      I ate breadless turkey club sandwiches for breakfast today. That's different!

      Ummm today I had a 4 berry protein smoothie and 4 scrambled egg whites with garlic, black pepper, red pepper flakes, sauted mushrooms and salsa.

      And I'm taking to work a banana wrap. It's a white tortilla spread with peanut butter and Nutella and I wrapped it around a whole banana.

      My go-to is a berry smoothie with banana, ground flaxseed, spinach, plain greek yogurt, half a scoop of protein powder and some water. I drink it on my way to work and it keeps me full for a couple of hours...yum!

      You can eat anything for breakfast, and what you choose depends in your time and preparedness. I usually make a 6 serving fritata on the weekend, and have that a few days. This week was mushroom, onion, potato, chicken. And then some days I male sweet potato hash browns in the waffle iron, or egg salad, or hot dogs, or whatever. I try not to have fruit with breakfast, but sometimes I will have cherry tomatoes with my eggs. Its delish.

      Edit for spelling.

      I usually have a coffee, an egg sandwich on whole wheat bread or a protein smoothie.

      Sausage and egg sandwich. Good quality sausages, large fried egg, bread and plenty of ketchup. Job done!

      Breakfast for dinner...why not dinner for breakfast?

      I'd love a couple tacos when I wake up

      I usually have either a hard boiled egg (I make a few up every few days) and either a light english muffin or bagel thin. Or I have some egg whites w/ low fat cheese and turkey sausage mixed in and I microwave it at work. Or you can microwave an egg and have it on the bagel or english muffin.

      quinoa is a great breakfast option as its healthy and full of protein...will keep you full longer.

      I do rolled oats, with some fruit, small amount of butter (1/2tsp), nut butter, cinnamon, flax seed and honey. layer it and nuke it...soo good! so fast and convenient...make it at work all the time.

      also I do protein shakes as well... I normally use hemp protein but I just bought pumpkin seed protein...looking forward to try that out.

      RodaRose,
      That's funny. Very tempting to eat leftovers :D

      Thank you all for your input. Some very interesting ideas. I will most definitely try them.

      I make breakfast burritos and freeze them, pull them out the night before the thaw and then cook in oven or microwave.

      Cook up a serving of rolled oats. While there's still some water left in the pot add an egg white and stir it in until it sets. Then add 1/2 cup of pumpkin pure. Then add 1/2 scoop of protein powder of your choice. Stir it all together then remove from heat and pour it into a bowl. Top with blueberries, sliced banana, and a few teaspoons of peanut butter. This is the bomb breakfast!

      I make a smoothie for breakfast- it consists of plain fat-free greek yogurt, frozen berries, half a frozen banana, and some kale (for added nutrition, trust me you don't even taste it). It is high in vitamins, calcium, protein, and the kale also contains iron. Also, it's delicious!

      green eggs and ham! (Serious, I have eaten this before.)

      I had pumpkin pancakes with Greek yogurt for breakfast today. Yesterday I had half of a pumpkin spice bagel with Greek yogurt on the side. The day before that it was a veggie and cheese omelet. And the day before that was a peach protein shake.

      I like to have an English Muffin 120 cal with light butter 30 cal. And a small side of fruit (grapes, cantaloupe, a banana, etc.) I like to keep breakfast around 200 calories.

      I also like the southwestern egg beaters with a small sprinkle of cheese. I can eat these alone/with salsa or make a breakfast sandwich. 1/4 cup is roughly 25 calories (off the top of my head) And very yummy!

      Today I had two eggs whisked with dill, sea salt, and white pepper, then soft-scrambled in yogurt butter; I had an orange on the side. Yesterday I had paper-thin slices of hard salami wrapped around slices off a wedge of Laughing Cow Swiss and scallions, plus more coffee. Monday (I think) I had apple slices, a slice of lightly dry-fried ham, and an egg over-easy.

      I like eggs so when I'm having breakfast (which isn't every day) I eat them sometimes, but most of my breakfasts contain stuff that isn't traditionally breakfast-y. It keeps things interesting, uses up leftovers, and helps me start out with protein instead of sticking to higher-carb stuff like cereal and toast. Try some good deli meats, a cheese you like, some fruit, or just... something you like but usually eat at lunch or dinner.

      My breakfast are: two boiled eggs, about 150-200 g boiled sweet potatoes, 1/4 avocado or some nuts and at the end throw some mix salad on.

      WW or Lite Multi-grain English muffin, 1 turkey-sausage link and an egg. <200 calories and keeps you full for awhile. :D

      I've been making low fat french toast style crumpets - whisk one egg with a dash of milk and some apple pie spice blend, soak two crumpets in the mixture. Cook in a sandwich press until toasted. Spread with a little peanut butter or jam if you feel like something sweet. Yummers!

      Eggs! :). Or anything I would have for dinner or lunch.

      Search 'breakfast', I'm sure you'll get more ideas from the dozens of threads about this.

      My usuals are Omelette with spinach and mushrooms, just whites for really low cal. Scrambled egg and a home made burger, porridge oats or greek yoghurt with blueberries, mixed seeds and honey.

      My go to breakfast is a poached egg on toast and coffee

      I like fried egg with avocado and sirrachia on top of low carb toast. If you have less time, I keep a package of Mama Lupes low-carb tortillias and a jar of healthy peanut butter at my work. Then I bring in a banana - smear PB onto tortillia and place banana in, roll up and slice into pieces. Kinda like PB/banana sushi. :)

      Do you have time to cook and eat before leaving home in the morning or do you need to grab something and nuke/toast it when you get to the office?

      If it is the former, grits are filling. Add a bit of flavorful cheese (stronger flavors = less cheese needed). Or you can make the oatmeal below that morning.

      If it is the latter, make a batch of steel cut oats the night before. Then add one of each of the following:
      Fruit - blueberries, apples, bananas, peaches, etc.
      - Nuts - pecans, almonds, walnuts
      - Sweetener - brown sugar, agave, honey

      Change up the combinations for a variety.

      Leftovers can be delicious. I have eaten Brunswick stew for breakfast after I'd run 6 miles. It seemed more delicious than the first day.
