I only serve whole grains for the grain component at breakfast so that helps. I usually add peanut butter to toast or pancakes or french toast so that it "sticks to their ribs" and is more filling so they eat less of the grain. I'm probably going to switch to eggs at least once a week. Won't do yogurt as a sub but will still use as an add-on, because the amount needed for a serving for a meal (not snack) is so much that my kids would be unable to eat it. We already use cottage cheese for snack a couple of times a week. I add a ranch packet to it and they get it to dip their veggies or pita chips in.
