plain greek yogurt with a handful of almonds and blueberries

nix the banana and double up on the walnuts. bananas are like sugar bombs and your body will process quickly and want more. Like throwing paper on a fire. try it and see

I like doing the plain yogurt with granola and some almonds or walnuts mixed in. I need to remember to have my wife pick that stuff up at the market. I've been eating Cinamon Toast Crunch and Frosted Flakes, with the occasional Pop Tart thrown in for good measure lately. Weekends are usually eggs and grapefruit or melon.

Three eggs, over easy, sausage links and home fries. Wheat toast and coffee, at Leos.:jump1:

You smoke them while your drinking your 4 cups of coffee, silly

Bananas are high in Potassium...I try and have 1 a day....this is my one a day for that day

try pretty much oatmeal with cinnamon and benefiber sprinkled on and mixed in.2 cups of tea with 2 tea bags 1 green tea and i black tea.then i have 1/2 whole wheat bagel with peanut butter and blackberry jelly.take alot of vitamins etc at same time.probably takes me about 10 minutes then proceed to bathroom.

I was going to put em basically the exact same things, 'cept
scrambled w/ morels if you got em.

the greek w/ blueberries and just a touch of honey or agave. haven't tried it with almonds, but will.

patented family recipe. although any hung over person has made this wether they remember it or not.

The egg McAllanbrook:

-over easy egg
-bacon
-english muffin
-A1 steak sauce

(if you wanna get crazy, some fried tomato, this is ususally saved for christmas morning)

Steel Cut Oats ,,with walnuts,,raw almonds,unsalted sun flower seeds .. Ready for the world !!!

Slimfast shake every morning fills ,me up till lunch

Steamed clams and ice cold Bud at 6:00 a.m. in Mattapoisett. Visiting friends when I was a kid and my buddy wakes me up a 4:00 a.m. to go clamming. Chit I said it early. I was glad to crawl out of his kids sleeping bag though that smelled of pee.

Came back with the clams and his wife Cathy cooked them up and we ate them all before the kids were up and polished off the six-pack too boot.

Stomach couldn't do that now. But I have to tell you, I remember how delicious they were to this day.

On the oatmeal thing... Instant oatmeal with a cup of fruit cocktail keeps me going. A little maple syrup for the sugar high. Most days its what looks good on the roach coach.

Yogurt,Ice tea and a fiber bar every morning.Not healthy but it holds me over until at least ten when I take my first break.

Had the great Brunch yesterday with some family members. I baked a nice Cook's Hamand made Belgian waffles and my uncle did a huge thing of scrambled eggs. Being unable to choose either , I put Strawberries and whipped cream on half my waffle and butter and pure Vermont maple syrup on the other half. OJ , and coffee to wash it all down. The waffles were delicious (with both toppings) :). Those Cook's Brand Hams are also really good quality.

The only thing missing were the Cheesy potatoe patties I like to make. Kind of like mashed potatoes with lots of shredded cheese mixed in then fried in a fry pan like a hamburger patty until the cheese melts then develops a brown kind of crust on the outside. I love to make the cheesy potatoes for breakfast when I go camping!

I started eating Cheerios for breakfast before I learned to talk. I called them Yowas. I figure I have averaged eating Cheerios for breakfast 5 days a week. Would be higher but never got up in college. So based on my age and eating an average of 2.5 bowl fulls each morning, I figure I have consumed, 35,000 bowls of Cheerios. Hence I used to be known as the Cheerios Kid.

So if they find out that too many Cheerios will kill you, then I am totally F *ucked.

note- I even bring a small box when I go to Cuttyhunk.

:rotf2:sounds dee-lish...but probably not "good"(as in healthy)

The best thing about Cheerios is that when you only have a half a bowl left, you can tear the box up into little pieces and eat them. They taste exactly the same as their contents.:rotf2:

probably not! :)

Good thread.
Healthy breakfast keep us active all the day.
Healthy breakfast gives us energy and potential
to do certain tasks in a day.I also do breakfast with
bread eggs and with a fresh fruit juice.

Banana and whey protien shake.

I found a good snack food is Craisins. I get a huge bag at BJ's. The Craisins have such a strong taste that you only eat a little and you get satisfied. A big bag can last me 2 or 3 weeks with just a small handful every night.

I'm convinced that certain foods really dense in flavor satisfy your taste buds without eating a whole box of whatever. Unlike cookies where one chases the next one , strong tatsing fruits seems to just satisfy you after a little. In addition to craisins , I find Kiwi fruit that way. After a Kiwi or 2 , I seem to feel satisfied.

sunflower seeds (not roasted) do that too...

and your right on the cookies...they are like Beer
have one and you want another.... to no end

the more you chew your food... it creates a substance that
satisfies your appetite... shutting it down

The woman that does modeling for me (she's 42) eats oatmeal made with water and two protein bars during the day. Veggies and steamed fish for dinner a crazy protein/carb pre-workout drink, and then lifts weights, and watches t.v. for a couple hours on the treadmill. No booze, no ice cream, no popcorn at the movies, no special occasion departures, no days off.
To really make a difference, you have to pretty much give up everything. It's a radical decision. I've lost about 70 pounds and kept it off for few years now. But it wasn't until she pointed out to me how much you have to give up to really make it work - just about everything.
That's why people remain half-fat: because they only take half measures.

But you can consume all the eye candy you want! :) Very attractive.

With the boomers aging, women in their 40's who are in shape are very much in demand as personal trainers. I read an article about it called, "The Jillian Micheals Effect."
Women see someone close to their own age who is in shape, and it's a much more convincing sell than some chicky who is 23. I'd tell her to open a studio to help people lose weight, but like most good-looking women she's missing the empathy chip.

Some people have to cut WAY back for results since they burn so little off.

Quantity is often overlooked, even when the food is "healthy". It's why you can easily have fat vegetarians.

And then of course there's the issue that as a nation we are just overweight and lazy.

The CDC obesity chart always is tough to comprehend.

Click play and witness the ever growing fatness:

Obesity and Overweight for Professionals: Data and Statistics: U.S. Obesity Trends | DNPAO | CDC (http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/trends.html)

Very true.
If you're fat now, and you want to actually be thin (not just less fat) you're looking at radical lifestyle changes. I think if the truth were more widely known about just how much effort it took to actually be thin, the diet industry would take a whopping hit.
Being fat was by far the worst experience of my life - people treat you like sh_t or like you're not there.

She is easily waaay better looking than most 21-25 year old women hands down.

That being siad I agree with the no days off mentality. :uhuh:
