    2 weetabix with semi-skimmed milk and a bit of sugar on the top. Only 198 cals and it keeps me going till lunchtime.

    also, although i'm up about 6.45am i only have water and a cup of tea before i leave the house - i eat my weetabix in work at about 8.15am.

    My two absolute favourites - Mango Smoothy - a mango (i love perth, i'm getting them for a dollar each at the moment!!!), cinnamon, some vanilla yoghurt and a bit of milk. Then I pour it into a bowl and top it with some cereal and wheatgerm.

    Or - Homemade Bircher muesli - Rolled oats soaked overnight in water, then in the morning mix in vanilla yoghurt, grated apple and cinnamon. Topped with LSA and wheatgerm...

    My favourite meal of the day!!!

    I have either of two breakfasts. My favorite is a bowl of soup. Yes, soup. I have always been a soup junkie and I have one that I make that is a shredded chicken soup in a tomato base, loaded very heavily with 8 or 10 different vegetables and some lentils. A little on the spicy side. I make a batch once a week and portion 8-10 portions into tupperware. I have one every day, either breakfast or lunch. It's multiple servings of multicolored vegetables, loaded with fiber and comes in at about 165 calories, depending on how I make that batch.

    If not that, then a bowl of 3/4 cup fiberplus cinnamon oat crunch and 1/2 cup skim milk with a banana sliced into it. I typically have breakfast and hit the road for my morning walk. Then after the walk, have some fruit. A banana, apple or orange, depending on my mood.

    I leave for work full and loaded with nutrients and energized from a brisk walk, but typically in the net negative on calories. Breakfast is under 300 calories and my walk burns right about in that neighborhood. I pack a snack of either a fruit or a few pretzels for midmorning.

    Just a bowl of low fat cereal, usually a Dorset Cereals one.

    I only usually have breakfast on days I exercise, and then only after exercise, as I can't eat before.
