    Nothing. I do a 16 hour LeanGains fast until noon daily. Breakfast is usually grassfed beef, chicken, steak or salmon with veggies.

    I eat a huge breakfast, usually. (And I'm pretty picky, too). I like vanilla yogurt with almonds and a little bit of frozen fruit, bialys with jelly, oatmeal with honey or raisins.. anything along those lines :)
    Unfortunately I don't like eggs, but egg whites are super healthy and can be made a lot of different ways too.

    I work out before breakfast then usually have a smoothie immediately after made of:

    1/2 cup fat-free plain yogurt
    ice
    water
    protein powder
    1 tb psyllium seeds whole husks fiber powder (for bulk)
    1 tb flax seeds powder
    1/4 c strawberries and or blueberries
    1 medium banana


    Its plenty to drink and is very filling!
    I used to eat far more than that, and with more calories, but this keeps me going for several hours.

    I get a lot of recipes from the Hungry Girl Website (hungry-girl.com). I never knew diet foods could taste so good! This morning, I'm going to make her pina coloda oatmeal. Sounds YUMMY!!!

    when I get bored of the typical "breakfast" foods, I sometimes make a 1/2 wheat pita, shredded cheese and 5 or so slices of turkey pepperoni. warm it in the microwave. YUMMY, almost like a mini pizza with out the sauce. I haven't had one since I have been on MFP the past month (lost 12 lbs so far), so I am not sure of the calories - but I will check it out for quick snacks as well. Another quick tip for the tky pepperoni is to place them in a single layer inside a paper towel and microwave them 10-20 seconds, they get real crispy and are a great addition to a salad - almost like bacon bits.

    Well right now im having eggs w/ veggies and salsa .. also a kolache :) I know you said no eggs and sausage lol.. I got bored with cheerios too.. try getting a different one. Fiber one honey clusters is tasty and it fills me up.. I also cut up banana in it with almond milk. Greek yogurt with granola and a piece of fruit. Like some of the others mentioned.. it doesn't necessarily have to be "breakfast foods" eat what you feel like eating at the time.

    Special K has some very tasty bars, my favorite is rasberry cheesecake, but there are many flavors. those are quick and easy and you can have some fruit with that. to get a little extra protein, a slice of cheese or a cheese stick (lowfat if you like it). Regular cheese slice if it fits within your calorie and fat. one kraft american single has about 70 calories and 5 grams of fat. the 2% has 50 calories and 2.5 grams of fat.

    There are also delithins or deli flats that come in a variety of brands. they re great for sandwichs but for breakfast you can toast and put 1 tablespoon peanut butter or some type of cream cheese spread or cheese as above.

    As others have said, doesn't need to be breakfast food. when I get tired of breakfast food, I have made a turkey sandwich.

    Hello, I eat yogart (Chobani), fresh fruit (strawberries and about 10/20 grapes with low fat cottage cheese), whole wheat toast with little jelly, 2 hard boiled egg whites, decaf coffee or green tea. On the weekend I treat myself to 2 small pancakes with lite maple syrup. I alternate breakfast items during the week ,so I won't get bored.

    I usually have some coffee with stevia and 1 cup of fruit. I am not a big breakfast person so its been a big step for me to even eat anything in the morning.

    Have you tried eating a non breakfast food for breakfast? I'm dong Atkins and instead of eggs sometimes, I will have a grilled chicken salad, or whatever last nights dinner was. Who says oatmeal, bagels or cereal is the only thing you can do for breakfast?

    Personally I am an oatmeal addict, but since you're not a fan, here's some of my other breakfast options that may work for you! English muffins or toast (with peanut butter, sugar-free jam/marmalade, maybe a little bit of margarine or a slice of melted cheese), ham or bacon (high in sodium but they really do fill me up! I just watch my sodium for the rest of the day afterwards), cereal or berries mixed with yogurt and chocolate protein powder, or just leftovers from dinner the night before :)

    Like someone else said, Kashi Go Lean cereal is very good - high fiber and protein; that way you can still have your cereal and get the protein you need! Plus, there's protein in the milk too!
