devise an alternative breakfast

This morning I had a soft-boiled egg for my breakfast. It was small and hot, full of healthy omega-3 fatty acids (I don’t know what happened to the cholesterol that used to be in eggs), and surprisingly delicious. I did not feel sleepy like I feel after my usual breakfast, but that could have been due to circumstances.

I’m trying to lose weight, so I need to be flexible in what I eat. My breakfast is enough to carry me through the usual day, but that also means if I eat some birthday cake or a lunch, I eat too much.

I could forego my breakfast, but experts recon it is not healthy, and in any case I like my morning routine and would prefer not to disrupt the start to my day.

If I had an alternative smaller breakfast that I could eat if I knew that I was going to have something during the day, that would still allow me a hot evening meal.

Something small, hot and easy to make.
