I try to avoid high-carb breakfast foods that pack on the calories, such as pancakes and french toast--on most days.
Instead, I have a healthy 7-day breakfast plan, that I change up a bit for variety.
Here's how a typical week's worth of breakfasts looks for me:
Monday: Oatmeal or cereal, and fruit
Tuesday: Peanut butter or sliced avocado with whole wheat Wheat Thins
Wednesday: Eggs (scrambled, poached or hard boiled), usually with ham or Canadian bacon and/or a fruit cup
Thursday: Plain Greek yogurt with fruit
Friday: Fruit, cheese and nuts
Saturday: Homemade waffles, pancakes, french toast or egg casserole and fruit
Sunday: We usually go out to Perkins after Mass and have a late breakfast/lunch combination there
In having a weekly plan drawn up, I don't have to think too hard about what to make for breakfast, and I can plan ahead to ensure I always have the ingredients I need readily available.
I'm a proponent of 'breakfast is the most important meal of the day.' It's that meal that helps me get going, and gives me enough energy to last me until lunchtime.
