    Make a batch of whole wheat pancakes on the weekend, let them cool, bag them in packs of 2 and pop them in the freezer. I grab a pack, reheat them in the toaster at work and eat them with a little sugar free jelly.

    This is the recipe I use, from Cooking Light:

    Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancakes
    Whip up fluffy yet filling pancakes in only 20 minutes.

    Cooking Light APRIL 2002

    Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 2 pancakes, 2 tablespoons syrup, and 1 1/2 teaspoons butter)
    Total:20 Minutes
    Ingredients
    3/4 cup all-purpose flour
    3/4 cup whole wheat flour
    3 tablespoons sugar
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    1 large egg
    1 large egg white
    Cooking spray
    3/4 cup maple syrup
    3 tablespoons butter
    Preparation
    Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Combine buttermilk, oil, egg, and egg white, stirring with a whisk; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist.

    Heat a nonstick griddle or nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto griddle. Turn pancakes over when tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Serve with syrup and butter.

    Edit to add: Two pancakes are around 190 calories without butter and syrup.

    2 caramel rice cakes topped with 2 tbls Pb2 powdered peanut butter (prepared into peanut butter w/ water -45 cals) and sliced banana. Filling and tasty for about 250 calories. Add a chocolate protein shake on the side for an additional 110-150 calories and you feel like you had a cheat breakfast for about 400 cals total. :D

    I like the Pepperidge Farm Deli Flats, I toast a ½ one and add a wedge of Laughing Cow Cheese. Total calories is only 85. I follow that up later in the morning with some fruit or a hard boiled egg.

    Omelets! U can fill with cheese, bacon, onion, musbro, peppers, chorizo, shredded chicken, anything!'

    If I'm having plain old cereal, I like to supplement with a slice of toast & either crunchy peanut butter or lemon curd.

    Scrambled eggs with frankfurter chopped up in it.

    Throw in a tbsp of trail mix into your porridge for variety, you can mix it up as you go, so your mouth and mind don't get bored!

    Banana smoothie (delicious and beyond filling but so good for you!) and you can make so many variations!

    Poached egg with pan fried bacon & balsamic grilled tomatoes is another low calorie but tasty and so good for you!

    Here is one of my new FAVORITES:

    Take an avocado, slice in half, scoop out into a bowl, mash it with a fork or a potato masher and a pinch of salt. Take a nice thick piece of 12 grain bread or half of a wheat bagel, toast it nice and dark and spread the mashed avocado on it - HEAVEN.

    I also eat a banana and a cup of tea with honey with this - I eat b-fast at about 5:30 AM and I am completely fine until my 10:30AM mid morning snack.

    This morning I made myself a 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder and 1/2 tablespoon peanut butter.

    It was very filling and really delicious.

    I'm sorry but that wouldn't fill me up fo 10 minutes.

    I cut up a bunch of fruit the night before. It usually consists of Apples, pears, strawberries and grapes. It is very filling and tastes great but the best part is that I am not hungry again until lunch time.

    I'm a big fan of the english muffin. I either get Thomas's 100% wheat or Rudy's Multi grain with Flax. I'll top with 1 TBSP natural peanut butter, or low fat cottage cheese, or nutella & 1/2 banana, or a Welshire Farms Chicken Apple sausage, or a hard boiled egg sliced with lots of pepper....

    Other breakfast ideas: healthy cereal with Almond Milk, stell cut oatmeal with a pinch of brown sugar, sliced banana and walnuts, Van's Belgian Waffles with berries. Homemade breads (cooking light walnut streusel or banana bread), homemade bran & raisin muffins.

    Good luck!

    i make a low fat breakfeast casserole. Very simple and i modified it from a receipe.com suggestion.

    16oz eggbeaters
    1 bag of shredded hasbrowns ( the green bag in the grocery refridge section not frozen)
    1 package of Jimmy Dean reduced fat sauage
    16 oz pkg of Sargentos reduced fat sharp chedder shreds

    Preheat oven to 350 F
    Cook sauage,
    combine other 3 ingrediants in a sepaerate bowl and stir together
    Spray a 9 X 13 pan with cooking spray
    Spread cooked sauage in bottome of 9 x 13 and pour mixed ingrediants over it
    Baked for 45 min to 1 hour or until the center is set when a knife is inserted in the middle

    Cool divide into 12 equal slices and it is roughly 215 carlories per serving according to the receipe chart on this site.. it reheats well. Easy not a big mess and a hit for my non dieting family plus i like it.

    It was very filling and really delicious.

    Not a big fan of cottage cheese. I can eat it on a salad with lettuce or with pineapple sometimes. WIsh I liked it more.

    It didn't taste anything like cottage cheese. It was almost like a peanut butter dessert. :)

    Hi, I have found that buying the High protein bars are great for breakfasts on the run. Just grab a glass of skim milk and that bar and you will be full till lunch. Make sure u get the ones with atleast 12 or more grams of protein. They taste great too ! Don't know if you know it or not but milk helps u lose weight. Put a couple of protein bars in your purse or your have a with you for a snack. hope that helps !!

    Microwave any combo of spinach, peppers, onion, mushrooms, other veges and drain after they are soft. Pour eggwhites (1/2 cup per person) into non-stick griddle with a little spray oil if needed. load the pan with the veges and low fat shredded cheese and make omelet, Add salsa to taste-very low in calories and changing up the veges adds variety.

    Also cook up a pear or apple with some cinnamon and a drizzle of agave syrup, add to two ounces of greek 0% yogurt and it is low fat low calorie and yummy!

    My easy breakfast - 30g rolled oats, 1 whole grated apple, a few raisins, and 100ml semiskimmed milk all mixed together. Delicious, filling and about 240 calories.

    I keep turkey sausage and microwave it for 35 seconds and it's done. Then I spray a coffee cup with non stick spray, scramble 2 egg whites in the cup, add a spoonful of diced tomatoes and microwave that for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Breakfast in less than 5 minutes. High protein, low carb, low calorie and tasty.

    I've started making green breakfast smoothies. A cup of vanilla yogurt blended with a cup or 2 of spinach leaves til it's smooth. Then add frozen fruit, bananas, etc. It's really tasty!

    I have been making smoothies for breakfast lately. It can be fast if you pre-measure everything the night before. My recipe for a strawberry banana smoothie is:

    1/2 Banana (frozen or unfrozen) I prefer frozen
    1/2 c. frozen strawberries, unsweetened
    1/2 c. skim milk
    1/2. c. Greek yogurt (vanilla or plain) I add this for the protein
    1-2 tbsp. flax seed (for fiber)

    Blend until smooth.

    It's a less than 300 calories, but it keeps me full for most of the morning.

    I have a cup of yogurt or oatmeal for breakfast and then a protein shake as I drive to work. That keeps me pretty full for a few hours. I than have some fruit between breakfast and lunch.

    I am a slave to habit....double dose of oatmeal every morning and coffee and sometimes fruit, although I usually wait and have fruit for my morning snack....I am interested in the Special K frozen breakfast sandwiches someone mentioned....but they are probably full of preservatives and/or not available here yet (Canada)
