Low calorie breakfast options?

id like to stay under 300 calories if possible. Open to anything quick and easy to make!

Depending on the bread you use, and how much avocado, Avocado Toast is about 300 calories. Define "quick" though! I stick some bread in the toaster while a pan heats with cooking spray in it. When the toast pops up, I put an egg in the pan and let it fry. While it fries, I slice half an avocado and put it on the toast. By that point, the egg is probably done and can slide right on top. Top with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Insanely delicious.

I usually have about twenty or less minutes in the morning before I have to leave for school haha. Not much of a fan of avocado though! But thank you for your response.

I had a lot of success with making an egg white crustless queshe packed full of veggies. I make it Sunday night, cut it into 8 portions and have a piece for breakfast every morning!

Do you have the recipe for it? This sounds yummy!

Okay, I'll try again! Stick some spinach in a pan with some garlic, S+P, and red chile flakes (if you can find frozen pre-chopped garlic, that's ideal here). Stir it around until it wilts. Stick it on a plate. Put a piece of whole wheat toast in the toaster. Fry an egg in the same pan. Put it on the spinach. Use spread of choice on the toast (or not). Veggies, grains, protein, pretty balanced! Might be able to grab a few berries or something on the side!

OR:

Make these in advance:http://www.babble.com/best-recipes/brown-rice-corn-spinach-tomato-frittata-muffins/

They're "muffins" but made with egg, brown rice, corn, spinach, and tomato. Like little mini-frittatas. You can make a batch over the weekend and keep them in the fridge. Just zap them for a few seconds to take the chill off (or eat cold, whatevs!) I made them a few months back, they were delicious.

Interestingly I just read this about low calorie breakfasts...this is worth looking at. I have found in the past that when I eat a higher calorie breakfast I want to snack less during the day. Worth reading, IMHO.

Your pick of healthy cereal in unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Silk brand is only 30 cal a cup.
I like to eat turkey bacon/sausage or chicken sausage with a boiled egg in a low calorie tortilla. La Tortilla Factory has some that are 70 cal with extra fiber and protein. I can make it all the night or weekend before and just assemble in the morning. Goat and Feta cheese adds a lot of flavor for little cals as well.

I like to make a huge omelette with two whole eggs, two egg whites, 2 cups of fresh spinach, one slice of cheese and sometimes a handful of Baby Bella mushrooms-300 calories -

I am a last minute person. The best thing to do would be to pre-prep your breakfast. You could make homemade breakfast bars or healthy muffins.

Here's a few breakfast bar ideas: Breakfast Bars

You could also hard-boil and peal some eggs. If you have time to sit down for a few minutes, make some instant oats (I like BetterOat brand) and put a Tbsp. of Peanut Butter in it. Its delicious. Another quick ideas would include whole grain waffles with a Tbsp. of all-natural peanut butter or nut butter on top.

I've been all about refrigerator oatmeal lately. You make it at night and it's ready to go in the morning. Tons of different flavor combos you can play around with. My current go to is strawberry-banana oatmeal

1/2 cup rolled oats
1 container low fat greek yogurt (I use Light & Fit strawberry)
1/2 banana, sliced
sliced strawberries
splash of almond milk

Mix it all together, top with sliced fruit. Let it sit for at least 4 hours so the oats soak up the liquid.

Sometimes I add some walnuts too. It's served cold but you can heat it up if you like. Depending on the amount of fruit and milk, it's around 300 calories.

Take 6 eggs, beat them up, put them into muffin tin and bake in the oven for about 15-20mins, ( 6 eggs makes 12 muffins ) you can have 2 muffins for 100 cals, ( or less ) and you can do them in batches and keep them in the fridge and just grab them as you head out the door

I chop up a tomato and put that in the bottom of the muffin tins before i pour the egg over, they are yummy, have no refined sugar and a good protein content.

I have created a different breakfast option. As I'm over Egg Whites and so over Egg Beaters that I mix them together. I LOVE this recipe that I tweaked:

1 cup of Egg Whites
1 cup of Egg Beaters
1/2 cup mozzarella shredded cheese
1/2 cup turkey sausage lean (browned)

Mix Egg Whites and Egg Beaters in a measuring cup.

Spray 12 muffin tins with Pam. Pour enough egg mix to halfway line on muffin tin. Top with a teaspoon full of sausage and about 1 teaspoon of cheese.

Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.

Cool on wire mesh rack.

Can freeze. But they don't last long. I eat 3 for breakfast.

YUMMY

My go to breakfast for a long time has been egg white muffins. I use the over sized muffin pans. 1 bag of spinach, 1 bell pepper, 1/2 package of ready cooked turkey bacon, 1 package green onion. Chop all of that up and add salt/pepper and seasoning. Divide it into 12 muffin cups. Fill it 3/4 full with egg white and sprinkle it with a bit of shredded cheese on top. Bake in the oven 350 for 30 minutes. I usually make a ton and freeze them. Roughly 130 calories per muffin.

I don't have alot of time in the morning so I have a bowl of boiled eggs in the fridge. One egg (with siracha), one piece of turkey bacon and a slice of ezkiel bread (toast has one pump of olive oil spray) plus coffee with skim = 214 calories

Single serving, Cream of Wheat. Maple Brown Sugar flavored, 1 envelope = 180 calories.

Found this on reddit - bit of work prepping your breakfasts one day; but will last you over a month if you follow the recipe (picture link at the end):

Breakfast Burritos - 350cal per fajita, makes 40

Ingredients:
36 eggs
2 pounds sausage (in the fat tubes).
4 cups (2 packages) shredded cheddar.
1 jar (2 cups) medium salsa.
1 large white onion.
2 green bell peppers.
2 tomatoes.
2 cans (4 oz each) diced green chiles.
40 ten-inch tortillas.
1 package of 20 frozen hashbrowns

How to make: Chop all veggies, mix in a bowl with the salsa and chiles. Set aside. Separately cook the following: Whip eggs with a dash of milk. Scramble them, adding all the cheese towards the end. Cook the sausage until brown. Cook the hashbrowns to desired doneness on each side (easier if you have a skillet).

Now, combine everything (veggie mixture, eggs, sausage) except the hashbrowns. I had to split into two bowls to do this cause it was so much food.

Cut a hashbrown in half and place it in the center of a tortilla. Use a half-cup measure to scoop the mixture on top of the hashbrown. Roll the burrito Freeze in a single layer on a greased cookie sheet, then wrap the frozen burritos in seran wrap. I further put the seran-wrapped burritos in freezer bags to protect flavor.

To heat them up, I wrap 2 burritos in paper towels and microwave for 4 minutes.

my breakfast this morning was 2 pieces of toasted cinnamon raisin ezekiel bread (I don't go through a loaf of raisin bread fast enough so I freeze it, and I think the ezekiel bread freezes better...tastes the same when toasted) and a mini brie bite from trader joes. 230 calories of total YUM. Plus doesn't get faster or easier than toasting bread and slathering cheese in between the slices.

I have been eating the last few days for breakfast, 1 orange, a cup of coffee and cream, and a Smart Ones Smoothie. The total breakfast is 230 calories.

Lately I've become fond of scrambling two eggs in just a little bit of butter and putting them in a tortilla. I like to add tapatio. It's very quick and easy, and also easy to eat because it's like a little breakfast burrito. You don't even have to sit down. And it's about 295 calories, just under 300. You could modify this with one egg and one egg white, or a low carb tortilla, or adding cheese if you're not afraid of more calories, etc.

Sandwich thin with 2 piece of turkey bacon, 1 egg or egg beaters and 1/2 a wedge of light laughing cow cheese - about 230 calories with a regular egg

sunman00

i love a 2 egg omelette, normally with mushroom & tomato in, delicious
1/2 tsp olive oil
2 eggs
sliced mushroom
sliced tomato

sauté the mushroom in the olive oil, add the whisked eggs when done, rotate the pan (on high heat) scraping the egg to the middle & letting runny egg fill the gap,
leave cooking 30 seconds, add the tomato, fold the omelette in half, season to taste & serve

if feeling extravagant put 5ml ketchup on the side, still low calories

^^^ This. I use a bagel thin, sometimes laughing cow or sometimes FF Cheddar cheese. I bake an entire carton of egg beaters for 15 min @ 425, then sprinkle the cheese on top and bake another 9-10min. Pull out and cut into 8 sections- plop it on a bagel thin add some cooked bacon. Wrap individually in saran wrap, place in a ziploc bag. I freeze half of the sandwiches and put the other half in the refrigerator and I pull one out every morning, wrap in a paper towel and nuke for 60 seconds. Completely kills the urge to run to McD's for a breakfast sandwich and soooo many less calories, and I can eat it on the drive to work.

I'm pretty simple when it comes to breakfast. I really like egg white sandwiches on Arnold's Sandwich Thins (if I want to splurge, I'll make them on Ezekiel bread). Add a little hot sauce, slice of tomato, glass of unsweetened almond milk or Trop50 and it's a filling meal.
