    Whole wheat light english muffins, with egg beaters-scrambled (one egg serving) and turkey light bacon-one piece microwaved, plus a piece of fat free cheese slice. Great sandwich.

    One banana with half a cup of yogurt sprinkled with granola and a little honey.

    Sliced apples with yogurt, my favorite.

    One large grapefruit sliced in half and pre-cut so the spoon will pull out the slices, touch of honey or splenda for a little sweetner, and a glass of chocolate milk.

    Just a few idea's...

    A few things I have...

    Sugar free oatmeal (I add splenda to it though hehe)

    Lite multi grain english muffin w/ an egg beater & FF cheese

    Raisen Bran Crunch w/ skim milk

    French Toast (made with wheat bread, egg beaters & skim milk) I use spray cal free butter and sugar free syrup on it.

    Turkey Bacon, Egg beaters

    Fiber one bar if I'm running really late lol (usually that's my morning snack but sometimes I have no time for breakfast so I devour one of those lol).


    Sometimes I cut up a potato into slices and bake them to make a healthier version of home fries, I spray them with 0 calorie canola cooking spray and Mrs. Dash and bake them.

    I have a protein smoothie made with 1 scoop of Apex vanilla or chocolate, 1 cup water, and 1 cup frozen fruit. I hate breakfast! It is the hardest meal of the day for me. I do not like any meats, eggs, or milk that early. My body just does not want to digest anything that heavy, that early. A few hours after my smoothie I have 1/2 a bagel and some low cal butter spread. That always holds me over till lunch.

    With vanilla and chocolate protein mixes as a base and any frozen fruit - your options are endless. Who doesnt fancy chocolate covered strawberries or cherries? One of my other favs is the vanilla base with 1/2 cup frozen pineapple and 1/2 cup banana. It taste like a pina colada. YUM!

    I try to get more calories at breakfast so I'll frequently have oatmeal with a tbsp of natural peanut butter and 1/2 a banana sliced into it.

    I also love having 1/2 a sprouted grain organic bagel with natural nut butter and 1/4 cup of blueberries or other berries

    I usually have some incarnation of oatmeal (I have a great recipe for baked oatmeal from the Eat Clean Diet cookbook (Tosca Reno).

    I have a bowl of sugar free oatmeal but in order to make it sweet I add sugar free pancake syrup. Gives it some flavor and not many calories. Just a suggestion.

    I do either honey nut cheerios and an apple, the nature valley granola bars, or my favorite is the Thomas English muffins with strawberry jelly...yum! Oh the multi-grain ones. Hmmmm or if I need something fast I do the EAS low carb shakes...but they are not very filling.

    Oatmeal. It's super filling and cheaper than boxed cereal. Buy it in a tin (not the instant packages).

    Use 1/2 cup flakes
    1 cup water
    cook in microwave for 3 mins on med-high temp.

    Makes a lot of oatmeal for 150 calories

    I add sweetner and a little milk and usually eat half and reheat the other half a couple of hours later when I start to get hungry again.
