    My 2 new favs are Overnight Banana Bread Oatmeal(on MFP) and Bacon and Leek Crustless Quiche(see below)

    2 lg eggs
    2 egg whites (egg beaters work well for this)
    1 small can evaporated milk
    1 tsp mustard
    6 oz bacon or ham
    2 large leeks
    4oz crumbled goat cheese
    1 tsp dried thyme
    Ground Pepper to preference
    Chili powder or cayenne - optional

    heat oven to 400
    Coat 9" pie pan with cooking spray

    whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, mustard, thyme and pepper. fry bacon, save 1 tsp grease. Slice the white to light green part of leek lengthwise, then across making 1/4" half rounds. throw dark green parts away. rinse leeks in water to get all dirt out, then pat dry. add leeks to leftover bacon grease and saute until lightly browned on edges. chop/crumble bacon to less than 1 in pieces. (if using ham, use 1 tsp oil to quick saute it and then add 1 for the leeks)

    Add leeks to bottom of pie pan, top with bacon and goat cheese. Add egg mixture, give pan a little shake to make sure eggs get in between everything. bake in oven for 25-30 minutes until just set. serves 6 (i usually only get 4 out of it, it is soooo good!) It will keep for a few days in the fridge or you can freeze it. just reheat in microwave or eat cold. Optional item, add cooked potatoes for starch or toast on the side.

    I like the overnight oatmeal. Mix together 1 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup old fashion oats, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, and if I use frozen or dried fruit (dried cranberries or raisins, or frozen blueberries or raspberries) I mix those in right away too, and then cover and put in the fridge overnight. They next day I heat it in the microwave and add a sweetener (honey or sugar, or stevia, or splenda depends what I'm in the mood for) Today I added a 1/2 scoop of protein powder too.

    Usually, a G2 and a Fiber One brownie. That's just enough to last until lunch, tastes good, and gets me fiber I need. And don't worry about them being so good you're afraid you'll pig out on them (like I was). They're self-limiting, you'll only make that mistake once! XD

    I cannot do carbs for breakfast or I crash about 10 am, so I always have eggs(boring) or I microwave a few strips of Jennio Turkey Bacon. It seems to be the best tasting turkey bacon I can find. Very quick and satisfying.

    2 boiled eggs
    grits (artificial sweetner)
    Turkey sausage links



    About 300 calories and very filling. I'm a big guy and it keeps me through lunch and beyond. Today I had to MAKE myself eat lunch

    Protein bar. I'm lazy. And I act like a college student in the morning. I get up at 7:15 an and leave the house at 7:30 am.

    Nothing. I have a "brunch", combined brekkie and lunch, to keep me going till dinner, which consists of a nice salad.

    Ugh, I'm so bad at having breakfast!

    I usually have a black coffee or nothing :P Sometimes a cappuccino on a good day!

    I like avocado on toast for lunch though, that could be a good breakfast :) Maybe with some smoked salmon... yum!

    @alexsondra34 To me, your breakfast does not seems very nutritious. Cut out the margarine (bad habit) and replace the jam with something more filling and healthier.

    I'll suggest you to put some avocados, tomatoes, little slice of ham or an egg on your morning toasts. Or just put some natural nut butter (forget the brands like Kraft or anything processed) and accompagny it with fresh fruits like papaya, berries or whichever fruit you prefer!

    Here are some other suggestions:
    - Oatmeal (don't eat the oatmeal packets, too processed. Just buy a bag of regular oatmeal. Add fruits in it, walnuts, chia seeds and maple syrup.
    - Natural cereals (like Nature's Path), add fruits, walnuts and skimmed milk.
    - I like smoothies, here is an example: One banana, fat free plain yogurt, cappuccino soy milk (or almond milk), chia seeds, walnuts and cinnamon.
    - Do yourself some pancakes or waffles: wheat organic flour, 1 egg, skim milk. As toppings you put fat free plain yogurt, fruits like strawberries, mangos, nuts, seeds (chia, hemps, wheat germ, ground flax, ...).
    - If you feel more salty: bake an omelett filled with veggies like mushrooms, asparagus, tomatoes, bell peppers. You could top with an homemade avocado and tomatoes salsa.
    - Or just create your own healthy version of McMuffin: an egg, one slice of bread, ham and some cheese.

    Breakfast is my all time favorite, oh my gosh! I can't wait tomorrow morning to eat it again lol. I hope you enjoy my suggestions :)
