breakfast suggetions

I go to work early so I make my own baggies of "instant oatmeal" and take them to work. I fill 5 of the snack size ziplock baggies with the following:

1/2c quick oats
a little bit of granulated splenda
a LOT of cinnamon
1 tbsp craisins or raisins

Shake it up. When I get to work I dump it into a coffee mug and put a cup of boiling water in it, stir it up, and let it sit for a couple minutes. About 2.5 hrs later I'll have either a protein bar or banana to make it til lunch.

On the weekends I usually make 2 eggs over easy on top of unbuttered toast with 3 slices of microwavable bacon (80 cals for 3 slices).

has anyone any suggestions for breakfast recipes please

During the week, I'll have a piece of fruit, a few strips of Turkey bacon around 7:30. Then at 9 or so I have a Shakeology.
On weekends, I'll make a veggie omlet or have a shake. Depends on time.

Today, I had 2 pieces of Turkey Bacon, a Dannon blueberry yogart and I'm going to have my Shakeology with strawberries in about 30 min.

Toasted 100% whole wheat english muffins drizzled with 1.5 tsp. of EVOO
1 whole with 2 egg whites cooked with 1 c. diced red bell pepper... 1.5 tsp. of EVOO topped with 1/4 c. of finely shredded taco cheese (or whatever kind you like).
A piec of fruit.

throw a few raw diced veggies in a ramekin, crack an egg or two on top (you can whisk them up first if you prefer) and throw it in the oven for 15-18 minutes while you are getting ready in the morning. With or without cheese, it is super yummy. so many veggies are tasty with egg! I had broccoli and mushrooms this morning.

I found a recipe for egg muffins. I changed a few ingredients...just have fun with it. They are great for storing in your freezer and pulling out the next day to reheat in the microwave!

For me, I've been on a scrambled egg white kick lately. There's so much you can do with them. Right now, I'm on a kick where I add jalapenos, red onions, and a couple of tablespoons of pepper jack cheese to mine. Sometimes I will add some Co-jack cheese and onions. For a while I was adding a tablespoon of real bacon pieces and some co-jack cheese. The possibilities are endless.

All of the above keeps me very satisfied and it's yummy.

This is what I do....take egg whites....microwave for 55 seconds, put it on a slice of toasted multi-grain bread with Kraft cheese, black pepper and ketchup. Wrap it up in aluminum foil and eat it on the way to work....literally takes 3 minutes to make.

Egg Sandwich (Thomas 100 cal english muffin, fried egg, 2 slices deli ham, 1/2 slice American cheese--about 240 calories)
Egg white scramble (use as many egg whites as you want, add any veggies that you like--i usually use 4 egg whites. add spinach, onions, peppers, mushrooms, deli meat, left over grilled chicken, etc.)
Protein Coffee Smoothie (1 c coffee, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (or vanilla), 1 c ice, 1/2 banana (optional))
Cheese Omlete
Banana & Spoonful of Natural PB
1 c cottage cheese & 1c mixed berries

I usually try to have my breakfast be high in protein because it seems to make me more alert/focused in the morning, and I'm fuller longer, but you can add carbs to any of these dishes if you want.
