Low calorie breakfast ideas?

cyclebummer

1/2 cup oatmeal mixed with milled flaxseed, ciinnamon, diced fruit, sweetened with honey, T of olive oil, slice of wholewheat toast with cream cheese. About 550 cal. My food is very low in fat, thus the olive oil. The honey for its miraculous health benefits.

Sub artificial sweetner for the honey and skip the olive oil to drop about 200 cals for the 'low cal' version.

1. Flax waffle (toasted), topped with a1/3 C low fat ricotta cheese (sweetened with a bit of stevia) topped with strawberries.
If you want more protein, add a slice of lean ham that you heat up un the microwave. If you want fewer carbs, skip the waffle.

2. Ahead of time, bake up a batch of the muffin recipe you find on the Quaker Oatbran hot cereal box, adding what you like in terms of fruit and nuts. Freeze these. Pull out and eat with fruit and protein source of your choice (yogurt, ham, etc)

i like variety, so it changes a lot, but often i have one of these options:

-a smoothie with some combination of protein powder, chia seeds, a portion of banana or a whole banana, strawberries, blueberries, or pineapple
-precooked steel cut oats with brown sugar, cinnamon and apples (lots of carbs here) along with eggs, egg whites or cold chicken
-low fat cottage cheese with an apple and some almonds
-a combination of eggs/egg whites with a slice of toast (usually sprouted wheat), a little butter and maybe some turkey bacon or low sodium bacon
-bobs red mill 8 grain cereal with some leftover veg and eggs

I normally go with a 1/2 cup of egg beaters to make an omelet with veggies or I drink my shakeology.

Don't skip breakfast. That slows down your metabolism and causes your body to go into starvation mode thus causing weight gain. One should eat within an hour of waking up.

Yeah... Martin Berkhan and Nate Miyaki slowed down so much their metabolisms... x'D

Haven't u ever heard of IF (Intermittent Fasting) ? It's a type of breakfast-skipping that's actually succesfully been used to even gain muscle...

Another Intermittent Fasting fan here on an 18/6 cycle - no breakfast for me, fasted morning work outs using the existing fat that I already conveniently have for fuel instead of food I've just put in my body.....it's working for me!

Check out the IF group for more info, but good luck with whichever lifestyle plan works for you

I read an article recently in Top Sante magazine which was talking about the 5:2 diet. Where you eat 5 days normally and then 2 non-consecutive days of only 500 cals. This was a receipe for breakfast which I love!!
1 poached egg
1 large field mushroom grilled
1 large vine tomato or 5 smaller ones grilled
handful of baby spinach
cook the mushrooms tomato's etc with a spray of fry-lite and season with salt and pepper and cut chives
Place your poached egg on the spinach to wilt it. Eat and enjoy. Delicious breakfast at and only 124 cals!!
Apparently eggs are more filling than wheat!
If you add a slice of wholemeal nimble hovis it comes up to 175cals. if you add a grilled rasher of nu me bacon from morrisons at 39cals your still only at 214cals.
Scrumptious

Medically you need to eat within the first 2 hours of waking up to kick start your metabolism. Otherwise your body will store the food as fat.

Well this is what a lifestyle advisor told me. :-/

Medically speaking your lifestyle advisor is confused.... :laugh:
They are confusing motorbikes with metabolism - one might have a kickstarter and the other doesn't.

Weetabix, Shredded Wheat or oats if you like cereals. Mixed bowl of berries is very refreshing and low calorie.

If you don't like breakfast and it doesn't cause you to make poor choices later in the day then there isn't any reason to force yourself to eat something.

Oats

^^ This. every single god-damn day!!!

_EndGame_

Quaker Oats porridge (in the sachets) mix with 180ML of skimmed milk, microwave for 2 minutes, then I add strawberries and grapes. Usually comes to just around 180 calories, depending which flavor of porridge you go for.

my ultimate favorite low cal breakfast is scrambled eggs with spinach, tomatoes, green onions, mushrooms and hot sauce! grrr.... did you hear my stomach growl?

I don't usually eat breakfast but find when I'm dieting, I am hungrier in the mornings than normal, so I'll often grab a banana and have low-fat hot chocolate to go with it. Works a treat and tides me over til lunch!

Don't skip breakfast. That slows down your metabolism and causes your body to go into starvation mode thus causing weight gain. One should eat within an hour of waking up.

There is no evidence to support that claim, BROSCIENCE. There is research that shows short-term HGH boost from not eating earlier in the day.

I would say eggs but you don't eat eggs.

I would suggest gritz or cereal. I don't eat breakfast personally.

i thought I would try the Special K diet plan
But instead using shredded wheat bite size or tesco oat cereal although when you weigh out
40/50 grams it does not look much but add some dried fruit and some fresh fruit I.e
Strawberries it makes a tasty filling breakfast for around 380 cals.

Oatmeal is always good, like with a dash of cinnamon and a tiny bit of maple syrup.
My personal favorite is an oatmeal carrot muffin with turkey bacon. Oh and yogurt is good and quick!

Porridge all the way Delicious!

I know some people say breakfast isn't important, I don'd know if it is or not but I happen to love it and I'm hungry in the mornings so I eat it.
I eat several different things for breakfast depending on the day and how much time I have and what I have on hand.
1) Cereal (Cracklin Oat Bran or Kashi Go Lean Crunch) with half a cup plain nonfat greek yogurt
2) Grits with 1/3 cup shredded cheese
3) Greek Yogurt Pancakes (search the recipe in the forum posts, that's how I found it) with some sugar free syrup.
4) Any leftover muffins or biscuits that might be around with a glass of milk, greek yogurt or egg for protein
5) My mom's homemade bread.
Sometimes I add fruit as well depending on what I have on hand.
I also drink coffee in the morning but I make sure to drink a glass of water too.

1/2 c quaker oats old fashioned oatmeal

Healthy carbs for energy and fiber. And so easy

I usually have 2 pieces of Healthy Life whole wheat, each with a tbl of peanut butter, which makes for a complete protein. I'm able to go 5 hours on it.

Smoothies are great...I drink a green smoothie in the morning before work. Just whiz 1 cup of water, 1 cup of ice, 2 cups of spinach/greens and 1 cup of fruit (add a spoonful of stevia if you need a bit more sweetness). My ten year old likes hers with green apples and green grapes, my fourteen year old likes his with just spinach and bananas...I throw whatever I have in there, minus the banana (I'm allergic)...peaches are awesome in there! Add a spoonful of milled flaxseed or wheat germ for more fiber. i've heard chia seeds or oats are good for thickening it up, too, but I havent' tried those yet. I also throw in any avocado I might have, too, for the fats.

Drink a Low-Sodium V8 (add some pepper if it is too bland for you)

or

I like the strawberry special k cereal with unsweetened almond milk (vanilla)

or

just grab an apple, orange, or banana

Any of these help to curb my appetite until lunch time
