I'm looking for suggestions for a SIMPLE breakfast. Something easy to get my metabolism going as I tend to skip out on breakfast and drink coffee all morning.

    I eat pure protein bars because I am not a breakfast eater. It's 200 calories and keeps you full till lunch. They are pretty tasty and have about 5 flavors. They also give you a good amount of protein. You should try them.

    Oatmeal, or this organic Multi-Grain hot cereal from Trader Joe's... that, greek yogurt, and fruit. For something that takes a bit longer I will make some sauteed or steamed veggies with scrambled eggs/egg whites.

    I love think thin protein bars, they don't have sugar but are yummy, especially the cookies and cream

    also oatmeal, sometimes its a packet I make at home and sometimes I get it from Jamba Juice with banana and brown sugar

    or 2 hard boiled eggs are nice

    OATMEAL! Sorry for the caps I am just very enthusiastic about oatmeal, as I hated it growing up. I have since developed quite the taste for it. Quaker True Delights Wild Blueberry Muffin is my fav! Also, yogurt, protein bars (watch out for the sugar), fruit, and hard boiled eggs!

    I don't like eating breakfast but realize how important it is so I eat about 1/2 a cup of yogurt with some crushed walnuts and mix them in. It is healthy for you and tastes good. On other days I may boil up a bunch of eggs and have one for breakfast. there a so many good choices to play with out there, you just have to find what works for you and make it part of your daily eating routine.

    I like Jimmy Deans Turkey Sausage Biscuts and Jimmy Deans Turkey Sausage, Egg and Cheese Cressants , when I have them I feel like I have had something from a Fast Food Restaurant (which is my weakness) . Fast Food Restaurants breakfast are way to high in calories and the Jimmy Deans stuff is half the calories and taste just as good.

    I eat oatmeal almost every day (not the instant kind, but actual rolled oats) and a low fat cheese stick for protein. Fills me up and keeps me going.

    Oatmeal - 1/2 cup that I make with almost double the recommended water - I cook it a long time so it doubles in volume so I have a nice BIG bowl. I add 1 tbsp of naturally more peanut butter and either a half of banana or half of an apple. SOOOOOOOO good

    i cook eggs almost every morning or oatmeal. u might try fruit, toast or a muffin if your not a breakfast person. then again breakfast can be any food, not necessary typical breakfast foods.

    I keep either honey nut cheerios or chocolate cheerios at my desk, as well as a bunch of bananas (not the same bananas... that would be weird.) I also have a good supply of oatmeal that I keep at my desk. I switch back and forth between the two.

    If I am at home, it is either cheerios or bagel thins. rarely eggs and bacon but sometimes I guess.

    I eat either weight control oatmeal, or Special K Protein cereal. I did the Special K diet once, and lost about 30 pounds. Special K for breakfast and lunch, and then a sensible dinner. Good luck with whatever you do.

    If I don't get a healthy shot of protein in the morning, I wanna eat all day. I typically poach 2 eggs and combine them with some sort of cheese and low sodium V8. Lately it's been a slice of Swiss with a can of no salt mushrooms, a sprinkle of McCormick Perfect Pinch Mediterranean Herb, and the hot and spicy low sodium V8. (It may sound odd seasoning no salt mushrooms with something with salt in it, but adding back 65mg of sodium is not nearly the evil that buying a 700-800mg of sodium can of mushrooms would be.) I just can't do something like oatmeal. Makes me way too hungry.
