Low calorie filling breakfasts?

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"?0
-
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 whites0

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.0

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.0

For me it's 4 hard boiled eggs and a bowl of strawberries. Under 400 calories...0

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.1 -
Oatmeal + cottage cheese + fish oil. Fiber and oil keep you full, lots of long-burning protein and complex carbs.
Whole wheat toast + peanut butter.0 -
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.
1 -
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.0 -
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.0
