    Overnight oats with chia seeds, soya milk and then I add fresh fruit when I eat it. I don't know why but it seems more filling when it's cold. Could just be me!

    6 oz Fage 0% Greek yogurt mixed with 32 grams unsalted almond butter. Delicious, filling and 290 calories.

    The best thing I discovered is "Summer Porridge" It's delicious and filling and low cal!
    See recipes below, I Usually add 1 serving of oatmeal, 1/3 cup greek yogurt (nonfat), ALmond milk, Flax seeds (or chia), blueberries or other fruit, and a touch of honey or maple syrup for sweetness! Usually no more than 300 -350 cals

    Why eggs? Any protein would work - beef, pork, poultry, fish, cheese, etc.

    That's what I want to know. Why eat eggs if you don't like them?

    English muffin (Thomas whole grain or high fiber, around 100-120 cals) with a smear of cream cheese (60 cals), tomato, spinach (15ish cals), shredded rotisserie or leftover chicken (120ish)

    Whole grain toast with 1T hummus, deli or roasted turkey breast, sliced cucumber, tomato, spinach

    Bagel thin with mashed avocado and turkey or cheese - Wholey guacamole 100 calorie packs are pretty convenient for this, and you can keep them in the freezer for a couple months. They thaw in a few minutes.

    Whole wheat waffle with peanut butter and apple slices

    Leftover dinner? I once made pumpkin walnut pancakes, froze them, and popped them in the toaster. Worked well, but I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin - I was trying to like new things. The recipe I used did have a fair amount of protein and fiber, and was under 300 for 2 pancakes.

    If you don't like the sight of eggs, you can add them into a breakfast burrito. Just brown up some sausage, sautee some peppers and onions and scramble some eggs, then wrap them in a tortilla wrap.

    I'm the same way about eggs. They have to be fully cooked before I can enjoy them, and if I end up having an omelette, both sides have to be practically semi-burnt to ensure it's cooked all the way through.

    In case you don't like the taste of semi-burnt eggs - ignore if you want the texture from drying them out. I know some people prefer them that way:

    You can cook them at a low temp for longer and get them completely cooked without drying them out.

    Another method is steaming - mix as usual for a scramble and then put the mix in a steamer until cooked all the way through. The steam cooks at high heat, so it's done quickly, but it also prevents moisture loss.

    There have to be other sources of protein that you can have other than eggs. I'm with ya though on the "runny" issue.

    Hard boiled eggs or Greek yogurt - various cheeses can all help. Or just have some turkey or leftover steak or something.

    I'd have steak stir fried with broccoli, onions and peppers (hot and sweet).

    Eggs because I'm not a morning person, I'm not very creative and they seem to be key in getting me to lunch without my stomach growling. I'm going to give all this some thought and over the weekend come up with some new breakfasts for next week. Thanks for all the ideas!
