1 packet instant oatmeal (any flavor you like really) + spoonful of chia seed, spoonful of oat bran, spoonful of ground flax (grind every few days - it'll go rancid if you try to grind up several cups). Spoonful of dried fruit if your bloodsugar allows it (raisins, craisins) + boiling water (more than you might think). Stirabout, let it sit for 3 minutes and enjoy. You can add a bit of coconut oil if you like more fat. I keep all the 'add ins' like chia, bran, etc...in jars on the countertop, when I'm making this I don't want to have to think or search for ingredients. What's handy goes in the bowl.0

Oats and protein.
At home this means hot oatmeal with protein powder and fruit.
At work it's a shake in a blender with oats, protein powder and ice.0 -
Lots of great ideas! Thank you!0

Yes, take advice from the guy that doesn't make breakfast. Lol
I jest. Society is funny.
Hahaha! Well, it's quick, not bad for me, and gets me going. Now, if you asked me last year, it would've been a ham, egg, & cheese on a sesame seed bagel, blueberry muffin, and a large regular coffee... at a WHOPPING 1110 calories!!0 -
My go-to breakfast this week is half and half steel cut oats and Red River cereal. A half cup of each in four cups of water. I'll add dried fruit of some kind. Bring to a boil the night before and turn off the heat. In the morning, the cereal is plumped and absorbed all the water. I eat a cup at a time with yogurt.0

I don't eat a low cal breakfast, but I normally have a 2-egg omelet with feta and vegetables (usually a green and something else--today spinach and broccoli), plus some other kind of protein (today, smoked salmon, often greek yogurt), and some green beans I wanted to use up on the side (I'd often have fruit instead).0

My overnight oats are really low-cal and quite filling.
-20g rolled oats
-57g greek yogurt (I'm using Chobani non-fat Strawberry)
-1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
-3/4 tsp chia seeds (it registers on the scale as 1g)
-3g chocolate chips added on in the morning
150 cal, 23g carbs, 3g fiber, 8g protein, 3g fat
It's a really good combination for me.

Whey protein in coffee? That's a new one...how does heat affect the whey, and what is the consistency of the finished product?
I might try that.
It's better with casein rather than whey I've found. Casein gets kind of creamy. I don't put any milk, just 15g of the powder. Morning coffee has 50-60 calories and 11g protein.0 -
Chicken sausage links, fruit and English muffin with a little butter or peanut butter. Eggs and a mini bagel, orange juice.
Sandwich of wheat toast, over easy egg, slice of ham or Canadian bacon and laughing cow wedge, hot tea
Smoothie and a handful of good granola
I like to keep it around 300 calories, plenty of protein, and 10 minutes or less to make.
