This is my favorite breakfast, it is called pumpkin bake. Despite the relatively low calories, it *really* fills you up. A lot of the times I can't even finish my serving. It's not exactly a cheesecake, it is a little less desserty than that and a bit more hearty, but it is quite similar. The recipe recommends cutting it into 4 slices, but I find cutting it into 6 is better. Having a smaller portion brings the cals to only 240, which means you can top it with more yummy things. I top mine with a drizzle of no-sugar maple syrup, a tablespoon of whipped cream, and 1/4 an ounce crushed walnuts. This brings the total calories to just under 300. I also tend to have it with half a cup of warm atkins chocolate milk (I dilute my atkins milk with water since I don't like the thickness) to get in more protein (you seem to not have a problem getting adequate protein, so you can feel free to skip this ).
Later on in the plan when you are on a higher carb allowance like me, chopped up fruit like apples and berries also go great on it, and add to the nutrition.

Here is a recipe for an easy and delicious pumpkin cheesecake. I don't make this as often as the pumpkin bake since the calories are higher, but when you are in the mood for cheesecake it really hits the spot.
