    Cut the crust off 6 slices of your bread of choice, spray a 6 cup muffin tin and use the bread to line the cups. Half fill them with chopped ham, spinach, mushroom, corn, roasted capsicum... whatever floats your boat. Crack an egg into each of them (dont break the yolk unless you prefer them that way), top with some grated parmesan and oven bake until the egg is set.

    They are tasty, portable, good hot or cold, easily reheatable and easy to make in different varieties.
    This sounds really good--I'm definitely going to try!

    I don't think I could eat fried food in the morning even if I forced myself. Oatmeal with vanilla rice milk, and sometimes I add bits of dark chocolate. Best thing in the world. Then a little later I have some fruit or soy yogurt.

    Miso paste in some boiling water, lemon zest, fresh ginger root, bok choy, half a packet of udon noodles (and sometimes add about 1/4 block of tofu).

    Mmm... I have this for dinner too at the moment, with some thinly sliced white fish added as well as extra veg like courgette and red capsicum.

    How about- scrambled egg with a bunch of spinach sauteed and a bit of feta cheese rolled into a small tortilla or an english muffin.

    Cottage cheese or plain yogurt with some sort of fruit is one of my favorite too.

    The best thing I ever discovered about breakfast is that it's just whatever food you eat after not eating over night (i'e: breaking your fast). It does not have to be "breakfast food".

    It could be cheese, crackers and a few raw carrot sticks, or a plate of leftover salad with a chunk of fish or chicken on top. Or a cup of lentil soup. Or a small baked potato (microwaved) with salsa and cottage cheese. Or a ham sandwich. I like leftover potato and egg salad. Whatever is A) available, B) appealing to you, and C) not a total calorie or fat bomb, is fair game. For best results, include some protein food.....

    Free yourself from the tyranny of breakfast foods....... LOL

    I was going to say pretty much the same as this. I am not a huge breakfast food fan but in order to eat, sometimes you just have to eat.

    scrambled egg, a sausage (cooked, and cut up or crumbled) a slice of cheese (I like the Kraft Cracker Barrel Swiss slices) rolled into a spinach tortilla and grilled on a panini press.
    Great after a workout, and keeps me full for a long time.

    One of my favs is a toasted multi grain English muffin with a large poached egg, 2 slices of prosciutto, and 2 tbsp of mashed avocado.


    Omg, I believe this just might become my new fave! Thank you!

    Granola with fresh berries and Almond milk when I'm working. Usually eggs if I'm at home.

    I got this little breakfast sandwich maker for my birthday in April. You can make a healthier version of a McMuffin type sandwich at home.
    Takes 4 minutes to cook.
    Lately I use a multigrain english muffin, turkey bacon, thin sliced provolone cheese, and a whole egg. Under 300 calories, inexpensive, and you can make any number of changes to it. You could use just liquid egg whites, you could skip the meat and add veggies. One day I added a dollop of mango salsa and a couple shots of tabasco sauce. Yummm

    Steel cut oats with diced apple and toasted/dry roasted sesame seeds. I just finished mine for the morning! I make up a batch ahead of time and just heat it up.

    I make mine in a rice cooker, soaked the night before with 1 cup raisins, in the morning I add a diced apple. Hit the button to cook and its ready in 20 minutes, makes 4 servings I eat throughout the week. Simple and good for you.

    Another option is cream of wheat or oat meal and add in some jam or preservatives to flavor it up in place of higher calorie options. Maybe a banana on the side.

    I am on a high protein diet. I usually drink a protein shake, you can get them about anywhere, I buy mine at GNC. You could also have Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese with melba toast. Quaker has this Weight Control oatmeal in individual packets that is good as well.

    I have to change things up or I get bored. Good luck!

    I stole this idea from the Mother of All Cottage Cheese threads and eat it almost every single day for breakfast:

    1 cup of low fat cottage cheese
    1/2 cup of unsweetened apple sauce
    a whole bunch of cinnamon
    2 packets of splenda

    Good protein and carbs, not too many calories. Yum!
