    I am not huge on breakfast food so I either eat cheerios or 1 minute quick oats.

    Lately I've been having Quaker Multigrain hot cereal and I like it a lot. It has a better texture than just plain oats. Add a mashed up super ripe banana and it's naturally sweetened and still pretty low on calories.

    I'm at 1280 calories/day so I try to stay under 200 for breakfast. When I'm in maintenance mode I'm not sure if I'll really go any higher because I like to have late snacks.

    I usually have a bowl of cereal with milk and V8 Fusion juice. I tend to keep it small.

    Eat whatever you're in the mood for!!! I have food allergies and my doctor told my many years ago to eat anything I want for breakfast and never limit myself to the traditional breakfast foods. I took his advice!!!!

    Generally I eat 1 cup cereal with 1/2 cup skim milk, 2 slices of Sara Lee's 45 Calories & Delightful bread w/ 1 tbsp of peanut butter, and a glass of water. Sometimes I'll have a slice or two of American Cheese instead of the peanut butter, but usually it's the peanut butter as the cheese is ridiculously high in fat & calories.

    This morning was 2 poached egg whites and three slices of center cut low sodium bacon. I have that a lot of mornings because it cooks it self while I'm dressing. I use an egg poacher and flat griddle.

    I tend to have Alpen Original every morning, used to be toast but had to give that up to stop the bloated belly!

    In the winter it is usually Brown Sugar Oatmeal or a bagel, summer is usually Honey Nut Cheerios.

    I normally have one of two meals for breakfast. Either an egg white omelet with peppers, onions and chicken sausage and fruit or Toast with almond butter/Huckleberry sauce, chicken sausage and fruit.

    I'm not a big breakfast person unless it's for dinner. Lol.

    But when I do have it, it's usually a slim fast or today it was one of the new morning star egg, sausage and cheese biscuits. So good.

    I make a home made granola which lasts me almost a month. Each morning I have 1/4 cup of granola mixed with either honey or blueberry Oikos Greek yogurt. The crunch and chew makes it satisfying, the protein makes it filling.

    On the weekend, when I have more time to cook and clean up a mess, I might have a couple scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and veggies (mushrooms, green peppers usually). Sometimes I have toast with that, sometimes not.

    I like the active lifetsyle oatmeal or vanilla almond cereal, or kashi cereal with 1/2 c. 1% milk.
    I also eat the Thomas thin bagels (whole wheat) with 1 tbsp of polaners all fruit spread, or egg beaters and turkey bacon
    and can add red onion, tomato, spinach, mushrooms, etc to the egg beaters.

    Oh how I dislike breakfast so very much!

    I've been trying to force myself to eat these steel cut oats, but each day I forced myself to eat them, the more I started to dislike them. Now just the mere thought of getting up tomorrow morning and having them for breakfast makes me want to hurl.

    When I get up, I cannot consume anything except coffee. I do kind of like something like a biscotti to go with my coffee. I'm not big on sweets, but something like a little piece of gingerbread does me just fine first thing in the A.M. Otherwise, I just wait until around lunch.

    I work 7a-4p at a desk job so I used to eat toast or a bagel early in the morning and found that doesn't work for me..so I eat dry cereal at about 8ish when I am fully awake, and then I eat one packet of oatmeal at my 10:00 break... On weekends though, it's typically eggs and toast :)

    I love to have: 1/2 cup oatmeal cooked in 2/3 cup of milk. Slice in a banana and throw in a palmful of walnuts. Delicious and nutritious!

    Or.....2 pieces of toast with peanut butter (no sugar added), plus a few egg whites on the side.

    Or, a protein shake: 1 cup of skim milk, one scoop of vanilla protein powder, one cup of strawberries, and half a banana......blend and drink. (or use the whole banana to make it thicker).

    Feel free to check my diary, it's public.
