I eat about 350-400 calories.

Two favorites - oatmeal, 2 slices turkey bacon, 1 hard boiled egg, soy milk.

# 2 - Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup fruit mixed in, soy milk, Wasa crispbread with peanut butter on top.

I generally alternate them day by day.

Both get me through the morning, and they have to do a lot, as I exercise in the AM. I usually eat lunch around 11 AM, so I do not have a morning snack.

If for some reason I do not exercise, I add a snack in mid-morning, usually a protein, but depends on how I am feeling - for about 100 calories.

I count carbs for my diabetes situation, so that influences my choices.

Someone mentioned almond milk. I love it. Low cal., low carb, tastes just great.

My most common breakfasts are:
- instant oatmeal w/skim milk: 245 cals
- oat bran w/raisins, brown sugar, and skim milk: 265
- raisin bran w/skim milk: 265
- oat bran cold cereal w/skim milk: 265

So I guess I usually eat 265! :lol: I eat a banana at around 10:30 in the morning to tide me over until lunch though, and sometimes I add other fruits to my cereal.

Ok, I tried the Almond milk & I love it! It slightly changes the taste of my cereal in very good way!

I encourage anyone who hasn't tried it to give it a whirl...it's yummy!

Today's breakfast came in at just under 400, and I suspect my two "alternates" are about the same. On Mondays I have no time for a snack because I'm in a management meeting from 10 to 12 (in theory, often 12:30) so if I get anything, it's a ff latte. :) I need those other calories to get me through.

I pretty much eat the same thing for breakfast/pre breakfast each day I eat part of this before my morning walking/aerobic video and then the rest after my video.

2 egg whites
Buckwheat pancake ( 1/4 cup mix ) or two slices toast ( Schwebel's light wheat ) with spray butter
4 oz orange juice

I don't really eat a breakfast per se... I eat a lot of mini meals in the morning since I'm super hungry when I wake up and I hope that the first meal will fill me. By about 10 AM I have about 800 calories of breakfast items under my belt. I eat things like oatmeal and peanut butter, cottage cheese, alternative bagels, cereal & milk, eggs, smoothies... But then the rest of the day usually slows down a lot since I don't get that hungry.

I eat 5 times a day. Breakfast is my biggest feeding so it is 375 - 425 calories.

You referred to breakfast as a "feeding". :lol: That's funny!

Mine is about 430 calories right now. I have a bowl of thick (could turn the bowl upside-down) cream of wheat made with milk. I love the stuff.

I don't eat snacks, so I get my calories from 3 meals a day. Breakfast has to hold me from 6:30am to 12:30pm.

150kcals max, 1/4 cut porriage oats, low fat milk, cinnamon, low kcal sweetener and raisins. o and sometimes protein powder mixed in.

right around 400

1/2 cup oats with tsp honey
egg beater omelet with 2% cheese and as many veggies as I feel like chopping that morning and as much salsa as I want
a couple oz of light soy milk in my coffee.

Mine are usually in the 200-400 range; I switch off between carb-based (cereals, oatmeals) and protein-based (eggy, dairy, occasional P.B.) breakfasts depending on what my morning exercise is.

200 calories on weekdays (1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup Trader Joe's High Fiber Cereal, and 2 oz of berries).

300 calories on weekends (3 slices bacon, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 low-fat muffin with non-fat cream cheese).

I'm a creature of habit, especially when it comes to breakfast.

300 ish.
Either a 2 egg, spinach, feta omelet
or
oatmeal,raisin,flax and sugar/honey
