Whoops, I calculated wrong, 39 g. Kashi Go Lean is 110, not 100. No need to round after all! 210 then. I also just bought the Thomas's bagel thins that are only 110 calories each. I made my room mate try one because I've already had breakfast, and she said they're excellent. Nice and chewy!
Today I had a large bowl of cheerios (200) and a blueberry fiber muffin (130). I top all that off with coffee and water and I'm set until a late lunch! Fiber is the key when you are counting calories because it helps to keep you feeling full for longer...a little more bang for your buck! Coffee is definitely one of my favorite diet tools too!
I have the same breakfast every morning, I just change the fruits. 1/2 c. of bran flakes w/ f.f milk and mixed berries, five servings of a variety of fruit. It's the biggest meal of the day for me and I look forward to it every morning. Never gets boring for me. 480 to 500 cal.
I know I *should* eat a higher protein breakfast. If I have regular cereal, breakfast, and if I eat too much, I'm *RAVENOUS* two hours later.
I have class at 8:00 am every morning, and leave at 6:15 am, so I'm always on the go!
I often have:
-Oatmeal and Liberte Yogurt, which has 7g protein per serving
-Fresh fruit mixtures
- hard boiled egg or ham on toast
-Raisin Bread with pureed cottage cheese spread on it. Yum!

I try to keep my breakfast between 350 and 400, as less sets me up for a binge at lunch.
I'm a cereal girl through and through.
I've tried eggs for breakfast (which isn't traditional here) and it didn't agree with me at all.
So now I stick to Nestle Fitness Honey and Almonds with skim milk which is around 200 cal. I usually have a piece of fruit a couple of hours later, though.
