    i have grits or oatmeal most mornings, but cook them on the stovetop.

    Since you must use a microwave, i suggest microwaving 1 or two eggs. I do this all the time, for an 'egg over easy' style egg. Spray margarine on a plate just so there is a little. You actually don't have to use any margarine or butter, but i think the egg does better. crack the egg on the plate. microwave for about 30 seconds. push the outside edge toward the middle when microwaving so the white doesnt get hard and stick quite as much to the plate. However, there will be a very little bit of the egg white you will have to discard. It takes about a minute to microwave an egg over easy. you can also do scrambled eggs in the microwave, just stir every 15 seconds.

    dont forget about things like granola, nuts, and yogurt for breakfast. If I were you I would invest in a blender or handheld immersion to have smoothies: soymilk, banana, peanutbutter, frozen strawberries, mangoes, blueberries, etc.

    Edit to add: i saw someone suggested instant grits. I strongly recommend you do not purchase instant grits. They are horrid. Quick grits are fine (i still cook mine 20 minutes), but instant are just repugnant.

    some days eggs (scrambled or hard boiled), some days oatmeal, some days yogurt, some days 2 bananas and an orange.

    as i got older, i found that i could no longer digest milk well, so cereal has been off the menu for almost a decade now.

    One thing that I like is a breakfast burrito. I scramble an egg and microwave it. I put a bit of salsa and shredded cheese on a whole wheat tortilla. Once the egg is done, put it on top of hte cheese (helps to melt the cheese) and then roll it up. Easy to eat too since no utensils are required. Once in a blue moon I will add one slice of well cooked bacon for some extra flavour.

    I eat two hardboiled eggs and a bag of apples. I boil a bunch of eggs on Sunday so they are grab and go during the week and I buy the pre-washed bags of organic apple slices at Costco so they are also grab and go. Doesn't sound like much but it actually keeps me satisfied quite awhile.

    Fiber One Cereal and 2% milk with a handful of fresh blueberries. I always eat breakfast. It is my guide to what I will eat for lunch and dinner......

    Hummus on a slice of toasted nutty oat bread. Sometimes I add boiled eggs to the mix.

    I eat cold oatmeal...which is a nice variety when you're sick of the blandness of regular oatmeal. You take 1/3 cup oatmeal, 1/3 cup greek yogurt, 1/3 cup milk ( i use almond milk), and add a fruit of your choice. Mix and refrigerate overnight, eat in the morning. Delicious, and quick and easy. You can change what fruits you put in, or add granola, or syrup, whatever you want to change it up.

    Monday to Friday I eat plain Oats So Simple porridge with semi-skimmed milk and with a small teaspoon of brown sugar. The flavoured ones are too sweet for me and give me sugar spikes.

    On Saturday and Sunday I treat myself to......... plain Oats So Simple porridge with semi-skimmed milk and with a small teaspoon of brown sugar lol.

    Boring but it does the job to fuel my morning workouts!!!

    I'm in school too so I rotate between two b-fast: either Kashi Go Lean Original with milk. (if there is an ALDI in your area they have their own brand called Get Balance that is cheaper) and grits with yogurt. Add a 1/2 english muffin, some almonds, and prunes and your set.

    Other things I know some people do:
    Bagels with peanut butter (Lender Bagels cheapest and last longer but must be refrigerated)
    Egg whites on english muffin or toast (can also do on corn tortillas which are cheaper and easier buy in bulk)
    Granola and milk

    When it comes to getting fruit in look for juice or dried fruit because it will store longer. Also applesauce.

    I eat poached eggs, with a side of chopped tomatoes. Easy to cook in a plastic microwave poacher, takes 2 mins and keeps me going until lunch.

    Water and protein powder. I'd skip it all together if I didn't work out at 4:45 am.

    you can skip it (till later)

    there is no known advantage to taking in protein powder before, during or soon after a workout

    Depends. I sometimes make a Shakeology shake in the morning, or else cereal! My mom just got me chocolate Special K and it's not bad. I'm not a HUGE breakfast person but try to eat when I can....simple does it!

    I'm a huge fan of Overnight Oats In a Jar (1/3 cup Oats, 1/3 cup Yogurt, 1/3 cup Milk, 1 Tbsp Peanut Butter, 1 Tbsp Mini Chocolate Chips & 2 tsp of flaxseed--mixed in a jar or container and refrigerated overnight) and I eat that with a banana. There's unlimited flavor combinations (husband really likes my Pina Colada version with Pineapple flavored yogurt & coconut milk and shredded toasted coconut.)

    Or I love the Bear Naked Cereals; Autumn Blend and Almond Crisp--so yummy!

    I have cold cereal, hot cereal (oatmeal or Farina) I also make scrambled eggs and pancakes (you'll need a stove for that though) This morning I had waffles, can you have a waffle iron? Nice thing about waffles is you can warm them back up in the toaster or waffle iron again!
