breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially if you're trying to lose weight. Studies have shown that those who skip breakfast end up eating more calories throughout the day.
Oatmeal is packed with complex carbohydrates. Complex carbs will keep you full, energized and healthy. Pick the traditional style oatmeal since it has less sugar than the flavored kinds. You can top it with cinnamon, honey and your favorite fruit.
Step2
Cereal has always been a good breakfast option. With so many flavors and brands to choose from, there's something for everyone. Be sure to check the sugar content since some have a lot of it. Too much sugar will give you a lot of energy real quick but will also leave you tired once the sugar rush wears off.
Step3
Fruit is a good addition to any breakfast. Most fruits are low in calories but high in fiber which will keep you full, meaning you'll eat less.
Step4
Eggs are high in good quality protein and low in calories. You can further eliminate calories by only eating the egg whites. There are also egg substitutes that are cholesterol free.
Step5
Yogurt is high in calcium, protein and promotes good gastrointestinal health with the use of live cultures. Like cereal, some yogurts are loaded with sugar so be mindful of the nutrition facts.

I try to eat breakfast, but I prefer sleeping longer instead :) Luckily we have snacks at work so I grab a yogurt and a Special K bar and I'm good until lunch. I'm usually not that hungry in the mornings either.
