    Porridge oats. I buy the smartprice ones and make them with mostly water, bit milk and add bananas in.

    2 egg whites,1/8 cup bell pepper, 1/8 cup onion, 1/4 cup spinach, 1/8 cup mushroom, 1 oz soft goat cheese. Microwave for 60 seconds. Stir. Microwave again for 30 seconds. continue in 15 seconds bursts until firmness of eggs you wish is achieved. 120 calories. I make 6 servings of this as I make my Sunday breakfast using the little microwave egg cooker. I put them in the fridge and grab 1 each morning to take to work with me. Keeps me out of the cafeteria, eating right and saving money.

    Every other day I have a smoothie:

    1 cup skim milk
    1 cup frozen strawberries
    1 banana
    2 tablespoons PB2 powdered peanutbutter

    It's under 300 calories and is so yummy!

    The other days I have two scrambled eggs and a slice of toast with jelly. Also under 400 calories.

    I have restrictions due to silent reflux, so I just changed my breakfast to

    2 scrambled eggs
    1 protein shake with a banana and 2/4 cups of milk and 22g of bluebonnet dual action protein powder 22g. Almost as good as my beloved oatmeal and nuts and fruit.

    Steel Cut Oats. 150 calories with water. Takes me two minutes in a microwave with non-microwave steel cut oats. I've grown strangely fond of them without having to add any flavorings.

    Yogurt + granola

    Shred potato into pan with a bit of oil, add meat and veggies as desired, saute. When potatoes are done, add a couple beaten eggs, add seasonings as desired. Pig out on this stuff with some hot sauce.

    Cut up a bunch of fruits into a big fruit salad

    Apple and peanut butter

    Trail mix

    Smoothies

    And of course, oats!

    A cup of lowfat almond/coconut milk, a half frozen banana, a handful of frozen mango, a handful of fresh spinach, a spear of pineapple, a dash of coconut extract. You don't taste the spinach - it tastes like a pina colada. YUM!
