    The Kitchn has a few great roundups of quick and easy breakfast recipes, many of which are fairly low-calorie too:

    My best friend also has a few breakfast recipes on her blog. They are among the most delicious things I have ever eaten:

    I have a homemade non fat latte, one hard boiled egg and either a banana OR a nutrigrain bar. Its under 300 cals and its nice and easy (as the eggs are made ahead of time) since I leave the house at 630am!!!!

    or

    scramble a couple of eggs, sprinkle with salt, pepper, mozzarella and serve with a slice of 100% whole wheat bread toasted and slathered with a TB of apple butter. mmm mmmm!

    Eggs, toast, and smoothies are all quick breakfasts!

    Bircher Muesli is delicious and you can make a weeks worth at once and just serve up a portion per day.

    I toast the slivered almonds and some shredded coconut and keep aside until serving so that it has a nice crunch.

    I just ate cottage cheese(80cal/.5 cup) with sugar free strawberry preserves (only 10 cal/tbsp). It tastes really good, it would be perfect for breakfast.

    I have to say, good old fashioned instant oatmeal - the Quaker hearty oatmeal packets, and I toast two slices of 35 calorie bread, and use the 'I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" spray. All together, it totals just under 250 calories, and will sustain you throughout your morning. You can always add an apple or orange, and you're golden! :-)

    I love McDonald's Oatmeal, so I started making my own healthier version at home.

    Quaker steal cut oats made with 2% milk.
    Add 1/8 cup each of raisins, and diced apples, 2tbs craisins and a dash of your favorite cinnamon, low calorie syrup or brown sugar.
    Actually with good home cooked oatmeal you can add pretty much any fruit and it'll be a fairly high protein and fiber breakfast under 300 calories. filling too.

    A dietician told me once that I should not buy raisin bran as the raisins are dredged in sugar.

    I'm looking into recipes for energy/protein bars to eat for breakfast and take on bike rides. I'm going to try a few this weekend and I'll be sure to post a thread in the recipes section.

    Also remember, if breakfast is hard for you, it could be because you are thinking only of "breakfast" foods.

    I hardly ever eat a traditional "breakfast". I just eat leftovers, or lunch/dinner type foods.

    I love an 8oz serving of plain greek yogurt with blueberries and raw cashews. I like to put a few drops of liquid Stevia in it too. It's filling and delicious. I like to add a slice of toast to that too. :)

    My go to breakfast is fat free greek yogurt, buy either Fage or Chobani, plain(there are cheaper versions but if you read the nutrional info you will see the cheaper brands have more sugar and less protein, add some fruit to it and I use some vanilla liquid stevia to make it taste sweeter. This will fill you up and is also easy to take with you to have for lunch at work.

    2 Cage Free Omega-3 eggs
    You can add veggies, meat, cheese whatever you like
    Dash(s) of Hot Sauce
    Pinch of:
    Garlic Powder
    Salt
    Pepper
    Non stick cooking spray or enough butter to coat the bottom of a small frying pan

    Whisk it all up for about 1-2 minutes and pour it into the Frying pan or Omelet pan if you have one. Cook it on medium heat for a couple of minutes covered. Flip and add your stuffing. Let cook one more minute and then fold it over and put it on a plate.

    Not my Prettiest Omelet but it tastes good. Sometimes i will steam some steamed asparagus to it if i have the time.
