For breakfast I usually have porriage or a poached egg on toast, but it's getting a bit boring. I have 2 young children so it needs to be quick and easy, or able to be prepared in advance. Thanks :)

    80 cal yogurt, anu flavor light 1/4 cup granola and or light grahm crackers, and frozen mixed fruit, they usually end up being around 200 cals and are easy quick, and the kids love them!

    Sliced tomato on toast with some balsamic vinegar and some chopped basil leaves if you have them (I grow some in a pot)
    Smoked salmon on toast (maybe spread some horseradish on the toast like you would butter)
    Boiled eggs with a heaped spoon of onion & chive cottage cheese to add some flavour
    Natural museli with yoghurt and berries

    One of my faves is a scrambled egg and cheese burrito. Plus some kind of fruit.

    Medium Over-Easy Egg on Whole-Wheat slice of toast.
    Add in garlic salt and crushed red peppers to the egg while it is still runny on the pan for a more biting flavor.

    Has the protein, carbs, and fiber to help start your day and is filling beyond belief! Only 200 calories? Why, yes!

    Egg Beaters!! Love the southwest style Put it on an english muffin or tortilla with some salsa. Add some cheese if you'd like.

    Lately, since I don't have time in the morning during the weekdays, I've been having Sara Lee's 90 calorie english muffin and toast it really good with a wedge of Laughing Cow Vegetable and it's soo good!

    This morning I sautéed some mushrooms and spinach and then added egg beaters and cheese. Made a nice big batch, split into 4 portions, ate one and put the other 3 in the fridge so I can just quickly microwave for the next few days. :-)

    Omeletts!
    Try a pizza omelet.
    2 eggs scrambled, 1/4 ragu pizza sauce, 1/4 mozzarella cheese. Soooo good and tasts like a cheat.
    275 calories + maybe a fruit like an orange, and still under 400 calories.

    Cheese omelet.

    I love protein for breakfast, gets me off on the right foot :-)
