    I eat late every night (just finished snacking) so I personally don't eat any breakfast. How more boring is that? First daily meal is around 1:00pm.

    Typically I have 1 cup Special K Red Berries cereal, 1 Morningstar sausage patty, 2 scrambled eggs, and 1 cup light chocolate soy milk. Sometimes I'll sub a Baked Cranberry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal for the cereal and Morningstar bacon for the sausage.

    I love Belvita breakfast biscuits, especially the honey and nut ones. They are yummy and easy, just unwrap and nom nom. 4 biscuits is about 230 calories and they are quite filling, also have vitamins added, what's not to like?

    I also eat fruit some days (mostly when I've run out of biscuits!) and cereal occasionally.

    2 eggs with Bell peppers, tomatoes, onion and 1 tb cheese is my fave. Or Chobani and a piece of fruit. Or whole wheat toast and all-natural pb and some milk. Leftover "refried" (aka squished) beans in a whole wheat tortilla is very yummy for breakfast, too. Oh, and Turkey bacon is awesome if you eat meat.

    I aim for protein at breakfast time, and I don't really like cereals. So I alternate between:

    Eggs - scrambled, in the microwave, with mushrooms, cheese, ham, spinach, whatever I have to hand

    Porridge - sometimes Bircher Muesli or overnight oats - soak the oats in fruit juice or water in the fridge overnight. Add some dried fruit at this stage if liked. In the morning grate an apple into it, add a blob of yoghurt, some nuts, seeds, drizzle of honey....

    Toast: - I keep a loaf of good quality seeded bread in the freezer, and every few days I'll toast a slice straight from the freezer, and top with a smear of marmite and some cottage cheese, add a sprinkle of seeds. Or toast with peanut butter.

    Greek yoghurt - with fruit, nuts, seeds, or made into a smoothie.

    Smoked fish - salmon or mackerel.

    do you like eggs? get the little carton of egg beaters southwestern style. 3 tablespoons=1 egg. throw it in a bowl and microwave it or pan fry it, toss it into a whole wheat tortilla and run out the door! (add cheese if you like)

    do you like smoothies? get a bag of frozen mixed fruit and some juice or milk, add a cup of each to your blender with a tablespoon of flax oil and a fresh banana. it'll keep you full for a long time and its portable!

    Either a homemade smoothie (Chobani Strawberry Yogurt, Crystal Light Lemonade, strawberries, pineapple, and ice), a Chobani yogurt, or weirdly enough, pasta with olive oil and crushed red peppers.

    Lately, my breakfasts have been either a cup of kix cereal with a cup of non fat milk, or 3/4 cup of fiber one cereal with a cup of milk. Sometimes, I'll cook a couple eggs (scrambled or over easy) with 2 slices of Jennie-O lean turkey bacon slices (20 calories per slice) with one tortilla.

    Typical is 2 scrambled or fried eggs and some egg whites and a teaspoon of organic coconut butter, a veggie with it like spinach thrown in or stir-fried organic zucchini, some salsa thrown in for flavor. That's pretty typical for me.

    Work days = protein shake. (In blender: 1C unsweetened coconut milk, 1 scoop Now Sports 100% whey protein powder (unflavored, no additives), 1T chia seeds, 1T stevia in the raw, dash of cinnamon, 5 frozen strawberries.) You can mix up the fruit to change things up. i sometimes use peaches, pineapple, raspberries/blueberries, banana + 1T hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder, etc.

    Non-work days = 3 egg omelet w/sauteed veggies. Whatever is in the fridge; peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc. Sometimes I'll add in chicken sausage. And a sprinkle of cheese with salt & pepper. Yummo!
