Eat protein with breakfast.  It mitigates your appetite hormones better than carbohydrates or fats.  That means you won't be as hungry by the late morning as if you didn't eat protein with breakfast. 

Here are some easy-to-prepare, healthy, common "morning" proteins:
Eggs (whole) - Cook any way you like. If you're cooking them in a pan, add vegetables like greens, mushrooms and onions for flavor and nutrients.
Lowfat Cottage Cheese - 1/4 or 1/2 cup.  Fruits can help spice this dairy protein up! 
Lowfat Plain Yogurt (especially greek yogurt) - Add fruit or nuts for some healthy flavor.
High-Protein Grain Products - Especially Ezekiel bread or cereal.

I would recommend to avoid the following proteins for breakfast because of their tendency to bloat, complicate digestion, or otherwise unhealthy attributes:
Cereals (with added proteins) - complicate digestion and can inhibit protein absorption compared to natural, unprocessed foods. 
Synthetic/Processed Protein Powders - most protein powders are synthetic or super-processed versions of natural proteins.
Breakfast Sausages or Ham - usually have little protein protein, high fat, and high sodium content.
Steak (unless you have ambitions to play linebacker for the 1975 Pittsburg Steelers)
