    Egg wraps, I make them in advance, and I just microwave and eat in the morning.

    1 egg + 1 egg white beaten with a touch of milk (87 cals) - cook in a pan like an omelet
    1 slice of lean ham (25 cals) - put in the tortilla with the cheese
    1/4 cup low cal mozzarella cheese (80 cals)
    1 weight watchers whole wheat tortilla (100 cals)

    wrap all ingredients up only when eggs are cooled and then wrap in a paper towel, stick in the fridge. Microwave for 45 seconds in the morning.

    292 cals and keeps me full from 6am till about 11am. xo

    Mission Carb balance flour tortilla. 9 slices of turkey pepperoni, 2 Tablespoons of salsa, one slice of Fat Free Cheddar Cheese slices. Put in microwave for about 15 seconds (just enough to start melting cheese). And fold up to eat. Very portable. Very quick. Only 150 calories. And filling!

    1 cup Fage nonfat plain Greek yogurt mixed with 2 TB PB2 (reconstituted) and a heaping TB of organic granola. I eat it almost every day. 26 grams of protein and it is soooo yummy.

    I found that the special k protein plus cereal is great! But It doesn't have much flavor so I use a flavor of the light and fit 80 cal yogurts and I have a great breakfast of 180 cals and it keeps me full till lunch! :)

    A balance of protein and whole grain carbs works best for me. energy + staying power. Two ideas:

    (1) Make instant oatmeal **with milk or soy milk** ( there are low sugar and weight-loss types). Have 2 envelopes if you need them or add a handful of plain quick oats to make larger serving that is less sweet. If you like the old fashioned or steel cut, cook up a big pot on the stove for the week on Sunday night, and just spoon out a bowlful to put in the microwave each morning. You can also add dried fruit and almonds or walnuts to rev it up.

    (2) A breakfast sandwich. I use a whole grain bolillo ( like a sub sandwich bun, sort of), and fill it with 2 oz of smoked turkey breast and a slice of muenster cheese. Make it the night before if you are in too much of a rush in the morning. Zap the breakfast sandwich for 35 seconds, and there you have it - you can even eat it in the car, it's not messy!

    I've been using a great protein shake that keeps me full all morning. I also find that egg beaters keep me full...I like to make veggie omelets when I have time. I also like to eat lite mulit-grain english muffins w/ reduced peanut butter...it's very filling too! :wink:

    I'm sure others will disagree, but I do an Egg McMuffin from McDonalds almost everyday. 300 calories and keeps me full till lunch. The sodium is a little high, but works for me.

    If you lose the cheese and the butter it's even better!

    I really love the WW Smartones Breakfast Sandwiches. Very similar to an egg mcmuffin but only 210 calories and something like 7g of fat. Only two min to prepare and i LOVE them. Available at pretty much any grocery store or walmart in the freezer section.

    Mushroom, Cheese and Veggie Omelet

    1 egg 1 egg white
    1 cup of sliced mushroom
    Green bell peppers
    Onions
    Tomatoes
    Shredded low fat cheese of mozerella or cheddar
    Olive oil
    Salt


    In a skillet heat the olive oil and then throw-in the mushroom and veggies. Beat the eggs along with the salt and then pour it into the skillet. Flip when one side is cooked and then top it with the cheese.

    Sometimes I even add two pieces of turkey sausage on the side. I like a good fulfilling breakfast.

    The two minute microwave mug bread from the recipes thread. I tweak it a bit by adding 1 tbsp of blueberry craisins......so yummy and filling.

    1/3 cup of quinoa and 2 scrambled egg whites. I feel so full all day long, that I usually cannot finish my dinner!
