    This morning I had a Banana protein shake made with almond milk. I normally rotate between that and a homemade "sausage mcmuffin" Low carb English muffin, turkey sausage and laughing cow cheese.

    I usually have a four egg omelette that I do in the microwave and put a bunch of green chile on that and a little cheese with a side of oats and slivered almonds.

    Breakfast TOTALLY depends for me. Sometimes it's a couple of cookies. Sometimes it's nothing. This morning I woke up STARVING, so I made some avacado toast. I also had some leftover vegan baked beans, and they sounded good, too, so I heated a bit of those up. Then I realized the the beans on the toast would be delicious. I was not wrong!

    Don't normally eat breakfast unless I'm hungry. For me one jumbo whole egg and 1/2 cup of egg whites "fried" in a pan with non-stick cooking spray keeps me full for quite awhile and it's only 150 calories. It's like a GIANT fried egg.

    I usually have a spinach omelet - 1 egg and 6 ounces egg white (it's huge LOL), an apple and a low sodium v8 juice. This is usually very filling.

    Pasture-raised eggs! More expensive (sadly!) but UN-believably tasty, creamy and buttery, intensely orange yolks...WELL worth it!

    I started keeping chickens 2 years ago and can absolutely vouch for how much more amazing their eggs are compared to regular store bought. Farmer's Market prices here are $7-8 a dozen for backyard chicken eggs, and my friends and circle of people happily buy them from me when I have an excess.

    We have laying hens and I love how amazing the eggs taste. :) We sell them for $5 a dozen and can't even keep up with demand.

    Usually I eat bran cereal, with almond milk along side a protein shake. I also make myself a lower calorie homemade McMuffin with a 100 cal english muffin, a 90 calorie turkey sausage patty, a 60 calorie slice of cheese, and a 60 calorie egg fried in about 1/2 tsp of butter/canola oil (about 8-10 cals). Tastes even better than the 600-700 calorie belly bombers you get at McDonald's. ;)

    I only see a couple breakfast sandwiches on their menu that are over 500 calories. 550 looks like the max. I usually get either the Sausage McMuffin @ 400 cal or the Egg McMuffin @ 300 cal. I keep meaning to try the Egg White Delite @ 250 cal.

    On weekdays I have oatmeal with flaxseed, cinnamon, and sugar. Then within an hour or so I have almonds or a KIND bar with my coffee. On weekends I usually have scrambled eggs with a multigrain bagel or pancakes. High fiber with some fat/protein tends to work for me best for breakfast (I usually have a high protein dinner).

    Home made baked good with oat flour/oatmeal as the base. Banana or orange. Oftentimes peanut butter. Coffee - that's the most important part.

    I have different things for breakfast depending on my mood and what I will do that day. I eat cereal with some milk, or
    yogurt and eggs and bacon or I just drink a meal replacement shake.

    Kale sauteed with bacon and apple cider vinegar, top with a couple of poached eggs. Crushed red pepper. Green tea. That's my fave.

    My mouth is actually watering :o

    I just had a bacon/egg/cheese sandwich and a package of hostess donuts.

    I do a "Eat whatever I want" day about once a month, and this is it. I almost always stay within my calorie goals though.

    I hope you're in the greater NYC area, because the Hudson Valley watershed is THE KEY to a really GOOD hard roll, and deli egg sangwiches on ANYthing else just aren't the same! IMHO...

    I have a bagel with cinnamon butter. 385 calories but it keeps me full until lunch, so I don't find myself snacking between those 2 meals.

    30 gram oatmeal, 72 gram banana, 17 gram peanut butter, and 1 Truvia packet = 300 calories

    Overnight oatmeal a lot, or eggs with hot sauce in a tortilla, avocado toast and my favorite is left over dinner.
