    Portion of dinner from the night before that you set aside to reheat for breakfast.
    Small beef or turkey burger topped with cheese. No bread.
    Nuts, dried fruit, and some cheese.

    For me, I generally have a nice portion of red-berries (I buy large prozen bags of the stuff and defrost in the fridge before bed!!) with vanilla yohgurt on top.
    It's filling, tasty and all in all for the large-ish portion I have.. only contains around 300 calories in total!

    Smoothie with fruit (banana and frozen bluberries are easy), oats, yogurt, coconut milk.

    I bake a "frittata" and split it in 1/4 for easy warm up breakfasts during the week. My favorites are cabbage/bacon and BLT. Each 1/4 is less than 150 calories.

    I typically have 2 eggs scrambled, and a toasted english muffin with PB2. And coffee. Always coffee.

    Would love to see what people have for breakfast as I am a cereal junkie and have found it hard to move to any thing else.

    If possible post up a pic like Queenmunchy did as that looks great ! post up a pic even if it is a "butter sandwich on waffles"

    Porridge with fruit, seeds and Greek yogurt; wholemeal bagel with nut butter and banana; scrambled egg with avocado and chopped tomato on rye bread toast; lean bacon with sautéed mushrooms, grilled tomato, sugar free baked beans and a poached egg (healthy fry up at the weekend!)

    Lately I've just been having a whole wheat english muffin with some PB. Other times I'll have a sweet potato sausage skillet with a runny egg on top or, this morning, I had some thin burger buns left over from the weekend so I made a sandwich with one containing 1/4 avocado, two slices of turkey breast and a fried egg.

    EDIT: I generally try to keep my breakfasts around 400 calories; I don't have mid-morning snacks.

    Thumbs up on the homemade egg Mc muffin - 100 calorie whole wheat muffin , slice of nitrate free honey ham and over easy egg. Yum. But my all time favorite is my version of eggs florentine . Sautéed spinach on half toasted English muffin with over easy egg , ham slice and a dijon mustard drizzle with fresh fruit. The great thing about the breakfast sandwiches is I can prep a weeks worth on Sunday , wrap them and throw them in the freezer for a quick breakfast if pressed for time .

    Tomatoes! At least this time of year, they are in season and I can eat them every meal. Tomato and cream cheese on a slice of whole wheat bread, cottage cheese and tomato or a tomato, onions and egg scramble are great breakfasts.

    Raw buckwheat groats! They are gluten free and high in protein (and cheap if bought in bulk). I like to cut up apple and frozen blueberries and add almond milk

    Raw? The buckwheat I use for Kasha Varnishkes is hard as a rock so I'm confused...

    Those look delicious! Recipe?

    Ingredients:
    4 slices center cut bacon
    8oz sliced cabbage (I use bagged coleslaw)
    4 eggs
    4 egg whites or ¾ cup liquid egg whites
    ¼ cup nonfat milk
    Salt/pepper to taste
    1-2 scallions, sliced


    Method:
    Chop and crisp the bacon in a pan. Remove the bacon and cook the cabbage in the remaining bacon grease until soft – set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, egg whites, milk, salt and pepper. Line the bottom of a cake pan with parchment paper. Pour egg mixture into pan and add cabbage distributing evenly. Top with bacon and scallions. Bake at 400 for approx. 20 minutes until set. 144 calories per 1/4 serving.

    The BLT frittata is the exact same recipe, but I swap out the cabbage for 3 oz of baby spinach, 60 grams (if I remember correctly) of sliced grape tomatoes instead of scallions - 132 calories per 1/4 serving.

    You can really use the base recipe and add in any combo of meat, cheese and veggies. :)

    Chicken/Turkey slice in a muffin/small pie tin with scrambled eggs/or a cracked egg and maybe some bacon, cooked for 10 mins in the oven, if really extravagant, I add some cheese. I also add things like finely chopped onions, mushrooms, spices etc to vary the flavour. I normally make extras of these and bring one or two with me to eat at work, and have one in the fridge for a quick snack before dinner or the gym.

    Devilled eggs with avocado, hardboil or softboil (depending on tastebuds) 3 eggs, divide lenght ways, scoop out the egg plums and mix with avocado, some finely chopped onion and scoop it all back into your 3 eggs, and have a small (optional) dollop of salsa on the side. High in proteins and natural fat and keeps the hunger away for me from 7am to 12-1pm when I have my lunch and tastes yummy and so easy to do.

    These sound useful! Do these stay together easily? Do you cook the scrambled egg before the oven stage or let it cook in the oven?

    Scrambled eggs I usually do with bacon if I want them to stay together and take with me for lunch etc, otherwise, with a cracked egg they do stay together, lovely with jalapeno's and some crumbled feta cheese. I found below some other recipes for breakfast muffins/quiches that I think I will try too, think they will also work great with a salad for lunch

    This morning I had two slices of toast with jam and 2 boiled eggs. I usually hve fried or scrambled but I needed a new frying pan so boiled today.
    I'm intrigued about the idea of eating dinner foods for breakfast like someone posted above. Do anymore people do this?
