healthy breakfast

hi
can someone suggest a really healthy breakfast

Take a nice bowl of "All Bran" and mix in a container of fat free yogurt of your favorite flavor. Then pour low fat soy milk over it. With a couple'o cups of strong black tea it is highly nourishing and cleans the system pretty well for a good start on the day.

AWOL

Okay, as upto this point there has only been one reply I thought I'd post my average breakfast here. And it could well horrify some of you you.

I'll put this into context before I horrify you with the food details: Firstly, (as I've mentioned elsewhere) my goal is to remain reasonably fit, without bulking up or losing weight, I'm reliably informed that I'm pretty obsessive about my body image. Next up, I'm a delivery man, so I spend a lot of time driving, lifting reasonably weighty items, and I do get the opportunity to put in a lot of short sprints and stair climbing during my day and that sort of thing. The job though has its downside; I find it easiest to just eat two main meals a day (not a brilliant situation), and snack during the day on fruit/veg (bananas, tomatoes, carrots, apples etc.), low calorie drinks, sugar-free gum etc..

So here's my breakfast – approx kcals first and rounded up...

200 kcal pint - ½ litre Protein Drink

60 kcal small glass (½ cup) of Grapefruit, cranberry, or (sometimes mixed) pomegranate juice

300 kcal porridge/muesli/allbran mix: I need to expand on this: This a a porridge base, just two heaped dessert spoons of porridge to one heaped dessert spoon of muesli (added before cooking) OR one heaped dessert spoon of Allbran (added after cooking). I make this up with water (not measured but I'm guessing around 1/3 to ½ pint), not milk and rather than add any sugar I'll raid the spice rack adding things like allspice, ginger, chilli power, nutmeg, cinnamon, cocoa (or a very nice low-fat sugar-free hot chocolate drink we have). Sometimes adding dried fruit (apricot, apple, blackberries, cranberries, whatever) or banana (again). What's important here is the quantity, while I'm talking about putting a lot in here, three dessert spoons of dry ingredients is less than most people would normally consume of such a mix.

350 kcal beans on toast: Toast sliced very thinly and with no butter or spread. Beans usually adding garlic and chilli, along with suitable veg that's in the fridge, that could be mushrooms, celery, tomatoes, peppers, basically whatever's going.

90 kcal two slices of bacon

Total: 1000 kcals approximately

While the basics stay pretty much the same day to day, there's a lot of variety available so long as I plan ahead. For a properly balanced diet there are some glaring omissions in my breakfast that I'll try and make up for in my evening meal. And If I cycle into work, I'll have a much much lighter breakfast then a protein drink when I reach work, and make sure I have extra fruit and veg to snack on during the day.

Once you've digested that little lot, I'd really appreciate your comments!

I rotate my meals.

One day, I'll have steel-cut oats and with a tablespoon of raisins, protein powder and some chopped walnuts.  The next is a shake with pineapple (1/2 cup) and greens & carrots along with a some nut butter and protein powder.  May have an egg white omlette with vegetables and salsa the following day.

I'm thinking about trying the Warrior Diet and eating small snacks throughout the day.  Seems like an interesting concept.

I don't know when this came about, but cold or hot sereal, regardless of their health qualities, are something I turn my nose at.

I do, on occassion, have a bowl of Wheaties for breakfast.  I don't mind them, but usually by 10:30- 11:00 I'm ready to eat the paint off the walls.

So, I will make scrambled egg burritos with a side of cantalope and tomato juice.  One of my favorite breakfasts is no more than a couple of sausage links, cantalope and 2% cottage cheese with a glass of tomato juice.

If in a hurry I have a protein shake with a banana.

These items seem to help me get to lunch.
