Dear lazyweb; healthy breakfast snacks?

[denny]

One of the things a lot of people seem to recommend for losing a bit of weight is eating smaller meals more regularly, so your metabolism keeps ticking over. This is a big change from my existing policy of eating one ginormous meal a day. Still, I'm okay(ish) with this new approach once I'm up and moving for the day, but I've always been really bad at breakfast, so getting the 'regular meals' plan underway at the start of the day is proving far trickier.

I did start trying to eat breakfast cereal each day, but most diets seem to frown on that for various reasons (wheat, dairy, sugar)*. I also tried scrambled eggs (with and without smoked salmon) for a couple of weeks, but cooking it was a bit too much effort for me to sustain, and also it was quite heavy going for me to eat something that 'real' early in the day, which resulted in my not eating my first meal until later in the day again.

So, I'm trying to think of other things that (a) would be healthier than cereal, (b) are relatively easy to prepare (without cooking would be ideal) and (c) I'm likely to be willing to eat. Any suggestions?

Please note, factor (c) will lead to my rejecting almost all suggestions because I am a very fussy eater - please don't take it personally! :)

You can actually microwave it, which is somewhat simpler. If less entertaining. *watches*
