    I have to have a protein based breakfast--my favorite is eggs (or eggbeaters with a bit of cheese) and cottage cheese (lowfat--1/2 cup). If I eat cereal I am literally starving within an hour. I can do toast and peanut butter and that seems to stick with me rather well also.

    Ive been skipping breki lately. I try to get it in, but I'm not hungry until 10-10:30am normally.

    I always make a smoothie the night before tho. I either drink it on the way to work, or during Smoko.

    My all time favourite breki is Eggs on toast, with cooked Mushrooms, Capsicum and Tomato. OMG! Delish!

    why dont you try an oat based cereal like oatflakes they are delicious and crunchy.

    I tend to have my standard oats soaked with water overnight with blueberries, about 4 almonds chopped (they go further!), cinnamon, skim milk and a tablespoon of greek yogurt honestly is the most delicious breakfast and keeps me going for hours. If I dont have time to make it in the morning I make it the night before and pop it in the fridge to grab and go the next morning though you may have to add a little extra milk this way.

    I dont understand the cheerio thing its our equivalent to Vegemite I guess. :)

    Sometimes I make French toast with multigrain bread. On Sundays I usually make a scramble with eggs, spinach, mushrooms, and a tiny bit of cheese. And steel cut oats cooked overnight with pumpkin is Da Bomb.

    I love breakfast! This is what I had this morning. Toast, cream cheese (the original recipe calls for ricotta, but I don't have any), sauteed kale and a fried egg. Very satisfying!

    My other favorites are a coconut curry scrambled egg with butternut squash and / or spinach and / or broccoli, cauliflower.

    And finally, I love shredding a sweet potato, pan frying it with some coconut oil and onions, adding a dash of cinnamon and salt, and adding a fried egg on top.

    I have one whole english muffin but make two open faced egg sandwiches with them. I put a fried egg (made with coconut oil) , half a slice of cheese (wholefat), a tomato, bunches of raw spinach, and maybe some onion each, also a little avocado sometimes. Soo yummy. If I want to do it more than a couple times a week, I'll do just egg whites. Also, smoked salmon is great with this.

    I either have oatmeal with fresh fruit thrown in (usually bananas/strawberries) or a a slice of whole grain toast with peanut butter and either a yogurt or cup of milk. Usually keeps me full for at least 3 hours!

    I go in phases, right now a couple three slices of Jennie O low fat turkey bacon (package says not good for microwave, but works fine for me), an apple and sometimes 1/3 cup oat bran just as a snack, no milk. I try to dip my apple in the oat bran cause it tastes gooooood!

    I could not function without breakfast. Here are some samples of my breakfasts:
    - 80g - 100g scrambled eggs w/ ground black pepper, 60g banana, 50g apple, 75g pear (not all fruit the same meal)
    - oatmeal (plain) w/ fresh fruit
    - Bob's Mill cereals: steel cut oats, cracked wheat, gf mighty tasty hot cereal, 10 grain hot cereal, apple, cinn. & grains cereal, organic creamy buckwheat - there are so many others I want to try!
    - grits
    - Trader Joe's multi grain
    I never add sugar, honey or syrup to my hot cereals. These are one of my favorite meals. It took me a while to get used to the cereals without sugar. Some people add cinnamon, raisins, nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds) or other fresh or dried fruits to their cereals. I am quite satisfied with the flavor and texture of plain cereal.

    On weekends I splurge and have bacon or chicken sausage with my eggs.

    Other fresh fruits I enjoy: mango, pineapple, grapes, grapefruit, oranges, kiwi. I have at least 1-2 fruits with my breakfast daily. Example 1/2 banana and 1/4 apple sliced. I get my sugar fix from my fruit.

    I also always have 8 oz of skim milk every day with breakfast.

    My standard workday breakfast is 1 sachet of sultana, raisin, cranberry and apple Oats So Simple Porridge with semi skimmed milk & ~50g fresh blueberries followed by ~80g Total 0% Greek yoghurt with a handful of berries (often I have blueberries here too because they're just so yum!). Comes in at under 350kcal and is delicious (I find plain porridge hard work too!).

    At weekends a soft boiled egg and slice of wholemeal/seedy toast (soldiers) with a scrape of Lurpak lighter spreadable followed by the yoghurt/berry combination goes down very nicely!

    On Monday, Wednesday and Friday I have homemade oatbran pancakes (which I batch cook then freeze for convenience) toped with smoked salmon, reduced sugar & salt baked beans and poached egg respectively. On Tuesday and Thursday I have porridge oats with dried prunes, dried berry mix or fresh blueberries. Without fail I have half a grapefruit (I try to rotate the colours) or 200g of melon as an accompaniment I drink green tea (or coffee if I need it) too.

    On Saturday and Sunday I tend to have a weight watchers bagel with poached egg, lean bacon or veggie sausages.

    I LOVE breakfast time and am always super hungry so cereal just doesn’t cut it for me.

    I have porridge most days but when I have more time I make scrambled eggs and mix in some low fat cream cheese (philidelphia) at the end and some chopped chives if I have them and occaisionally smoked salmon.

    Another favourite is dried fried mushrooms, onion and garlic, when cooked add some philidelphia and either a little low fat creme fraiche or milk to loosen it, I usually chop a veggie sausage into the mix and eat it as it is. Also good on toast.
