      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.

      For me it depends on the day.... anywhere between 100 and 800.

      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!

      Nothing! First meal is at noon -- around 5 hours after I wake up.

      Much rather save my calories for the evening.

      Oatmeal with milk when I get up, an orange with it if I'm not running right away. A Luna bar after running. A banana and a peanut butter sandwich an hour or so later. Then bring on lunch! : )

      But for me... noon (and therefore my first meal) is 7 hours after I wake up.

      Either a fruit smoothie with banana, skim milk, protein powder and some other fresh or frozen fruit; a bowl of oatmeal sometimes with fruit and honey added or cranberries and almonds; or recently started making 2 eggs. Today I had eggs with avocado. Mmm!

      my breakfast is usually one of my top 2 meals of the day calorie wise. i usually take in about 500 - 600 calories. sometimes 700. toss up between breakfast and lunch being #1 in calories. dinner i usually try to trail off with calories, and if at all possible keep it low carb.

      I've been having 2 eggs, grits, 4 slices of turkey bacon and a slice of sprouted grain bread with cream cheese and jelly for about 450 calories.

      I am a WW member, so I don't actually go by calories. Weight Watchers goes by fat, fiber, carbs, and protein. I eat Fiber One cereal with skim milk every morning for breakfast and a banana. I always eat a light healthy snack mid morning and again mid afternoon. That way you won't be starving by dinner time.
