  What do you normally have for breakfast, apart from coffee/tea/juice/water and if you don't skip it?
  
  I don't have much time on weekday mornings, so I normally have cereal/muesli bars or cookies. Once in a while I buy some cake and I eat it in the morning.
  
  I've already outgrown kiddy cereals overloaded with sugar but I realise my habits aren't that healthy. The only times I ever had fresh breakfast were BMT (even then there was processed stuff like ham and sausages) and when I had bananas.
  
  It'd be nice to know a way of making a hearty breakfast quickly without resorting to Nutella & bread or cream cheese & crackers.

  Cereal/muesli bars = sugar and trans fat alert!
  
  Here are a few suggestions for a simple, easy-to-make, healthy and quite hearty breakfast. The keyword is healthy here:
  
  a) Mediterranean tomato salad on bread - slices of very ripe tomatoes (unchilled for better taste), a drizzle of olive oil, mozzerella or feta cheese, a couple of torn fresh basil leaves (if available) and ground black pepper.
  
  b) Cheese and tomato sandwich, can be grilled if preferred, lettuce/cucumber can be added too. Choose lower fat cheese if possible.
  
  c) Peanut butter sandwich - choose peanut butter made without trans fat, or better still, get organic ones coz the fragrance is heavenly (Sorry, this means non-skippy, or mr peanut, etc. brands)
  
  c) Sandwich with canned fish e.g. TC Boy brand of tuna with ginger/garlic/in Italian sauce. They are a bit salty so skip the gravy. Add tomatoes, cucumbers for crunch and fibre.
  
  d) Fresh fruit, yoghurt + toast
  
  e) Oatmeal with raisins, prunes, dried fruit, a few mixed nuts
  
  Happy eating.

  1. Plain Porridge with Steamed Egg and Fried Vege. SOmetimes leftovers la.. but the porridge cook in the morning.
  
  2. Cereal with bananas and milk
  
  3. Sandwiches
  
  4. Wraps
  
  5. Steamed Yam Cake (Can buy from NTUC)
  
  6. Steamed Chee Cheong Fun
  
  7. Rice. With leftovers
  
  8. Fried Tau Gua
  
  9. Omelettes
  
  10. Muffins/Cakes if I got mood to make during weekend
  
  Most don't take longer than 15 mins to prepare ba. The porridge can just use leftover rice to cook in boiling water.

  Wanda actually makes those for breakfast.
  
  I'm a super non-morning person (you really don't want to know me in the morning ) so breakfast is always prepared by Chris.
  
  If he is late for work, I go without breakfast
  
  Usually he prepares toasted sandwich with ham (depends on the kind of deli meat we have at home) and cheese with tomatoes or lettuce.
  
  Or it is prata wraps.
  
  Sometimes it's soft boiled eggs
  
  Actually it depends on what we have in the fridge.

  Quite easy mah, cutting tomatoes and cheese only takes 5 mins, or sometimes the SO does it. The best thing is these breakfasts aren't over-loaded with carbo, so it leaves me some leeway to eat the noodles and rice for lunch and dinner (ya, too much carbo is a problem for me ).
  
  At one stage, I was eating weetabix (aka unpalatable processed hay ) with unsweetened soya milk for breakfast, and some folks thot that only the Aussies eat that hay thing. So I'm not recommending it.

  Eeewww you mean you can eat weetabix Aussies like funky tasting food like marmite (ewwww to me too )
  
  I tend to load up on carbo for lunch (maybe that's why I'm always sleepy) but I hardly take any carbo for dinner
