    try to get western bagel's "perfect 10" bagel! 10g carbs, 18g PROTEIN, and only 140 for a pretty decently sized bagel! there's lots of grains in there too. the only thing is that the lack of carbs makes the texture very spongy, almost as if it were just semi-cooked dough. however, the low cal count allows for plenty of calorie room for toppings/spreads!

    egg whites are always a good option, but they may be difficult to do if you only have access to a toaster and microwave.

    personally i love having a huge bowl of cereal. i have 1 cup of kashi go lean (13g protein and 140 cal) and then 1 cup of a fun cereal (organic "lucky charms" type cereal, 120 cal) to add flavor. 2 whole cups of cereal like this comes out to 260 cal, and with a cup of tea or coffee keeps me full for a while!

    I just made a batch of baked oatmeal in muffin tins, they came out good mine are 200 cals each and 6 grams of protein but I think the protein could be upped pretty easily. Mine were 3 cups of oats to 1 cup of almond milk, 2 eggs, cinamon, 1/4 cup natural cane sugar (it called for brown) a pinch of salt and some baking powder, 4 oz walnuts, mashed up a couple bananas into the mixture then sliced bananas on top and in the last few minutes of baking I sprinked a tiny bit of brown sugar on top. 1 tsp did all 12.

    next time I'm going to add some more egg whites and a bit less sugar, maybe try apple cinamon.

    THIS SOUNDS DELICIOUS.

    I love oatmeal so much. Put a little brown sugar and cinnamon in that stuff. So good.

    It's pretty typical for me to have multi-bran Chex in a Yoplait vanilla whip. It's my substitute bowl of cereal since I can't drink milk and don't like most (all?) milk substitutes I've tasted.

    Steamed Microwave Eggs!

    4 eggs
    3/4 cup of water
    salt to taste

    Whisk, cover loosely, and microwave on medium high heat for 10 mins.

    If you can, chop up some scallions or green onions, or other small, quick to cook veggies and throw it in before you whisk.

    Today I had 2 scrambled eggs, a slice of mozzarella cheese and a few slices of very thin ham on an everything bagel.

    Lately I've been having a whole wheat English muffin with crunchy peanut butter and banana slices on top. Keeps me full all morning!

    Yogurt with fruits
    Almond milk and oats
    Biscuits (like belvita and other stuff like that)
    Homemade BLT (single slice, moderation in bacon and it can be 250 calories... but it can go higher) or other sandwiches
    Omlettes (they can be so diverse, with ham, or with mushrooms, with some wieners or simply with herbs and green onions; with a little cheese on top; it can be anything)
    Oeufs en cocotte

    i like: oatmeal with applesauce, cinnamon and nutmeg
    oatmeal with pb and maple syrup
    eggs or egg whites with cheese, salsa, spinach, musrhrooms, other veggies. since you have extra calories you can throw it in a tortilla and make a breakfast burrito
    protein shakes - chocolate with banana and pb and milk, vanilla with banana blueberry yogurt/milk
    pancakes with pb on top/fresh fruit
    french toast

    Cheese and vegemite on toast with heavy cream in my coffee this morning.

    That should get me through until my scheduled egg and bacon roll at the lunchtime cricket break :).

    For breakfast, I need protein and fat to feel satisfied.

    Today I had a 2-egg omelet with last night's dinner as the filling - ground turkey, onion, spinach and some low-fat shredded cheese. Still full 4 hours later.

    I either have greek yogurt, and add some honey or frozen fruit; or whole wheat toast with an egg on top. Protein shakes are good as well if you are going to work out in the AM. I make it a meal by adding greek yogurt, fruit, or peanut butter. Just make it good. Also sometimes oatmeal with a tablespoon of brown sugar

    I love a bagel thin (100 calories) toasted with a half a cup of strawberries and 2 TB of lite cream cheese... the whole thing turns out to be around 150 calories, and it is filling and yummy!

    I slice up a skillet of fresh mushrooms. 3 egg whites and make a scramble....love it. This is a treat for change. Normally steel cut oatmeal with fat free milk.

    Hi for the last couple of weeks I've been eating an English muffin breakfast sandwich which I really enjoy.
    I use a light multi-grain English muffin, 1 egg, reduced fat provalone cheese, 1 slice of turkey bacon, and a slice of tomato.

    I HATE breakfast foods so I usually don't eat breakfast...yeah I know, it's the most important meal of the day and all... If I do eat breakfast it isn't a breakfast type food. Or I will have half a clif bar or a slimfast shake. Maybe I can get some ideas here.

    I think that whole "most important meal of the day" thing has been sufficiently debunked. (Probably started by some breakfast foods marketers anyhow.)

    I buy the big plastic container of Fage greek yogurt at costco and some honey and walnuts.

    I mix the yogurt with honey and walnuts and drink either green tea or spiced apple cider with it. Delicious and healthy and gives you TONS of energy. It's really simple to make too since I'm a high school student with only about 10 minutes to prepare and eat my breakfast in the mornings.

    Hi
    5 times a week i have some kind of porridge. But mix it up everyday: oats, spelt, qinoa, couscous (cooked in orangejuice),.... Any wholegrain variety which has no added sugar. I use different "milks" , like almond; hazelnut; soya or rice milk. Topped with different fruits or nuts everyday or Greek yogurt or fromage frais .
    Changing everyday means i don't get bored.
    2 times a week i have a piece of bread (not the nasty white stuff). Normally sourdough or rye. Just something with a bit of a bite too it. With that i have a boiled egg and fresh vegetables, like tomatoes or cucumber.
    Once in a while a tin of baked beans and tomatoes is nice.

    For me variety is the key and i need to have the feeling i ate something propper, which keeps my snacking till lunch under control.
