    I have a 1/2 fried egg on a Wasa whole weat slice and a small (0.33 oz) slice of cheese on a Wasa Flatbread Rosemary. I like Wasa because the calorie are low but the fiber is there. Often I have the same this again mid morning.

    1 Cup of egg whites(120 calories), 3 slices of turkey bacon(90 calories), 5 oz of avocado(250 calories).
    throw a 1/3 red bell pepper, and a 1/3 green bell.(2/3 is about 20 calories)
    if you don't like avocado, sub in low carb/calorie yogurt(Kroger brand carbmaster is my favorite, 60calories each for 6oz)

    1 cup of the egg whites is roughly about 4 whole eggs.
    Also about 20oz of black coffee

    I tried a new granola type cereal (Newman's Own) this morning and if was quite tasty with a small splash of almond milk! And I wasn't hungry for a while after. I bring it to work in a Baggie and eat it here haha.

    1 sautéed chicken sausage + 1 fried egg + broccoli (ok I know not everybody likes broccoli enough for breakfast, but I do! )

    omelette with two scrambled eggs, black beans, peppers/onions, top with hot sauce!

    greek yogurt + peanut butter or almond butter + oats + cinnamon (as a dip) then use apples for dipping

    half a pita, top with avocado and egg, bake in oven until egg is set and pita is brown and delicious

    half an avocado with sunflower seeds and 2 tbsp. cottage cheese

    almonds and juice (I recently bought a juicer and am obsessed! kale + carrot + cucumber + lemon + apple = yumm! tons of energy too!)

    Brussels and onions and chicken sausage sautéed together (yes, I would also eat Brussels for breakfast, delicious!)

    smoothies are my go to breakfast though: this morning I took 1 cup berries + 8 oz almond milk + 1 tbsp. cocoa powder + 1/2 scoop whey protein powder, blend, drink, YUM!

    I've tried doing the oatmeal thing (hate the texture) and cereal (not a fan of milk ((weird i know))).... So i've decided I'm more of a savory breakfast person..... I buy a pack of Thomas brand thin everything bagels (plain, wholewheat onion work well too), a package of Laughing Cow 1/3 less fat cream cheese (herb & garlic, garden veggie are my favs) and Adli's brand fit and active sliced turkey breast. Toast the bagel, spread 1 wedge over both halves and load up with 3 or 4 slices of turkey delish and satisfying! 175 Cals, 3 Fat, 12 Protein, 13 Calcium & 5 Fiber. Hope this helps!!!

    Take either a 100% whole wheat or 100 calorie english muffin and slice in half. Mix together 1/4 cup crushed pineapple (drained) and 1/4 fat free ricotta cheese and spread evenly on each half of muffin. Sprinkle with cinnamon to taste. Place under broiler for about 5 - 10 minutes until warm.

    Since I've got 3 kids to feed in the a.m. and we're usually rushing out the door, I make mine simple, filling and flavorful. I take some form of whole grain muffin, thin bagel or otherwise (about 100 calories), and 2 slices of extra sharp cheddar for flavor, and either put on sliced turkey or ham for a filling sandwich, quick to make in the toaster oven, with about 300 calories. On the weekends, I'll add bacon and eggs to the sandwich and not the turkey. Lasts me until lunchtime. My boys have the same sandwich, and daughter just has cereal and bananas.

    about every other day i have plain unsweetened yogurt (one cup) with strawberries (1/2 cup), walnuts (1/8 cup) and granola (1/4 cup). its filling, tasty, and under 300 calories with my coffee. the other half of the week is the dreaded boring porridge, hahhaha. sometimes i have a melon half with cottage cheese.

    My new favorite is a Thomas Triple Heath English muffin (100 calories), topped with two tbsp. reduced fat peanut butter (190 calories), 1/2 banana (around 60 calories) and a drizzle of honey (around 30). Super delicious and keeps me very full!

    I have 2 scrambled egg whites with a piece of 2% cheese on a thomas multigrain english muffin, According to eat this not that it is among the best english muffins (has 1/3 daily fiber) I look forward to my breakfast! On a side note I use a microwave omelet maker from nordic ware and cook the eggs in the microwave in 1 minute. This way time is no excuse for a poor breakfast! Remember also to drink lots of water!

    My breakfast for the last 18 months has primarily included a serving of FiberOne cereal with 1/4 cup almond milk; 1/2 serving of plain Greek yogurt with a splash of vanilla and 85g's of fruit (blackberries, blueberries or strawberries); 2 poached egges (1 whole, 1 egg white only); 2 slices of low sodium bacon; and a slice of whole wheat toast (heavy bread, not fluffy crap from the bread aisle). I recently added a serving of Pom brand juice as well. I will adjust it here and there every now and then (substitue a different cereal, use skim milk, biscuits and gravy), but for the most part this is a standard breakfast.

    I lost 77 pounds in 7 months eating that type of breakfast and have maintained the new weight for 8 months.

    Dilly egg on Honey Toast (Fry an egg with some dill weed sprinkled on it. Put honey on a slice of toast. Put dill-egg on honey-toast. Yum. Especially good if you smash the softened yolk into the toast.)

    Greek yogurt with raisins and Cheerios stirred in.

    Cottage cheese with pineapple chunks (Use a snack cup of pineapple and drink the juice before adding chunks to the cottage cheese or stir it in for a soupy consistency.)
