    When doing a workout first thing in the morning ... I eat 1 slice of whole wheat toast with 1 tsp of all natural peanut butter 60 min prior ,,,, after my workout I eat a cup of Fage 0% Greek Yogurt, 1/3 cup of fresh blueberries, 2 large strawberries, ¼ cup of Special K Granola and a dash of fresh ground ginger .... with this I have already had 24 0z green tea and 32 oz H2O ... This takes place within a 3 hr span. After that I don't need a snack for 4 hrs ! Ha ! When not doing the early workout ... I skip the toast ! :)

    I'm not much of a breakfast eater, but when I do eat I'll have one of two things. A whole wheat english muffin toasted with 2tbs of peanut butter. Or two eggs and 1 slice of cheese on whole wheat toast with ketchup.

    I usually cook my eggs in the bacon grease too. The bacon is uncured nitrate free and That fat/protein keeps me filled super long and since I'm a busy mom and I work I need that.

    I used to eat the kashi go lean cereal but the amount of sugar in that stuff is too much for my comfort level.

    I tend to eat a pretty big breakfast and then each meal gets smaller as the day goes on.

    Waffles, oddly enough (the frozen kind). If I eat cereal, I'm usually dying an hour later. Hard-boiled eggs aren't bad, either. I've tried yogurt and a piece of fruit, but that doesn't leave me feeling full for very long.

    Kashi Go Lean w/ Almond Milk. I usually do 1/2 a serving for both. The high level of fiber in the cereal will assist in giving you that full feeling. I also have an apple during snack time to hold me until lunch.

    Slice of whole wheat bread with about 1 tbsp of light butter, and a piece of light string cheese. Delicious, and keeps me feeling full and energized for 2-3 hours.

    Breakfast is my weak point. I allow myself a cereal - any cereal.

    Coco Pops and Crunchy Nut Cornflakes are favourites.

    Took me a lot of experimentation to settle on that. Fruit didn't fill me up, I couldn't eat porridge because I hate the taste and whilst a breakfast wrap with a Quorn sausage and a hash brown really hit the spot, I knew that wasn't sustainable.

    I'm successfully losing weight eating up to two bowls of a cereal of my choice in the morning, meaning that I can cope until lunchtime without snacking. A sandwich or soup at lunch then fills me up until the evening.

    Protein.

    Eggs, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, meat...

    And fruit or carbs in smaller quantities. Veggies in my scrambled eggs sometimes.

    I found this oatmeal/cereal Bob's Red Mill - Muesli, it has oats, nuts, raisins, etc in it and I add a lite yogurt to it. You have to let it sit for 5 minutes or so to soften the oats (or use hot water instead of yogurt if you want it to be a warm meal), and I add a banana to it. It's a lot of food for 210 calories (including the yogurt), I love it because of the variety in it.

    Porridge. It fills me up till I have my morning snack and gives me the energy I need to jump straight into my job in the am

    I have the same (slightly OCD) breakfast routine everyday that includes:

    2 Weetbix
    4 peach slices (2 for each Weetbix)
    1/2 cup skim milk
    1 small stone fruit or 1/2 banana or 1/2 mango
    1 Yakult light
    my vitamins & cod liver oil capsules (damn deficiencies.....grrr....)

    seriously delicious (only 'trouble' is that I meet my suggested daily fibre intake in this one meal...)

    I go for Ezekiel (80 cal) bread and a fried Egg in light EVOO (90 cal), over easy. The bread is a complete protein and keeps me full till lunch time!

    Bacon, eggs, grits, toast. Keeps me full longer than anything else, and is usually about 420 calories. Then a small piece of fruit mid-morning, a small lunch and the rest of my calories for dinner
