    I have about four "go-to" breakfasts right now that I cycle through:

    1.) Smoothie. Right now that usually means: banana; peanut butter; plain yogurt; handful of spinach; ground flaw seed; wheat germ; splash of milk.

    2.) Homemade frozen breakfast burritos - egg; black beans; salsa; cheddar; flour tortilla.

    3.) Hardboiled egg or scrambled egg with slice of whole wheat toast and avocado drizzled with lemon juice and sprinkled with salt OR with a (homemade) Banana-Bran Muffin.

    4.) Steel-cut oats made with toasted oats, milk, and chopped dates. (When it's colder out.)

    Always with a cup of tea.

    I try to have oatmeal a few times a week with a yogurt tossed in for flavor and it's surprisingly good :) Otherwise, I usually have a slice of homemade white toast with peanut butter and a banana.... Cut totally down on coffee and switched to green tea :)

    these are amazingly easy to make ahead, and are a great way to get in low fat protein. You can keep the egg/milk mixture and add WHATEVER YOU WANT to make it interesting.

    This morning I made a sandwich with one quiche, english muffin, and a slice of cheese and bacon. Much better than McD's!

    For me, multigrain cheerios are best! When I started my "journey" almost 2 months ago I ate fruit and yogurt every morning for almost 3 weeks and stayed under 1600 calories every day. Did not lose an ounce!! Then I thought about the last time I lost weight and realized that I was eating 2 cups of multigrain cheerios with skim milk every morning then. Went back to that, and BAM, weight loss. Maybe the grains are what does it? I don't know. I just know it works for me :)

    12 oz of a protein shake containing: low cal juice, almond milk, bananas, strawberries, blueberries, peaches or pinapple (strained), whey protein powder, greek yogurt and spinach.

    In the master batch, I put 8 oz of each (spinach 4 - 8) into the blender and mix. In the morning, I will give it a quick blend and pour. It will usually supply me with about 4 days of breakfast w/o much thinking.

    "Usually" it carries me to my late morning snack.

    2 pieces of turkey bacon + 2 eggs/2 egg whites scrambled together + 1 cup unsweetened almond milk = a great tasting, protein packed breakfast that keeps me full for hours...for under 300 calories.

    I second the refrigerator oats suggestion. Cold breakfasts are great during the summer, and I prefer the taste of soaked oats to cooked oats anyway. In the morning, I sprinkle a little dry cereal on top before eating, for crunch!

    I was never a breakfast eater before but I started having my morning meal religiously a few months ago. I had my yearly physical in January, and my cholesterol was elevated so I started having oatmeal with a sliced banana every day. Cholesterol came down 37 points in 4 months :)
    I also have my breakfast with 1-2 large glasses of water. I'm almost never hungry anymore until lunch (whereas before, I'd be starving by 10am, and I'd binge big time at lunch)
