    Saute in EVOO a slice of onion (diced) with a stalk of celery (diced) (Adds a nice crunch), and a Hatch green chili (I prefer "Hot", but you can get "Mild", "Medium", or "X-Hot"). Add Lawry's Seasoned Salt.
    Add 1/2 C Egg Beaters
    119 Calories and keeps me going all morning.

    1 whole wheat waffle (90 cal)
    1 tbsp nut butter (peanut, almond, sunflower, cashew etc.) (90 - 100 cal)
    1 tbsp low-sugar jelly OR sliced strawberries (25 cal)
    1 cup of tea with truvia and lowfat milk (30 cal)

    OR

    Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt (80 cal) with 7 crushed Quaker Oat Squares (70 cal) and 5 crushed walnuts (100 cal) mixed in. I also have this with 1 cup of tea with truvia and lowfat milk

    These breakfasts keep me in the under 300 cal range for breakfast, provide me with protein, and almost always fill me until lunch. Today I went off my usual breakfast by having some cheerios with banana and strawberry sliced on top. I was STARVING one hour later! I'm not doing that again! LOL!

    I have a Yoplait strawberry/banana yogurt which is about 210 calories and a special k sausage, egg, cheese flatbread sandwhich which is about 240 calories. = 450 calories total. On days where I feel like I cant stomach the sandwhich, I just eat the yogurt (210 calories) with some granola by Nature Valley which is about 210 calories. = 420 calories total.

    Not tiny numbers but I love to eat bigger meals but less times per day!

    My usual breakfast is 1 Yoplait Greek 100 2x protein yoghurt - peach, blk cherry, lemon, lime, strawberry or vanilla = 100 cals.

    and a cup of black coffee = 0 cals.

    Sometimes I'll also have a piece of fruit - banana, apple or pear = 100-115 cals.

    Or for a little variety I'll add 1/4 cup Post Great Grains Cranberry Almond Crunch cereal to the vanilla flavor yoghurt for some crunch = 60 cals.

    Even if I have all options at once (which I do sometimes), that's still only 260-275 Cals.

    It's only available here in China, but Sorghum flour steamed bun with a container of Chocolate soy milk (light). 305 calories. That keeps me full and happy from about 730-1145 when lunch is.

    I often cook 1/4cup oats with 1cup water and some cinnamon (keep going, it does thicken up!) then have it with a bit of unsweetened yoghurt - makes a huge bowl of goodness for only around 160 calories!

    1 1/2 cups of Honey Nut Cheerios
    1/2 cup 2% milk
    chocolate Mint Clif Builder Bar

    On days that I do cardio I also have a banana.

    My lunch is always under 200c though.

    I love Cheerios. I have this as my mid day snack but I use almond milk instead. Only 30 calories a cup. Unsweetened almond milk because the Cheerios are already sweet!

    I have never been much of a breakfast person...but everyone keeps saying most important meal...I am usually good with a cup of coffee. But after starting my day with a cardio workout to jump start my metabolism, I find my stomach needs something. The perfect food for me is peanut butter. Just a tablespoon full. Sometimes on a small piece of toast but usually right off the spoon then I chug a large glass of ice water. It sticks with me for some reason. By the time I get to work that cup of coffee is perfect.

    Mine would be a simple veggie egg white omelette.
    -3 egg whites
    -1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
    -1 cup baby spinach
    -salt pepper to taste

    according to MFP it's ONLY 73 CALORIES! (sometimes I add lemon pepper and it's refreshing in the morning)
    I make this too. it is delicious! Egg whites are so low calorie!

    Also plain oatmeal and 60 sec from being done while boiling I crack a raw egg in it and mix.

    Me too, this. Plus some cinnamon--tastes like rice pudding to me.
