Over medium-high heat, scramble eggbeaters and 2-3 spoons of cream of spinach (I leave a defrosted package of cream of spinach in my 'fridge and spoon out what I need each day). When eggs are cooked, put onto a plate and top with shredded mozzarella cheese or shredded italian cheese (Kraft & Sargento have yummy shredded Italian cheese mix in a bag). The whole thing takes about 3 minutes to make and it's YUMMY and healthy!

You don't want to go *too* low calorie in the morning. I read an article that said women who ate full breakfasts were more likely to eat less overall calories during the day. So just make sure it's more than a handful of popcorn or something.
I am a big fan of breakfast burritos. Egg beaters, a slice of nonfat kraft cheddar cheese, a little bit of salsa, and if have them, some chopped green peppers. Cook the egg beaters with the peppers, melt cheese on top, wrap it with a LaTortilla low Carb wrap with a little salsa, and I am good to go.
Breakfast has always been a pain for me. I don't have time in the morning to cook, so I always try to have something quick and healthy. I usually have low sugar oatmeal (which I find filling), or some fat-free yogurt topped with low fat granola and some almonds. On the weekends I'll treat myself to an egg with a piece of whole wheat toast. That's about it!

I always have porridge cooked with just water with chopped fruit ( you don't need to add sugar or milk then) I always have diced prunes and then add something else, usually bananas, plums, raisins, or strawberries ( whatever I have found reduced!).
In the past I used to have low fat yoghurt mixed with chopped banana pears or strawberries and a sprinkling of pumpkin and seseame seeds.
Yummy.
The porridge will keep you full and feeling well for hours.
This is one of my favorites. I can be set for several days worth of breakfasts with this. Easy, quick and tasty... I also add 6-8 drops of hot sauce in the mixture for just a little bit of a kick...
Veggie Quiche Cups from the South Beach Diet
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup liquid egg substitute or 3 large eggs or 3 /4 cup egg whites
1 package frozen chopped spinach (10 oz.)
3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat cheese (I never used reduced fat cheese, can't ever find it)
1/4 cup diced red or green peppers or mixture of both (I also don't use these either)
1/4 cup diced onions
Salt to taste
2. Line 12 cup muffin pan with foil baking cups, spray the cups with the cooking spray.
3. Thaw and drain spinach - I wring it out well in my hand, which eliminates a lot of the "spinachy" taste for those who hate boiled spinach.
4. Mix the spinach, egg substitute, cheese, peppers, onions, hot pepper sauce, salt in a bowl.
5. Fill the foil cups with the mixture.
6. Bake at 350F or 20 minutes, testing so that a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.
7. Remove from cups to serve.

That sounds awesome. I have everything to make it (except the muffin cups, but those are easy enough to find). When it cools down here (my kitchen gets SO hot even with the oven on for only a few minutes), I am definetly going to try this!

You actually don't even need the muffin cups... You can just give a quick rub down with some butter to the sides or use Pam. I ♥ them. Even my hubby likes them.

I have a bowl of All Bran and 1% milk (sorry cannot do fat free) and sliced banana. Or a all fresh fruit smoothie with lowfat vanilla yogurt, ice, and juice.
