... that are filling and easy to prepare? I love Kashi cereal with skim milk and berries, actually eat it every morning. But sometimes would like an alternative. What do you eat for breakfast?

I used to love making eggwhite lazy-scramble. I'd buy the carton kind. I pre-slice a lot of veggies after I go grocery shopping, so I would toss em in with some low fat cheese to. I imagine these could also be made the night before, too.
I currently usually eat microwave oatmeal with yogurt on top.

egg whites and turkey bacon
pumpkin waffles
Egg, ham, and laughing cow on a multigrain english muffin
All Bran, milk, and blueberries
Plain yogurt and berries
Smoothie
I have to have variety to stay on plan. (One of the reason that Dr. Oz's diet wouldn't work for me.)

I had a 308 calorie breakfast that really filled me up this morning. I had 8 oz of 2% Fage yogurt, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/4 cup gluten free granola, and 1 T agave nectar with a sprinkling of cinnamon. It was dreamy.
I only eat it once in a while because the yogurt is so expensive, but it's a great treat. I normally eat scrambled eggs with salsa on top. I don't care for eggs, but they are masked well with the salsa. Sometimes with whole wheat toast. Usually just by themselves.
I also like steel cut oats with a little brown sugar.

yogurt, berries and bran flakes is my new favorite.

One of my favorite breakfasts during the week is an english muffin cut in half toasted in the toaster, spread a tsp of butter on each half, mix 3/4 tsp splenda and 1/4 tsp cinnamon in your hand, sprinkle on top, spray with 5 sprays of fat free butter spray on each half, and the microwave for 20 seconds. I add a piece of fruit or drink a glass of low sodium V8 juice.
Some others include 2 pieces of turkey bacon, 2 egg beaters and toast, or cereal, milk & fruit. I've been wanting try a toasted english muffin with a little peanut butter and topped with sliced bananas..

I like to make an egg casserole. Just chop up a lot of veggies, add in mostly egg whites and a few whole eggs and top with some low fat cheese. Bake for 25 minutes. Slice it up and put in individual baggies and take to work everyday.

Here are things I eat that have not been said.
For the last week I have been on a peanut butter sandwich with a teaspoon of honey on top of it and I eat it with a banana. I use 45cal bread So its about 310 calories.
You could also try baking an apple or peach with a touch of brownsugar mixed with splenda and cinnamon and a touch of nutmeg, and about 1/4 cup of quick cook oatmeal. Bake it then in the morning eat it on top of yogurt.
Breakfast pizza- light english muffin topped with scrambled egg, ham and then cheese bake in toaster oven untl hot and bubbly. You could also use a pita for this. Another topping could be bacon, tomato, and cheese.
Think outside the box! you dont have to eat breakfast food for breakfast. You could have half a turkey sandwich with an apple if you want to!

I microwave a serving of "Oatbran" (Kind of like whole wheat cream of wheat), and then I add pecans(Or any kind of nut) and honey to it. So yummy and fills me up.

Egg Beaters!! I like making omelets with (pre-measured, of course) cheese.
You can buy them already measured out in servings of the equivilant of 2 eggs.
I usually have that and 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and some berries or laughing cow cheese. It's nice to have something hot, though...it feels like you're having more of a meal.

I often have a 1/2 cup of plain non-fat yogurt with 1/2 cup fiber one mixed in. It takes a bit to get used to the non-sweetness of it, but then it's okay. If I want a little more, I'll add 2 strips of morningstar "bacon". I'm not a vegetarian, but they're good!
Or I'll have oatmeal with skim milk and a spicy chicken sausage (Amylu, from whole foods). The combo of carbs plus protein plus fat keeps me going for a long time.

I love Quaker's Weight Control Instant Oatmeal. It's 150 calories for a packet. I make mine with water and then add 1/4 cup of skim milk to it. I can't believe how much it fills me up.
- scramble egg whites, mushrooms, spinach and add hot pepper flakes and then roll it up in a small whole grain tortilla.
- hard boiled egg on a plain rice cake with a slice of low-fat cheese. Some fruit on the side.
-
I like eggs or plain old fashioned oats
-
Oatmeal with either brown sugar or honey and a few raisins.
Peanut butter on 2pcs of light whlwht bread (40cals each) and a yogurt
This week so far has been turkey hotdog, egg and 1/2slice cheese on whlwht eng muffin, with a activia.
Tomorrow will be a FF turkey and cheese sandwich. I just got the kraft lowfat mayo with olive oil. It's really good.
And as a practice if I feel I need more I add a yogurt (6oz) or fruit.

I don't wake up in time for breakfast. >_> I usually eat 'brunch' for breakfast. XD
If I feel like eating breakfast food as a meal, though, it's usually oatmeal with splenda and cinnamon. It's filling and it tastes good.
