    Do you have a calorie range in mind?

    I eat sauteed spinach and garlic, egg over easy and and 1/2 a bagel on a regular basis. Another favorite is an omelet w/ 1 oz feta cheese, spinach, mushroom and red onion. Very flavorful and filling!

    I recently started eating quinoa for breakfast. I can't eat eggs, milk or cheese so a lot of options are out for me. I make with half water and half almond milk. Put a little cinnamon and brown sugar in it and add fruit. It is great!

    I eat breakfast depending on what I am eating for dinner. I also split my breakfast up into two parts on mornings that I work. It helps because I get very hungry right after breakfast so I don't try to eat lunch early.

    Sometimes I do:

    A powerhouse smoothie (Pears, pinapple and kale) @9:30am
    A low calorie yogurt @10:30/11am
    --
    1 or 2 egg whites and a piece of turkey bacon @9:30am
    A low calorie yogurt or protein bar @10:30/11am
    --
    An apple/banana or some type of fruit @9:30am
    Oatmeal with salt and pepper or honey@10:30/11am
    --
    On Fridays and Sundays when I'm off I will make scrambled egg whites and put them on wheat toast with turkey bacon. Or take wheat bread and soak it in egg whites. Bake (Or griddle) them. Put sugar free apple pie filling on top. Super yummy. Low calorie. And my Love LOVES it. :)

    Today I had a banana pancake:

    Mash a medium banana in a bowl with a fork, crack two eggs into the bowl and whisk together with the fork.
    Heat a small pan on medium low and spray w/ nonstick spray.
    Pour batter into pan and let cook until edges are firm, flip with spatula and cook on other side until firm.
    Top with whatever you want, today I had cherry preserves on it... yum!

    I do 1 whole egg, 2 egg whites, 0.5 oz shredded cheese. Beat eggs together and cook like your doing an omelette. When you flip add cheese and fold. Top with a little salsa. Low in calories and full of flavor. Approx 160 cal.

    I pick from either oatmeal, almond milk & slivered almonds with cinnamon or 1 egg cooked in coconut oil with 1 slice of swiss cheese & a slice of wheat toast. Both are filling and so darn good!

    I am not great at eating "breakfast" I eat brunch. I am never hungry in the morning I get up late as I work evenings. What I do is make something ahead of time...a crockpot omelette with eggs and meat and veggies...cheese if you eat it. Egg "muffins" that I batch cook on the weekend. Egg "sandwiches" that I make the fixings for on the weekend. I portion all out for the work week so its grab and go.

    Spoon ground Turkey in pan that has been heated with coconut oil. Sprinkle on seasoning... I use cinnamon, mrs. Dash onion and herb, & black pepper. Takes about 15 min, flip half way between. Voila! homemade turkey sausage! :-)

    I like a 2 egg omelet with sauted broccoli and fresh spinach. I go light on the cheese. You can do egg whites as well but I like the whole egg. This fills me up.

    I like good old fashioned porridge oats with a sprinkling of nuts and seeds, some dried fruit and a drizzle of honey from my bees....it comes in at a fairly high 400 cals but keeps me filled up until late afternoon.
    I also like eggs served as an omelette with chopped veggies and chillies

    I really like eggs and some veggie bacon on a rice cake but that can be tough on busy mornings. If I'm feeling lazy it's 90sec porridge with half almond milk half water. Other then that I make chia seed fruit puddings (chia seeds, almond milk, fruit of choice) and smoothies (same as chia recipe).
