Try a boiled egg on toast, followed by a medium size banana, and/or a small low fat yoghourt/fromage frais.

Following the "egg on toast" theme, don't forget good old scrambled egg. And on the weekend, as a reward for being so good during the week, make it extra special by mixing in some bits of smoked salmon.

Another vote for porridge here and I sprinkle a little cinnamon on mine as it adds flavour and a little sweetness without having to resort to sugar or syrup. Also cinnamon I believe is good for you too.

Not a porridge lover, so I am in the "egg camp" here.

My favourite for staying full all the way until lunchtime is one large egg, scrambled, on top of a toasted pitta bread (Asda value smart price ones are fine! ) - not sure why pitta bread fills me for longer than "normal" bread?!

A large bag (1.5kg 85p) of Sainsburys porridge oats is the best value you can buy (oddly enough cheaper than Tesco and Asda!)

Wholemeal toast and marmalade plus a piece of fruit fills me up best though.

Another vote for cold porridge. I have about half a bowl of oats (I just have value ones) cover with milk and leave for at least 10mins to soften.
I have them with a tbsp mixed dried fruit, about same of sunflower seeds and a chopped up banana on (could also have a grated apple). I find that if I don't have the banana on I'm hungry about 11am (have breakfast about 7.30), but with I can quite easily go to 1pm before I'm hungry and I do quite a physical job.

You could always make Twink's Hob Nobs and mix some of a crushed one into a plain yogurt.

However, that may be defeating the object as you will be making nice yummy biscuits that you may not be able to stop eating!

I find that the most filling breakfasts are high in protein. Much as I like porridge it doesn't keep me going until lunch, but a scrambled egg or baked beans do;)

Oat cakes and cheese
Beans and scrambled egg on rivita
cereal with lots of dried fruit and a banana
another vote for porridge but not in this heat...

I keep coming across this suggestion for a good filling breakfast - a slice or two of toast with peanut butter and slices of banana on top. I don't like peanut butter so no good for me but if you like it, this sounds very filling!

( I love porridge too!)
