You’ve asked this omelette question before Kaylz because i remember you don’t like mushrooms and only you would have the prawns 😛

No the omelette question before was what to fill it with, this is what to serve it with 🙂 x
 
What do you guys generally eat for breakfast that keeps you filled? at the moment I'm having 2 slices wholemeal toast with 2 slices cheese, not only am I thoroughly fed up of this but I'm starting to feel hungry like 2 hours after :( x
Some days I will have 3 boiled eggs + 1 slice toasted Burgen with the crusts cut off ~ sliced into soldiers to dip in the eggs.🙂 Mug of coffee.
Other days its 2 fried eggs 2-3 rashers of bacon ~ mushrooms ( I know you don't like them K but you could skip these😛) 1 large tomatoe sliced ~ 1 slice of Burgen soya & linseed crusts cut off & fried ( experimenting with goose fat atm) Mug of coffee.
Other days its a bacon & omelette 2 slice Bergen toastie
I rarely eat cereals these days. x
 
At the moment at home, I'm alternating between toast and marmite, and a small bowl of cereal. Special K with berries is working quite well with me, although I can't have a big portion.

In the work canteen, I generally get egg on toast with bacon in the morning, which isn't the healthiest but definitely sorts me until lunch.
 
Must admit, brekky for me most days is just a slice of toasted Burgen with butter. I admit it's not that filling. Sometimes have a bit of cheese in it. Like mackerel on tomato sauce too which I have on a low carb muffin (recipe is somewhere on here). Sundays it's a bacon sarnie or a fry up.
 
Porridge nearly every morning before work (slow release of carbs) 🙂
See that doesn't work for me at all. Porridge sends my levels sky high then leaves me starving a couple of hours later. Shame because I do love it!
 
Nothing fills me, I'm a bottomless pit as we say around these parts. 🙂 What about cheese on toast with tinned tomatoes on top? That was a fave of ours back in the day when we had to watch the pennies. It would fill anybody up!
 
I alternate mainly between these three types of breakfast;
Porridge oats with almond milk, few seeds and nuts. Sometimes fruit on top.
Self made muesli (without raisins) soya flakes, nuts, seeds and almond milk.
Oat pancakes with half a banana and fresh lemon squeezed over them.

I don't like tomatoes lol x
 
I'm another porridge person. Jumbo oats, almond, soya or semi skimmed milk, with nuts, seeds, flaxseed, maybe blueberries or raspberries if I have them in. Often, for a change, I'll soak the oats in the fridge overnight (Bircher muesli style) and then have with a dollop of plain yogurt, toasted almonds, again maybe some fruit, chopped up pear. I find the chilled porridge very filling.
 
I'm experimenting with this issue myself at the moment. So far me most successful breakfast in terms of keeping the wolf from the door is a toasted Lidl roll, one half butter & marmite and the other peanut butter. Mind you as I use a pump I find that a multiwave bolus works best as it's so slow release and high in protein. If protein doesn't affect your levels then you're fine with it.
 
I have porridge most days for breakfast. Keeps me full until lunch.
 
I experimented with microwaved porage this morning, 2 sachets with milk, and Scottish style (with a bit of salt).Didn't seem to spike me and dropped from 4.4 just before it to 3.9 just before lunch at the forum meet.

Mmm... that sounds really good! Haven't had that in so long.

That's what I have nearly every day but just one pkt. Quite often miss lunch as well. Enjoy my tea 🙂
