    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.

    Chobani plain ff yogurt; 1/4 C blueberries; 1 tsp flax meal; pkg of stevia; dollop of whip cream

    Tacos, 2 small corn tortillas; filling of 1 slice canadian bacon, juilienned; 1/2 C egg beaters; 1 TBS Parm cheese; 1 C fresh spinach sauted with 1/2 C bell pepper & onion frozen mix; homemade taco seasoning. I mix it all together and add to the warmed tortillas. Sometimes I make a batch and freeze. Re heat frozen in mw for 1 or 2 mins.

    Spinach and fresh tuna 2 egg omlet with special sauce (low cal and I will send anyone the recipe)

    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.

    If I have time, Kashi Cinnamon Harvest cereal with some fruit in it. If I don't have time - toast with peanut butter and a piece of fruit or Chobani yogurt with almonds mixed in. Today, however, I was craving hash browns, so I went to Dunkin and had hashbrowns and iced coffee (still under 400 cals and I was actually not hungry again until lunch time!)

    If you don't have time to make breakfast, then make hard boiled eggs en masse and grab those and a piece of fruit or cheese and fruit. If you can make it the night before than overnight oats are awesome. I generally make mine fresh every morning, but put this in a bowl, refrigerate and eat in the morning.

    1/3 cup rolled oats
    1/3 or 1/2 cup milk [depending on how thick you like it]
    1/3 cup plain yogurt
    1/2 banana
    dash of cinnamon

    In the morning top with anything you want such as some additional fruit, granola, etc... The possibilities are endless, but I always put a tablespoon of natural peanut butter. It really makes the oatmeal stick with you so that you don't have any cravings until lunch.

    I've been living off this smoothie all week:

    - 1 1/2 to 2 cups frozen strawberries
    - 1/4 cup frozen blueberries
    - 4 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
    - 3 sprigs worth of fresh mint leaves
    - 1-2 cups of spinach
    - Enough Odwalla Strawberry C Monster to get the blender going.

    It ends up between 290 and 400 calories, depending on how much of the juice is used. I usually make them on the lighter side and have a piece of wheat toast as well.

    I'm also a fan of egg muffins:
    http://www.kalynskitchen.com/2006/10/egg-muffins-revisited-again.html

    If you fill them with veggies instead of cheese they're pretty low cal, and very quick and easy. You can make them once a week or once every few days, put them in baggies, and then microwave as needed.

    Usually Thomas Light Whole Grain English Muffin (100 calories w/lots of fiber) with 1 tablespoon of Polaner All Fruit w/fiber addded (approximately 30 calories) plus fiber, with one of the following: 1 tablespoon of Kettle Brand Almond Butter (90 calories) or 1 tablespoon of Original Cream Cheese (50 calories) or 2 pats of butter (72 calories), and a glass of skim milk (80 calories) or low sodium V8 (50 calories), and coffee or tea w/no sugar or cream. Takes about 3 to 5 minutes. Approximate calorie = 275 to 300.
    I eat this about 5 days per week.

    Greek Yogurt (120-200 calories depending on fat content and sweetener used) with a piece or serving of fruit (60-100 calories) = 180 to 300. I actually like the plain greek yogurt w/4 oz Dole tropical fruit cup w/2 teaspoons of honey. Very good and filing.

    1 large fried egg (70 calories), 2 pats of butter (72 calories) on a Light English Muffin (100 calories) w/Low Sodium V8 (50 calories) plus coffee or tea without cream or sugar = around 300 calories.

    Luna Nutrition Bar (around 170 calories) w/1 glass of skim milk (80 calories) = 250 calories. (One of my favorite snacks, has worked for breakfast in a pinch. Luna Bars are fantastic and made by Clif.

    2- Kashi 7 Grain Waffles (150 calories and tons of fiber) with Sugar-free IHOP syrup (15 cal for 1/4 cup).

    If I'm still hungry I like eating some dry cereal with a few almonds as well or an apple!
