    Yes you want protein with your breakfast, eggs are good if you eat them. In fact studies have shown that people who eat eggs for breakfast are more likely to lose more weight.

    I almost always have:
    A serving of old fashioned oatmeal made with water (5 minutes at 50% power in the microwave)
    After cooking add:
    some cinnamon
    a little milk
    a scoop of vanilla protein
    a quarter cup blueberries (I use Wyman's of Maine - Fresh Frozen Wild Blueberries so they are available year round)

    YUMM!

    I like to add fruit to my breakfasts. One of my favorites is two frozen low-fat waffles topped with a cup of sliced fruit (strawberries, blueberries, etc.) and whipped topping.

    It's high in calories but I positively love my morning protein shake:
    1 big spoonful of teddie's peanut butter with flaxseed oil
    1-2 bananas (depending on the workout I'll do that morning)
    1 scoop of chocolate peanut butter syntha-6 slow release protein
    2 scoops of chocolate Optimum Nutrition Pro Complex protein (fast protein)
    8 ice cubes
    about 16 oz of water

    Blended up really well it tastes (to me at least) like a reeses peanut butter cup. I'll either drink it on the train to work (my gym's in the city and I go there before going to the office) or after my workout depending on how I'm feeling. That one shake and lots of water usually keeps me full until 2-3PM. I've been eating my lunches later so that my dinner portions are smaller. And that's including days like today where I burned 900 calories on cardio. It is like 700-800 calories for the shake though, so don't know if you want that.

    I am currently eating a cup of Fage 2% Greek Yogurt with 1/4 cup natural almonds, 1/4 cup golden raisins, and 1 cup (with pits) of cherries.

    high in protein and fiber. A bit high in sugar but MOST of it is natural sugar.

    These breakfast dishes sound like lots of work that early in the morning! I couldn't possibly think of grabbing anything else but a banana or granola bar. Coffee in one hand, granola bar in the other. I figure at least I'm eating.

    I usually stop on my way to work for breakfast (especially when I work out in the morning). My favorite is Einstein Bros. Bagels - Bagel Thin Egg White with Turkey Sausage. It only has 240 calories. If you want a few more calories, you can add cheese.

    This can also easily be made from home! Turkey Sausage - Egg Whites - Thin Sandwhich Bun (such as Nature's Own)

    Thanks for all the ideas! I honestly don't buy cereal, but my mom bought the big box of Multi-Grain Cheerios from Costco so I've got it. I am a stay-at-home mom and am homeschooling, so actually cooking breakfast isn't a stretch for me. I've also got a source of free-range eggs for a GREAT price, so my eggs are very healthy. I make a lot of omelets with the veggies and salsa, just not a lot of cheese. I don't do a lot of processed food, in fact I try not to buy it at all. I also don't do low-fat or fat-free just because of all the additives. I'm trying to lose the weight on a natural, balanced diet.

    I tend to alternate between

    - A greek yogurt bowl - take whatever fruit flavor Chobani is in my fridge, top with Kashi go lean crunch and either sliced banana or a handful of blueberries

    - Instant oatmeal with 1 Tbsp flaxseed and same fruit as above mixed in.

    I go with one of three choices for a typical breakfast:
    1. Oatmeal with cinnamon + Truvia
    2. Cascadian Farms Cinnamon Crunch (1cup) + Fat Free milk (1/2 cup)
    3. Scrambled 2-egg omelet with salt & pepper.

    Im addicted to kashi autumn wheat cereal right now and it seems to do the trick after my workouts. Sometimes I throw in a banana too if I feel I need it. Super good and filling. The cinnamon wheat is also good too.
