Best breakfast:
3 strips bacon
2 eggs anyway
2 slices toast
homefries
Glass of OJ
Healthy, maybe not but the best in my opinion. The question should be:
What is the healthiest breakfast food? Best is a subjective term in regards to a persons preferences as you can see from the above comments.
Healthiest? Any fruit, yogurt with granola, whole grain cereals,etc.
Different question, different results.
Mike is scientifically accurate, but he forgot the coffee...
Will fuel you all day, if absolutely necessary...
Avocado
Diet Coke
followed by vanilla protein shake shortly thereafter.
yum.
Sharon of South Carolina. What!? Watching CNN? You must have just moved to South Carolina, right? No self respecting South Carolinian would be caught watching CNN when Faux News is available.
I agree with Undercurrent....been eating waffles with peanut butter and syrup and a tall glass of milk for years...yummy!
I microwave oatmeal in a 2 cup measuring cup, so that it can foam up but not spill over. I can make 2 servings in the measuring cup. I add chopped up Walmart's Tropical Trailmix to the oatmeal and water before I microwave it. The trailmix has dried papya, pineapple and apricots, as well as almonds, cashews and raisins.
1 JD sausage delite and a cup of green tea.
1 poached egg cooked in a microwave in one of those polymer egg poachers
1 english muffin
1 cup of coffee
small glass of oj
multivitmin, omega -3 pill. vitamin C pill
small slice of lean ham (size of the muffin) on the muffin with the egg
thats it then more coffee at work 2 or 3 cups with equal and skim milk
Since starting my day this way I have lost 75 lbs I started doing this right after my divorce 18 months ago.. I am very happy and feel great
I usually have a coffee and 2 cigarettes for breakfast.
I see that you said oatmeal and nuts as part of a good morning breakfast. What about for those folks who do not like oatmeal or nuts, what is your suggestion for them?
Thanks!
Hey there Doc,
Best breakfast possible:
3 egg-white omelete with red peppers, a little chopped onion and garlic, and spinach/kale to taste
A bowl of steel cut oatmeal with flax-seed, mixed fruit, and a drop of honey
And wash it all down with a tall, cold glass of low fat milk
All of these breakfasts sound great. I'm hungry just reading them
The ideal breakfast for me most mornings, as an over 40, with hyprothroidisim, is a power shake that consists of: 1/2 cup of frozen blueberries, 2 tbls of flax seed oil, celery, 1 carrot, 1 clove of garlic, 1 banana and a cup of frozen kale. Not the most tasty breakfast however, it has helped me to shed some pounds! I often opp for an 2 egg white omelet, with green onions, garlic, green peppers and a little low fat cheese. On the weekends, it's sometimes, grits, scrambled eggs with (evol) and low sodium turkey bacon!
Anything with eggs...I believe there should be a law under which you can't call breakfast as such unless there are eggs in it too.
A cup of cocoa and two slices of brown bread (plain). Make the cocoa from skim or 2 percent milk and dry cocoa from the baking section, sweetened with one teaspoon sugar. Tastes good and keeps the weight off.
A fresh from the chicken egg, fried with olive oil spray in a hole in a piece of whole grain bread. A clementine (orange) and a glass of what I call "yomilk"; Half a glass of yogurt mixed with half a glass of skim milk to make it drinkable. That is what my son and I eat every day for breakfast. Thank goodness for low cholesterol numbers. I don't know what I would do without my eggs.
Everyday for breakfast: old fashioned oatmeal with granola, strawberries, blueberries, raisins, sliced almonds, coconut and 2% organic milk, lowfat sausage patty or leftover chicken and 1 piece of fruit. Skip the juice.
For breakfast, I have one serving of Total cereal, then one serving of strawberries and bananas, two cups of whole milk, and 50 grams of walnuts. Its my favorite meal!
Anyone eat something similar, or have some recommendations?
Make sure you get protein and dont over do carbs and fat.
Protein tells your body its OK to burn fats and sugar. If you dont eat anything, your body closes down the burning process because it may be starving and that is a defense mech. to keep you alive.
Silver dollar pancakes (the size of a silver dollar), 1 egg whipped/1 tsp yogurt cheese, light fry (olive oil pan spray),2-3 slices of bacon (cooked in the oven), warmed maple syrup. fresh peach sliced into slivers,fresh blueberries. Coffe (homemade blend of african and jamaican) splendor,non dairy creamer(Liquid). While in your PJ's watching CNN
If affirmative action exists solely to force an employment balance that reflects the population as a whole, then it should end. If it exists to reduce institutionalized discrimination, then it makes sense.
Your "discussion", as usual, barely scratches the surface of a complex issue. How does the achievement - judged either as grades or career success - compare/contrast between those who were aided by affirmative action, and those who were not? You don't say.
Thanks guys!! Now you have made me quite hungry this morning! It's all your fault! BUT, peanut butter and maple?? lol Interesting combination! Undercurrent, altho it does sound quite strange, I may try it one day soon......for you! Thank you for the interesting idea!
Thanks for the breakfast tip/menu. I have all those items on my next shopping list. I also enjoy all those food items, so it should be easy. I live alone and can't finish up alot of fresh fruit, but I will get some of the frozen mixed fruit bags in the grocery freezer, I hope that will do. I also have to deal with diabetes, so will make an adjustment with some of the fruits.
2 pieces of french toast with cinnamon and vanilla in the egg mixture, and an over-easy egg in between the french toast while you eat it.
or
2 scrambled eggs cooked with italian seasoning and cheese, with toast
or
GOETTA with eggs
3 eggs sunny side up, 6 strips of bacon, 3 sausage patties, biskits n gravy and a pot of coffee. I call it a heart attack on a plate.
YUM!
Sorry Doc Gupta. I know you're adding up the cholesterol in all that.
Homemade waffles topped with peanutbutter and finished with maple syrup. Seriously, it's delicious.
