Some of us love a good melted ham and cheese sandwich or omelet, but try using vegetables and goat cheese instead. How about spinach. tomatoes and about an ounce of goat cheese, along with peppers? You'll be saving yourself over 300mg of sodium by substituting the ham.

Most of the parfaits that you get when you are on the go have lots of extra sugar and fat that you just don't need. They are actually more of a dessert than they are breakfast. Instead, make your own parafait using about 6 ounces of fat-free yogurt, a fresh fruit of your choosing and about 2 tablespoons of low-fat granola. If your sweet tooth still isn't satisfied, drizzle a teaspoon of honey over the parfait and you've got yourself a sweet and healthy breakfast treat!

The average cinnamon roll contains so many calories that you'll be working it off for weeks. Instead, pick up 2 slices of sweet raisin bread, toast them and spread low-fat cream cheese on them. Then sweeten the cream cheese with about 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon for a spicy finish.

When you are eating pancakes for breakfast, it's best to leave the butter out at all costs (if possible). You can substitute calorie-filled butter and syrup with 1 tablespoon of chopped pecans and a dollop of non-fat Greek yogurt. You can also cut a lot of calories by making a shorter stack of pancakes...

A 12-ounce Bloody Mary contains about 2 shots of vodka, the main source of calories in the cocktail, and it has about 1000 grams of sodium (way more than you need). Instead, try a lower-calorie mimosa - a champagne and orange juice combo - and if you can, use freshly squeezed orange juice that contains less sugar.

If you're used to topping your morning oatmeal with nuts, brown sugar and cream, you should try adding just apples, honey and cinnamon instead. While the high-calorie toppings do taste good, they weigh down the entire dish with their high fat and sugar content, which is hard to digest. However, apples, cinnamon and honey are all very easy to digest and healthy at that. They will also save you a good deal of fat and calories. If you miss the creamy taste, try adding a bit of non-fat Greek yogurt.
