    Every couple of weeks I make up a batch of "freezer burritos" for breakfast. You need:

    10 Wraps (Tumaro's brand are good - low cal/high fiber)
    12 Eggs
    1 Cup of shredded cheese
    Jar of salsa
    (You can also include bacon or sausage, if you want)

    I scramble all the eggs together (mix in the cooked bacon or sausage at this point) and portion out into the wraps, add cheese and salsa, and roll. Line them up on a cookie sheet, stick them in the freezer until hard. At that point, pull them out, wrap each one in a paper towel, and then toss them into quart sized bags and back into the freezer.

    They don't need to be thawed, just (still in the paper towel) toss in the microwave for 2-3 minutes and go. Depending on what I put in them, they usually end up between 200 and 300 calories, high protein, high fiber, yummy!

    My favorites are a cup of vanilla yogurt with sliced strawberries and bananas, 2 slices of whole wheat toast topped with 1/2 tbsp peanut butter on each and a sliced banana, oatmeal, and the jimmy dean light breakfast sandwiches.

    I can't stand to be rushed in the morning, so I get up an hour and 15 minutes before I need to leave the house. That gives me time to shower and dry my hair, read my newspaper while drinking my coffee, feed the dogs and give them their meds, put on my makeup and change my clothes. It also gives me time to make my smoothie and peel my hard boiled eggs that I take every morning for breakfast. I gotta have my breakfast or I would be a very unhappy person, as would anyone who would have to be around me. Oh, and I pack my gym bag before I leave, too.

    Usually greek yogurt... mostly because when I was in school, I could grab it, run out the door and eat it it during class without being too loud or having much smell! If I'm feeling extra hungry one day, I'll grab a piece of fruit too. Now that it's summer time, I'll probably be looking into some other stuff as well :)

    Emerald makes "Breakfast On the Go" in Maple and Brown sugar. It has a mixture of oat clusters and nuts and has only 190 calories in one pack. I usually eat that especially when I'm in a rush and a fruit.

    Add me as a friend and look through my diary! Except today. I had to run out the door WAY quicker than normal and I just grabbed a granola bar which was NOT enough!! Usually my breakfasts are between 250-400 calories!

    Oatmeal= 1/3 c. quick cooking oats + 2/3 c. water in the microwave 1 minute. Add 1/4 c. unsweetened soy milk = 120 cals. Add some fruit if you want and have time. It's quick, filling, low cal.

    When I was working, I had a protein shake almost every single morning. I like breakfast foods but I'm never very hungry in the mornings so I usually have something small and quick. I like:

    Toast with PB and jam
    Half a whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon
    Breakfast burritos (which I make on Sunday and then freeze) with egg, salsa, cheese and spinach/beans
    Pre-made and frozen French toast which I heat up in the toaster, spread PB and jam on top and make into a sandwich
    Oats with protein powder (takes 5 minutes to make, can let it cool while you shower and eat when you're done)
    Boiled eggs and some fruit
    Greek yogurt and fruit + a little honey if you want
    Overnight oats are great because you make them the night before

    I always sleep in, but I got a magic bullet a few months ago, and now I always just throw in a single yogurt with any type of frozen fruit blend, that and coffee and I'm a roll all morning, not to mention it keeps you fairly regular.

    If you don't have time to prepare anything, one thing I like to do is get those liquid breakfasts: http://www.carnationbreakfastessentials.com/Products/Powder/Variety-Pack/Description.aspx

    I started drinking these in the morning, because I usually don't have an appetite. Plus, they're a quick solution if you're in a rush. Just add skim milk and mix. :)

    Otherwise, I do a good cereal with berries and milk. :) Lately I've been able to eat breakfast in the morning. Maybe I"m changing.
