Maybe, I think it depends on what kind of porridge it is, I think the instant microwave stuff is pretty bad.
Breakfast suggestions quick easy and healthy?

Get some good quality granola, chuck in some blueberries and/or strawberries, and cover in Greek honey yogurt. Here's one I made earlier.
Don't turn your nose up at the idea of granola. Crap granola tastes like saw dust. Good granola is absolutely delicious, especially when covered in yogurt. Very healthy and very quick to make. Also, one decent sized portion will fill you up.
That ain't healthy and won't aid weightloss, it's just a bowl of sugar.
Protein and fat is what's needed for breakfast, that's why eggs are perfect, the natural balance of fats and proteins provide satiety especially when eaten with a good pure butter, a low sugar carb food such as tomato is a good accompaniment.
People mistakenly believe lots of fruit is good for you when really all it is is sugar and a bit of vitamin c.
I'd say 1 portion of fruit a day just for your vitamin c would suffice, but if you want to kick start the fat burning process I would cut out fruit altogether for a while and replace with a vitamin c supplement.

I don`t think artifical vitamin tablets can or should replace fruits. I take vitamin-C and multivitamin tablets but also eat fruits as they contain a lot of stuff that you cant` find in tablets (e.g. fibre and antioxidants.)
Also natural, unrefined porridge is one of the healthiest carb you can eat. Of course the instant stuff is crap as it`s basically means they added lots of sugar in it.

The little amount of fibre in fruit isn't going to help him lose weight when they are full of sugar. If you still want to eat one piece of fruit a day then eat it when your most active like after cycling to work etc.
I also never said he had to completely cut out fruit, but he should cut it out for at least a few weeks to get the fat burning process going. I would say 1 portion of fruit is enough to spike your blood sugar.

Then what are you supposed to eat (apart from eggs)?
Fresh meat and veg? Handful of almonds for a snack, sweet potato goes nice with everything (slow release won't spike blood sugar).
Of course that's not all but an example.

It`s completely possible to loose weight while eating fruits regularly. One a day should be the minimum not the maximum imo.
