I can't survive without a good breakfast, either. I get up early (all those years of teaching). If I am going to work, with no riding in the morning, it's egg white omelets, with a variety of veggies and low fat cheese and fruit. Sometimes a piece of whole wheat toast, with it. I eat turkey bacon, as a side with just about any kind of breakfast, sometimes, too. Some days I have non fat plain yogurt with fruit, walnuts, and cranberries, with a small slice of whole wheat bread and soy nut butter. About twice a week, I have real eggs. Some days I eat things like tuna over a tomato, with melted cheese or left overs.
I try to eat low carb breakfasts twice a week. If I ride really early, like 6 AM, I'll eat a Luna bar or have a small bowl or cereal and then have a more protein oriented breakfast when I get back.
Generally, if I have a longer ride (40+ miles), I eat eggs, a whole wheat bagel and low fat cream cheese, and fruit. I will still be hungry when I start a ride if breakfast was more than an hour ago, and I often have to eat part of a bar before I begin.
On the weekends, I generally have waffles (homemade) at least one day, but I have to have some protein with them, or I am hungry in about a minute!
