    I usually go for one of two options...

    Pretzel crisps (or crackers), deli ham (or chicken), and a good hard cheddar cheese. Quantities vary. Usually around 300-400 calories, about 10 kcal per 1g protein.

    A bag of frozen stir-fry veggies browned in a skillet with a teaspoon or so of butter, two eggs, optionally some ham, and half a deli slice of muenster. Same calorie range, slightly less protein, more fat and fiber.

    With summer produce now available, it's not uncommon for me to chase these breakfasts with a handful of berries, cherries, or grapes as I'm heading out the door. Increases the likelihood of meeting fiber and vitamin micros for the day.

    I make a galette most mornings with 2 tbsp of oatbran, 2 tbsp of full fat yoghurt and an egg. I mix it together and leave it to soak while I'm getting ready then I cook it as you would a pancake. I have it with ham and cheese and it fills me up for ages. Very yummy and only about 280 cals

    I make protein pancakes for breakfast. Now and again I put chocolate chips in them.
    Pancakes for breakfast feels like the most decadent thing ever.

    1 slice of home-made spinach mushroom quiche (214 cals) & 1 cup of Kashi Go Lean crunch (190 cals)
    Plus a cup of coffee with sugar free creamer

    I make the quiche on Sunday's and warm it up in the oven in the morning while I'm in the shower.

    I alternate between

    1 poached egg + 1 serving 5-minute grits + 2 tbs parmesan = 240 calories

    and

    100 gr of homemade hummus on flatbread = 282 calories

    Plus coffee (2% milk, unsweetened) of course!

    Most mornings, it is a smoothie made from choc flavored Lean1, cup of kale and 1/4 C of blue berries. Blend with 1/2 C of ff milk and 8 ice cubes. Other days oatmeal with a dash of cinnamon, honey, a 1/4 C fresh fruit and a little ff milk or 1 egg omelet with 1 TBS cheddar cheese and a 1/2 C fresh mixed fruit.

    My favorite are the protein pancakes from Pinterest....greek yogurt, egg, honey, flour and baking soda. Usually make with bananas but this past weekend only had mixed frozen berries. They were delicious in them. I look forward to these every weekend.

    apparently I can't read....you said "weekday" not weekend. Oh well, usually a Fiber One Lemon bar and FF Mootopia, no sugar mocha cappucino powder and ice, I mix in my magic bullet and bring to work to replace those high-calorie Mocha Frappe's from McD's.

    Coffee and an apple. Maybe a yogurt if I'm more hungry than usual.

    Mine varies; when I'm trying to lose weight (as I am again presently) it is usually a mixture of Greek yogurt (low or no fat because it's lower in calories and I like to save them for dinnertime), protein powder, berries, vanilla, and sometimes granola or hemp/chia seeds. When I'm in more of a hurry or don't have yogurt, or am maintaining, it's usually some kind of breakfast cereal with whole milk. That's definitely not as good a breakfast as the yogurt stuff, but it's faster and sometimes it's easier not to think about composing the yogurt stuff.

    I always have a large portion of whichever fruits I currently have available chopped up with a pot of yoghurt on top. I don't worry about the type of yoghurt or fruit, I just buy what takes my fancy and that stops me getting bored. I never used to eat breakfast, particularly on an average work day but I have kept this up now for 7 weeks. I might switch the yoghurt for porridge as the weather gets colder.

    Mine varies, but I love thin whole wheat bagels from HEB (110cals) with whipped cream cheese (50cals per serving - I use 2 servings :blushing: ) or whole wheat waffles (100cals) with Aunt Jemima Light syrup (100cals per serving...but I use a lot less). Sometimes if I'm ultra hungry when I wake up, I'll eat both the bagel and the waffles.

    Or, I'll blend a frozen banana (or two) with a little milk, and have what I call "banana ice cream smoothie". It's like having dessert for breakfast. :laugh:
