    Here's a breakfast that will fill you up, taste decent, and not kill you with fat and cholesterol.  It consists of scrambled eggs, toast, and coffee.

    First off, coffee is not bad for you.  Drinking several cups in the morning is not going to hurt most people.  As for the toast, use wheat bread (anything other than white bread).  Myself, I like oat bran bread.  And there's a raisin bread that's good.

    As for the scrambled eggs, you'll need the following:

    2 eggs
    1 carton of eggbeaters (substitute eggs)
    chopped onion
    chopped green chile
    chopped mushrooms
    chopped ham (low fat variety)

    Mix real eggs and eggbeaters in bowl, adding a little milk (not much). 
    Put chopped onions, chile, mushrooms, and ham in a skillet and saute them for a few minutes (not long).  Do this with low fat margarine or canola oil or olive oil (not much, perhaps a tablespoon).  Add the egg mixture and cook over medium heat.  You can stir the mixture around if you like, or you can cook it on one side and then turn it over.  Easily serves two people.

    Don't ruin the healthy attributes of this by cooking your scrambled eggs in butter or lard or lots of oil.  Use just enough in a teflon pan.  Eat your toast dry . . . no butter or jelly or anything like that.  No sugar or cream in your coffee, either.
