    I don't like to eat much for breakfast...makes me feel sick. What I do eat most of the time is 1/8C instant oatmeal + 1/4C water + 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil + 1-2 dashes of salt. I will try some of the other suggestions for other meals/snacks.

    Edited to add water.

    I'm currently on "Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Grain High Fiber Hot Cereal". Cook it stove-top for 10 minutes. I mix in Tera's Organic Whey Protein (1/2 scoop per serving of Bob's), and 1 tbsp of organic honey per serving. I make about 6 servings worth every Sunday, then refrigerate it in mugs for the week, so I can quickly eat before leaving for work without having to cook every morning. Works great for a good high protein high fiber breakfast. (about 250 calories per serving with everything above)

    I do plain steel-cut oats made with water as directed, but add a scoop of body fortress whey protein vanilla flavored, with cinnamon. Its delish.

    I have a mix-and-match formula. I always add 1 tsp each of chia seeds and flax seeds. Then I add 1 tbsp dried fruit (apples. raisins, cherries, blueberries, whatever sounds good that week), 1 tbsp chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, pistachios, whatever goes well with my fruit) and 1 tsp sweetener (either brown sugar, real maple syrup or honey). Every once in a while I will find or make a fruit butter (apple butter, pumpkin butter, peach butter) and I will replace the dried fruit with that – but if I use a fruit butter I omit the sweetener. And I almost always top it with cinnamon because I love cinnamon. Yum yum!

    I use the "Apples in a Bag" recipe and put them in my oatmeal, but I only put 1/2 tsp of sugar in since it doesn't really need much. I also use whatever apples I have, doesn't matter the kind (although I usually have pink lady apples), any of them taste great with this recipe!

    It depends when I eat it.

    - Breakfast: I add raisin and banana slices. sometimes I use skim milk and sometimes just hot water.

    - Lunch: I replace rice with oat porridge... and I enjoy it with chicken/fish and veggies.

    I add approx a tablespoon of raisins to 2 cups of water and 1 cup of rolled oats. Bring to a boil and then simmer on low until the water is all soaked up (approx 15 minutes) stirring occasionally.

    I put a cup of cooked oatmeal in a big bowl and top with raspberries, blackberries, blueberries (1/2 - 1 cup of each). Love it this way!!

    I put the leftover oatmeal in a glass jar. When I reheat I add 1/8 - 1/4 cup of water to the oatmeal and warm up on lowest setting in a covered saucepan.

    I drink my oats every day...

    1 banana
    1 scoop protein powder
    1/2 cup dry oats
    6 ice cubes
    1 cup water or unsweetened almond milk.

    About 400-450 calories and it serves as my first meal as well.
