    Forgot one: oat & fruit pancakes. Soak 2 c oats in 3 c milk overnight, add 2 eggs, flour, salt & sugar to taste (I usually add 1 c flour and 1/4 c brown sugar), 1/4 c oil, and 1 tsp each baking soda & powder, and fruit to taste (I usually use apples, blueberries, bananas or a combination thereof). Depending on what fruit I add, I use different spices, but usually cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, cardamom or some combination.

    They freeze really well, and you can just pop them in the toaster to reheat. They crisp up when you toast them, and are delicious with honey or jam or peanut butter or whatever. They usually work out to about 275 calories and 10g of protein for two medium-sized pancakes.

    ETA: forgot to mention salt and spices.

    I love this breakfast because I find it's a good balance of carbs, protein, and fat and it usually gives me enough energy to last until I can eat again!

    2 whole eggs and 4 whites with whatever veggies left over from dinner - spinach, broccoli, cauliflower...scramble it up with low fat cheese melted on top and YUM!

    I have a hard time eating oatmeal or cereal for breakfast...I get the shakes and I am starving an hour later - I have a very strange body!

    Spray the inside of a coffee cup with cooking spray/olive oil/coconut oil/whatever...pour in a serving of egg whites/egg beaters and up to 1/2c chopped omelette fixins, and season. Pop an english muffin/bread/roll/whatever in the toaster. Nuke eggs for 2 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the cooked egg, slide onto bread of choice, top with the other half and walk out the door. ( you can skip the bread and place a tortilla on the coffee cup during the last 15 seconds of cooking to warm it up and wrap the egg in the tortilla wrap-style, if you like, too.)

    Prepping ingredients the night before can make this literally a 2 minute breakfast.

    Genius and right up my alley!!!

    You are welcome...enjoy!

    If you use whole eggs, be sure to break up the yolks before you nuke them, the yolks have a tendency to pop and make a mess.

    I have egg whites scrambled, chicken sausage with sage and my P28 protein bread with pumpkin spice cream cheese. It's my favorite meal of the day...and a vat of coffee of course. :laugh:

    My favorite breakfast is a Kashi honey almond flax bar and low fat string cheese stick. It keeps me going for a few hours then I have a low fat yogurt as a mid-morning snack. However, I eat this all the time and need variety too.

    I usually eat 2 eggs over medium/hard with a slice of sourdough toast, totaling 250 calories and 16g protein. Sometimes I'll add sausage or bacon for more protein.

    I really love biscuits and gravy too. Mmmm.

    I don't enjoy savoury breakfasts but needed more protein than I was getting from oatmeal so I've started making sweet scrambled eggs or omlettes in the morning. You can make it quite light and low calorie by only using egg whites, I usually use one whole egg and the rest just the whites. The scrambled eggs are easy to do, just beat the eggs, add honey if you like (I don't always) and then add fruit. Sometimes I mash up a banana and blend it together with the eggs. You can add peanut butter for extra protein, sometimes I add cinnamon or cocoa powder. If you want to make an omlette just make it as usual but instead of adding cheese and veg, add fruit :) I usually add some sugar or honey to the omlette mixture before hand.

    I am a commuter (1 hour) so I don't like eating breakfast at home (too early). I am really predictable and have the same thing at my desk every morning. Thomas bagel thin with 1 T Natural Skippy PB and green tea. Every now and then I will have a special K flatbread egg/veggie sandwich.

    Rolled oats with cinnamon and a bit of brown sugar :) OR an oatmeal risotto. Rolled oats + water (depending on the consistency you want) + 1tsp parmesan then to top it 1 strip turkey bacon fried with no oil and soft boiled egg (since I suck at poaching)

    Microwave 1/2 cup dry oats, 6 egg whites, and 1 cup of water until it stops being so soupy / you're satisfied with the consistency.

    Add some stevia + cinnamon and baby you've got a stew goin'.

    Tastes just like oatmeal to me and gives me the protein I'm looking for. I multiply the above by 1.5 since I'm a big guy.

    I've been making "cookies" that I can bring to work to have breakfast when I'm ready, and they are so good! Mix 3 mashed bananas and 1 cup oatmeal, shape into cookies and bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees. You can add 1/2 cup of mix-ins...this week it's sunflower seeds and mini dark chocolate chips

    Interesting...I must try this :)

    I usually eat one of these options:

    1. 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tsp honey, and cinnamon
    2. 1/2 cup oatmeal, tsp of honey or brown sugar, and cinnamon (or dried fruit)
    3. 1/2 cup cottage cheese with mandarin oranges
    4. thin sliced cheddar and salami and a piece of fruit.

    Yum!

    You get to eat all of this in ONE breakfast, or are these 5 options?

    On work days I generally have a protein shake made with skin mile, and sometimes with greek yogurt and fruit added.

    Saturday mornings I try to have something different like pancakes, eggs and some type of meat, etc.

    Sundays I leave early, also. Usually have cereal.

    My breakfast is always a protein. An egg with spinach on a piece of toast or English muffin, peanut butter toast, Greek yogurt and fruit. And a cup of hot tea or water. This keeps me full for awhile And then I have a small snack of fruit before lunch. Hope that helps any.
