    Whole wheat pancakes mix with chocolate protein powder 50/50 split, egg whites, bananas, almond milk, and cocoa powder. Mix all together.

    Strawberries or blackberries cook on low and let it simmer and extract its natural sugars. If you must you can add sugar free syrup, or a dab of agave.

    One of my favorite meals to make and ready in 20 minutes!

    1/3 C oats
    1/3 C water
    1/3 C egg whites
    In a large bowl microwave for 3 minutes

    add a little vanilla, cinnamon and stevia and fruit of choice. Yumm!

    This and a soft boiled egg keeps my workouts in high-gear.

    I also have 4 cups of water and a cup of coffee.

    I don't like plain oatmeal either but I have found a way around it. I add a teaspoon of brown sugar, a serving of raisins and some cinnamon. It only takes 5 minutes to prepare. The key is to NOT use instant oatmeal.

    Oatmeal is a big time breakfast power food. It super charges your metabolism and keeps your energy level up and hunger down well into lunch time.

    Well, you can put some vanilla or cinnamon powder in your oatmeal.

    I learned in Spain to eat something sweet in the morning, like a slice of bread with strawberry jelly (mermelada de fresa) or a cereal bar, i think the ideal time to eat sweet things is during the morning.

    Cook some bacon ahead of time and refrigerate leftovers. Then in am just reheat 2 slices bacon, scramble an egg, toast an english muffin, put it all together! It's quick and delicious, has good protein and fat, and is filling. Grand total 260 calories. Sausage or ham would work too, just have to adjust calories for serving sizes.

    Night before, saute some onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, spinach, whatever you want then refrigerate. In am throw it in skillet, warm for a few minutes, throw in a couple eggs and make an omelette or scramble and make breakfast burrito. Another thing I've done before is make a bunch of breakfast burritos ahead of time, package and freeze them, then reheat in microwave for a quick tasty breakfast.

    A general tip is anything you can prepare the night before and warm up in the microwave. Amazing how much it helps to do just a little planning ahead!

    This is not my fave but it is so fast and good. I have been using the 'refridgerator oatmeal'. Put 1/4 c. old fashion oats, 1/4 c. milk & 1/4 c. yogurt in a 1 cup container and fill with fruit (you can add vanilla or almond extract if you'd like). Leave in fridge overnight and eat cold in the morning before rushing out.

    I second the steel cut outs! I love them plain but if you like maple syrup i would get some organic grade b maple syrup (can be found at whole foods, sprouts, sunflowers market, etc..) it's a bit pricey but it tastes delish, itsn't too sugary, and is packed full of vitamins and minerals (various concentrations depending on where the tree that it was harvested from is located and what the composition of the soil is there) or I love to add in a serving of sugar free preserves (i like seedless raspberry) it makes the oatmeal sweet without over doing it.

    Fav. No. 2: cup of boiled rice + 1 teaspoon of pesto ~300kcal (I cook rice in the evening and happily eat it cold).

    Weight Control Instant Oatmeal. Requires 2 mins in the microwave and thats it. My fav is the Banana Bread, but also comes in Maple & Brown Sugar, and Cinnamon. Its low in fat, really low in sugar, and low in calories, and with a cup of coffee easily fills me up till lunch time.

    Red quinoa
    Red/orange bell pepeprs
    A few leaves of shredded spinach
    a pinch of cheese (your pick)
    2 egg whites and 1 Whole egg
    cook the quinoa according to directions on packaging. chop up bell peppers and cook with spinach in pan. Add eggs when veggies are starting to get tender. Scramble in pan until cooked (10 minutes or so depending on heat level) and add cheese when done!

    My hubby will cook it the night before and microwave it in the morning! It reheats really well. I'm going to start trying to make veggie egg patties though and freeze them to see if I they will reheat well from frozen like the store brand frozen breakfast sandwiches.

    My standard breakfast is an egg white omelet. I use Best of the Egg Whites by Lucerne (120 cals per cup). I stuff the omelet with an array of vegetables (peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, squash) and occasionally thin slices of ham. The omelet cooks quickly in a non-stick pan, and the vegetable medley can be prepped days before.
