    I bake crust less quiche or "frittatas" for 130-150 calories per 1/4. Just heat up a quarter every morning
    Recent ones are cabbage/bacon and BLT

    Would you mind sharing the recipes for these? I've been making my crustless spinach quiche with either ham or turkey sausage and fat free cheese and I would like to mix it up a bit.
    Thank you!

    Nothing. But if I did, it would probably be eggs or yoghurt.

    During the week I have pretty much the same thing every day:

    *An individual Fage 2% plain Greek yogurt
    *1 serving of either Kashi 7 Whole Grain Nuggets cereal with fresh fruit, or oatmeal with cinnamon and either fresh fruit, or thawed frozen fruit.
    *And my breakfast smoothie: 1 banana, 1 cup kale or spinach, 1 cup unsweetened coconut or hemp milk, 1/2 cup water, 1 scoop pea protein powder, 2 tbsp PB2, 1 tbsp unsweetened baking cocoa powder

    On the weekend, pretty much whatever I feel like.

    Oh yeah and I always have a multivitamin and a flaxseed oil tablet.

    I eat basically the same thing everyday during the work week. Breakfast at 6:30am

    3 egg whites scrambled with 1oz. swiss cheese, 2 cups spinach, 8 cheery tomatoes (halved)
    1 cup hazelnut coffee with 2T hazelnut creamer
    2 pieces of flax seed whole grain toast
    1c. watermelon

    This comes to about 350 calories and approx 25g protein, 38g carbs (23g sugar), 10g fat
    Keeps me feeling full until about 11am, when I eat a cheese stick, then lunch at 12:30pm

    Thank you!

    @nwoodrum2011 No problem!

    Ingredients:
    4 slices center cut bacon
    8oz sliced cabbage (I use bagged coleslaw)
    4 eggs
    4 egg whites or ¾ cup liquid egg whites
    ¼ cup nonfat milk
    Salt/pepper to taste
    1-2 scallions, sliced


    Method:
    Chop and crisp the bacon in a pan. Remove the bacon and cook the cabbage in the remaining bacon grease until soft – set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, egg whites, milk, salt and pepper. Line the bottom of a cake pan with parchment paper. Pour egg mixture into pan and add cabbage distributing evenly. Top with bacon and scallions. Bake at 400 for approx. 20 minutes until set.

    For the BLT, I just cook the bacon and swap out the cabbage for 3-4 oz of fresh baby spinach. Then I add around 60g of sliced grape tomatoes instead of the scallion.

    You can really swap out anything you want :)

    I make a frittata every Sunday (this week's was ham, lowfat cheddar, onions, quinoa, eggs and egg whites) I have that and a green smoothie (banana, spinach, orange or pineapple, strawberry, whey protein, sometimes greek yogurt - this makes a big smoothie that I split with my husband)

    I have a protein shake. I'd love to be an oatmeal person but that texture just isn't for me. If I'm hungry mid morning I will have yogurt or a piece of fruit.

    @Queenmunchy,
    Thank you!
    I look forward to trying both of those since I seem to rotate between quiche and overnight oatmeal for breakfast.
    I'll share the recipe I make:
    Crustless Spinach Quiche

    TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 40 min.
    MAKES:6-8 servings
    Ingredients
    1 cup chopped onion
    1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
    1 tablespoon vegetable oil
    1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
    2/3 cup finely chopped fully cooked ham
    5 eggs
    3 cups (12 ounces) shredded Muenster or Monterey Jack cheese- I use 2 cups of fat free cheddar
    1/8 teaspoon pepper


    Directions
    In a large skillet, saute onion and mushrooms in oil until tender. Add spinach and ham. cook and stir until the excess moisture is evaporated. Cool slightly. Beat eggs; add cheese and mix well. Stir in spinach mixture and pepper; blend well. Spread evenly into a greased 9-in. pie plate or quiche dish. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Yield: 6-8 servings.

    Most days it's oats:

    50g quick oats nuked in water, then add a tub of apple puree, sprinkle of cinnamon and vanilla extract. Sometimes I add some fake sugar.
    Sometimes It's oats with frozen blueberries, vanilla and a little bit of full cream milk.
    OR I add a tablespoon of cocoa powder with vanilla, fake sugar and a splash of milk.
    And a mug of nespresso pod coffee made with 1cup of skim milk.

    Recently I did 45g oats with a mashed small banana (50g), sugar free maple syrup and 10g of chopped pecans with about half a dozen dark chocolate chips scattered across the top. That was nice...

    When I make oatmeal for my kids I add full cream milk, golden syrup and peanut butter. They eat it ALL.

    agree with most of the above... but i do try to keep it to protein only in the morning... turkey or veggie sausage and the like. i like to save any carbs (like a piece of toast) for later in the day, so i can look forward to it.

    i have found that if i let ANY kind of carb touch my lips (even fruit) before i have some substantial protein, i simply crave carbs all day!! anyone else have that experience??

    Yes! That's me, too. Also if I have carbs early I get really sleepy.

    Depends on the morning...my daughter bought me a juicer for my bday so I've been eating a tonne of fruits and veg for brunch every day...when I don't juice, a typical morning would include a boiled egg, some spinach, tomato and very old cheddar (drizzled in hot sauce, of course!)

    Usually a 4 to 6 oz chicken breast, 1 egg with 3 to 4 egg whites and an Oikos yogurt

    What is the obsession with removing the yolk??? Eggs are a complete protein source providing all the amino acids aswell as protein. And dont give me the colesterol bs either. STOP REMOVING THE YOLKS.



    Amen to that! :)

    Yes!

    Normally I eat: 1 cup Stonyfield Farm Low fat Vanilla yogurt with 30g Whole Grain Total mixed in it. Have a glass or two of water. Calcium tablet. 2-3 cups of coffee. Later I may have some fruit.

    Sometimes I don't have breakfast at all.

    Sometimes I scramble some eggs and mix with cheese and salsa and toast.

    Sometimes...I eat pop tarts or Cap'n Crunch. That's usually the beginning of a bad day...lol
