Breakfast Help!

I need help with Breakfast foods that I can make the night before (or on a sunday and have it last all week). I do not have time in the morning to make a healthy breakfast, and everything that is quick is either processed, too many calories, or just completely unhealthy! And I hate oatmeal sadly. I have allotted around 400 cals or less for breakfast. Suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    Maybe you like this it`s under 400 cals and you can prep some before :)
    Fruit and Nut Breakfast Brown Rice
    YOU'LL NEED:

    ¾ cup cooked brown rice (can use precooked frozen version)
    1 apple, finely chopped
    1 Tbsp. sliced almonds
    1 Tbsp. chopped walnuts
    ½ tsp. cinnamon
    2 tsp. honey

    Top rice with apple, nuts and cinnamon; drizzle with honey.

    I have the same problem...I have fresh fruit - grapes, strawberries and peach chopped up with yoghurt and bran flakes. It is heavy on the sugar but very filling and comes in under 350 calories. I make it the night before - takes about 10mins and leave it in the fridge ready to take to work.

    Nature is really good at quick breakfasts:bananas, berries, apples, pears, oranges, grapefruit, peaches, grapes, nuts, ................ What's so hard?

    I would make a big frittata/crust less quiche with eggs, perhaps some meat and loads of vegies. Cut it in to portions and freeze - you can eat it cold or reheated. It's a great source of protein and fat to keep you full, and everyone needs vegies :P you can prepare it to suit your own macro/calorie needs.

    Search for DIY museli bars or breakfast muffins. You can prepare them in advance, and making them yourself you can nix all the extra sugar you get in store brought ones

    have you considered making your own Breakfast Bars. There are some good recipes on YouTube using organic products

    Cashew butter (30 grams) and banana sandwich (any peanut or tree nut butter really)
    1/2 scoop chocolate whey protein in 1 cup unsweetened almond milk.

    Really satisfying and quick to make!
    ~400 calories depending on amounts/brands
