    Half a bagel with light cream cheese and/or peanut butter, which is really good together by the way, just a tiny bit of peanut butter on top of the cream cheese. And maybe a piece of fruit. Today I had low calorie yogurt with my bagel.

    Breakfast doesn't fill me up for long except for the banana oat pancakes I make. 1 egg, 1 banana, 1/2 tsp of baking powder, and 1/2 cup of oats. Blend the ingredients and it makes 3 or 4 delicious pancakes! I usually eat them with strawberries and blueberries. It's like 340 something calories but it is the only thing that keeps me full for a log time. I got the recipe here but I altered it to make it 1 serving and tweaked my recipe a bit

    Usually my go-to breakfast is a Garden Lite Veggie muffin (yummy!) and a strawberry banana smoothie I make with strawberries, dannon light & fit non fat vanilla yogurt, a banana, coconut almond milk and a little bit of cocoa powder. Together it's all 260 calories and is my favorite thing ever. If I don't want a smoothie I'll eat the muffin with a cup of coconut almond milk. Yum!

    2 eggs with salt and pepper on 40 calorie wheat bread is also good. I used to be on an oatmeal kick but I can't stand it by itself lately.

    I try to have a protein breakfast and lately have been having a smoothie with protein although I think I might do better with my old favorite: an egg beater with some reduced fat shredded mild cheddar, and an organic rice cake.

    My breakfast is 1 cup steel cut oats with a banana or a greek yogurt stirred in. Its quite filling. I just have to remember to cook a batch a bedtime twice a week.

    1 cup steel cut oats
    4 and a splash cups water

    Combine, bring to boil. Stir, cover with lid. Turn off stove and go to bed.
    In the morning its ready. Just heat and eat.

    150 calories 1 cup cooked.

    What an amazing idea... sounds like something I'll have to try!

    I have one piece of daves killer bread with some yummy organic peanut butter from whole foods and I sprinkle a tbs of chia seeds on top!! Sometimes if I'm super hungry I'll cut up some banana and put that on top of the toast and put the chia seeds on top of the banana. (:

    My go to breakfast is one cup egg whites blended with 1 cup frozen strawberries and 3 teaspoons stevia. 1/2 cup oatmeal measured dry then cooked. 1 tablespoon of pure maple syrup. On a day I need something quick I substitute 2 pieces of whole wheat toast for the oatmeal so I can eat on the run.

    A chocolate shakeology made with water, half a scoop of some other protein powder to get the protein up to 30 grams, a few tablespoons of psyllium fiber, and either instant espresso or PB2. Gets me just under 300 calories and I will feel full till 10:30, which is when I have a snack.

    I absolutely love oatmeal, the old-fashioned, cook on the stove kind. I love it! So delicious and definitely filling! I add chia and flax seeds, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, allbran and sultanas:)

    Vanilla or chocolate : Muscle milk light or muscle milk 100cal blended with water, ice and berries :-) its quick and easy, especially for a busy morning. You can find muscle milk products at some samsclubs and on amazon.com ..... I've tried eating oatmeal and other carbs and different times of the day and it doesn't work for me. I end up: 1) my body feels weird I immediately swell/bloat and it looks like I gained a 9months pregnant belly :s and I get fatigued, and 2) my gut feels like carbs just sit there for DAYS and does NOT digest (I only have that prob with carbs- oatmeal, bread, noodles, rice (brown or white- it is the worst).

    I have three:

    1) Porridge with cinnamon (sometimes with a few raisins or half a banana)
    2) Wholewheat toast with thinly spread peanut butter and mashed banana
    3) Scrambled eggs on wholewheat toast

    All of these keep me full for hours. The first one is weekdays, the others are weekend/non-work days

    An egg white omelette cooked in 1/2 TBS of olive oil with onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, and 1/4 cup full fat cheese. ~260 calories

    OR on mornings when I have a long run planned

    1/2 cup old fashioned oatmeal cooked in 1 cup of milk, one banana mashed in and 1 TBS peanut butter- 460 calories

    Both of these keep me full until lunch. I also will sometimes have the omelette for dinner if I need a super low cal meal because I have used up too many calories for the day.

    I'll go for a cup of oatmeal with a teaspoon of brown sugar, a cup of milk, and either a banana or some vanilla greek yogurt.
    If I'm hungry before lunch, which I'm usually not, I like to eat a string cheese stick. :)

    1/3 cup egg whites with a nice pinch of cheese. 75 cal, 11g protein. Plus, of course, coffee with one creamer. It keeps me full until from 7:15 to 10, and then I usually have some peanut butter with a few crackers, a fruit, or cottage cheese (another 100 cal or less snack). I try to keep it high protein and low calorie in the morning.

    I don't eat my breakfast right away - I start work at 7 and get hungry around 9 so I need something something convenient I can have at my desk.

    Most mornings, I drink a peppermint tea or two when I get to work, then around 9am, I have a half-serving (1-scoop) of Mocha flavoured SlimStyles shakes (115 calories) and another tea or switch to my water. I really am full until lunch.

    If it's a morning that I feel I NEED to eat something, I have an instant oatmeal packet (I have tons of flavours but I've learned that even the original is fabulous). That'll go anywhere from 100-200 calories but that usually only satiates me for a couple of hours.

    A low calorie breakfast and a low calorie lunch (plus a walk at lunch) means I get to eat a substantial dinner which is what works best for me.
