    They are all good breakfasts!

    Depends if you mean calorie wise??

    I do love porridge, but your having it plain - I have mine with just hot water, then I add crunchy peanut butter into it - Try it!!!

    Mmmm!

    Depends on what your entire day consists of. .. whether or not those things are a good choice or not. Overall diet determines health, not individual foods.

    Calorie wise, I think they are all the same.... good for your body, each breakfast has it's benefits (protein/carbs/fats, vitamins/minerals) but again, you would need to look how your whole diet looks. What are your protein and fat levels. What exercise do you do?

    What you could do is just cycle those breakfasted based on your mood and planned food for the day.

    They are all fine if they fit your goals. The smoothie seems low on protein/fat which can both keep you feeling full longer. Also the porridge I'd probably drop to 40g and add a nut butter.

    How tall/heavy are you? What are your goals? What else do you eat in a day? Do you have any medical concerns that could be affected by your diet?

    They all sound delicious, choose the one you like best, or rotate them!

    All you are taking is good breakfast and also healthy. You have no need to change your breakfast, if you want some new suggestion then you can take oats, fruit juice, vegetable soup and a glass of milk etc. Which is very beneficial for your health.

    I wouldn't like to drink my calories. Chewing and texture of food are fun !

    I just ate a roast beef bagel loaded up with peppers, onions, and mushrooms. It was delicious. Left over from dinner and logged into my day.

    I like that #1 includes protein and not just carbs.

    I alternate my breakfasts, but milk/eggs is a source of protein, and would definitely be in. I aim to get 70-100g of protein a day.

    Whatever fits in your calories. I can tell you that the smoothie would leave me starving after one hour because of lack of whole grains, protein and fat though. But we're all different.

    Personally I'd go with the porridge but would drop down to 40g dry and add some nut butter as well... most filling breakfast I know.

    It depends on your overall calories for the day.

    However if you are looking to stay satisfied up until lunch, I would suggest a protein rich breakfast.

    It helps for me anyway. If I don't eat some sort of fat or protein with breakfast I'm hungry again 2 hours later.

    What are you trying to accomplish? All three of these could vary greatly calorie-wise depending on specific ingredients. If you are looking to get lower calorie alternatives then swap out poached eggs for egg whites and go with light multigrain or light whole wheat... Then swap out the butter for a lighter alternative...

    Calories are the key here... Depends on how low you wanna go...

    I would have the eggs and toast because I love eggs. They are all healthy breakfasts. The smoothie is the lowest on protein probably.

    #1 seems a better carb to protein ratio, but they can all work depending on how the rest of your day goes.

    The first choice would be better IMO.

    i would have the poached eggs! it would maybe be higher cal, but as long as it didn't make you go over your daily intake later, i'd go for it.

    They all look god to me! You have to go what works for you.

    Personally smoothies were never enough for me! I always felt hunger about a half hour after eating one no matter what I put in it.
