    1/3 cup oatmeal
    1 cup frozen fruit
    1 banana
    water - at least 1/3 cup
    nuke it in the micro for 4 - 5 minutes

    Serve with 3 tablespoons yoghurt - sometimes greek depends what is in the fridge.

    If you can stand your oatmeal runny then more water and less time in the micro.

    I've been making crustless quiches with eggs, egg whites, peppers, onions, cheese, sausage/ham. I just cut a piece and microwave it.

    Overnight oats
    Greek yogurt with berries, pb2, whatever I feel like
    Bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon
    Ricotta pudding (I add milk and some instant pudding mix, and some fruit sometimes too - excellent with frozen fruit and left in the fridge overnight)
    I did breakfast burritos for a while - cheese, microwaved egg, two breakfast sausage links in a tortilla

    When I have more time

    Croque-Madame (ham and swiss open faced sandwich toasted with a fried egg on top
    Protein pancakes
    Crepes (typically I put ham and swiss in it, or jam/nutella)
    Oatmeal

    Yeah I like variety.

    1/2 cup (raw) oatmeal, but cooked of course. With 2 teaspoons Splenda brown sugar blend and 1/4 cup 1% milk. (And COFFEE! with 1/4 cup whole milk.) Satisfying and holds me for 2 to 3 hours. I couldn't enjoy this on my previous low carb diet, but I can with MFP! : ) It all equals 253 calories.

    Plain Greek yogurt with maple syrup or honey, and cinnamon, mixed with a chopped apple and 1/4 cup raw old fashioned oats

    1 cup cottage cheese with a grapefruit

    PB and banana on whole wheat toast

    Used to eat a lot of overnight oats, but tired of them.

    Smoothie every single morning. I LOVE my Vitamix! Base is always a cup of coconut milk. I add in 1-2 servings of fruit (usually mixed berries and a small chunk of banana) and 1-2 servings of veggies (kale, spinach, cucumber are my go-to veggies) and 1 tbsp. chia seeds.

    I always drink hot tea or lemon water first thing followed with my new favorite chia seed pudding. I make on Sunday and it lasts me through the week. Very easy, healthy, and is full of protein and fiber so its very filling. I switch up the fruit topping I use. Blueberry is my favorite and gives me the extra boost of antioxidants. I will also sometimes add 1 tsp Acai powder to search serving before I eat.

    I eat after I get to work, so I need something fast and easy. I have a protein bar.

    I make 2 quarts of steel cut oatmeal weekly. The soak overnight and cook for 20 minutes kind. I scoop some out daily top it with peanut butter and nuke it. I have a little fruit with it. I save my sugar for chocolate.

    I usually mix all this up Sunday night because quinoa takes so long to fully cook and expand, but I end up with:
    - quinoa
    - ground flax seed
    - chia seed
    - honey
    - soy milk if available. sometimes it's homemade almond milk, other times it's just water

    I just reheat it on the stove. If I wind up with more water or milk, I'll toss a bit of oatmeal in to soak the rest up. It ends up begin a little over 4 tbsp total and around 220-300 calories.

    Sometimes if I feel like doing something savoury in the morning, I cut the honey and drop an egg in to cook.

    Right now it's: 1 whole egg, scrambled with salsa (and cilantro if I've got it), half an English muffin, coffee. Other days, it's ⅓ cup of homemade muesli with ⅓ cup low-fat yogurt and maybe a half cup of fresh berries (if I've got any); sometimes it's reheated oatmeal with toasted cocoanut and almonds, cherry-flavoured craisins and almond milk. Still working on creating a healthy breakfast muffin that can be frozen.

    Every once in awhile I'll make this on a weekday, but usually on weekends (when I have more time), I make this (imagine it stacked up, from bottom to top): 0.5 english muffin, 1 tbs chevre, 0.25 avocado, 1 slice of tomato, a little red onion, a poached egg, raw spinach, and 1 tbs salsa. The whole thing is ~250 calories, 25 g of protein. I'll have one or two depending on my plan for the day.

    Weekdays: either a slice of toast with chevre and smoked salmon, or a packet of oatmeal, depending on how much time I have.

    Yes, 1/2 cup egg whites scrambled, and 1 cup tea. Or a protein shake for breakfast. This keeps me going until a 10am snack.

    When I first get up (7:00):
    A homemade Americano (two shots of espresso) with a teaspoon of coconut oil.
    A Chobani (6 oz) with fruit on the bottom.
    A pint of iced ginger tea (which really helps my digestion).

    Before work (around 10:30):
    Either an egg, a bagel with cream cheese (if I know it will be a while before I can eat again), plain oatmeal with coconut milk, or almonds.

    Strawberry yogurt with vanilla and blueberry clusters, almonds, and grapes with a glass of unsweetened organic soy milk. Sometimes 2 boiled eggs. Sometimes whole wheat blueberry pancakes with some whole raspberry syrup. And a Gevalia Cafe Creations K-cup usually every morning. A glass of soy milk really keeps me full. I feel like yogurt and milk are awesome in keeping me full and losing weight.

    Cereal or a smoothie. My cereal is mini shredded wheat n' bran, coconut yogurt, sliced almonds, shredded unsweetened coconut and blueberries and or strawberries. My smoothie is usually 2 fruits (one being a banana), 2 servings of veggies (one being kale or spinach), spirulina, matcha, fish oil, scoop of whey protein. I call it my kitchen sink smoothie as who knows what else I might add to it depending on the day... chia seeds, flax seeds, cocoa powder, PB2, coffee concentrate that I make.
