    Two cups of black coffee, no sugar. Two slices of multi-grain toast w/ marmalade. Two glasses of water then off to the gym. I work better on a light belly in the morning.

    Baked oatmeal. Filling (at least I find it filling) and very versatile with what you can put in it.

    My breakfasts are usually around 180-250 cal and keep me full 'til lunch, so I suppose one could double or triple that for your desired calorie level. I do think for the number of calories they are very filling and seem like quite a nice amount of food...for example, I could have a snack/granola bar of some kind for the same calories and it would feel like less food to me.

    Typical weekday breakfasts (along w/ cup of coffee):
    oatmeal with sliced 1/2 banana & coconut flakes
    egg taco - SMALL flour or corn tortilla with a fried egg, with or without veggies (spinach & onion) and sometimes black beans, topped with salsa or a tiny bit of chipotle dressing
    1-egg omelet with feta & spinach
    1-egg omelet with cheddar & onion
    1-egg omelet with cabbage, green onion & Sriracha
    toast with jam or PB and a boiled egg
    "coffee cup muffin" made with 1/4 c oats, handful of blueberries or other fruit (chopped), 1 egg, tsp brown sugar, vanilla & cinnamon. Sometimes w/ SF syrup and/or nuts.
    sandwich skinny with a cooked egg & vegetarian sausage
    My version of fridge oats - 1/3 c fresh or frozen fruit, 1/8 c quick oats, 1/2 c plain Greek yogurt, sprinkling of ground flaxseed and/or a small amount of nuts...refrigerated overnight, then mix & eat. I don't care for the versions with more oats and more liquid added, however.

    Typical weekend breakfasts are usually more like 300-400 cal...
    French toast (just wheat bread, egg, almond milk, cinnamon & vanilla). Topped with fruit.
    Vegan pumpkin pancakes (I'm not vegan, my husband just likes the recipe so he makes it a lot)
    Crepes with Nutella & sliced banana
    Cranberry pancakes made w/ wheat flour and whole cranberries, SF syrup
    2-egg omelet with any ingredients we have on hand, and maybe a slice of toast
    Grilled sandwich with egg, avocado & maybe veggie bacon

    Most mornings I drink large smoothies made with fruit, leafy greens, milk, ice, and sometimes protein powder. I generally accompany my smoothie with two scrambled eggs. This ends up being around 500 calories.

    On weekends, I like to make breakfast burritos or breakfast tacos. Potatoes O'Brien (diced potato, bell pepper, and onion) and/or the "Fiesta Mix" you can find frozen in most grocery stores (corn, peppers, onions, black beans) are handy for throwing in with eggs, bacon or ham, and cheese. If you can find a good hearty sprouted grain tortilla, I recommend that as well.

    I like a big breakfast, then I sort of graze on 200 calorie nibbles the rest of the day... so my day is usually front-loaded with calories.

    I prepare muffin tin eggs on Sundays for the week to come. Whisk eggs along with whatever cheese/meat/veggies/spices you'd like. Pour in muffin pans and bake. Super easy, way good, and portable for an on the go breakfast or lunch if needed. Depending on your cheese/meat each 'muffin' could average 200-250 calories. Add toast or oats and you're good to go!

    lately I've been having two pieces of Wasa Sesame crispbread with two wedges of Laughing Cow light swiss cheese, and lots of fresh fruit. I'm not a big egg person, but I'm thinking of adding a hard boiled egg to it too, for some added protein. I've been having a coffee with it as well, but only until I break my energy drink/soda habit, then I'll switch to tea, then to smoothies/water.

    I'm a big fan of eggs, pancakes, and bacon!
    Two big pancakes, two slices of bacon, and two scrambled eggs can fill you up easily for under 500 calories.

    I eat whatever I cooked yesterday or the day before. This morning was four ounces of chicken warmed up in the microwave and some frozen blueberries that I had moved to the fridge the night before so that they would be defrosted: 270 calories.
    You can add some pasta or rice from the fridge for another 250 calories. Or some bread with mayo for the chicken.

    Oatmeal (1/2 cup), 1/2 cup of milk (skim or 1%), 2 TBS peanut butter, and one small banana mixed in. Super filling and pretty much spot on 500 calories (depending on banana and milk type).
