Breakfast / Diet / My Fitness Pal Questions

Luckie519 · April 2013

So, I had been going WW and have lost 38 lbs. I hit a plateau and the past couple of months I have been not really following a diet plan or exercising. I have managed to gain about 5 lbs back. No biggie really, just want to get back on track. So, I decided to start using My Fitness Pal.

So, my main issue is breakfast. On days I work, I am up at 4am and eat once I get to work 5:45am. I normally have cereal or an english muffin with fruit, but I am still hungry after this. I normally eat lunch at 11am, some days I am staring at the clock by 10am counting down until 11am.

Anyways, I need some suggestions on what to fill me up a little better for breakfast, but not be full of calories, since this is what My Fitness Pal watches. Or a suggestion of a small snack sometime in the middle maybe around 8:30/9 that will help hold me over. TIA!

You could hard boil eggs the night before and eat 2 or 3 egg whites with your breakfast.

Greek yogurt is filling.

Oatmeal fills me better than regular cereal.

I use MFP, and I really have good luck with making the 'Healthy 3 Ingredient Cookies' from SkinnyTaste. I add Peanut Butter to mine, which ups the calories a little, but they keep me feeling full. I usually make a batch

Sounds like you need some protein with breakfast.

The smoothie is a good idea.

Also, you can make ahead a batch of eggs and reheat in the AM. I love scrambling eggs, peppers, and onions seasoned with a bit of salt, pepper and cumin. Then re

Smoothies are a great snack, but will not leave you full for long since they don't take any time to digest.

I would DIE if I had that much time between meals

I second adding some protein peanut butter on the English muffin would be easiest, and the egg muffins someone mentioned are really good and easy!

Calculate the points for things you put in your smoothie individually.

My morning smoothie is usually 1/2 c. Frozen sliced peaches, 1/2 c. Frozen mango, handful of spinach, and raspberry yogurt. Add ice. Yum. I also think I've seen smooth

I'm not a fitness expert but why are you not eating a snack in between meals?

I eat 5 times a day.

Oatmeal is a great option for breakfast.

I usually eat a snack around 9:30 am....a small greek yogurt or an apple with pea
