Hi Everyone,
I need ideas for my breakfast. Preferably warm breakfast and it doesn't have to be clean eating. Some days I eat instant oatmeal, some days honey bunches of oats cereal and other days I do mix it up and eat bacon, sausage and egg and French banquette for breakfast. I'm easily bored so if you don't mind please share either your screenshots or just type what you eat for breakfast with measurements that is less than 500 calories.

Thanks in advance.

    I'm afraid my breakfast is a little too unconventional but I'll give it a go...might be inspiration anyway.
    It's:
    150g egg whites (cooked in a non-stick pan) or 1 can tuna in brine or 100g of whatever cooked seafood
    plus
    40g oat bran (weighted dry, then I cook it with a little water so it's like oatmeal)
    plus
    a big bowl containing half a can (about 100-120g) of chickpeas/lentils/peas and a mix of raw and cooked veggies up to the remining 450-500 calories. One of my fav is cooking 3-4 grated carrots with a little tomato sauce and using it as a salad dressing so I don't add fats to it.
    As I said, not really normal to have salad for breakfast but I love it.

    No pic because I'm lazy. These are my faves.

    Avocado toast: 1 slice toast, half an avocado, 1-2 sunny side up eggs on top, hot sauce to finish. So dang good.

    Flatout roll: 1 wheat flatout bread, 30g of peanut butter, 1 banana

    Egg scramble: 3 eggs, 1 hot sausage, some avocado

    I save calories by not using butter or cheese.

    Cereal in a big bowl of milk. I might go crazy sometimes and buy a different kind of cereal.

    One cup of Friendly Farms Greek vanilla yogurt from Aldi's and one cup of Kashi vanilla graham clusters cereal. Only 330 calories and it keeps me full till lunch. I specified the Aldi's Greek yogurt because its the only one I've found to be any good. All of the others are too thick and pasty for me. Feels like I'm eating glue.

    2 cups of coffee+50ml of skimmed or semi-skimmed milk; 2 slices of whole wheat sandwich bread+15g peanut butter+15g jam. These add up to less than 300 kcals in my diary.

    I boil eggs and keep them in the fridge for the week. - I toast 2 pieces Nichols Wheat Bread (70 cal); use a little bit of spray butter (0 calories); cut up a hard boiled egg (72 cal) and a little bit of pepper and hot sauce (0 cal) - make a sandwich ... I don't eat a lot of meat, so I need protein from the eggs :)

    lol. Okay, well, it was under 500, so I'll share. It's a weird one today.

    I had a cup of cooked short-grain rice augmented with 1/2 tsp sriracha and 1/2 tsp toasted sesame seeds. And then I stopped at McDonald's on the way to work and got a small decaf black coffee and a hash brown patty.

    That's 410 calories and 360mg sodium.

    Two breakfasts I've been enjoying:
    savory oats: steel cut oatmeal, with spinach, mushrooms and an egg.

    Vanns whole grain waffles with peanut butter and sugar free syrup

    Both stick to my ribs pretty well

    When I'm working, and in a hurry, it's usually one of these:
    - 40g Branflakes + 100ml Unsweetened Almond Milk + 75g chopped banana + 25g Blueberries.
    - 2 slices of granary toast, and spread with 30g hummus

    At weekends or when I have a bit more time:
    - 2 x Veggie Sausages and 30g of sauteed mushrooms on a wholemeal roll

    All served with either black or green tea. Because I'm British, and that's the law. ;)

    This is my typical workday breakfast: one whole wheat waffle spread with 1 T. reduced sugar peanut butter. One hard boiled egg and one with just the egg white for extra protein, and a serving of fruit (I mix it up). Usually works out to be about 350 calories

    I don't do pictures well.

    A burrito with 2 eggs and 2 ounces of turkey on an Ole Xtreme Wellness tortilla with a bit of saute'ed onion, jalapeno, and salsa with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese topping comes in at 300 calories.

    A protein shake with 4 ounces of whole milk kefir and 50 grams of Body Fortress chocolate powder is 280 calories.

    A sandwich of one egg, one piece of bacon, and 60 grams of homemade wheat bread with sriracha is about 290 calories, varying according to how you cut your homemade bread and how much sriracha you put on it.

    • Two eggs over medium
    • Two thin sliced bacon strips or ~60g ham or some other piece of hog meat.

    • One pat of butter
    • 11.25oz coffee with three splenda packets

    Premade and frozen: 12 eggs scrambled, 1 pkg frozen spinach, chopped zucchini, peppers, onions and garlic. Sautee all veggies together and squeeze water out of them in a strainer. Line a baking sheet with tin foil and spray with cooking spray. Mix scrambled eggs and veggies on tray. Bake until set. Cut into squares. Take an english muffin or bagel thin, place one egg square, 1 great value frozen turkey sausage patty, one slice cheddar cheese. Wrap in parchment paper and tin foil. Microwave when ready to eat. About 400 calories and absolutely delicious.

    Diced Blends - Breakfast potatoes, 0.67 cup 120
    Eggland's Best - Large - Grade A, 2 egg (50g) 120

    Diced Blends are these pouches of potatoes that come preseasoned with butter and you just pop it in the microwave to make. I split the bag into serving sizes after making it and each morning I take one serving and fry it up with two eggs and it's super yummy. I usually pair it with a flavored water or cup or coffee or tea, depending on my mood and they come in a lot of different flavors so I don't really get bored.

    I am finding that it's not as filling as I'd like though, but considering it's less than 300 calories I don't feel like adding another protein or carb will be a problem, I just need to find something I want to go with it.

    Roasted red potatoes (7 oz), onions, and Brussels sprouts (1cup) topped with poached egg. I season the potatoes with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili or cayenne pepper. ~400

    Jasmine rice (1 cup cooked), 2 soft boiled eggs, sauteed spinach, 1/4 of a sliced avocado, soy and sriracha to taste ~450

    Large wheat soft taco shell (130), shredded reduced-fat cheese (100), seasoned black beans (150), scrambled egg (73), salsa (5-10) ~ 455

    This is pretty typical. Depending on how I've planned the day, there could be an extra egg and crispbread included. Yesterday I ate at maintenance for my son's birthday dinner, so today is about 150 calories lighter than usual.

    My breakfast is usual a combination of 1-2 of the following:
    - hard-boiled egg, cut in half on top of arepa or crackers with some dijon mustard or honey mustard
    - Yogurt (sometimes with fruit pieces) with some jam and granola and/or part of a Clif bar
    - Cottage cheese with a little jam and crackers/arepa
    (typically 240-290 calories)

    My go-to breakfast for the last two years - keeps me full until lunch, and with calories to spare for a soy latte (homemade).

    I do also like rice, fried with cabbage & leeks, a couple of rashers of bacon, chopped up, and two fried eggs on top. Just over 400 calories.
