I'm 48, and weigh 240 pounds. I'm on a weight-loss plan but I'm struggling with what is my best options for breakfast. I typically have low-fat yogurt with granola each morning — but think I should lay off the dairy. What's a good protein for me? Are eggs alone good enough? I don't have time each morning to make a meal.

You don’t have to give up dairy. Just rotate so that you have balance and variety in your morning.

A:

You don’t have to give up dairy. Just rotate so that you have balance and variety in your morning.

Here are a few options for breakfast that are quick and healthy:

  • 1 cup oatmeal with 2 tbsp of pecans and ½ banana
  • Omelet on the go: 2 eggs (or preferably 1 egg yolk and 2 egg whites) cooked in a small amount of healthy oil (olive or canola), with some vegetables stuffed into a small whole wheat pita pocket
  • 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt with 2 tbsp of almonds and ½ cup blueberries
  • 1 whole wheat English muffin with 2 tbsp of peanut butter
