Do you have a calorie range in mind?

I eat sauteed spinach and garlic, egg over easy and and 1/2 a bagel on a regular basis. Another favorite is an omelet w/ 1 oz feta cheese, spinach, mushroom and red onion. Very flavorful and filling!

I recently started eating quinoa for breakfast. I can't eat eggs, milk or cheese so a lot of options are out for me. I make with half water and half almond milk. Put a little cinnamon and brown sugar in it and add fruit. It is great!

I eat breakfast depending on what I am eating for dinner. I also split my breakfast up into two parts on mornings that I work. It helps because I get very hungry right after breakfast so I don't try to eat lunch early.

Sometimes I do:

A powerhouse smoothie (Pears, pinapple and kale) @9:30am
A low calorie yogurt @10:30/11am
--
1 or 2 egg whites and a piece of turkey bacon @9:30am
A low calorie yogurt or protein bar @10:30/11am
--
An apple/banana or some type of fruit @9:30am
Oatmeal with salt and pepper or honey@10:30/11am
--
On Fridays and Sundays when I'm off I will make scrambled egg whites and put them on wheat toast with turkey bacon. Or take wheat bread and soak it in egg whites. Bake (Or griddle) them. Put sugar free apple pie filling on top. Super yummy. Low calorie. And my Love LOVES it.

This morning I had a Whole Grain English Muffin (Rudi's) with a shmear of kalamata hummus (I can give a recipe if you like) and sliced tomatoes. I also threw in a banana after. Low cal, several food groups, and yummy!

aadarling21

Today I had a banana pancake:

Mash a medium banana in a bowl with a fork, crack two eggs into the bowl and whisk together with the fork.
Heat a small pan on medium low and spray w/ nonstick spray.
Pour batter into pan and let cook until edges are firm, flip with spatula and cook on other side until firm.
Top with whatever you want, today I had cherry preserves on it... yum!

Yeah, that sounds yummy!

I do 1 whole egg, 2 egg whites, 0.5 oz shredded cheese. Beat eggs together and cook like your doing an omelette. When you flip add cheese and fold. Top with a little salsa. Low in calories and full of flavor. Approx 160 cal.

asilva66

I pick from either oatmeal, almond milk & slivered almonds with cinnamon or 1 egg cooked in coconut oil with 1 slice of swiss cheese & a slice of wheat toast. Both are filling and so darn good!

taylorworthit

I usually have a leanfit protein shake, blended with a banana. About an hour later a large orange. Then good till lunch!!

I am not great at eating "breakfast" I eat brunch. I am never hungry in the morning I get up late as I work evenings. What I do is make something ahead of time...a crockpot omelette with eggs and meat and veggies...cheese if you eat it. Egg "muffins" that I batch cook on the weekend. Egg "sandwiches" that I make the fixings for on the weekend. I portion all out for the work week so its grab and go.

mere521

Spoon ground Turkey in pan that has been heated with coconut oil. Sprinkle on seasoning... I use cinnamon, mrs. Dash onion and herb, & black pepper. Takes about 15 min, flip half way between. Voila! homemade turkey sausage! :-)

davidorona10

I like a 2 egg omelet with sauted broccoli and fresh spinach. I go light on the cheese. You can do egg whites as well but I like the whole egg. This fills me up.

Snoozypaws3000

I like good old fashioned porridge oats with a sprinkling of nuts and seeds, some dried fruit and a drizzle of honey from my bees....it comes in at a fairly high 400 cals but keeps me filled up until late afternoon.
I also like eggs served as an omelette with chopped veggies and chillies

TaniaLynne

i like a baby spinach, mixed berry, milk, and greek yogurt shake...mmmmm

Roisin_Dances

I really like eggs and some veggie bacon on a rice cake but that can be tough on busy mornings. If I'm feeling lazy it's 90sec porridge with half almond milk half water. Other then that I make chia seed fruit puddings (chia seeds, almond milk, fruit of choice) and smoothies (same as chia recipe).

Dice and chop one of every vegetable you have in your fridge and steam them until soft in a non-stick skillet. Add some black beans for extra protein and fiber if you like. Pour over enough beaten eggs to cover plus some and bake at 350 until a knife comes out clean. Cut into wedges and refrigerate. Douse with a little Chipotle Tabasco when you serve it. I'll do this twice a week and I have a protein and veggie rich 200ish calorie breakfast at the ready every day. Yum. Oh, and for some variety, tear a wedge up into pieces over a whole wheat tortilla and top with some salsa for a quick breakfast burrito.

I just do a boiled egg. Quick and easy overnight, then pop in microwave and go. Keeps cravings away. Or, I do low fat greek yogurt, with a little bit of splenda (whatever, sweetener you'd like). I've gotten pretty used to it with no Splenda now.

KamL27

I also do a garden of life protein shake in between so I don't get sick of eggs. Just shake & go. Or shake while I go. Lol!

jenwikoff

On sundays I make a weeks worth of egg muffins. I mix 18 eggs, a package of turkey sausage, green pepper (or any other veggies you like). I spray 2 muffin tins and add 2 or 3 spinach leaves at the bottom and add my egg mixture. I also add a few drops of Siracha to each. Cook in the oven at 350 until done. It makes 24 egg muffins and I can just heat and go.

I am not that hungry in the mornings, so I make a smoothie. Almond milk, frozen berries, 1 tbsp frozen avocado and greek 0% yogurt. Keeps me going until lunch time.

I have been making omelets, I sauté scallions, green peppers and fresh mushrooms, add to that 1/3 cup egg whites. I will typically add in 1 T of shredded cheese. I eat first thing in the morning, hungry or not to get my metabolism going. I eat every 2.5-3 hours the rest of the day.

Smoothies are an option as well. Protein powder, 6 ice cubes, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 c berries or 1/2 a banana, stevia if needed.

Oatmeal and fresh fruit are another option

In a pinch I have used Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches

jerber160

I usually have a biscott with coffee, or lately a half cup (uncooked) oatmeal with dried cherries and almond milk.. it's higher than I like-255cals but tasty.

tnjwood

I love 1 Oz low fat cheddar, 10 tricuits and an apple. Of course my coffee too, around 350 calories and keeps me full!

AstroZombie419

I saute Kale with garlic and fresh lemon juice, place it on top of whole wheat toast and top with poached eggs, Sometimes I add fresh jalepeno slices, onions, or sun dried tomatoes to the sauted kale.
