I loooove porridge, but i normally make 60g worth (vice the pack suggestion of 40g), and to make it an ever bigger bowl i add in 100g of frozen berries. Bulks it out for only about 35cals.
I also add a shaking of cinnamon as it is supposed to balance blood sugar/insulin.

 

[huwiesmummy]

I also do.more then suggested I go 50g and add stuff. I make brekkie 300ish cals every day.

Ill have to stick to eggs x

PS. Porridge doesn't fill me up either, just makes me hungrier than before I had it! xx

I love porridge, been a staple in my diet for a long time, eat it for breakfast and if I get hungry in the evening too....love it blueberries!

Porridge, cereal, bread - It all fills me up for a short time and then within 2 hours, I feel ravenous again. Could chomp on the keyboard at work....

I can have porridge for breakfast, about 7ish, and be ok til about 11, if I have lots in it, like nuts and sultanas. The Alpen style porridge is good enough for me, but the Oats So Simple style stuff doesn't work so well.

Eggs for me plz. With a slice of low bacon!

 

[sparklinglashes]

Must admit that I do love eggs too, my ultimate comfort food, anytime, any place, any where and any how! Lol

My other fave is porridge oats mixed with low fat greek yoghurt and berries.
Find that a really filling eat at work brekkie.

Saying that scrambled egg on Burgen toast is my favourite brekkie.

I eat at work just before i finish my night shift so have to have oats then.
