These days I usually just have PB&J on toast but I'm sure there are much better options

    How do you define "low calorie"?

    Egg whites with low fat cheese or organic high protein oatmeal with Greek yogurt. Theyre both about 230 calories a meal if you measure out the egg whites

    This week I've had
    Sweet and creamy Greek yoghurt 105g, 11g oats and strawberries 65g is 200cal

    1 large piece of grain toast and 30g avocado and 2 soft boiled eggs for 329 calories

    Cinnamon and apple porridge with skim milk and a small cored unpeeled Apple for 223 cal

    I love egg white omelets with vegetables (vary which ones). You can have equiv to a 4 egg omelet with veggies for under 200 calories.

    Crustless quiche!

    Cook 4 slices of chopped center cut bacon until crispy, remove and keep the bacon fat. Add your veggies and cook until soft. A lot of veggies - I add around 8-10oz of veggies depending on what mixture I want. Remove from heat. Beat 4 eggs, 4 egg whites (or 3/4 cup liquid egg whites), 1/4 cup skim milk and salt and pepper. Add all of your veggies, egg mixture, and bacon to a parchment lined cake pan, add raw tomatoes and/or scallion and bake at 400 for about 20 mins (sometimes a little over) until set.

    Some variations I tend to do are:
    bacon, mushroom, kale, scallion, tomato
    bacon, cabbage, scallion
    bacon, spinach, tomato (BLT)
    apple chicken sausage, spinach, and scallion

    Depending on the variation, they're about 130-150 calories per 1/4 of the pan. The ones below are cabbage/bacon/scallion and BLT

    Most days I do oatmeal with blackberries and a hard boiled egg. It satisfies.

    For me it's 4 hard boiled eggs and a bowl of strawberries. Under 400 calories...

    PB is quite high calorie for the volume. So is bread IMO.

    I like to make omelettes using mostly egg whites with a tonne of onion, peppers & mushrooms to bulk it out.

    Oatmeal + cottage cheese + fish oil. Fiber and oil keep you full, lots of long-burning protein and complex carbs.

    Whole wheat toast + peanut butter.

    Half serving of oatmeal with frozen berries and protein powder

    Cottage cheese with tomatoes, onion, bell peppers, garlic, and cucumber

    1 whole egg, 2-3 egg whites, and all the veggies you want

    Greek yogurt with 1/2 oz almonds and protein powder

    Coffee with protein powder, two pieces of bacon

    Chicken breast with guacamole

    Sauteed cabbage with canned or smoked salmon and a couple egg whites

    The possibilities are endless. You don't have to restrict yourself to typical "breakfast foods" for your first meal of the day.

    2 eggs and 150g of refried beans.
    Steel cut oats with 20g of nut butter.

    I think those are the only ones that typically fill me up longer than 3 hours for less than 300 calories.

    Low calorie for me is minimum 250 (anything lower and I feel horrible). The least I will eat is 2 pieces of wheat bread with 2-4 tablespoons of PB2 chocolate peanut butter.

    Grits are good and you can mix them with chicken broth and have a piece of toast. They digest slower so they keep you fuller longer.

    If I am pressed for time, I will add some strawberries, blueberries, and milk with a bit of protein powder into the blender.
