Can you all give me some breakfast inspiration!? I never have time in the morning and end up grabbing a banana on the go but am starving by 10am. What low carb breakfasts can I have that are super quick?!

Omelette or scrambled eggs along with whatever you like. Omelette's you can throw various things like mushrooms or herbs in.

I find the breakfast hours are the most difficult for me. I swear, just the stress of waking up and getting out of bed causes an elevation in Blood Sugar Levels and I've never been all that hungry the first couple of hours of the day.
What works for me - a small Greek Yogurt with a handful of raw walnuts and usually not until an hour after I'm up. It may not sound like much but this comes from someone who for the longest time didn't eat breakfast.
I’ve found a couple easy , low carb breakfasts. Cottage cheese, (I eat about 3/4 c.). I sprinkle some Splenda and some cinnamon on it. And cooked whole oats. They take about 50 min. to cook, but I make a week's worth at a time and nuke a scant cup or so, add a little half and half. It’s quite tasty, and not ***** like rolled oats. I sometime substitute a slice of real whole wheat bread with butter. (Cottage cheese may be called something else in the UK. Milk curds? It’s lower carbs and higher protein than yoghurt .)

Frittata can be cooked, cooled and cut into portions. Wrapped in foil a portion can be nuked, if you want it warm, or can be grab and go, in it's ready fitted foil coat to be snaffled later, or on the move. Fill with anything you like.
Cooked bacon. Cooked sausages can be grab and go too, like the frittata. Crustless quiche (millions of recipes out there; similar to frittata to be fair.
As I eat a reduced carb diet, I tend to think of those sorts of things first. I live this site, which tends to do lots of aggregating from other sites and bloggers: http://www.ditchthecarbs.com/2014/07/04/top-20-low-carb-breakfasts/
Good luck!

@Catk90, if time is limited on a morning you could also make the omelette (@eddie1968 suggestion) the night before to eat on the go.
Personally I always make time for breakfast, always have done no matter what time I started work on a morning

I find a protein breakfast best for me...though gluten free porridge made half and half with almond milk and water is good to go til midday. Kippers and scrambled egg. Frittata great...halloumi cheese friend with tomato etc I'm ok unless I'm staying with friends etc and then it all goes to pot...
