I only have a few go-to breakfasts like oatmeal and whole wheat bagels and fruit. I notice Special K makes hot cereals. Anyone tried them? What are your ideas?

Well I do homemade smoothies in the single serve blenders. I but everything in the blender the night before, turn it on in the morning after I shower and by the time I'm dressed it's ready. I usually do veggies (kale, spinach etc) with a piece of fruit, chia/flax seeds and coconut water.

I like making egg "mcmuffins":
1 whole wheat english muffin
3 egg whites (nuked in a coffee cup to make a "patty")
1-2 tbs salsa

Place egg patty on toasted english muffins and serve with salsa. I used to add cheese, but I don't even miss it. Calorie count comes out to be 190 or so or a bit more if you add cheese.

Also rice cakes with 2tbs peanut butter and a tbs low sugar jam/jelly is a good breakfast.

Pepper & onion frittata

1/4 of a sweet onion (vadalia)
1/4 of a sweet red pepper
1/4 of a green pepper
1/2 tsp olive oil
1 whole egg
1 egg white
1tbl water
1/4 oz shredded cheddar cheese
3 tbl Red cactus salsa

In a small non stick skillet, saute onion and peppers in the olive oil until they begin brown. Beat the egg, egg white and water together and pour over the vegetables, allow the fritatta to continue cooking until the bottom is firm. Place the pan under your broiler to continue cooking the top of the fritta, when the top begins to brown, remove from the broiler and top with the cheese, return to the broiler until cheese is bubbly. Cool the frittata for a few minutes before you remove it from the pan. Top with salsa and enjoy. This can be doubled, tripled, or quadrupled. Depending on the number of people you are serving or the amount of callories you want to eat.

1 c spinach leaves
6 grape tomatoes sliced

1/2 grape fruit

OR I have my version of Mcmuffin
1 whole grain english muffin

2 slices of turkey bacon or some mornings I use 1 morning star veggie sausage
1/2 grapefruit

OR I have a breakfast burrito
1 LaBanderita low fat low carb tortilla
2 egg whites
1/2 slice american cheese
1.5 slice turkey bacon
2T salsa
1/2 grapefruit

I get up at 4:30 and exercise till 5:00 then jump in shower. I usually eat breakfast by 5:30 and I eat a snack around 10:00 and don't get lunch until 1:00, so I need to have a lot of protein at breakfast or I'm starving by the time I get to have my snack. I usually have a vanilla greek yogurt with mixed berries for snack and that keeps me full till lunch.
All these breakfast ideas are between 200 and 230 calories for the whole breakfast and VERY FILLING

Hi. If you have a slow cooker, core some apples, add to each apple a tablespoon of granola cereal and drizzle a teaspoon of honey over each apple. Pop those babies in the slow cooker for three hours on low and you'll have some delicious baked apples that are filling and good for you for minimal calories. You can have it as a treat as well refrigerate once they've cooled down after removing from the slow cooker.

Homemade smoothies, hard boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, fruit, and granola.

Honeydew & cottage cheese is one of my favorites, it's sweet and really satisfying. I usually will have that w/ a cup of coffee.

Yeah I aim for a big breakfast but if you don't have time, you don't have time.
I like an omelette. I (when I was at work) used to make it up the day before & heat it up. 1 egg, the rest egg whites, bean sprouts, mushrooms, onion, peas, ham. Voila! Yummy yummy.

I need over 100g of protein/day so my breakfasts NEED to have a decent amount of protein which means most cereals and oatmeal is out. I usually do bacon or ham and eggs, cottage cheese and berries, Quest bars or protein shakes.
