    Quick workday breakfast: In a blender - 1 cup of unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk, 1T chia seeds, 1 scoop "Now Sports" oure whey protein (no flavorings, no additives), 1 or 2t granulated stevia. Then I'll add frozen strawberries, or frozen banana & 1T almond buttter - sometimes unsweetened cocoa for a "Chocolate Monkey", or 1/2 cup pumpkin puree w/cinnamon & nutmeg, or pineapple & berries. You get the idea! Add ice if needed. It keeps me full for hours. You can also add some plain greek yogurt and cut down on the liquid if you want the extra protein hit, or just like the tangy flavor it imparts.

    Fave weekend breakfast: sauteed onion, mini sweet peppers, garlic and chicken sausage. Add eggs to make a scramble. Top with a sprinkle of your favorite cheese (I like feta or parmesan) and fresh cracked pepper.

    Almond meal pancakes are also a great weekend treat - there are lots of good recipes on the web. I like to put either finely chopped or mashed fruit on them to replace the syrup. Full of protein, and gluten free!

    (As you may have noticed, I try to avoid starch - but my family loves a product called "Flat out Flat Bread" - I could see wrapping up the egg/sausage sautee in one of those for breakfast on the go. It would be delicious!)

    I mix up a protein shake with fruit and ground flaxseed in my blender. I like the shakes from Optimum Nutrition the best. Takes about 1 minute to make. Easy-peasy!

    Then I usually do my work out. After I exercise, then I eat my "real" breakfast....usually 1 or 2 eggs, fresh fruit, slice of whole wheat toast or a mini-bagel with peanut butter.

    I love to saute onions, peppers and sliced grape or cherry tomatoes and some turkey or leftover chicken breast. Add spinach and wait until wilted. Throw in a smidgeon of feta cheese (or whatever you like) and pack it all into a whole wheat pita pocket.

    I chop up tons of veggies....like I'd put in an omlette....zucchini, onions, peppers, spinach, broccoli whatever i've got and wahtever sounds good. I saute with a little turkey sausage or some lean ham. i make up a bunch early in the week, and portion out for the week. I eat it with toast and some low fat greek yogurt. Or I add an egg and zap it in the microwave for a few minutes. Fast, yummy and full of veggies.

    I don't have a usualy breakfast but protein really helps to fill me up. This morning I had a bowl of oatmeal (150 cals-I don't use the low fat type so you may be able to find something w/ less cals) and 3 egg whites (17 cals for each white) (I know you said you are sick of it but it's my go to breakfast as well!). Or I have an omlette with green peppers and maybe some ham cut up in it.. Always less than 200 cals for that and very filling! Sometimes a banana with peanut butter. Depends on my mood.. and every now and again I splurge on a donut with my girls.

    Good luck!

    I have the same thing for breakfast every weekday: 9 tbsp of Eggbeaters (just over 1/2 cup), 1 slice toast (homemade sourdough bread) with 1 tbsp strawberry jam (no butter), 1.5 cups of 1% milk.

    321 calories, 29 g protein. I eat breakfast at around 9:00, and it keeps me full until I eat lunch at around 1:00-1:30.

    I eat oatmeal 99% of the time, but I add different fruits to it to spice things up. Pumpkin, banana, apple, berries, peaches, soooo many things that are delicious and nutritious! :)

    I agree that any combo of protein and fiber is good, but why not eat a snack between breakfast and lunch?

    I have been hooked on a couple of different breakfast meals here recently that always carry me through til my mid-afternoon snack.

    2 Vitatops and one piece of fruit. (Low cal and totally filling because you get a super fiber kick)

    Bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and a piece of fruit (One egg fried in Olive oil spray, 2% american cheese slice, 1 tbsp of crumbled bacon on toasted light wheat bread)

    You can also do a breakfast burrito with scrambled eggs, cheese and bacon crumbles in an extreme fiber tortilla

    I eat 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal and 5 egg whites. I hardboil 5 eggs, then cut them in half, squeeze the yolks out, and just eat the whites. Protein without the calories :)

    Try dressing up your oatmeal! Add pumpkin, spices, raisins and almond butter. Or add cinnamon, apple, peanut butter and dried cranberries. Once in a while I make single serving vegan pancakes for breakfast and they're SO GOOD!
