I don't know what particular diet you're on, but I always love to brain storm, & I am wide awake:

Breakfast Idea's for a young man!! or anyone really.

Perogies, I would boil them & than fry them till they're crispy, but you could just boil them. Hash Browns, with bacon bits, or shredded hash browns. Steam veggies.

Steel Cut Oats, over night bring to a boil about 1 cup, & than turn off heat & let simmer throughout the night, covered. In the morning you can preheat the oats in the microwave if you wish. Add some milk, or unsweetened almond milk. When I was still on SAD I would sometimes add, cut up dried apricots, or banana's with yogurt, with frozen pomegranate seeds. (I would buy fresh poms, & seed them in a large bowl of water) & than freeze them. One Christmas I used Eggnog with the oats, sometimes mix in PB or canned spiced pumpkin.

Check out bodybuilding.com in their forums, Nutrition Section & look for MEN (Meals Eating Now) great idea's!!

Another yummy breakfast:

Omelet: quick & easy, or had boiled eggs, or egg whites, but keep the egg yolks for a salad.

With your omelet, smoked salmon, cheese, salsa, chicken, green peppers, mushrooms, anything you'd like really, Crack the eggs in a bowl, & throw in the other ingredients, & mix it, heat up the non stick frying pan, be careful of the oil you use when frying as it basically just turns to trans fats...in case you do this every morning.

If you like your cereals, Chow Down! I used to eat a lot of Crispix, Frosted Mini Wheats, Shreddies, you can get these in no name too.

When you get the hang of it, try making your own pancake mixes, with sweet potatoes or with PB or blueberries, not just the generic in a box kind. Buy some frozen berries or mixed fruit to add atop. Either let them sit out over night or microwave, buy some syrup or use jam, or get some nutella, whatever you'd like for sauce, or not.

These are all still great meals for any time of the day really!!

As you can tell, I LOVE my nut butters & banana's

Another oldie fav: Toasted bread with chopped up Banana's & Nut Butter, or toast with black diamond cheddar, or cinnamon

Sometimes it's grand to savour some morning bagels with scrambled eggs, avocado, tomatoes, onions, romaine or spinach, smoked salmon or make a tuna melt (yes! even for the morning) or turkey bacon, or sausages, cut in half & laid down on your toasted bagel, make a couple of toasted bagel sandwiches!!

Fruit Salads: Frozen fruit, depending where you are, & costs, or fresh blueberries, melons, papaya, grapes, apples, pineapple, peaches, ect the list goes on, cut up, tossed, with some toast & yogurt for dipping with some granola!

A simple meal for any time of the day:

Chicken Mango wraps, buy some tortillas, add mayo or avocado, lettuce, I used to cook my meat in a non stick frying pan without oil, I'd heat it up, cut up some chicken & put it in, leave it for 2-5 minutes using my scraper, add spices if you like. I was fairly plain. Maybe you want some salsa or cheese, or other veggies, remember to cut your chicken into long strips b4 cooking. Add a few strips of Mango, wrap up your tortilla & there you have it! You can also toast the wrap. Make a few of these.

For other simple idea's until you get the hang of experimentation, check out youtube, seriously they can even teach you how to boil an egg. Not saying you wouldn't know how.

Some good lean fillets: Tilapia, you fry it on one side on medium heat for about 1-2 mins, & than flip for another 1-2 mins, add some spices, such as Mrs. Dash (no salt added) you want it to flake, & be tender when you stick in your fork. Pick up some scallops, or shrimp, to either BBQ or saute or fry, they don't need a lot of heat, & you don't need to cook for very long.

Google lists for idea's of what veggies or fruits, you can't think of. No shame in it.

Pick up some pre made meatballs, or buy some ground beef, ground bison, when making them, grate some carrots, zucchini, or cukes to add in, also grind up some saltine (no salt added) crackers.

Make some spaghetti, buy some spaghetti sauce, make some stir fry's with beef, chicken, steak

Have a hard shell taco night, sour cream, salsa, shredded cheese, ground beef, veggies, diced tomatoes, olives, sprouts, or lettuce,

Have a soup in a loaf bowl. Canned soup. Some groceries have loaf bowls, or you can buy a large round loaf, & cut out the center, have some butter, or margarine on hand. That's a full meal!

Sloppy Joes, Baked Macaroni & Cheese, Buy your own pre-made pizza bread, & pick up everything you want for a pizza, & bake it.

Buy some canned tuna or canned salmon, & mash it up with lemon or spices & mayonnaise, make a salad, or add it onto some type of pasta, pasta only takes about 7-9 mins to boil.

Buy some packaged tortellini & some sauce, & go to town!!

Idea's from a Raw Foodist: I am about 85% Raw Vegan mixed with 15% Raw Paleo. << I eat raw animal products too.

Anything your heart desires any time of the day not cooked, processed, packaged, I LOVE my Green Smoothies.. I LOVE large salads, sprouts, fruits, nuts, SAD recreations,

I could go on...but yea, I think you get the picture...
