I just made some Steel-cut oatmeal this afternoon since it takes 1/2 hr to cook, and its in the fridge, to be reheated in the micowave.
Whole grain toast. Get the toaster out tonight. An egg could be cooking while you dress. Get the skillet out tonight. Put a plate and fork nearby.
Fruit.........clean it and cut it up tonight, cover with saran wrap.
Put the water in the coffee pot and measure out the coffee, so all you have to do is turn it on. Put a mug beside the coffeepot.

1/2 c cottage cheese
1 green apple, skin intact, choped into 3/4" chunks
1 pkt splenda
Spinkle of cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla
Cook the apple and cinnamon (i put in microwave, on high for 1 min, stir, keep doing until soft). Let cool for a few mins (meanwhile, meaure out any additional toppings for tomorrow, like wheatbran or wheat germ or granola) Mix in the cottage cheese, sweetener, and vanilla. Put in fridge. Amazing breakfast awaits you in the morning. its under 200 cals, depending on what brand you use.
You can make 3/4 as much and put in a small tortilla/spread on toast, for a bit more cals.
Also try sugar free mayple syrup.
Great protein kick.

I found some amazing toaster waffles at Whole Foods Market. They are the store brand, flaxseed. Very filling! And half the price of Kashi frozen waffles.
I like one with a tablespoon of peanut butter for a fast breakfast
protein shake. (it doesnt take long to make and you can take it with you!)
Luna bar
cereal (I eat fiber all)
1 piece of toast with PB and sometimes half a banana

Amy's Breakfast Burrito made with Tofu is really, really good... I was flabergasted that it actually tasted good and only 180 cal! Try it out... Works well "on the go" as well...
I love Amy's Breakfast Burritos, they are so delish.
I like ezekial bread (80 cals a slice) 2 slices toasted
topped with light cream cheese (60 cals for 2 tbsp)
Its delicious and feels like i'm spoiling myself.

I love peanut butter but found "Cashew Butter" to be fantastic with fewer calories, 160 for 2 Tbsp. I use one Tbsp (80 cal.) and spread on toasted english muffin (140) or when I know I will have a larger lunch or dinner, I eat one/half of muffin with less "butter".
Try a smoothie. Cut up a small banana the night before and freeze in a baggie. In blender put 1/4 cup each of fat free plain yogurt and skim milk. Add the banana and a handful of berries (I usually use raspberries). I also add a calorie free sweetener and a tbsp of ground flaxseed (for the fibre), a couple of ice cubes and blend for a couple of minutes. Again, something you can take along with you in the car/on transit.
Ooo man i love breakfast!
I mix one thing of vanilla dannon light and fit (60 cal) with one serving of fiber one (60), add a fruit and there you go! low cal and really yummy

This is my favorite quick breakfast recipe, it is especially good for hot days. I just tote it to work and eat it there. I suppose you could put it in some sort of totable bowl/mug and eat it in the car/bus..
The night before, put the following in a bowl and cover and refridgerate overnight:
1/2 cup of UNCOOKED Old Fashioned Oatmeal
3/4 cup of applesauce (or low fat yoghurt)
1/2 cup fruit (strawberries or whatever is low in calories)
1/2 cup skim milk, soy milk or rice milk
I know it sounds weird but in the morning it is smooth and mushy and tastes great! Saves me from cooking or preparing anything in the a.m. Plus it is filling. After a few weeks of eating this I found I could omit the 1/2 cup liquid and add a bit more yoghurt and it was lower in calories and just as good..You could add a few almonds, in the morning, if you like crunchy

Veggie burgers are quick and healthy.
Hard boiled eggs (if you are not watching cholesterol) are lo cal and a great protein source. I put a little hot sauce on mine - delish! I also do protein shakes the night before in the blender, then put them in a seal-able container, and give it a good shake the next morning before I drink it.
