    I eat whole wheat toast with natural peanut butter, it's filling and goes really well with coffee.

    Recently I've been having one Multi-grain waffle with 1 tbsp of Natural Peanut Butter, a banana on the side and a cup of green tea. :)

    There's nothing unhealthy about pancakes.

    Eat pancakes for breakfast if you want. As long as you get all your proteins/fats by the end of the day, there's no reason not to.

    I've never tried overnight oats, but I hear good things about it from friends, and it might satisfy your sweet tooth.

    There are some recipes here: http://www.buzzfeed.com/arielknutson/overnight-oat-recipes-oatmeal-cold

    Unhealthy how? You could use skim milk and egg whites to lower fat and calories.

    I've made these a couple of times. They're good with sugar free syrup, but you could put anything on them. Sounds gross, but I liked them. 35 cho/4 fat/32 pro

    I've been eating lots of oatmeal. I put some frozen fruit into it before nuking it in the microwave, then I sweeten it with stevia and mix in some ground flax seed or wheat bran. A side of turkey sausage adds protein.

    Pancakes are not off the menu for me. I use whole grain pancake mix and egg beaters.

    Monday through Friday. I eat a bowl of oatmeal, either steel cut or quick cooking oats. Cinnamon, brown sugar. One apple, and some boiled eggs. I literally never get tired of oatmeal, I could eat it all day if I wanted to. Then I load up on coffee, I have a unhealthy obsession with coffee.
    On the weekends I usually always have pancakes or breakfast burritos for breakfast from a restaurant.

    Pancakes are not in any way unhealthy. Make them fit into your day. It really is not that hard to do.

    Heck, I even have mine with REAL butter and syrup. I find that by using the real thing that I can get away with using less. It's about quality, not quantity.

    I'm tempted to try an egg beaters omelet. Has anyone had that before? Any good?

    I make protein pancakes... about 400 calories for 7 of them (300 for 4 if I make the ricotta ones, less protein but still delicious). That fits nicely in my diary.

    I like protein for breakfast but if you like sweet I make a smoothie with a banana, coconut water (1/2 cup) chocolate protein powder and a tblsp of all natural peanut butter. Filling and delicious. Pancakes are delicious, its the butter and syrup that keep me away from them.
