The ideal breakfast contains protein, fat, and carbohydrates. The problem with that bagel is that it's mostly refined carbs, with no fat and little protein.
Although all food gives you energy, protein-rich foods keep you going longer because protein slows your body's absorption of carbohydrates. What's more, protein tempers blood sugar fluctuations, preventing the spikes and crashes that can leave you hungry and drained. Choose lean sources of protein for breakfast, like soymilk and tofu. Also, consider beans (think breakfast burrito). Not only do beans contain important B vitamins, which enable you to think more clearly, but they also offer plenty of fiber, Fiber stabilizes your blood sugar, keeping your energy level even, and adds bulk to fill you up.
Including fat at breakfast is important, because your body needs fat to function properly, and fat helps you feel full. Your best fat choices are the heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, like nuts, olive oil, and avocados. Flaxseeds, rich in omega-3 fats, are a wise choice as well.

First thing you should do upon waking is drink water! Really.
Oatmeal is one of the perfect foods. Try that and some whole grain toast and some fresh fruit.

I'm told that apples give you just as much of a energy jolt at coffee and that they include lots of what you need to get going in the morning. I still have my morning coffee, two cream, two sugar, and dont eat for the 1st four hours the same way hunter/gatherers did a 6-7 thousand years ago.

Grab some fruit. On good days, I grab a couple of bananas. On bad days, I eat Cocoa Pebbles. Cocoa Pebbles usually find me looking for a nap shortly thereafter. STAY AWAY FROM THE COCOA PEBBLES if you're looking for energy.

Oatmeal.
Oatmeal is wheat and grains= carbohydrates= energy and a lot of it.
Protein too. So maybe some toast with peanut butter or bacon.

They say an apple is better at waking you up than a cup of coffee.
