    Breakfast for me ranges between 350 and 450. Tried less but wound up having sugar crashes at work.

    usually high fiber type cereal with 1% milk or non fat yogurts (activia/chobani) 1/2 to 1 banana and lots of coffee. Sometimes eggs and toast/tortilla or english muffin. so around 300 calories plus or minus. Splurge occasionally (couple times a month) for a wonderful hearty breakfast with lots of goodies.

    It varies a little, I either have a 200 calorie protein bar with at least 20 oz of water or I have some 250 calorie chocolate peanut butter. I just make sure to get some good protein in the morning.

    I have been eating between 300-400 calories at breakfast. But when I get to work, I have another 100 because my job is quite physcial. I am experimenting with eating about 500-600 calories before I go to work in order to sustain me for a couple of hours before I have my morning snack.

    I have about 260 calories and maintenance cals are under 1200 :( so I try to keep breakfast cals on the lower side so I can eat more later. 1/2 cup whole grain oats, 1 cup of water or skim milk to cook the oats in. 1/2 to 1 cup of mashed berries and occasionlly I add ground flax seed. I usually use fresh strawberries, they taste sooo much better than store bought. Sometimes I'll add a little honey if I want it sweeter. I also have 2 cups of coffee with creamer.

    530 Calories

    126 Carbs

    4 Fat

    18 proteins

    So, I am doing fine so far Lost 7 lbs in seven weeks. My goal is to lose 10 lbs by the end of June. I had bran cereal with fat free lactaid milk, a banana, and some popcorn. I did research on the internet to find the highest fiber foods, highest protein foods. Low carb foods and low natural fat. I do not eat the same thing every day. I can not see this. So each day i eat something different but have the same nutritional goals listed above. I do average about 400 to 600 calories in the morning breakfast and under 1700 calories a day. Goal is to eat more fiber, half the fat in grams and twice as much in protein. For exercising, i do heavy aerobic exercise every other day for about two (2) hours as i watch a Video movie at night! I keep away from sugars and white wheat flour products like white breads and pastas.

    For me Breakfast is my favorite meal .
    I eat 2 eggs sunnysided up or just boiled, some beans , toast and coffee with raw sugar.
    about 350-400.
    It's important to eat breakfast for energy levels later in the day, to kick start your metabolism :)

    Skipping breakfast is a no-no . :)

    I have never been a breakfast eater. I love to jack up on coffee and not eat until noon BUT, I know it is better for me and will amp my metabolism if I eat earlier in the day.
    If I can eat at home I have 2 poached organic farm raised eggs ( that I pay dearly for) and one piece of toast or 1/2 a bagel. In a restaurant usually fresh fruit and oatmeal and at work, yogurt and cereal.

    IMO breakfast could and should be your big meal of the day. We kind of got it backwards by making dinner/supper the big meal. I figure this may be because ppl have things to do in the morning and are not thinking about their stomachs.

    Anyway I usually eat between 300-450 calories, but like I was saying it is perfectly fine to start the day out with a 600-800 calorie meal as long as you are monitoring everything else you eat in the day. :o)
