Breakfast is my largest meal of the day and always includes both protein and carbs. If I don't eat right in the morning, I'm doomed for the rest of the day.
My brekkie plan is basically this:
Eggs and homemade sausage (seasoned ground turkey) OR Egg Bake (eggs, ham or sausage, veggies, cheese)
and
Cottage cheese and pineapple OR a protein shake (milk, protein powder, fruit or light chocolate soy milk and protein powder)
and
Steel cut oats (with just a bit of dried fruit & nuts, never sweetened) OR 1 slice Food for Life sprouted grain bread (plain or cinnamon) OR 1/2 Food for Life sprouted grain English muffin with a smidge of natural peanut butter
It's about 550-600 calories and I guess it might seem like a lot BUT dinner is grilled fish or chicken and a steamed veggie like broccoli which is about 350 calories. I need energy in the morning to get through the day, not at night for sleeping!
