thought?

You could go with a variety of things.

Typically, breakfast is supposed to be a well balanced meal; you want a combo of good carbs, proteins, and fats.

Maybe something like this:

2 whole eggs + 4 egg whites + Oats + EFA's

or

Cottage cheese + Oats + Natural Peanut Butter + EFA's

Personally I'm a big fan of the eggs. You could throw some lean ham in them too, and some veggies, have yourself an omelette.
