Oh ya... let this be the breakfast thread I wanted to post and rant on recently!

But first to nicely address your question ;)

fresh fruit.. even if it isn't on the menu I ask for it anyway
oatmeal.. (Cracker Barrel's oatmeal is really good.. but most places it is just instant and you can tell so ask before you order)
yogurt
tea

A fresh omelet (sp?) with vegetables, mushrooms, herbs and maybe even salsa

I’ll save my rant for the moment. Cause I might just go off!

Depends where you go, last time I went out for breakfast, the place I went to had the following which I chose:

Eggbeaters with bell peppers and onions
Turkey Bacon
Hash Browns (ate half)
Biscuit (ate half)


Eggs are good for you so you could choose a simple egg omelet at most places or if they offer egg whites, even better.

Cottage cheese may also be an option.

I vote for the oatmeal and fresh fruit. :) Eggs are good if it's place where they actually crack and egg and cook it, as opposed to just having a pitcher of stuff they pour on the grill - shudder. I love those fancy breakfast buffets where the guy will make the omelet in front of you.

Some places will fix egg white omelettes loaded with veggies. You could also get poached eggs and dry whole grain toast.

The veggie omelet idea is a great one= just make sure they dont use a million eggs= IHOP's omelets are big enough for like 3 people. I usually get an egg, dry english muffin and I cant pass up 2 strips of bacon= it's my weakness.
