    When I'm home I have Quaker Old Fashioned oatmeal with raisins or blueberries for breakfast--fast and easy.

    My breakfast staples:
    Yogurt
    Fresh or frozen fruit
    Eggs (usually hard boiled, do a batch ahead of time and leave in fridge)
    Cheerios, Wheetabix or Special K cereal With cashew milk or light vanilla soy milk.
    English muffin with peanut butter.
    Cottage cheese

    All of above goes with coffee.

    If you're not hungry in the morning then you don't have to eat, meal/calorie timing is a preference thing and nothing more :) I don't usually eat before noon and that works well for me.

    Otherwise if you're looking for quick and easy-Greek yogurt is a good one. You can add granola, oats or ground flax seed in it too.

    Personally, I make a green smoothie for breakfast. It is fast, it is easy to "eat" if you're not feeling hungry, and it gives me absurd amounts of energy. An example of this would be 2 handfuls of greens (I rotate greens, but could be spinach, parsley, chard, mizuna, kale, etc..), one tomato, one mini cucumber, sometimes part of an avocado for reducing froth/adding fat, and some sort of fruit. I usually go for sweeter fruits like banana, pineapple, grapes..

    If I am hungry and want food I can actually chew, then my staple breakfast is two blocks of original shredded wheat (not sweetened) with almond milk, berries, nuts and honey. (berries and nuts rotate for variety sake)

    I really like making breakfast wraps. My current favorites are 2 eggs, black beans, spinach, shredded cheese and salsa. The other is 2 eggs, spinach, feta cheese and hot sauce.

    I wake at 3 and don't eat until around 10ish, so sometimes it's breakfast foods, (oats with nuts and fresh fruit or eggs with meat and cheese), sometimes its more a brunch type snack, (hummus with pita's and grilled chicken etc). It doesn't matter what you eat, so eat what you like.

    My go-to breakfasts:

    An egg sandwich (1 egg + 1 egg white, cheese, center cut bacon) on toast or an English muffin.

    Greek yogurt with berries and granola.

    Shredded wheat with berries and milk.

    A granny smith apple with cheddar cheese (or peanut butter) and a glass of milk.

    It is super quick because you're just heating the potatoes up. In a nice hot pan I can have breakfast ready in 5-7 minutes. The 2 eggs(140), potato(70), butter(51), fruit(pear, 57), and benefiber(15) is usually around 330 calories, give or take a few calories depending on which fruit I have.

    Those must be some tiny pears and potatoes..

    I weigh out the food. 100g for the pear, and 95g for the potato. I'm just using what the database is giving me.

    I do a chocolate Premier Protein shake from Costco 160 calories and 30 grams of protein and one ounce of walnuts. Sometimes I add a piece of fruit with that depends upon what I have in the house. Fills me up. It's easy to eat in the car on the way to work and it help me reach my high protein goals.

    Been shopping today and stocked up with a few of the suggested items like Greek yoghurt, muffins and pitta breads for quick and easy through the week. Def having eggs and lean bacon tomorrow though as a Sunday treat. I know someone suggested pre cooking the scrambled egg the night before so might try that as well for a weekday (never thought of it before )
    Thanks for all the replies. Really helps keep you focused when there's so much support.

    Oatmeal is ok, and very good for fiber, but I really like making a bigger dent in my protein and fat macros in the morning.
