I am more active during the day than I am in the evenings and I fuel accordingly. A big breakfast, big lunch, small supper and no evening snacks works for me.

I generally skip breakfast or have a super low calorie plain greek yogurt.

If i wanted an actually filling and satiating breakfast there's no way i could make it low calorie. You need to figure out how you want to prioritize that; it may be easier for you to eat a higher calorie breakfast and less throughout the day/night.

My suggestions would be foods that incorporate all three macros specifically with more fat and protein:
Oatmeal with milk/nut butter/greek yogurt/fresh fruits/roasted nuts/chia, etc. mixed in
Omelete with eggs/veggies/cheese/meat
French toast with bread/eggs/milk with berries/fruit/honey, etc.
Breakfast sandwich with bagel thins/eggs/cheese/ham/bacon, etc.

hope this helps!

3 eggs cooked in 1tbs of coconut oil, 1/2 avocado, 2 oz turkey sausage and I throw in some spinach or mushrooms if I want. Full till lunch!

That would depend on your calorie allotment for each meal. If you have 400 calories for the morning, then I'd make quiches with ham, cheese, sweet peppers, onion and one tator tot added to the middle. You can make these 100- 400 calories dependent on how much ya add into it. Make them in muffin tins and then freeze. I find a 130 calorie quiche takes me to lunch time and my granola bar quite easily.

It depnds on what you mean by "low calorie." I consider a low calorie meal to be one below 250 calories. I have not found any low calorie meals that will keep you full for the 3-4 hours between breakfast and lunch, especially with exercise right before lunch. You either need a low calorie breakfast and a snack (or two) or a moderatwly high calorie breakfast that will fuel your body through all that.

I have oats with either 1/2 ounce of almonds or Tbsp (16g) of chunky peanut butter with a couple of scrambled eggs and veggies pretty much every day.

This. Depends on when you have breakfast and when you have lunch too...

Although steel cut oats cooked in almond milk with some almonds and protein powder keep me full for a while. Or 2 eggs, bacon, and some refried beans. But they're both 300-350 calories.

I have just started eating all organic and that alone seems to keep my fuller longer. One of my personal favorite low calorie breakfasts that hold me over pretty good is 92 grams of egg whites and 2 Apple chicken sausage patties (sounds strange but actually pretty good) takes about 5 mins to make and only 170 calories and 20 grams of protein. Hope this helps

I don't eat breakfast but if I did I would eat a good 200+ grams of egg whites, with at least 200 grams of veggies (zucchini and squash, or broccoli, peppers, etc), with a slice of laughing cow cheese and hot sauce. High volume breakfast with 200ish calories depending on your servings. It is low in fat so if fat keeps you full, add a real egg, or a couple slice of bacon or avocado.

I also love Kodiak Cakes. The mix has a decent amount of protein, and a low calorie count. For 200-400 calories you can get quite a few pancakes. Not only are they filling, they give me a whoosh of energy.

I can't be bothered with this stuff in the morning though. I do just coffee, or coffee and a protein bar. A bar can tide be over until 1:00 if I eat it at 8:00 am.

I eat a huge breakfast, last time I counted it was over 1000 calories and I am hungry at 10. I do get up at 4:30 and run several miles prior so it all works out. Bowl of oatmeal, 1/2 cup almond milk, Over 1/2 cup sliced strawberries, 1/2 banana, 1/3 cup of walnuts, 1/4 cup blueberries, 1 tbl spoon chia seeds if you are wondering. Snack at 10 is a bag of almonds.

Rsclause- that sounds like an AWESOME start to the day!

Why do you need low calorie breakfast?

Protein and fat keep you satiated longer than carbs. So, look for protein and fat sources. Eggs and some nuts. Eggs and bacon. Eggs and cheese. Things like that will keep you full.

I'm so sick of eggs. Been dieting for a while. Even tried protein shakes.ugh

thompsonmurdock

Humm!! You guys are right.. What I mean is a high protein low calorie breakfast. I'm sick, sick, of eggs. Been on this journey for a while. I lost 94lbs about 2 years ago. I am now returning to get off some weight off, I gained over the holidays. Hoping advise from other will help me find better choice.
Thank you!!!

Smoothie-1/2 cup vanilla yogurt, splash of Kefir, 1 cup of frozen mixed berries, 1 scoop of protein powder. Then I have a snack of almonds and some fruit in between breakfast and lunch.

hellonew2015

Victory bar and walnuts. High in fiber, protein and fat

thompsonmurdock

Thanks. I have been doing smoothies. But almonds are a great idea. I can put some in a baggie and keep it in my pocket.. That just mite work... Thanks

markrgeary1

A serving of Oatmeal cooked in water and a tablespoon of soy sauce, add a squirt or more of Sirachi. I add about 10-20 grams of cashews and a fried egg on top. If you are fried on eggs try adding some cheese, for some reason that sounds like it would be good.

thompsonmurdock

Thank you so much. Lots of new ideas to think of. Thanks

Porridge with honey it's lush

I either have steel cut oats with 1/4 cup of fruit on top and a side of eggs OR a creamy nutrient dense shake.

I slow cook a homemade veggie chili with beans and freeze it. Every morning I eat about 3/4 cup veggie chili with 2 oz turkey breast added. Is about 250 calories and lasts me till lunch. I have a salad for lunch (350 cal) and that lasts me till dinner. I eat a banana in the day for extra calories.

JHALLISGETTINGsmall

I usually have a granola bar (peanut butter flavor) and a banana every day for breakfast

samwiserabbit

Peanut butter on Ezekiel toast. Comes in at about 300, depending on how much pb you put on, and hangs on longer than the same calories in oats or a smoothie.

BeYouTiful94

Optimum nutrition whey powder mixed in almond milk (8 oz, you could use any liquid. If you want more protein, don't use almond milk cuz it's got nothing on normal milk), one tablespoon of fiber powder, and a boiled egg for breakfast gets me super far

The protein powder is 120
The almond milk is 30
The egg is 70
The fiber is 10
Grand total 230

I make a pot of Steel Cut oatmeal on Sunday and have breakfast for the week (add then ham and bacon towards the end of the cook cycle). Steel cut oatmeal, Canadian Bacon Ham, Eggs, 260 calories portion, but then I add coconut oil and drink a glass of water with flax seeds and chia seeds...bumping it up to 485 calories and I am stuffed for hours. Keep in mind I am over 300 lbs., so you would have to adjust accordingly.

This combo gives me 22 grams of protein and 40 grams of carbs - plenty to keep me going till lunch.

When I want a protein bomb for breakfast I make pancakes with greek yogurt for about 40g protein. I need a 500 calorie breakfast though. That said, my 500 calorie pancake recipe makes a MASSIVE plate of pancakes; I did this the other day and it made 12 (smallish, say 3" diameter) ones. Anyway, if you want a 250 calorie breakfast you could halve that and still end up a respectable-sized stack of pancakes and around 20g protein.

• 6-7 oz plain fat free greek yogurt (100-120 calories, 18-20 g protein)
• 60g of flour (what type of flour I use depends on the how I plan to flavor the pancakes: usually a mix of whole wheat plus either white flour, almond meal, or cornmeal), about 210 calories -- more for almond meal -- / 7 g protein)
• a little protein powder (I use a weird local bulk soy powder because it's cheap and don't know what it is in "scoops," but it works out to be 50 calories and 12g protein)
• 1 egg or eggwhite substitute (25 calories for egg substitute)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder (you could use more but I manage my sodium)
• 1 banana (80-100 calories) or 4 oz unsweetened applesauce (50 calories) or 4 oz canned pumpkin
• optional fruit and nut bits to taste (diced apple + peanuts, frozen strawberries, dried cranberries + pecans, frozen blueberries + poppyseeds, etc etc etc.); sometimes I go savory and add a diced slice of bacon, slice of cheese, frozen corn, scallions. This step adds more calories. Strawberry is the calorie cheapest way to go, obviously.
• I usually add water too because this batter is sooo thick, say 3 oz of water for the above.

I like two sandwich thins toasted with butter and Marmite on top with a cup of milky (1% milk) coffee on side, about 190 calories.

I tired an egg and it just didn't work for keeping me full (although very much does for the kids)
