    I have been eating Thomas' Bagel thins, half a bagel with a poached egg with Jennie O's turkey bacon and a slice of low calorie cheese. Lately though I have been eating the Quaker Real Medley's Oatmeal, which is a nice change up

    I'm sort of with the peeps who are saying if you have to choke down breakfast, maybe skip it. I REALLY love a good coffee. I made a cafe au lait every morning which has a fair amount of calories in it since I use quite a bit of milk. I use Horizon 1 % because it's nearly as creamy as whole milk. That usually hits the spot first thing in the morning and then I grab something easy like a banana or apple in case I get hungry around 10 am. I know most nutritionists say, don't skip breakfast, but I feel like my cafe au lait has enough calories in it to get me through the first few hours of the day. It's been working for me.

    Have you tried overnight oats? They're different than the norm. I made the following recipe but used apple butter instead of pumpkin butter (fewer calories) and omitted the pumpkin pie spice.

    The last day or two I have been having a tuna salad or bacon salad for breakfast, and it has really helped me :) Spinach tuna sunflower seeds and chickpeas... And it was YUMMY. Didn't have to force it down, and it was nice and light.

    Thanks everyone, great suggestions that I will definitely use :D

    I literally just have toast with low fat butter and a glass of milk for breakfast.

    Every day :P

    Looking for protein...

    Toast up a bagel thin or some light wheat toast - a smudge of peanut butter or almond butter & cut up your favorite apple into little tiny chunks and top it off. Delicious!!!

    Another favorite of course - classic egg on top of a bagel thin with spinach & thin mild cheddar cheese.

    Whole wheat waffle with fruit on top too <3 Mmm!

    I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs today, yum, another favourite is muesli with Greek yogurt, adding whatever fresh fruit I have too.

    Spanish tortilla with eggs, spinach, cheese and potato? (if I was not vegetarian, I would add bacon to that list) You could make the night before and eat cold or warmed slightly

    I've seen recipes for crustless mini-quiches that sound very good too.

    Homemade larabar style energy bar for a quick energy + protein start to the day to go with a cup of coffee

    French toast with fruit

    Not a huge breakfast person myself... I dont eat typical things for breakfast either.

    last week I ate "tacos". 2 oz ground turkey meat, wrapped in a tortilla with some hot sauce. I also spread a Laughing Cow Wedge on the tortilla.

    This week I'm eating chili for breakfast.

    Ive been known to eat chicken salad, tuna salad, turkey breast/smoked gouda on a piece of toast, etc.

    Allot of people here will probably bash me for saying it :tongue:

    How about a shake? Different fruits, yogurts, almond milk, juices, eggs, vegetables and even a vitamin packed protein shake mix can make for a quick an filling morning for a change. I even put benefiber in mine to boost the fiber.

    The combinations are endless. Works in pinch. I bought a magic bullet to make it easier without a huge blender. :drinker:
