    300 if I don't have a green tea latte, 400 if I do. Mostly protein (and some fiber).

    Usually greek yogurt, peanut butter and chia seeds.

    At least 3 fried eggs, 2 cups of milk, 1 bowl of high fiber cereal and maybe 2 or 3 oatmeal cookies.

    So I usually run about 700-1000 calories every breakfast.

    I'm notoriously bad at eating breakfast... I often feel sick/not hungry at all most mornings.
    The most I usually manage is an apple or some natural yoghurt and grapes.

    I used to just have a small breakfast, but that was leaving me with too many calories to eat junk later in the day. I aim for 300-400 now.

    Same as most people here. 300-400 calories. I'm thinking about eating more for breakfast though, since it tends to help me feel fuller for the rest of the day.

    Depends on how hungry I am.
    Some days nothing, because I'm not hungry.
    Some days a lot, especially during TOM, or after a very busy day when I couldn't eat all my exercise calories (especially hiking days).

    I try and eat 300-350 calories for breakfast every day. You burn that off easily if you move around a bit-walk to work etc. Your brain will love you for it and it kicks off your metabolism.
    Try whole grain organic ceareal
    Greek yogurt with better' n peanut butter from Trader Joes
    Organic waffles topped with vanilla yogurt and your favorite berries

    Just a few suggestions. Good luck!
