Weight Watcher Easy Breakfast Ideas

weight watchers breakfast ideas, weight watchers breakfast recipes

As I keep going along my Weight Watchers journey, I’ve discovered something about me. I eat better and stay on track easier when I have a decent breakfast each morning. However, along that discovery I’ve also realized that I hate waking up early to cook.

A few weeks back I shared what I typically eat in a day. Now that holds true, but I found myself starting to slip when it comes to lunch. As I mentioned in that post, lunch is my hardest meal of the day. I work in an office with my Dad so a lot of times I’ll grab something to eat with him or meet a friend for lunch. And in our small town there aren’t a lot of healthy options, and you can only have a fast food salad so many times before they start tasting gross.

So I’ve been working really hard, but found myself so hungry my lunchtime that all my logic and preplanning would go right out the window. I had to figure something out…

That’s when one morning after waking up too early, I spent a few minutes cooking scrambled eggs. Now I’m not usually a big egg fan, but this morning they tasted alright and by lunch time I found myself sticking to my plan.

So I did it again. And again I found myself hungry, but not irrationally starving by lunchtime.

Here I am a week into my new found breakfast plan and decided it was time to find some yummy breakfast ideas that don’t take forever to make and don’t always involve an egg.

Here’s my go-to this week:
1 scrambled egg
1/2 ounce fiesta shredded cheese
1/2 teaspoon butter

This is only 1 SmartPoint and really does help keep me satisfied until close to lunch. It’s not a lot of food, but for someone who didn’t eat breakfast a week ago… it’s enough.

Here are some great Weight Watchers breakfast recipes I found on Pinterest or ones I’ve made before that I’m going to try over the next few days:

One SmartPoint Pancakes from No.2 Pencil

Two SmartPoints Egg in A Basket

3 SmartPoints Egg Sandwich (1 bagel thin, 1/2 teaspoon butter, 1 fried egg)

Make-Ahead Individual Ham, Cheese & Veggie Frittatas by The Taste Place

5 SmartPoints Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal Muffins by Crazy For Crust
