Trying to get a bit of routine in my life and trying to eat a bit heather,

At the moment I either just don't bother with brekkie or grab some toast and jam at work!

So what can I have that's healthy, quick, tasty and filling?

That cost Paul McCartney a lot of money. wink

Porridge is a good suggestion, muesli is filling too. Can't think of much else thats both filling AND healthy...

make sure your breakfast (or in fact any other meal) doesn't contain any dairy products.

That's a bit odd and sounds like some kind of fad diet.

Anyway, I generally have toast with marmalade (wholemeal bread, olive based spread) or, if I'm working away from home, poached eggs on toast.

Turkey rashers (in place of bacon), toast, scrambled/poached egg & a few grilled mushrooms. Alternatively Turkey sausages, very healthy/low in fat but need some brown sauce to bring some taste out.

Yes, don't worry about eggs. Your liver will produce cholesterol anyway. Your brain is made of the stuff. You need it.

For myself, though I don't often eat breakfast, half a pint of milk and a bananana gives you two of the most important elements your body needs.

yes We're told a lot of crap about what we should be eating. Normally by, or funded by, those selling it to us.

This might be an eye opener for some:

I think I'll take the word of my cardiologist over what appears to be a nut-job website.
