I'm sure you'll get plenty of suggestions. Just wanted to say that you don't have to eat breakfast if you prefer not to. Many of us skip it for a variety of reasons.8

I normally eat 1-2 boiled eggs, 2 slices of turkey bacon and instant oatmeal.
You can also make a protein shake in the morning with your favorite fruits and almond milk or coconut milk.1 -
I saw on Pinterest a couple of really good sounding "oatmeal in a jar" options1

I usually like to keep my breakfast at or below 200 calories. I find that I am perfectly satisfied by a very small breakfast and then I have way more calories leftover to have a larger lunch & dinner (or snacks, but I don't usually choose to snack).
Some of the things I have in regular rotation (along with a mug of black coffee or chicory tea):
Greek yogurt (plain or with fruit)
A cooked egg & slice of toast or 1/2 English muffin
Oatmeal with a spoonful each of PB&J mixed into it
Steel cut oats (soaked overnight and cooked in the A.M.) with dried fruit & a few chopped nuts
cereal with unsweetened almond milk
Bean sprout omelet w/ sriracha and 1/2 orange
Egg taco on a small tortilla with salsa
Multigrain freezer waffle w/ sugar free syrup & veggie sausage
Hard boiled egg and mango smoothie made with hemp protein & almond milk
French toast with sugar free syrup and sometimes veggie sausage
1/2 avocado on toast with a fried egg4 -
If you have decided that you want to eat breakfast (despite popular belief, it isn't required for weight loss), eat what you like. There are no rules about breakfast. Personally, I stick to a few go-tos. Half a bagel, a turkey sausage, veggie and egg patty* and some kind of fruit is my first choice. Another of my favorites is a wedge of laughing cow cheese on an english muffin with some deli ham or turkey and fruit. I will do a breakfast burrito every once in a while. In a pinch, greek yogurt with fruit and granola works too. These things keep me full and satisfied. I make the breakfast patties ahead and freeze them. They take 2 to 3 minutes to heat up depending on the microwave strength. I can provide the recipe for the breakfast patties if they sound interesting to you.0

Not a breakfast person but my first meal is usually a peanut butter and banana sandwich with coffee. Or, leftovers from supper.0

I used to never eat breakfast. Now I still either skip breakfast or have one that is mostly proteins and fats. My favorite is a burger patty, beef or turkey, topped with a poached or fried egg. Sometimes it's some other leftover meat from dinner the night before. Very filling.
If I start early in the day with too many carbs I go nuts on carbs all day. *I'm not low carb but I can seriously devour way too many carbs calories🤐. I save carbs for later in the day.1 -
My favorite breakfast is over easy eggs atop a baked potato with salsa. This usually sates me for many hours.
And like many said, eating breakfast is not required.0 -

Similar on the proteins and fats and the effect of too many carbs for breakfast for me, except I MUST eat breakfast or I feel hungry all day regardless of what I eat.
I usually have 1/2 avocado on thin sliced Dave's Killer Bread toast with either a medium egg or smoked salmon on top. Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel seasoning helps create the flavor profile of an everything bagel with cream cheese and lox, which is on my top craveable list.

Breakfast is my favorite! Usually I scramble up some eggs with rice and some vegetables. Lately I’ve been frying eggs and putting them on baked potatoes!0

I always workout in the morning fasted. Once I get home I make this.
3 - 4 Servings Egg Whites
3 Whole Eggs
1 Chicken Sausage cutup
28oz part skim mozzarella cheese0 -
Boiled eggs are usually a go to for me, but I've also taken to making muffin cup omlettes ahead of time and eating them over the week. Basically, you take buy a muffin tin, take an egg, break it in the muffin cup, whisk it, and add your favorites (cheese, ham, veggies, etc), and bake it in the oven. They are simple and good to eat throughout the week.1

I like to scramble 1-2 eggs with onion, red and green bell peppers and a quarter piece of a skinless turkey sausage cut up. It’s like a scrambled omelette, I have that with whatever fruits I choose to juice that morning.1

Yummy suggestions!!!!!0

My go to breakfasts are Kodiak pancakes, omelettes, and breakfast burritos made with a high fiber wrap.0

Depends on your likes and dislikes. Some like cereals. For that, Oatmeal is great. I'm an egg person. I pre-make breakfast wraps (about 240 calories on average) and freeze them so if I don't have time to cook in the morning I can grab and go. Yogurt with (homemade) granola is good as well. Maybe you're a toast/english muffin person. make that with some nut butter you like and an all-fruit spread (or banana). Also, some muffins can be made very healthy (and potentially low calorie). I love molasses bran muffins.1

I rotate based on how I feel. Oats, eggs & legumes are batch prepared on weekends.
1. Steal cut oats w/ walnuts, hemp hearts, chia seeds, flax seeds and a small amount of fruit/jam/maple syrup.
2. Two hard boiled eggs w/ legumes (lentils or beans).
3. Vegan protein shake w/ unsweetened almond milk, banana, blueberries,and chia seeds
I drink 2 glasses of cold water before breakfast and a bullet proof coffee after.1 -
I just created a new healthier breakfast meal for myself. I take a one of the short red plastic cups cut up have of a banana in slices and mash those down with a spoon and sprinkle some cinnamon on top. Then I put about 3-4 tablespoons of plain greek yogurt and sprinkle a little more cinnamon. Then I take a handful of honey nut cheerios and sprinkle them on the top and push them down with a spoon. Then I place a ziplock baggie over it and carry it off to work with me. When I eat it, I try to bring some of the banana mixture to the top and some of the cheerios to the bottom. The sweetness of the bananas mixes with the creaminess of the yogurt and the cheerios gives it a little crunch. It is very healthy and not too many calories or carbs.1

250g Yogurt and 125g berries, generally raspberries, blueberries or blackberries. I use Liberte 2% plain greek and sweeten it up with a tbsp of agave syrup. The sweetened stuff from the manufacturer is too sweet and I prefer the taste of agave to any other sweetener in my yogurt.
250g of cottage cheese with a piece of fruit on the side is my other go to. Usually an orange, banana or apple. Some people put fruit in their cottage cheese but that is an affront to man and God in my books.1 -
My weekday breakfast is usually pretty boring...oats with blueberries and almonds and a couple boiled eggs.0
-
lately i've been eating half a bagel with peanut butter.1
