    My breakfast almost every day is from Dunkin Donuts: bacon, egg, and cheese wake-up wrap (180 cal) and a large hot black coffee. Gets me through the morning until lunch 6 hours later...

    Yes, take advice from the guy that doesn't make breakfast. Lol

    I jest. Society is funny.

    Hahaha! Well, it's quick, not bad for me, and gets me going. Now, if you asked me last year, it would've been a ham, egg, & cheese on a sesame seed bagel, blueberry muffin, and a large regular coffee... at a WHOPPING 1110 calories!!

    My go-to breakfast this week is half and half steel cut oats and Red River cereal. A half cup of each in four cups of water. I'll add dried fruit of some kind. Bring to a boil the night before and turn off the heat. In the morning, the cereal is plumped and absorbed all the water. I eat a cup at a time with yogurt.

    I don't eat a low cal breakfast, but I normally have a 2-egg omelet with feta and vegetables (usually a green and something else--today spinach and broccoli), plus some other kind of protein (today, smoked salmon, often greek yogurt), and some green beans I wanted to use up on the side (I'd often have fruit instead).

    My overnight oats are really low-cal and quite filling.

    -20g rolled oats
    -57g greek yogurt (I'm using Chobani non-fat Strawberry)
    -1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
    -3/4 tsp chia seeds (it registers on the scale as 1g)
    -3g chocolate chips added on in the morning

    150 cal, 23g carbs, 3g fiber, 8g protein, 3g fat

    It's a really good combination for me.

    I tend to rely on something like a bullet proof coffee. Coffee with a tsp coconut oil, coconut cream or whipping cream, and a scoop of protein powder. It is usually between 180 and 300 calories depending on the amount of oil or cream used.

    Whey protein in coffee? That's a new one...how does heat affect the whey, and what is the consistency of the finished product?

    I might try that.

    It's better with casein rather than whey I've found. Casein gets kind of creamy. I don't put any milk, just 15g of the powder. Morning coffee has 50-60 calories and 11g protein.

    Chicken sausage links, fruit and English muffin with a little butter or peanut butter. Eggs and a mini bagel, orange juice.
    Sandwich of wheat toast, over easy egg, slice of ham or Canadian bacon and laughing cow wedge, hot tea
    Smoothie and a handful of good granola

    I like to keep it around 300 calories, plenty of protein, and 10 minutes or less to make.
