I usually have 2 slices of 45 cal bread with a wedge of light laughing cow cheese and 2 oz ham

Or a whole grain 'everything' bagel with light laughing cow cheese and ham (usually the garlic and herb for both).

I recently found Zoom Hot Cereal in stores here, and I remember my great grandma making it for me all the time. It's whole wheat and has a slightly different texture than oatmeal. 1 serving is something like 140 cals but 5g fiber. I mix in 1 tablespoon brown sugar and 1 tablespoon maple syrup. Though next I'm going to try the stovetop directions (i usually microwave it 2 minutes) and add in 1/4 cup diced apple a little sugar and a little cinnamon. Breakfast is super hard for me to!

You can also put the oats in the amount of water called for the night before and then cook in the morning. They'll cook much faster.

Thanks for that tip! I'm going to try this ASAP.

Too bad we don't have Trader Joes. Steel cut oats in 8 minutes would be great.
