    Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage patty on a toasted whole grain English muffin and greek yogurt.

    I am also a big fan of breakfast frittata. Eggs, bread, turkey sausage, and I usually throw some asparagus or broccoli in there, with reduced fat natural cheese. I am a nurse and have to be to work at 7 am. If I make this on a Sunday for brunch with the family, I always have plenty of leftovers that I can throw into my lunch bag already prepared.

    My breakfast problem was that I am always hungry about 1 hour after eating. I aske MFP people for help. They suggested muffins, eggs, bacon and fruit. This morning I had a muffin with egg beaters and turkey bacon. It was very filling and tasty.

    I make fruit smoothies in the morning. Throw in a small banana, orange juice and some yogurt (raspberry is my favorite) and blend away! Grab a piece of toast with peanut butter too and you're good to go! If you don't like yogurt add frozen berries instead and less juice. I have made my own granola before too, it's an alternative to cereal and great for snacking on the go.

    As as been mentioned before if you don't like eating breakfast, then don't! Save those calories for when you actually want them. Eating breakfast does not "kickstart your metabolism" or any such nonsense. It's certainly not a hindrance to weight loss not eating breakfast.

    I LOVE breakfast, one of the lucky ones it seems.

    This morning I had omelet, with mushrooms, and corgettes. Sliced four mushrooms, grated one corgette and mixed eggs with a little water and a wee sprinkle of salt. YUM!

    I then had about and hour later a single microwave oat sachet, sultana and apple. Filled me up until lunch and the total was only 420 calories. :happy:

    Why not have lunch or dinner for breakfast? i have not seen any rules of etiquette that preclude this.

    protein instead of eggs - If you like a chicken wrap for lunch, have it in the morning. Or hamburgers. Kippers? Just a slice of ham on an english muffin. Quick fried seasoned tofu in hot noodles with snow peas. I really, really like a slice of salmon when we can afford it.

    carbohydrates - I like oatmeal but how about quinoa? Or cous-cous, the pearl shaped kind, with spices and bits of tomato and mint. Corn meal as muffins, polenta, grits.

    Fats - Have a slice of bacon. (Heretic! Burn the witch!) No, wait, we are all so concerned with fats, I'm sure it could be compensated for later. Once in a while is fine. Every day is fine if you stay at your caloric target.

    leftovers - Y'know, that bean soup or beef stew was really good last night. Nuke a mug in the morning. Hit it with some hot sauce. Pizza - you are going to impress everyone with just salad at lunch, so get your calcium in the morning!

    Slices of apples and cheese. There are sooo many types of cheese. Can one substitute jicama for apple? they have a similar crunchy texture.

    Fruit - dried cranberries, apples, cherries. Fresh mango.

    WTH is a "corgette"?

    This may be in here already, I didn't read through all the responses, but my favorite is greek yogurt with berries and just a little healthy cereal (I eat Uncle Sam's) stirred in. I know you said you were tired of eggs, but have you tried egg salad for breakfast? I make it with mustard no mayo and leave out 1/2 the yolks, either on an english muffin or in a wheat wrap? Good luck!

    I love baked oatmeal and it's quick. On sunday I make a bread pan with it then divide it into baggies for the week. then I can zap a baggie for 30 seconds or so and eat it with a fork or spoon. I use the cooking light recipe from October 2003. I just cut the sugar and add more nuts for protein.

    My go-to breakfast is Eggo low-fat Nutrigrain waffles with peanut butter. I add some kind of fruit on the side, like some grapes and a banana, and a big glass of almond milk! Delicious and it keeps me set until lunch.

    I too have been eating a lot of eggs, this morning I made a Morning Star Veggie burger patty with some red onion and a but of Ketchup (I chop an onion and put it in the freezer so I can use a bit at a time). I have to start the day eating something higher in protein and lower in carbs or I am hungry again in an hour.

    I really liked the English muffin/Tomato/Pepperjack/Avacado idea. -Thanks!
