Trying a Healthier Breakfast Today

I’ve been feeling a bit insecure since moving to the USA because I gained some weight and my belly feels bigger. So today, I decided to watch what I eat. For breakfast, I skipped rice and had: 2 boiled eggs, warm water, bread with peanut butter, berries, and an apple. It felt good to start the day lighter and healthier. What do you usually eat for breakfast when you want something healthy?

I'm not much of a breakfast person and not very healthy. If I eat, I usually go with eggs, sausage, toast and orange juice to wash it down.

That sounds like a classic breakfast combo! Even if breakfast isn’t your thing, it looks tasty. Do you ever mix it up with fruit or something lighter, or do you usually stick to the hearty stuff?

@annierose if I am hungry, I will make a couple pieces of toast just to have something or very rare a banana

@Bensen32 Yes, I get that! Sometimes a little toast or a banana is enough to start the day.

That is a very healthy breakfast. You were wise to get the protein with the eggs and peanut butter. I try to get protein in the morning too.

@annierose Well, an omelette with ham, cheese, peppers, and onions is my favorite, but I don’t often cook that. So I generally get Greek yogurt, which has a lot of protein, and add things like blueberries, some nuts, maybe granola…

Thanks, Amber! I’m trying to be more mindful about protein lately. What’s your favorite way to get protein for breakfast?

@AmbiePam That sounds delicious! My husband loves to do omelettes too. Blueberries and nuts sound like a great combo. I might try that tomorrow!

I usually eat a pre-made breakfast sandwich that combines sausage, egg and cheese on a croissant for breakfast. I have to eat something or my morning meds will give me an upset stomach. It's not very "healthy" but it keeps me from feeling like I'm going to throw up a couple hours after taking my meds. Sometimes I will cook breakfast if my daughter suggests she'd also eat if I make something. Believe me, that doesn't happen often.

I have yogurt and fruit often. Or cottage cheese and yogurt. Scrambled eggs with sauteed veggies like zucchini, onion, mushrooms, etc.

I must have some kind of protein for breakfast followed by some carbohydrates.

That sounds like a good balance! I’m trying to include more protein too. What’s your favorite go-to protein for breakfast?
