I absolutely love scrambled eggs, but when I did the nutritional value and saw that one egg is over 200mg of cholesterol, I just could not believe it. I find that is high, so sadly I have not had eggs since. Makes me shudder at the 2 or 3 eggs I used to make...

You can always try one whole egg scrambled with two egg whites
I stick with egg beaters egg whites, all of the cholesterol is in the yolk.
I just had a breakfast burrito with egg whites, shredded cheese, trader joe guac, salsa and butternut squash (yum) on a trader joe habanero lime tortilla.
Not sure what the calorie count is but it was 8PP.
I use water or almond milk (about 8 oz) then add 1 portion of fruit (usually 1/2 banana or 1 cup berries) and then add 2 scoops of plain whey protein and 1 heaping teaspoon of ground flaxseeds or chia seeds. Sometimes I also add a teaspoon of almond butter
I pour it all in one of those reusable cups they sell at Starbucks for Frappuccinos and the like, and get in the car. I sip it at red lights and sometimes while running errands
When I don't have to leave the house in a hurry I usually go for 1 whole egg mixed with 2-3 whites and stir in some veggies. My faves: chopped up rucola and cherry tomatoes, or fresh salsa (chopped tomatoes, chopped red onion, lime juice, cilantro) Yum
I don't like eating first thing in the morning and since I sleep as late as is possible I don't have enough time to eat breakfast before I get to work. I've been in the habit of making pancakes the night before. I use 1/2 cup buckwheat pancake mix, 2/3 cup egg whites, 1 scoop protein powder, some cinnamon, and whatever interesting thing I feel like adding. This gives me two meals and all I have to do is pop 'em in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them.
They're easy to make and thus far I haven't gotten tired of them. Made them with walnuts last week, bananas this week. They keep me full all morning and they aren't calorically devestating.
Other mornings I enjoy some greek yogurt with honey and almonds. Sometimes I'll just make a peanut butter (natural) sandwich on whole wheat bread. I've also been playing around with muffin recipes and I've found a pumpkin one I like but I'm still tweaking it. I want to look into making frittatas but haven't had time to experiment yet.
On the weekends I'll sometimes do an egg (made with an egg pan so no butter or spray or anything) with two slices of bacon, some chopped onion and green pepper, and cheddar on an english muffin with different spices.
I love porridge on weekdays! I see a significant difference in what I eat for the rest of the day. I have far fewer snacks I also try to add cinnamon to regulate blood sugar.
Weekends I treat myself to a toasted onion bagel and very light cream cheese.
Sounds like everyone is having a varied version of the same breakfast. I do a similar thing, make a breakfast "scramble". This is for 2 people, but I make a little bit of turkey bacon for my husband and for me I use a sprinkle of cubed fat free ham. I take 4 eggs and crack using only the egg whites (can't handle the idea of paying 4x as much for the egg beaters), a 1/4 a green pepper, 1/4 red pepper, diced onion (whatever kind I have in the house) and I scramble that. Sometimes I will put a little hashbrowns in, not much and sometimes I put a sprinkle of cheese.
I'm not an oatmeal fan, it's hard coming up with things that are under 200 calories that both my husband and I like.
On days when we're running late, I will just have cereal and he will take a breakfast bar. He likes the idea of being able to eat in the car as we both drive about a half hour each way to work, in different directions.
My favorite, quickie running out the door to work breakfast:
1/3 cup of egg beaters - mixed with veggies (bell pepper, mushrooms and tomatoes are a fave). Pop it in the microwave for 1 minute 15 seconds. Get the morningstar faux sausage patties - pop one in the microwave for a minute (I love them). I get a piece of the nature's own double fiber bread and use a little ICBINB and I am ready to go. Its a full breakfast and VERY low points on WW. Its my favorite.
