    Those all look tasty...but don't they give you too much sugar? I'm having the HARDEST time keeping my sugar down, and I don't even eat a ton...mostly fruits and such.

    I've been going with broccoli (at least a cup), onions and peppers...scramble in an egg and a tablespoon of shredded cheddar, serve it up with half a slice of whole wheat or one Kashi whole wheat waffle (no butter or syrup--oh, how I miss butter).

    I'm not a diabetic, so I don't watch the sugar total when it comes to natural sugar in fruits and veggies. I just try to avoid added or refined sugar.

    I like to mix things up for breakfast...but one of my current favorites is my "1-2-3-4 breakfast". Silly name, I know, but makes it easy for me. 1 whole egg, 2 egg whites, 3 ounces of seasoned cooked lean ground turkey, 4 tablespoons of salsa.

    I cook the whole package of ground turkey at once - season it up however I want - and put it in a container in the fridge. When I get ready for breakfast, I just take out 3 ounces and heat in a small skillet with the salsa, mix in the eggs...scramble it all up and enjoy! Sometimes I'll toast a Thomas wheat mini bagel for another 100 calories, but sometimes I just have it alone. Around 260 calories.

    I eat this almost every morning before work and it sticks with me EASILY til afternoon:
    2 whole eggs, 1/3 cup egg whites, 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach, 1 or 2 chopped baby portabella mushrooms, 1 TBL or so chopped shallot, salt & pepper. Scramble these together and top with 1 TBL of grated asiago, romano or parmesan. Tastes delicious, has over 30g of protein and about 250 calories! (this feels "easy" to me; it takes about 10 minutes to prepare)

    I make "refrigerator oatmeal" aka overnight oats or swiss muesli - 1/3 cup greek yogurt, 1/3 cup milk, 1/3 cup oats and around 100 g frozen berries - I use a bit of honey or jam to sweeten it, plus some vanilla or almond extract. I occassionally add a few nuts or seeds or craisins or sub in Dorset Muesli for the oats. You can make it the night before and eat it in the morning. I tend to make it in the morning and carry it to work to eat at my desk. Here's a link to different flavour combinations.

    It tastes like dessert and keeps me full until lunch.

    Rolled oats and a banana boiled in sugar free almond milk. After boiling, I top the dish with a few blueberries and cinnamon. It takes 5 minutes to cook on the stove, and it's fresh and warm. No need for milk with sugar as the sugar from the banana gives plenty of flavor to the meal.

    Chocolate Shakeology or GNC Pro Performance Protein Bars. The bars have 30 grams of protein which keeps me full until lunch, which is 1pm. Sometimes I do get hungry about 12-12:30 but I know that I will have lunch soon, so I don't need a snack in between meals. My favorite flavor bars are the chocolate peanut butter and cookies n' cream.

    I love eggs, but have no time to make them during the week, so I have eggs over the weekend. Sunny side up are my fav.
