Personally, I vary the oatmeal (its called porridge this side of the pond) - adding raisins, seeds, nuts, honey, whey protein, blueberries, bananas, strawberries to it. For a change I have muesli or high fibre bran an a banana. Whatever you use, count the cals - but remember, breakfast like a royal, its an important meal.
health magazine just recently had "jump start" diet in it - one of their breakfast suggestions was a mock banana cream pie
non-fat vanilla yogurt
1 slice banana
2 organic graham crackers - crunched up
mix together
i also like the tortilla factory whole wheat wraps (50 calories and 8 grams of fiber)spread with peanut butter, cinnamon and a sliced apple or banana) all wrapped up.

theres also the ziplock freezer bag omelettes -
make sure you use the freezer bags - the other ones melt.
into the bag add 2 eggs or egg substitute, some cheese, salsa, some chopped veggies, some chopped ham or turkey (basically whatever you like in an omelette) -and mush around so it gets mixed
while your mushing - put a pot of water on to boil - whenboiling - seal the bag and put in the put of water (i will attach the bag to a wooden spoon with a clothespin and suspend it across the top so the bag dosn't drag on th bottom of the pot)
go take a shower - 13 minutes later - breakfast...

I have a bowl of a healthy cereal every morning. Or at least a cereal that I think is healthy!
Normally I have Vanilla Almond Special K or Chex.
It suits me well until lunch time. I'm glad to hear that so many others have cereal as well... I was wondering if it is a good start to the day!

I like to slam a decent amount of calories for breakfast.
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 large glass skim milk
bowl of oatmeal
fat free yogurt mixed with one big scoop whey protein to make a pudding. Energy for hours! I usually have to make myself eat my 9am meal.

You can also take your yogurt and banana and blend then for a quick breakfast shake if you don't have a lot of time for breakfast in the morning. I will do a large batch of this some mornings and then I know my kids are getting something healthy down them for the day! It tastes yummy too!

hmm...I have several varieties of oatmeal on hand so I can mix it up: Kashi Hearty Go Lean, Smooth Vanilla Go Lean, and Quaker low suger or weight watcher varieties...and then Kashi Go lean or Go Lean Crunch cereals. If I'm getting bored I add sliced strawberries, and as already mentioned, a small amount of nuts like almonds adds interest, crunch and fullness.
Also, I recommend the Dannon Light & Fit yogurt for in between breakfast and lunch; calcium, low calorie, carb & no fat.
On the weekends I love egg beater omelettes with tons of veggies like red pepper, mushroom, tomato and either lowfat or nonfat feta or Cabot 50% light shredded cheddar. This is a very filling breakfast!
One more thing; there's a local bread company here that makes a very hearty low carb bread with lots of fiber, seeds, etc, and it's thinly sliced but dense. this morning I had two slices toasted with a teaspoon or so of peanut butter on each slice. There's certainly fat in the peanut butter, but I don't seem to battle fatty foods nearly as much as carb-rich foods so I can allow for this, and really, a teaspoon of pb only has about 2.2g of fat, so if it fits in with your eating plan and you can find a good low carb bread, go for it! It tastes like a treat to me, and it's a nice change from oatmeal! (nutritional info for my breakfast this morning: 171 cal, 13g net carbs, 4g fiber, 13g protein, 4.66g fat)

Kashi's Heart to Heart cereal is really good. I know cereal probably isn't what you were looking for, but I have tried healthy cereals before and they just didn't work for me. This one has a lot of heart benefits and cute little heart shapes.
