    Old fashioned oatmeal microwaved for 3 minutes at 60% power level. Then I mix in a few craisins and a tablespoon of sliced almonds. You can also chop up an apple into the raw oatmeal and cook it along with the oatmeal.

    Greek yogurt and 1 tbsp of Smuckers Simply Fruit strawberry without seeds mixed in.

    1 egg scrambled and 2 pieces of bacon (on weekends when I have more time).

    I add coffee with half n half to all of my fav breakfasts and still come in around 300 calories.

    Eggs over easy,
    precooked bacon,
    veggie sausage,
    toast w/ fruit spread
    fruit

    Obviously not everything in one morning but I mix and match with those.

    Sometimes
    veggie and cheese omelet
    Egg, and cheese on an English muffin
    Chocolate Oatmeal (from Chocolate Covered Kate's website)
    French toast made with light bread
    If I'm completely crunched for time I will have a vitamuffin.

    And always loads of coffee!

    Bananas! I usually have 2-3 bananas for breakfast (eating them between 9-10 am) holds me over until lunch at 1:30 - 2PM.
  • I get up at 3:30 AM for work and these things seem to work for me:

    Scrambled tofu with tomatoes, spinach, and sometimes mushrooms or onions. I make this the night before and just microwave it in the morning.

    Whey protein shake, one tablespoon of peanut butter

    Quinoa made to resemble oatmeal with vanilla extract, almonds, and cinnamon. I also make this the night before.

    On Sunday nights I boil a dozen eggs for the week so in the morning on the way to work I grab two, plus a banana and some yogurt. Quick and easy out the door.
  • My spinach and tomato omelet is very very good and healthy (omit cheese and its VERY healthy)

    this is for two people so adjust as you need to

    i whip three eggs (sometimes i take out a yolk but not very offten)

    i chop (this is optional but i think it is good) a couple green onions (scallions or chives) and add them to whipped eggs.

    heat up large nonstick pan (no need for butter i promise) to med heat

    also have next to stove a lid that fits pan, bottom side up, with about a tablespoon of water in the lid (i will explain later)

    grate cheese (i like pepperjack with this) and slice tomato, i also like lemon pepper on the tomato, get spinach out also

    whip eggs one last time to incorporate onions (if you did this) and pour into pan.

    pick up the pan and roll the eggs around and up the side a little to get a good even layer to build omelet

    then i wait about 30 seconds until egg's set just a little (dont worry they will get cooked through when we steam this)

    now layer half of the pan with as much spinach as you can fit under the lid(remember it cooks down with the steam)

    next add tomato slices (and avocado if you want) then sprinkle pepperjack grated cheese (@1/8 cup) over the half with spinach and toms

    now its time to slide spatula under the un-topped half of the eggs to loosen it up, then pour the little bit of water (from your lid) under the egg, it will start to make steam and loosen the egg if its not already) close the lid on and cook for one minute. you can turn off the heat after 30 secs.

    when you open the lid the spinach should have cooked down to a thinner layer with toms and melted cheese. this is perfect.

    flip the un topped egg over the topped half.....voila you have a perfect healthy omelet. don't forget salsa on top for a real treat.

    about 300-350 calories

    Egg beaters with cheese and mushrooms put in the microwave!

    I mix all three ingredients (you could put any veggies you want in it) and then put it in a bowl and put it in the microwave on high for 2 minutes. The bowl shape makes it come out in like an egg-patty type thing where it all sticks together and it conveniently fits on a piece of whole wheat toast! mmm my favorite. And sooo easy to make since there's only one dish.

    I like to make high protein waffles. I'll make a big batch, then freeze them to put in the toaster, later. Then I add some sugar free syrup to them.

    I also like to make oatmeal, Put some fruit in it, some walnuts, and top off with fat free whipped cream. Sometimes I will have it with a few scrambled eggs, sometimes a protein shake.

    On workout days, when I can use a blender, I will usually have a protein shake with a frozen banana in it.
  • I like usin the egg beater substitute and making an ommelette without the cheese. I use onion and peppers and tastefully simple seasonings. Tastes awesome and low calorie :) I also enjoy my shakeology only 150 calories and full of super foods.

  • OK, here's a few of my favorites that haven't been mentioned:

    1. Deviled ham and eggs scrambled together in a pan.

    2. 1/2 of a whole grapefruit with a truvia pack sprinkled on it.

    3. I also like the yoplait light yogurt with fruit and granola...but I don't eat the granola with wheat in it that comes with it. I replace it with a pumpkin seed and flax granola. Yum!

    4. When I have time on the weekends, we cook omelets with whatever meat and veggies we have in the fridge.

    I'm not sure these qualify as "healthy" but I've been on a Belvita breakfast biscuit kick lately because they require no cooking and I can grab a pack on my way out the door. They taste like cookies and are only 230 calories for a pack of 4.

    My personal fave is 3 tbsp of egg product (egg beaters), 2 tbsp salsa, 1 low-carb tortilla all for 3 points. Add cheese for 1 more point. Sorry, not sure about the other nutritional info. Just the points plus value:)

    It's good to start your day with some complex carbs and definitely some protein. I like to beat one egg and one egg white and 1 tsp olive oil to make an omlette. Add 1/4 c 2% shredded cheese and a slice of tomato with a slice of high fiber toast. You'll be good to go! !/4 c. oatmeal with half of your favorite Greek yogurt is good with one egg also. I will also have half a cup of cottage cheese on a slice of high fiber toast. Mix it up and try new things!:flowerforyou:

    I try to stick with protein shakes or a fiber bar. I don't have a lot of time in the morning so it's whatever I can grab. Fruit is also good. I'm really into oranges now. They're just really hard to eat. I'm still getting used to that part.
    Roll your orange on the counter using a good amount of pressure under the palm of your hand. Grab a spoon and start peeling. Peel should come of pretty easy.

    My fave is 1/2 cup plain lowfat yogurt mixed with 1 cup frozen mixed berries that I've thawed in the microwave. I stir it together, then top with 1/2 cup granola. It's filling, nutritious, and only about 250 calories. Love it for snacks too!
