    Great suggestion! This is why I love MFP! There's always someone who's been there and can offer good advice.

    I split up my breakfast throughout the morning and the order I eat them changes... I always have a serving of fruit (banana, or pineapple, or strawberries).... a bagel thin..... 1 egg along with 1 egg white mixed with vegetables (cooked spinach, broccoli, mushrooms zucchini, onion) and cooked in a fry pan with pan, and a yogurt. I know it's a big breakfast but I find that I desire and eat less throughout the day.

    This morning I made some oatmeal, added a splash of maple extract and a few dashes of cinnamon. It was a little thick, so I poured in a bit of my pumpkin spice latte to thin it out. TOTAL yumminess!

    Open Face Breakfast Sandwich - I'm addicted to this sandwich

    Always a good idea to spray the pan first with fat free cooking spray.

    Nature's Own - Nature's Own Double Fiber Wheat Bread With Omega-3, toasted of course
    50 Cal, 13 Carb, 1 Fat, 3 Pro, 5 Fiber, 135 Sod.

    3 "Half" Slices of Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon (the best turkey bacon)
    53 Cal, 0 Carb, 5 Fat, 3 Pro, 0 Fiber, 270 Sod.

    Two Egg Whites (large), cooked (fried) in a skillet with what's left over from the bacon.
    32 Cal, 0 Carb, 0 Fat, 7 Pro, 0 Fiber, 110 Sod.

    Fold egg whites to fit on the toast. Place the three half strips of bacon over the egg. Enjoy!

    Total:
    135 Cal, 13 Carb, 6 Fat, 13 Pro, 5 Fiber, 515 Sod.

    Try non breakfast food, foods. Maybe a peanut butter sandwich you could take with you and eat on the way. What do you eat when you do finally eat? Make that your breakfast and eat earlier.

    Try frozen waffles with some peanut butter. Or some fruit.

    I do make myself and egg sandwich in the microwave.

    Breakfast is my favorite meal on the weekends, but I just can't make time for it during the week. The past couple of weekends I have made eatingwell.com's waffles. The recipe makes 6 large waffles (1 per serving) which is too many for me and my husband so I have been breaking them into fourths and freezing them. I pop two pieces in the toaster in the morning and eat them w/o syrup or butter (trust me, they don't need any) while I'm getting ready or driving to work. Then I'll eat fruit once I get to my office.

    Here's the link to the recipe: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/eatingwell_waffles.html. Also, as I was doing a search I saw they have chocolate waffles. I'm so making those next weekend!

    When I'm really hungry in the morning, I eat 2 pieces of fruit first. That way, I don't overeat whatever else I am having.

    I keep Quaker 1-minute oatmeal at the office for when I go to workout before work. I use a little coffee creamer instead of milk because that's what is available. Some of the flavored creamers taste really good in oatmeal: pumpkin spice and, surprisingly, french vanilla are good and don't add too many calories. Oatmeal can get boring, so I'm always looking for ways to keep it interesting: fresh fruit, yogurt, maple flavoring, cinnamon, honey, brown sugar, raisins, etc...

    Whole wheat (deli or homemade style) toast with peanut butter and sliced banana is also good. Simple breakfast tacos with corn tortillas, scrambled egg, and just enough jimmy dean sausage to add flavor are good, too. Pickled jalapeno slices top them off well.

    I always drink several glasses of water with breakfast to make it easier to make it to lunch without having the munchies.

    This morning I had peanut butter and honey oatmeal. I used quick 1 minute oats, and added a tbsp of Natural Balance Crunchy Peanut Butter w/Flaxseed, and 1 tbsp of honey (and a couple of packets of artificial sweetener). It was SO yummy and kept me full til lunch.

    I'm not much of a breakfast girl myself. Smoothies have worked well. And I don't try to eat breakfast foods if I don't feel like it. Eat what sounds good. When my stomach is really nasty, I start with a Pepsi - the sryup calms my stomach...and I only allow myself one Pepsi a day.

    Oatmeal with all natural peanut butter - so yummy and a little sweet (w/o sugar!)
    or oatmeal with a turkey sausage patty crumbled in it - also yummy, but for when I want salty

    and of course, 3 cups of coffee w/skim :tongue:

    Tosca Reno (Eat Clean books) suggests a big breakfast if you can. Portion out oatmeal in baggies and eat when you get to work. If you are really nauseous maybe mix some Chia seeds with water (2 tbs) to about 12 ounces and drink. Chia seeds are a natural filler and should get you to work without feeling ill. Good luck!

    I used to have the same problem. I had to "train" myself to eat in the morning by starting really slowly. I find toast to be very easy to eat. You can use whole wheat/ double fiber bread and some low fat spread or jam of your choice. Start by eating 1 or 2 bites, then increase the amount in a few days and so on.

    same here, I started with a glass of milk or cup of tea, and gradually added solid food.

    I have been stuck on eating English Muffins. I toast them and add a little butter and sometimes I'll splurge and put a little peanut butter on them.

    I love Choclate Chip Muffin Tops by Vita. They are full of fiber, which decreases my hunger and I feel like I am getting something sweet and choclate at the same time. The banana nut ones are great too. They are only 100 calories, so I eat a banana or unsweetened grapefuit sections after I get to work.
