    I mix fruit on the bottom Greek yogurt with plain every day, then I add something else--cheese toast some days, oatmeal a couple, bacon and eggs (and toast if I'm really starving or going to workout a lot that day) a couple.

    I make a batch of healthy muffins (18 usually) and freeze a dozen of them. It's just me and my husband now so it's very easy to pull one or two out and nuke them for breakfast on the go. As for a staple, one slice wheat toast with 1 tsp. of Bummell & Brown spread, topped with a couple slices of tomato with a sunny side Eggland's large egg on top.

    Special K (110k calories)
    Banana (105k calories)
    1/4 cup milk (30k calories) ---> I don't like milk very much... hence the 1/4 cup :P
    20oz Water (0k calories)
    Great Value "Early Rise Orange" drink mix (10k calories)
    255k calories


    I eat this almost every day! I do switch up cereals... but I like special K because it has 45% of my DV of Iron :).

    2 slices of turkey bacon, hard boiled egg, and my coffee. ~175 calorie breakfast that keeps me full for at least 3 hours!

    This thread kind of makes me feel lazy to not get up early enough in the morning to make some of these delicious breakfasts. :(

    See my idea above, lol!

    Thanks! I'll give it a try. :)

    I have some variation of this granola almost every time I eat breakfast. Picture is mine, the meal is under 500 cals and keeps me full for awhile. It's also incredibly delicious!! :)

    Looks delicious, I see the fruits, but what kind of granola is that?

    It's vanilla almond granola from Trader Joe's. :) And yes--I ALWAYS have 1 tbsp of dark chocolate chips in my granola! It's only 70 calories and it makes it taste amazing.... I don't deprive myself, I just like to use them in moderation! :)
    The recipe for this particular bowl is:
    -2/3 cup granola
    -1/2 cup soy milk
    -1/2 banana
    -2 strawberries
    -8 raspberries
    -1/2 kiwi
    -1 tbsp dark chocolate chips

    But you can substitute any fruit in of your choice, of course. :)

    whole grain toast with a bit of margarine and a teaspoon of peanut butter, I eat this at least 6 days a week! I love oatmeal but only have it 1-2 times a week and often as a mid morning snack and plan for a late lunch.

    I have had Malt o Meal forever but my Kroger just stopped carrying it! So, I had to switch to Grits. Sadly, it is just not the same.:sad:

    I admit to eating a Trader Joe's cinnamon crumpet and 1TBSP Nutella (or the Kroger brand hazelnut spread). 1/2 cup of milk. Heaven. I realize it's not insanely healthy like some of these suggestions....but it's delicious, and better than a lot of other "run out the door with something in hand" options that are around. :)

    Plus it gets me nutella.....yumm......nutella..... :)

    I've been doing a shake every morning lately. 1 cup vanilla coconut milk, 1 scoop protein powder, and a cup of frozen berries blended together. It's pretty good, but I'm ready for a snack a couple hours later.

    What my family calls Eggy Toast (eggs in a basket) where you cut the center out of a piece of bread and fry an egg in the middle. If you can't picture it just google "eggs in a baskest." I love it because it actually it pretty filling and I cook it til the yokes not runny so I can eat it in the car if need be. :O)

    For me, I go primarily with fruit. It perks me right up.

    If i'm feeling particularly rubbish on a morning... I eat 2 kiwi fruits. High in serotonin.

    Also, if i'm feeling wired at night - same thing. 2 kiwi fruits and a protein shake. Protein helps me feel satisfied, and the serotonin from the kiwi fruit sends me right off into an awesome sleep.

    I always just have a protein shake. I'm in too much of a hurry for anything else and they taste great and provide good nutrition!

    Quinoa and greek yogurt. Its a powerful start to the day. Opt for fat free yogurt and you will still get all that protein but with less fat. If I dont have this every day I tend to slip up more often than not.

    Cornflakes for me no matter what time I get up, but that's hardly my diet plan! I love cornflakes had them for brekie (and sometimes dinner, tea and supper as well!) since before I can remember.

    I have smoothies. They are easy to prepare and I drink them while I get ready for work.
