    My latest breakfast discovery is a multigrain oatmeal (PC Blue Menu, if you happen to live somewhere where they carry it)--for 170 cals, it gives you 6 grams of fiber, and I find I need to add a little bit of honey to sweeten it (1/2 tbsp = 30 cals, bringing the total to 200 calories). All you need is boiling water, although most days I also add a splash of milk as well. It comes in plain and cinnamon spice, but so far I've only tried the plain version, because I love the ability to add different spices or dried fruit, etc. so breakfast can be different every morning.

    I know 200-250 cals can seem like a lot, depending on what your daily allowance is, but this stuff keeps you full for at least a couple of hours, and it's perfect "comfort food" for when the days are short in the winter.

    You can prepare some oatmeal with fruit and cinnamon in the microwave, if you have one at work. I think it tastes better on the stove, but add a little stevia and it sweetens it right up.

    I like the Great Value brand Strawberry Awake cereal with skim milk. The cereal itself is 110 calories for 1 cup, and I usually do 1.5 cups to fill me up without using a ton of calories.

    I don't know about you but I need eggs for breakfast. :love: I can do oatmeal or fruit and yogurt sometimes but I usually do the Jimmy Dean D'lights because they are portable and fast. They have egg whites turkey sausage or bacon, and cheese. I am totally a pork eater so I was a little worried about turkey bacon but they are good. :drinker:

    I eat a medium banana, small light yogurt and 1/4 C fiber one all mixed together. Usually holds me over pretty well!

    I don't like breakfast food so this is a challenge for me too.

    I make oatmeal with the water cooler hot water.
    Boiled egg
    Orange or Apple
    Yogurt
    Sometimes I'll just take deli sliced turkey 98% fat free, cream cheese and these sandwich thins I found at walmart and have a sandwich.

    I eat one egg white and one whole egg, a piece of cheese and 2 pieces of mulit grain toast. This will get me through the entire morning without even thinking of food until lunch :)

    I keep Fiber One original cereal at my desk - it's a cubicle. There is a community fridge that I keep skim milk in. I also have a little electric kettle at my desk for heating water and keep oatmeal here. I'll bring in fruit to go with the cereal or oatmeal. It's working!

    2 hard boiled eggs w/ some yogart and fresh fruit, or with Turkey bacon (you can cook and then reheat it at work) Sometimes I'll have a half of bagel (can't remember then name but there under 100cal) w/ a wedge of laughing cow cheese. You can also pre-make an omlet filled with veggies and re-heat. A slice of weight watchers wheat bread with a tbsp of Peanut butter and a fruit. Cottage cheese with fruit. To name a few. Multigrain Oatmeal. . . mmmmm.

    Fiber One bran cereal, 1/2 cup with 1/2 cup of milk is only 100 calories and 57% of your fiber for the day which helps fill you up and then i take a banana for later and eat that between 10 and 11.

    I used to struggle with breakfast because I would try to find something to fill me up for 6 hours and I would always end up cheating with whatever I could find at the office (which was never healthy food). This would then be a downward spiral because I'd feel so bad about cheating that I would just give up and eat whatever I craved.

    So instead I've started just eating small meals every 3 hours. So I'll start off the morning with a Greek yogurt, and then 3 hours later have a special K cereal bar, and then 3 hours later it's time for a small lunch, then 3 hours later have a snack, and then 3 hours later it's dinner. I never really get full, but I'm never really hungry either.

    Silk - Organic No Sugar Added Soy Milk, 1 cup -OR- Horizon Organic Skim or 1% Milk, 1 cup
    Kashi - - Organic Cinnamon Harvest Shredded Wheat, 28 biscuits
    Fresh Fruit - Banana 7-8", 1 Medium
    Organic Brown Egg - Cage Free Egg, 1 Large Egg Hardboiled

    -435 calories

    Typical breakfast -- the protein and the fiber fill me up until lunch. The fruit helps kick the sugar/caffeine craving as well as kick starting blood sugar levels.

    If I get hungry before lunch, I'll usually snack on some almonds as well for some healthy fat and protein.

    Instant oatmeal (100 cals) with splenda, or for 120 cals flavored instant oatmenl. Then eat some fresh fruit between the oatmeal and lunch. I also have a yogurt between lunch and going home. I do not feel hungry

    Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. Usually I would have fruit with yogurt and granola or just some fruit but really I am an egg person. Here is a link to hungry girl egg in a cup, they are soo delicous and easy and quick. You could buy a 500 ml of egg whites and keep it in the fridge at work and it would last you four days. With this I also have one or two peices of whole grain toast and I am not even hungry for hours later.

    I have to cook my eggs in the cup for 2 mins 15 seconds though so just play around with what works for you. Enjoy.

    I work in an office and make my breakfast when I get in. I ate Quaker's Weight Control Oatmeal. It's fast, and easy, and still healthy for you.

    I eat it at 8:30am/9am and do not need anything until 12 o'clock noon which is my lunch hour.

    I have a ham and egg muffin.

    I mold black forest ham into muffin tins greased with EVOO and then crack an egg into each muffin cup, break the yolk sprinkle with fresh ground pepper and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes.

    102 calories each, fat 5g, protein 11, carbs 1 per muffin

    I store them in a tupperware in the fridge, they last about 5 days and eat one on my drive to work and have one in the afternoon for my snack. They are good cold or warm.

    Any flavor Oikos greek yogurt (4pk size) with a serving of Bare Naked Peak Protein granola mixed in, plus an orange. You can put the granola and sectioned orange into baggies or containers at home, then just pop things open and eat right at your desk :)
