Breakfast ideas (apart from toast or cereal).

Porridge mainly or sometimes homemade bread with honey and cinnamon.

..not hungry in the mornings..

During the week I usually start my morning with two white coffees, then have a piece of fruit 9am(ish) and lunch after 1pm(ish).

During the weekend, it's slightly different - I tend to down five cups of coffee first thing . Then around 11am I usually have an early lunch...

I don't like cereals and toast doesn't fill me up. I have yogurt nearly every morning, but I also like eggs at weekends.

All the traditional breakfast foods seem like junk food to me, all high in sugar and low in protein. You should eat protein at every meal, it's what keeps you full up. As evidenced by Gigervamp's husband.

That depends; I’d say keep your diet varied. Complete proteins are found in animal foods such as meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk, and milk products such as yogurt and cheese. Soybeans are the only plant protein considered to be a complete protein.

Plant proteins can be combined to provide all of the essential amino acids and form a complete protein. Examples of combined, complete plant proteins are rice and beans, milk and wheat cereal, and corn and beans.

A diet high in meat can contribute to high cholesterol levels or other diseases such as gout. A high-protein diet may also put a strain on the kidneys.

I'm not saying your diet is too high in protein by the way, I just thought I'd point this out.

I have Breakfast every day without fail. Usually it will be either Weetabix, Alpen or Wholemeal Toast.

I did go for years without breakfast but now, after a diet overhaul resulting in me losing nearly 9 stone in weight in the past year, I couldn't imagine a day without it!

Wow! Do you mind me asking, what did you do to lose the weight?

(I am embarking on a weight loss campaign myself to lose 5 stone. )

Poached egg on toast and HM banana and apple juice smoothie for me on weekdays, with a nice cup of tea and a sit down before work- huge fry up greasy spoon style at weekends (usually fills me up till teatime).

i'll have weetabx and throw in some porridge ; bran flakes, a few seeds and raisins whatever is handy, and i like kippers of a weekend.

Another porridge fan here, although i love mine with a spoonful of jam so not as healthy as some, toast just doesn't fill me up the way porridge does!
