    How about grits?

    Other alternatives are fruit-based pancakes with a little lite syrup, waffles, toast with jam and/or butter.

    You could do some toast with a tiny bit of butter and/or jelly, or a bagel thin with whatever you like. I'm really into turkey bacon, but I have to be careful of the sodium. The morning star sausage patties are also delicious!

    I love eggs. Every morning I saute onions, peppers and mushrooms and add scrambles eggs. When it is done I put on some salsa (no sugar in the ingredients) and Cholula hot sauce.

    Then I have oatmail for a mid-morning snack.

    If you want a hot breakfast, learn to like eggs. Life becomes a whole lot easier.

    Hot and traditional, but no eggs, pancakes, or waffles...? Might as well skip it.

    There are some traditionally 'cold' cereals that work hot. Trying to think of a name, but the only thing I remember is that it tasted like sawdust.

    Oh, I know. I have a friend whose a nutritionist and she's sort of chubby. Anyway, years ago when I lost weight she was aghast that I did so without beans,lentils, and oatmeal - all of which I detest. I can't eat food I don't like; I'd rather be hungry !

    I eat cream of wheat. I add a little splenda to it. I go through phases with oatmeal, so when I'm not on an oatmeal kick I switch to cream of wheat.

    pita or wrap - 2 slices of turkey bacon - 1/4 c. shredded cheese of your choice - i put an egg in mine every morning, but a fried peice of firm tofu would work great too - sometimes i put in salsa or spinach. yummy!

    You can find 100 calorie english muffins or sandwich thins which are only 100 calorie. They aren't too bad.

    This. I should remind you that half of these are sweet, half are savory.
    If there's nothing amongst these, and the rest of all the great suggestions, that tickle your fancy, I would submit to you that you need to stick with oatmeal.

    Make the mix up in bulk (http://healthydoesntmeanboring.blogspot.com/2011/06/pancake-bisquit-mix.html). Takes less than 15 minutes in the morning.

    Morningstar Farms makes a really good veggie sausage patty. It sounds horrendous, but they're actually quite tasty. They're in the frozen section and only take like 45 seconds too microwave. Sometimes I have one of those on a toasted english muffin with a little fat free cheese. Delicious!

    yes its a trick but you get all the benefits of whoe oats without the hassle or taste or anything like that...

    grind your raw oats in a coffee grinder or other food processor and mix into your protein shake and if you also be hatin on protein shakes, mix it into a smoothie...and if you be hatin on smoothies...then try raisin bran

    How about a breaskfast buritto without the eggs? There are plenty of non-egg combinaions like tofu scramble, spinach, sauteed vegetables, sweet potatoes, hash browns, black beans, salsa, etc. (some of the meats that others suggested- I don't eat meat so that's why I did not list it).

    Grilled cheese sandwich

    Since you don't like peanut butter so perhaps another kind of nut butter like cashew butter or almond butter

    Smoothies with whatever combinations you prefer of fruits, veggies, yogurt, milk, etc.

    Warmed up granola

    Try any style of shredded wheat-add boiling water or hot water to moisten-drain off water -add a fruit or SF maple syrup or sweetener or milk type product over it. Use Sugar Free or Low Cals Use your imagination and taste buds Good luck

    Hash browns in toast......... Justins makes several kinds of nut butters, and they sell them at Walmart even in single serve packets, hazelnut chocolate, almond, even peanut butter. Hazelnut chocolate is alot like nutella. Grill cheese sandwich, or even raisin bread with cheddar or swiss. Protien, fruit and carb.

    If the original poster is that picky of an eater (and it sounds like that is the case), then eat whatever you like outside of the typical "breakfast" genre. I eat reheated dinner leftovers for breakfast from time to time. Hot and delicious!

    Skip breakfast.
    Seriously.

    I would skip it, but I am actually really hungry for breakfast. My days start around 5:15 a.m., so I typically want (and very much look forward to) breakfast.

    I know this sounds funny, but have you ever tried using tofu like scrambled eggs? I thought is was great!

    Can't... I'm allergic to soy. :-|
