Kathie: You are probably not losing weight because you have put your body into starvation mode. 800 - 900 kcals are not enough! You should never go below the amount of calories needed to sustain your basal metabolic rate (BMR). There is a BMR calculator here: http://www.room42.com/nutrition/basal.shtml.
As to breakfast, my summer mainstay is cottage cheese w/ raspberries, flax meal and some almonds or sunflower seeds. I do add protein powder (unflavored) to get in my minimum protein. A lot of people like ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese. Occasionally I will make a "pancake" out of protein powder, flax meal, egg, etc.
There are a lot of recipes in the Breakfast forum. I don't do pork rinds but I know there is a recipe people rave about using them to make french toast. I'm sure if you search around, there will be something to appeal to you.
HTH and good luck finding something else to eat that you will enjoy for breakfast !
