    My typical breakfast
    Coffee
    1.5 cup of cereal (Cheerios or bran flakes)
    3/4 cup whole milk
    10 grams slivered almonds
    30 grams blueberries (I mix it up with strawberries and bananas)

    This generally gets me 3-400 calories depending on variations on fruit type and amount and which cereal I eat. Bran flakes are much higher in calories than Cheerios.

    Using skim or a lower fat milk would lower the calorie count but I want the whole milk and higher fat because I have a highly active job and need the calories in the morning. This does keep me satisfied until lunch time.

    I got so many great suggestions here that yesterday I went to the grocery store and stocked up! For breakfast this morning I had a cup of plain Greek yogurt with 2 ounces of blueberries. I think one of the posters is right when they say that having breads for breakfasts sets you up for a day of hunger. I'll see how today goes with more protein early on. Planning a big egg white omelet with veggies for lunch!

    I like to mix it up. Some mornings I have egg whites, a slice of toasted Dave's Killer Bread, and a banana, and others I will have oatmeal, or a serving of Kodiak pancakes. If I eat the same thing over and over I'll get bored.

    Bacon & eggs, liver mush & eggs, sausage (rarely) and eggs. Good protein in the morning holds me very well

    During the week I always have oatmeal. After its cooked, I put a tblsp of crunchy pb, 3 tsp of brown sugar and a tsp of cocoa powder drizzled all across the top. I let it melt a bit and then spread across the top. I do not mix in. This way I can get some topping in every bite. It takes a long time to eat and keeps me full for 300 calories.

    Other than the frittata I love "hash" made with leftover roasted veggies (The pic is butternut squash, cauliflower and scallion) and topped with a runny egg, or slices of tomato topped with spinach/laughing cow and a runny egg.

    I drink a Premier Protein shake from Costco and eat one ounce of Walnuts. I have one basket of strawberries that I eat per day as snacks between breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner. I typically eat 400 cal meals three times a day. I eat on average 1350 calories per day. I exercise for 30 min which burns the 150 cal so I'm back to my 1200 cal goal. I have lost 2 pounds per week over the last four months. I always have a bottle of water with me and i keep my snacks with me at all times as well so I'm not tempted to cheat out of starvation.

    I am on the 1200 cal, too. Normally, I like to eat cereal with almond milk and it holds me for a while. This morning, I had Greek Yogurt at approx. 5 in the morning, and I must say I didn't get hungry for lunch until well past 1! I was really surprised-I think it's the protein.

    My overnight oats are 1/2 cup oats (the thick cut, real ones, not quick cooking) in a mason jar, cover with 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup plain non fat greek yogurt. Stick it in the fridge--in the morning stir it up and add whatever fruit or nuts or whatever you want. Low cal high fiber toast with fresh ground peanut butter and banana, 100 calorie greek yogurt with fruit and either flax seed or chia seed, green smoothie--2 cups spinach, 2 cups water, 1 banana, 2-3 cups of frozen fruit, 2 T of flax seed (that makes enough for 2 servings in one day or 2 days--especially good if you are busy--I put it in one of those shaker bottles from GNC and take it with me if I am running around so I am not tempted to grab useless snacks just from being unprepared). One thing I really love--sounds goofy but it's yummy--oatmeal topped with 1/2 cup blueberries and a poached egg. Yep--an egg on oatmeal. Delish.

    I love overnight oats. It keeps me full until lunch:

    1/4-1/2 c old fashioned oats
    1-2T chia seeds
    1/4 c nonfat plain Greek yogurt
    1/4 c unsweetened almond milk
    1/4 t vanilla extract
    1/4 t almond extract
    1/4-1/2 c frozen berries
    Pinch of salt
    Stevia to taste

    Mix dry ingredients and wet ingredients in separate containers, then mix. Mason jars work well. Refrigerate overnight and it'll be ready in the morning.

    If I anticiapte having/needing the calories, I'll add more oats and/or yogurt for more fiber/protein. I'll also sub half of the oats with leftover cooked quinoa, rice, other grain. That makes it good. :)

    Of course you can vary the fruits and the flavors/spices. I like bananas and PB2 (more calories), chopped apples and cinnamon, blueberries and bananas, banana and cocoa powder, instant coffee and something, pumpkin purée and banana and cinnamon?, cooked sweet potato purée and apples and cinnamon?

    You could rearrange and add some protein powder, too - perhaps instead of yogurt.

    I've eaten this all summer. I anticipate trying some pumpkin purée and popping it in the microwave for a minute when the cooler weather gets here.
