Help with breakfast, fyi I'm in vegetarian

Loads of good suggestions so far.

One that I really like is to sautee some onions in olive oil and then add in some swiss chard (I like to chiffonade it, I like the thin ribbons). Then, I fry an egg and plop it on top... you could use tofu instead, or seitan, or any meat substitute you like, I suppose.

I also make pumpkin smoothies with canned pumpkin, almond milk, rolled oats, and pumpkin pie seasoning. Add some maple syrup if you can afford the sugar calories.

I've been eating oat bran as a hot cereal lately, too. It cooks quickly and has a low glycemic index. I add almond milk and walnuts and a sprinkle of flax meal.

Now that I think about it, any sauteed veggies with an egg on top would make me very happy in the morning! HMMMMM

-granola bar (I like kashi chocolate almond with sea salt or KIND bars) & hand fruit (plum, banana, orange, apple)
-Pre-made veggie fritatas. I make them in muffin pans with egg, feta, bell peppers, and onions baked. Lots of recipes on pinterest.
-Pumpernickel bread toasted with cottage cheese on top and craisins (or cottage cheese with any fixings like seeds, nuts, honey, fruit)
-Morningstar brand vegetarian bacon and sausage patties
-cereal and soy milk

I use this recipe (stolen from http://www.familyfreshcooking.com/2012/01/16/blueberry-coconut-baked-steel-cut-oatmeal-recipe/, then modified) to make a moist baked Blueberry Oatmeal Casserole type dish. Go to the original website to get directions. I had to modify because I need a smaller portion and because of nut sensitivities.
0.75 c (40g), Steel Cut Oats (Canada)
0.25 tsp(s), Spices - Ginger, ground
0.25 tsp(s), Fine Sea Salt
3.00 cup (240mL), Dairy Free Coconut Milk Unsweetened
0.12 cup, Dried Blueberries
1.00 Packet, Truvia
2.00 tbsp (12g), Unsweetened Medium Flaked Coconut
1.75 cup(s), Blueberries - Raw
4 servings=229 calories
You can also freeze the leftovers and defrost for other mornings. I cut into 4's, put 3 into short/flat Mason jars and freeze. I set them out the night before and then nuke a bit for a hot, fresh yummy blueberry-coconut goody!

I also do smoothies about 5 days per week. I start with 1-2 cups of cold decaf iced tea and then add in: lemon, grapefruit seed oil (look it up--it's amazing!), a small amount of Sunwarrior Vanilla protein powder, chlorella or wheatgrass powder, a probiotic capsule (open contents/toss capsule), a handful of greens (spinach/baby kale), no more than 1 cup of fruit (pumpkin, 1/2 banana, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, blackberries, etc.), seeds (pumpkin, flax, hemp, sunflower) and sometimes spices such as cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, etc.

Superfood add ins: camu camu berry powder, cacao powder, or maca, goji berries, marine phytoplankton, etc.

I can't handle milk, so I don't add yogurt or dairy. I have nut sensitivities, so I don't add those either or use almond milk anymore. I stick to seeds only, but I do sometimes substitute all or some liquid for unsweetened original coconut milk or H20 coconut water with pulp. With practice you learn what tastes good together. My goal is to keep the sugar low and the calories under 250. I drink it over ice. LOTS of nutrition in there (usually about 4 servings fruit/veg), so even if the rest of my day goes South, I at least started out right.

Everyday for the last 9 1/2 months I eat the same thing 2 or 3 eggs with toast,and strawberry preserve or oatmeal with chia seeds, cinnamon and syrup or honey, so tired of the same thing.I'm down 65 lbs and 90 lbs to go.please help, I can use all the support I can get!

My breakfast EVERY DAY is chilled swiss oatmeal. They sell it at corner bakery for $4.50, and its 350 calories. Although I make my own most of the time now. Its just oatmeal, low-fat yogart, granny smith apples (diced small) bananas, almond milk (or skim milk) all in equal amounts. Mix with some craisons, and set overnight. Fantastic stuff. Stays good for 3 days. Let me know if you are interested and I can give a few more details. Or just google "Swiss Oatmeal".
