I tend to go in breakfast waves. I'll do shakes for a couple weeks and get burned out so I'll switch to something else for a couple week and the pattern repeats.
Right now I'm loving my (1) hardboiled egg and (1/4) avocado on a piece of Killer Dave's 60 cal bread. I sprinkle a little Trader Joe's everything seasoning and I'm a happy camper!

If I'm in a hurry, oatmeal with a scoop of protein powder and cinnamon. If I've got time, egg/egg whites, bell pepper, oatmeal and protein shake. Sometimes I put the eggs in two corn tortillas with avocado and/or salsa. I workout in the mornings so usually I have two breakfasts. The first is a protein shake and then the second is the second breakfast I listed.10

Cereal enriched cereal most of the time for me...8

During the week, it's usually scrambled eggs topped with salsa or green chile and diced avocado with charro beans.18

eggs, fried, scrambles, or omelette...or coffee...or both - JACKPOT18

I fried egg, 2 fried egg whites, sauteed jalapenos, cilantro wrapped in a 100 calorie tortilla with a dash or two of Tapatio hot sauce22

Either two soft boiled eggs, veggies leftover from dinner the night before, and 1/2 a grapefruit or one soft boiled egg, leftover veggies, 1/2 a grapefruit and a 100-calorie English muffin with sugar free preserves.
(I currently work from home so I don't have the morning rush and commute to worry about, but when I didn't, my go to was peanut butter and raisins on rice cakes.)5 -
I go through phases of things for breakfast. Sometimes I go days eating just coffee and cookies, then there is the oatmeal phase with the occasional egg breakfast, the semolina pudding phase, the leftovers phase, the sandwich phase, the cake phase, the fruits phase, the no breakfast phase...etc. I'm currently in a cauliflower "cake" phase.10

My standard is an english muffin toasted on a grill pan along with a Trader Joe's Meatless Breakfast Patty (or Morning Star Vegan Sausage Patty) - a smear of jam - and sometimes with a fried egg. Alongside: some kind of fresh fruit, usually berries, canteloupe, mango, or a combo. Quick, tasty, and can travel if needed.

Whole wheat low carb Mission tortilla with 2 tbsp garlic hummus, one serving of Perdue shortcuts chicken, a generous handful of baby spinach, and a quarter of an avocado.10

Work days I vary. I pre-make a freeze breakfast burritos on weekends. Or Oatmeal and blueberries. Or a frozen breakfast sandwich (If I'm feeling extra lazy on weekends).
Weekends, 1 egg over easy on a slice of rye toast. Or a Egg Beaters scramble and some pre-cooked sausage.4 -
Warm weather months a cup of Chobani Non Fat Plain Greek Yogurt, a banana and mixed nuts.
Cold weather months I prefer a cup of Oatmeal with blueberries and mixed nuts.8 -
Smoothie:
2 handfuls spinach
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
It's very filling and low cal (approx 230 I believe)
Lately I've also been adding 8oz of pasteurized egg whites for an extra boost of protein!22 -

I love oatmeal with protein powder! Another go-to is plain greek yogurt with chia seeds, cinnamon, coconut butter, and mango. I know it sounds like a crazy combo but it is SO GOOD5 -
Usually defaults to these 3 meals with scrambled eggs being the most common as it's very filling to me. Others are filling too but I get hungry faster and I tend to do smoothies more often at night.
- Scrambled eggs - 1 whole egg, 3-4 egg whites, bell pepper, nutritional yeast, and some Tabasco sauce
- Pancakes - 1 banana, 1 egg, and oatmeal (blended)
- Smoothie - blueberries, yogurt, pb2, banana, water, and ice. Sometimes I add in spinach if I have them in the fridge.
Always a handful of cashews on the way out the door.15 -
My routine usually consists of a green tea/peppermint latte and a scrambled egg after my 7 mile bike ride in the mornings. I just started routinely drinking the green tea/peppermint as the green tea (in theory) helps the dieting and the peppermint helps with tummy unhappiness. So far, liking the results. Not having to take over the counter tummy meds anymore!10

1 or 2 eggs, usually 2, scrambled, poached, fried, boiled or omelet.
1 slice of toast from my local gluten free bake shop.
Butter to cook the eggs in and on the toast.
Coffee with half and half
Sometimes parmesan cheese on the toast.
Cheese if it's an omelet and sometimes in the scrambled eggs.

We rotate through a bunch of things...most of my breakfasts are pretty small, like 200 calories, just because I find that I'm satisfied by a low cal breakfast and eat more calories at lunch & dinner.
egg and toast
feta omelet & berries
egg tacos
avocado toast (sometimes w/ egg)
veggie sausage & egg on half an English muffin
yogurt (various)
freezer waffles with homemade apple butter (extra ginger)
homemade lemon ricotta pancakes (weekends)
steel cut oats with dried cherries and/or nuts
oatmeal with PB&J mixed in
"fridge oats" (I like them very dry, with just oats, yogurt, fruit, chia seeds & ground flax)5 -
Bowl of cereal with milk4
-
Usually eggs - 3 eggs w/ bacon - sometimes with greens or broccoli mixed in - sometimes cheese- sometime with a piece of fruit - mango/ banana + coffee sometimes its peanut butter & bread1
