    What do you normally have for breakfast?

    1 cup Kashi Honey Puffed cereal - 120 calories
    1 cup 1% MF Milk - 110 calories

    Total = 230 calories.. I usually add in some strawberries or blueberries or both and that adds about 50 calories or so. So a good breakfast for under 300 calories.

    I don't really have a "normally" breakfast, but what I had this morning for breakfast was: Weetabix (with milk & cinnamon) warmed in the microwave - add some raisins and almonds. A yogurt and a coffee.

    Overall, it's about 339 calories, but has all the food groups in it and means I'm ready for lunch as my next meal as I don't have a sugar spike mid morning.

    But I was watching something on television last night and the nutritionist recommended a soup for breakfast. Clear broth and lots of veggies - not your normal breakfast fare, but it will warm you up. Is easy to reheat, eat on the run, gives you lots of vitamins and minerals. I might try this next week - I'll make the soup over the weekend and see how it goes. My goal for meals is to have a meal with a fruit and two meals with two servings of veggies every day (so I guarantee I get my 5-10 daily), so the soup could be one of my veggie meals and I could do fruit with lunch instead.

    If you're looking for something different, you could do worse :P

    I have a *big* breakfast full of protein: 2 poached eggs on 1 slice of wholemeal bread and 2% natural organic yogurt topped with 1 tbsp honey and 60g blueberries. 405 calories, 21g protein.

    If I'm rushed I substitute the egg on toast for 50g chocolate weetabix minis and 125 ml skimmed milk. That's 100 calories more.

    My usual breakfast is muesli, with either blueberries and/or banana and/or strawberries.... with a nice dollop of natural no fat yoghurt... adding honey and cinnamon makes this *such* a tasty breakfast...
    I have about 180g of muesli - which means this is about 600cals in total.

    Cut down a bit on the muesli and it's not so calorific - and maybe use skimmed milk (I use semi) but it fills me up for the entire morning! (When calories are needed!)
    I've never been one for snacking really - but I don't feel any hunger til at least midday.

    I usually have the normal 3/4 cup of cereal with skim milk. My favorite cereals are Blueberry Morning, Special K Chocolatey Delight, and Honeynut Crunch with Almonds. My favorite breakfast is when my husband makes me an egg and cheese muffin: 1 egg, 1 slice of 2% American cheese and a smart start 100 calorie english muffin. YUM!

    Here are some of my common breakfasts. I know its suppose to be the biggest of the day, but its my smallest!

    2 fried eggs

    oatmeal

    cereal, healthy kinds

    if i'm really hungry i make my own breakfast sandwich, 2 whole wheat toast with a bit of butter, inside i have a fried egg, a slice of cheese and a bit of ketchup. Total 465 calories.

    i find a breakfast high in protein keeps me not hungry until lunch time...

    I either do scrambled eggs (one whole egg, one egg white) either alone or with mushrooms and spinach, toast, and some fruit. Or ceral. This morning, I had two plain rice cakes with some peanut butter and honey on top, greek yogurt, and a cup of tea.Very filling, and healthy.

    on work days, i always have 2 slices of toast with peanut butter, a small bowl of yogurt (about 1/4 cup), and a mug of water. this makes up 254 calories. Some days, i make the toast into a PB and banana sandwich, which adds another 90.

    On Saturdays, i fry 2 eggs (in spray, not grease) and have 1 slice of toast, unless it is to be an active day then i go for 2. Some days i make a waffle, or French toast, an omelet, etc. It depends on what the day is to bring, and how much time i have. I add a bowl of yogurt and a mug of water and yum! Usually Sundays, i have a bowl of cereal and milk.

    I can cook quick, and i have quick microwave methods for eggs, i have made these things on workdays, but i usually do not have the energy to do it, and toast and PB is easy! :-) I usually cook on the weekends because i have 15 minutes or so to go through everything to see what i have and cook from there.
