Need breakfast ideas please

[lilles]

I posted this in MM by mistake. I am tired of eating cereal, oatmeal and Greek yogurt. What are you eating for breakfast these days. Oh and I don't like eggs or sausage.

The day I realized I didn't have to eat "breakfast foods" for breakfast was the most liberating and freeing day ever lol. I no longer eat breakfast foods at all. I eat meat + fat + veggies for every meal, including breakfast. Most days, I eat leftovers from dinner for breakfast.

This. You can eat anything for breakfast. My H favors hunks of grilled chicken and crackers. (Not that I suggest that specific combo, but you get the idea.)

I like to make flatbread pizzas, with a small bit of sauce, mozzarella and turkey pepperoni.

I like to eat waffles with peanut butter, sometimes with sliced bananas on top.

I am also over dosing on oatmeal lately, so I have been eating a banana and a Kind bar.  Not the best, but could be worse.

I do this a lot, but sub out waffle for toasted ezekiel bread. Slice of toast, 1 tblsp of PB, 1/2 a banana. Everything else I do involves eggs. I go through a lot of eggs. There's no way I could do shakes without being a starving bitch. Shakes do nothing to satisfy my hunger.

almond butter and banana sandwiches
almond butter and strawberry preserves on an English muffin
(we don't do peanut butter, due to DH's hypothyroidism)

I'm curious what the peanut butter has to do with hypothyroidism? I have never heard of this before.

Highlight to see the answer:

Peanuts are very goitrogenic because they interfere with the iodine in the body, which can cause thyroid issues. Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli are similar.

I third this though I have to admit I've been hooked on overnight oats for weeks now mostly because it's easy to make and I've been working a lot lately.

If you have normal thyroid function, you don't need to worry too much about the goitrogenic properties of peanuts. I mean, don't eat a jar of peanut butter in a week, but it's not the worst thing you can do.

I have hypothroid

I did some reading about this. There is a lot of info saying that when these items are cooked, it looses the component that inhibits the thyroid. Lots say that since the peanuts are boiled for peanut butter, it isn't the same as eating raw peanuts. Of course it can have different effects on different people. I'll have to watch and see if I feel different on the weeks I don't have any peanut butter. Haven't seen anything in the past.

I eat half a turkey sandwich on whole wheat and a piece of string cheese. Normal breakfast food sucks. Unless its bacon.

Take this with a grain of salt because I'm not trying to lose weight or be super fit- just eat fairly healthfully.

I hate breakfast food. I make ww English muffin pizzas, ww waffles with peanut butter, and bean burritos with a bit of cheese, lots of salsa, and Greek yogurt on a ww tortilla. I also try to get a green vegetable in every day at breakfast. It's usually broccoli on the pizza (or raw with the waffle) and sautéed kale, chard, or collards with the tortillas. Sometimes I put sautéed spinach in the tortillas. I feel very virtuous when I have vegetables with breakfast

Hands down my favorite breakfast.
