    Greek yogurt parfait - layer yogurt, Fiber One (or Kashi Go Lean) berries and a few nuts. Protein, fat, and fiber counts are good so this keeps me full awhile.

    I also like oatmeal made with milk (for protein) and I stir in some nut butter. Apple cinnamon with chopped nut is good too.

    With reduced calories (and no medical issues) I just try to get the most bang for my calorie buck. Choose protein, choose whole grains, choose whole fruits (or veggies) and add some fat.

    I get very bored with breakfast and I'm always starving when I wake up, so I tend to rotate meals often.

    During the week I usually pack and bring to work:
    (1) 1 hardboiled egg, greek yogurt, and raspberries or blueberries.
    (2) Protein bar and apple or orange.
    (3) Oatmeal and fresh berries. I make oatmeal lots of different ways like honey and granola, peanut butter and jelly oatmeal, chocolate peanut butter oatmeal, or with raisins and a touch of brown sugar.
    (4) Today I was extra hungry. I had a pumpkin protein muffin, a chocolate peanut butter protein shake, and an apple.

    On the weekends I actually cook a bit more in the morning, so I'll make scrambled eggs with onions and peppers and hot sauce, and sometimes have a strip of two of bacon. Other days I'll make fruit smoothies, or homemade pancakes. To make pancakes and muffins healthier and lower calorie I use oat flour instead of regular flour, honey instead of sugar, and skip the sugary syrup.

    Everything can be "healthy" if you keep in mind your macros and monitor the types of individual ingredients you are putting into everything. I find it's easier to adjust my meals/calories based on how hungry I am and how much exercise I'm planning on doing for the day.

    My typical breakfast is 2 eggs scrambled with 2 cups of steamed baby spinach, a sourdough English muffin with a tsp of butter, half cup of mixed berries and my coffee with 2 tbs creamer... If I'm more hungry, I'll skip the coffee and creamer, add a couple slices of bacon, and switch out one of the eggs for 2 egg whites...

    I'm not stuck on breakfast food for breakfast, so the choices are limitless. I've found that once you break the idea that you have to eat a specific kind of meal at a specific time of day you have a lot more choice. My recent favorite is rolled lean turkey and ham with a handful of greek olives and a little feta.

    I see nothing at all wrong with those as a breakfasts. You might want to weigh things, though, and compare them to labels to make sure of the calorie count.

    My breakfast tends to be small. I eat a Fiber One brownie. Gets me the fiber I need, keeps full up until lunch, and is surprisingly tasty. And 90 calories. Add some G2 or iced tea and I'm good for several hours. Plus, I can eat on the run!
