Breakfast under 280 calories

Disasterology919

Porridge (half a cup dry and made with water is 153cal) is a very filling and low cal breakfast that I eat everyday. Fills me up for hours. The beauty of it is you can add whatever toppings you want to improve flavour, add nutrition and add calories if you want.

Thanks for this info. For me 1 cup of cooked oatmeal was giving me 300 calories which I thought were lots. Still I felt hungry unless I added a banana, which added on the calories

Is there a specific brand of porridge?

oatmeal with fruit toppings usually does the trick for me! either original instant oats = 100 cals or regular dry oats =150 cals plus half a serving of berries or banana slices or apple chunks with a couple grams of raisins. usually at 200 cal or less. or you can have eggs, i like scrambled egg whites or 2 whole eggs scrambled and a half portion of oats with whatever topping & a bit of fruit. that usually keeps me pretty full, plus drinking water.

For me, one cup of cooked Quaker oats is 300 calories. What am I doing wrong? Still feel hungry unless I add a banana, which adds on the calories

My favorite is oatmeal (old fashioned or 1-minute) with a little brown sugar and a banana. However since that was already taken, Wheaties and 1% milk is 220 calories. Add a piece of fruit and you're in business.

Any mostly-carb breakfast (cereal, oatmeal, fruit, etc.) leaves me ravenously, insanely hungry no more than a couple hours later. I'm less hungry if I eat nothing for breakfast.

I have scrambled egg white with spinach, mushrooms, cheese and ham for 230 cals most mornings

I microwave a lump of frozen spinach covered (what? it comes in little lumps like wheels and is about an ounce) for a minute
slice in about 40 - 60g mushrooms, spash worcestershire sauce, cover and microwave for a minute
pop 1 slice of white thick sliced farmhouse bread in toaster
Pour in 85 to 100g egg whites (I'm intolerant to yolk you could do an egg) - because it's egg white I add a triangle of laughing cow light - microwave for 1 minute
Fluff with fork to mix in the Laughing cow
add a slice of honey roast ham or 5g cheddar
sometimes it needs another few seconds
on toast, lots of black pepper

big mug of coffee

You're counting a dry measurement as cooked.

This. Standard Quaker oats are .5 cup dry (40 g) for 150 calories. Makes about a cup or so cooked.

Protein, fat and fiber are filling.

The only way I make oats work for me is added protein and added fat. Oats (150 calories) made with milk and some chopped nuts, or nut butter.

Yogurt parfait with high fiber cereal and chopped nuts. Light lemon yogurt+ 1/4 cup raspberries + 1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean (original) + 1 Tbl. sliced almonds. Under 250.

A scrambled egg, two slices of costco precooked bacon and a banana is a regular breakfast for me. Right about 280 calories and it keeps me going for about 4 1/2-5 hours.

One slice of toast. Top with slice of low fat cheese slice. Top that with sliced hard boiled egg. Microwave for 15 seconds. Enjoy

Also once cup cooked steel cut oats, with brown sugar and a bit of unsweetened almond milk.

I did the toast, cheese and egg today with regular (not low fat) marble cheese and it was 10 times better. Still only 200 calories.

When I'm running errands early in the morning, I stop at Dunkin Donuts. Their ham, egg, and cheese on an english muffin is 280 calories. It's quick and easy

Three tbls of PB2, sugar free preserves and 2x40 calorie wheat bread make for a very low cal PB&J and it tastes fantastic to me.

Very boring but it keeps me full. 2 large biscuits of Shredded Wheat and 1/2 cup of 2% milk. 225 calories.

Atkins Day Break Chocolate Shake 140 calories. Sometimes I drink half and sometimes the whole thing. I don't do low carb except for this drink. It's perfect because I don't like breakfast and I take my medicine with it and it keeps me from getting queasy.

I don't eat breakfast.

I actually fast from 8pm-12pm the next day. That's 16 hours without food. It's called Intermittent Fasting. My goal is to spike HGH (human growth hormone) and testosterone in my body.
