    Rice cakes with whipped cream cheese, and a fruit (apple or orange). Sometimes I will top them with peanut butter instead...or I'll have some flax plus pumpkin raisin crunch with 1% milk (Lactose free) it's DELICIOUS cereal but it has more calories than the rice cakes or oatmeal.

    I'm always making quick breakfasts. My go to's are low/non fat greek yogurt with 2 tbsp granola or half of a whole wheat bagel thin with 1 tbsp peanut butter and about an hour or two later I eat an apple or some grapes. If I'm really in a hurry I take a quaker chewy granola bar and some fruit for the road.

    I need protein to get going in the morning. So I like to have a 3-4 oz. piece of meat and a piece of fruit. Lately I have had either a cold slice of extra lean turkey breast or a re-heated piece of turkey sausage with either a banana, kiwi, or apple with a cup of instant black coffee. This makes for about a 250 Calorie breakfast that holds me from 6am to 10am.

    some wholemeal toast with some mashed up banana, fills you up but still tastes like a nice sweet treat.

    I just made a change to my breakfast. I've been eating a variety of 'flake' cereals with soy milk - pretty healthy choices, but too high in calories for breakfast.

    I hate oatmeal, but I can't deny how healthy it is, so I tried it 'raw'. I put a half a cup of quick oats, teaspoon of brown sugar, ground flax and a bit of fruit (blueberries at the moment), and let it all sit in milk or soy milk until it softens (5 mins ish). The texture is more like regular cereal, and the oats themselves are pretty much innocuous. Super healthy, and pretty easy to regulate the total calorie intake.

    Added bonus - there's no time limit to your cereal. I used to hate when my flakes got soggy while attending to my son or whatever, but the oats can sit there and wait.

    Light and fit yogurt (vanilla :wink:) with some Kashi Go Lean Berry Crunch stirred in.

    Love it, and know I'll eat more of it when the weather gets warmer.

    I'm kind of an oatmeal girl in the winter, but have recently made some whole wheat oatmeal bread which I am eating as toast instead.

    -Bagel thins w/ honey nut cream cheese or low or fat free Cream Cheese
    -Nutrigrain waffles with honey
    -Smoothie/Shake (put all the goodness in there - I like strawberry protein powder, almond milk, and a banana) - for you on the go
    -Raisin bread (toasted) with peanut butter
    -Kashi Heart to Heart (my kids love it!)

    My son loves oatmeal every morning - if I'm not in the mood I'll just make it for the kids and have cereal or a shake.

    I hate breakfast, but that's because I hate breakfast foods. I usually do fruit, but sometimes to switch it up, especially if I don't have big dinner plans, is to eat dinner for breakfast
