    My gosh, these are fantastic ideas! I've been on a overnight refrigerated oatmeal kick lately. I've made banana & pb, applesauce & cinnamon and mango and coconut. I found the recipes when I searched "overnight oatmeal" in Pinterest.

    my diary is open, I try to mix it up, some mornings a smoothie (plain non fat greek yogurt, fruit and a little skim milk) some mornings 2 strips turkey bacon w/2 scrambled eggs and some fruit, some mornings oatmeal w/some fruit and nuts and every once in a while on the weekends I will make whole wheat french toast w/fruit. All under 400 calories, most under 300 w/coffee and a little fat free half and half included.

    My work breakfast is typically:
    0% Greek yogurt cup w/ yogurt or sometimes plain (Fage or Voskos) or 1 HB large Egg- for my protien
    1-1.5 cup of assorted berries/ fruit (usually strawberries and something else on sale)- for my fruit
    Fiber bar (usally Fiber Plus or Fiber one 90 cal) or 1/2 whole wheat bagel w/ 1 tbs of light cream cheese- for my carb/ fiber
    16- 20oz 1/2 caffinated coffee w/ 2-3 oz of skim milk

    Home breakfast is normally 1/2-3/4 cup quick steel cut oats w/ a little milk and 1 tsp brown sugar w/ one egg (HB or fried w/ out butter) and fruit (apple, pear or grapefruit).

    Definately a creature of habit but still haven't gotten sick of it 2 years later. Except for when I get that pregnancy craving for a big gooey sticking breakfast pastery of some sort... I only win that battle about half the time.

    two large eggs (140 calories) + two stripes of low sodium bacon (80 calories) between two slices of nature's own whole wheat light bread (80 calories) = 300 calories.

    Bwahahaha! Some people really like bacon. I'm happy I can barely stand meat let alone pork. Makes the diet a lot easier.

    Two eggs, real butter, any reasonable amount of random low-carb vegetables, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, a splash of hot sauce or salsa, all on a low-carb tortilla.

    Easy smoothie - frozen berries, milk, greek yogurt, and protein powder: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/saxmaniac?date=2012-04-30

    At the start of the week I hard boil two dozen eggs (my kids love them before school and I eat them as a snack) and I make 2 dozen egg "muffins". I cook about 24 ozs of turkey sausage (take it out of the casing and cook loose), place an ounce in the bottom of a muffin tin (don't forget to grease your pan!), put a tablespoon of red or green peppers on top of that, and then break one egg into each muffin tin and scramble a little with a fork, bake at 400 for 25 mins. When done baking remove from pan and set aside to cool, I put them all in a glass storage container and the kids and I just grab them and heat them up on the run.

    Eaten just like that it's 167 cals, 2 carbs and 12 grams protein. Sometimes I will toss a little cheese on top before I heat it, or will add onion to it before cooking, sometimes a little greek yogurt and a tiny bit of salsa to go with it. There are a million different ways to do it.

    Honestly, I still eat much of what most people consider a normal breakfast and most of the time it's under 200 calories. The highest calorie breakfast I've had is this:
    1 plain buttermilk biscuit (127cal)
    Pan fried bacon 4 pieces (168cal)
    Equaling to 295 calories, which is still well within your 400 calorie range.

    One of the breakfasts I enjoy is an omelette because I can stuff all sorts of tasty veggies inside. If you want to see exact calories and nutritional content on this here's the page: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/Drawberry?date=2012-04-30 but this is how I make mine;
    2 regular size eggs (or 1 egg and 1 -2 egg white for less calories)
    diced onion
    diced pepper
    pinch of Mexican blend cheese
    (if I have a bit of ham left over from something I'll chop up a bit of that as well. )

    When the pan is hot coat it with non-stick cooking spray (i use non-flavored kind because anything fake butter flavored makes me gag..)and pour a little over half of the egg (seasoned with salt and pepper) into the pan and swirl lightly. When the egg 'sets' part way but is still liquidy on top sprinkle the onion and peppers on one half and allow to 'set' for a little bit longer before adding the remaining egg mixture. Using the edge of the spatula to slowly go around the edge of the omelette to free it from sticking to the sides, then swirl the pan so the extra egg liquid on top fills the gaps on the sides. When the omelette is almost 'set' to my liking before folding I sprinkle some basil and the cheese on one half, fold, and flip over.After about 30 seconds it should be done and ready to devour.

    If your using 1-2 egg whites instead of two whole eggs the breakfast comes to under 200 calories!

    I love cinnamon and brown sugar oatmeal as well. Just cooking 1/2 cup of oatmeal as you normally would and adding in about a spoonful of each cinnamon and brown sugar to the hot oatmeal and adding a tiny splash of milk tastes greaaat. I usually add in some fruit on top like blueberries. I would recommend the fruit being room temperature since chilled fruits like strawberries will turn your oatmeal cold pretty quickly.

    Half a cup of this oatmeal, sans fruit, is less then 200 calories as well.

    Honestly I don't eat breakfast nearly as much as I should :/ but when I do I love me some eggies and oatmeal. Shockingly it looks like eggy in a basket (or 'egg in a hole') is less then 200 calories as well.

    Thomas' Bagel Thins whole wheat
    Philadephia 1/3 less cream cheese (veggie)
    Cup of coffee with fat free cream and 1 pack of splenda

    Well under 400 cals.

    How many calories is the cream cheese? I use laughing cow because the cheese spreads are 35 a wedge and the cream cheese wedges are 45 a wedge. My faves are the garlic and herb and the strawberries and cream.

    1 egg over easy, 1/2 cup of red grapes, one cup of green tea :) I now always start my day off like this and gives me more energy than the days I start off with something full of carbs (like when I use to eat cereal or when we have donuts at work).

    They appear to be under the impression that we consume the entire pig for breakfast, a common mistake I am sure.

    Two Bowls (2 cups) of Multi Grain Cheerios at 110 calories each with 1 cup of skim milk. It totals about 300 calories. I still have calories left for a piece of fruit such as an apple or banana.

    1/2 cup egg whites
    1/3 cup Kraft Tex Mex Cheddar Cheese (light)
    1.5 ounces cooked turkey breast
    1/2 blueberry bagel
    1/2 tsp of peanut butter

    About 350 calories, 25 g carbs, 40 g of protein, and makes a delicious omelette.

    Sometimes I'll add grapes or strawberries, which would put it a bot over 400 cals.
