    Overnight oats - oats, yoghurt, almond milk, whey protein, chia seeds, cacao powder, superfood seed mix, blueberries and strawberries and honey
    650 calories roughly

    That seems to be a lot of calories for Breakfast.

    Depends on the person's calorie budget, which in turn depends on their size, age, activity level, sex, etc. Also depends on whether they like a bigger breakfast, smaller other meals. If it's one third of daily calories, that's a budget of 1950 calories, which is weight loss for some people, maintenance for many.

    I often eat around 650 calories for breakfast as a non-big (5'5"/165cm, 135lb/61kg) 68 year old woman, sedentary outside of exercise, and have maintained a healthy weight for 8 years since loss (from class 1 obese) doing so.

    Obviously, that's not right for every single human, but it's also true that quite a few people cut calories so aggressively low that it's too hard to stay the course, so they crash and burn. I figure whoever achieves their weight management goals on the most calories is winning. ;):flowerforyou:

    Not all that much really.

    I had a small breakfast yesterday before going on a LONG hike:
    • 150 grams plain yogurt: 115 calories (note: one serving is 170 grams; I use less than one serving)
    • 30 grams rolled oats: 119 calories (note: one serving is 45 grams, so again less than a serving)
    • 30 grams raisins: 90 calories (note: one serving is about 45 grams, so again less than a serving)
    • Total about 324 calories, and this is actually a fairly small breakfast.
    • If I had eaten a small (99 gram) avocado, that would have added 232 calories to take it to 556 calories.

    If instead of an alligator pear, I added chia, cacao, berries, and HONEY, I could easily hit 600.

    The day before I had one serving of grits, two eggs, and a pat of butter. That's only about 350 calories. Again - a pretty small breakfast.

    I need to eat more if I'm going to keep being as active as I've been!

    Turkey sausage, egg,cheese on a bagel. Very good, very filling, very high calorie. I could easily have one every day, but that would definitely not help me achieve my goals. I think some foods are no-nos, even in maintenance. Maybe 1/2 this morning's sandwich could be made to fit some way occasionally.
    Coffee with milk.

    Frittata and baked beans with an iced vanilla latte. A staple for me as it keeps me full till my morning protein shake (4hrs).

    Yes... enjoyed a whole name brand bagel for a long time, so 1/2 not quite as emotionally satisfying... switched to the mini bagels.

    Breakfast today, 2 tb pb on crunchy sourdough toast, folded and dipped in coffee with chocolate whey protein powder.

    Sharing a little discovery I’ve made

    I like an Equate (Walmart) brand shake for breakfast most mornings. They’re the least expensive, and good enough. I like the diabetic variety because it’s 180 calories. I’m not really a big fan of breakfast, but I really need to consume something.

    Anyway, recently I’ve been adding a shot of sugar free espresso syrup. So instead of one of the three available flavors, I’m now enjoying chocolate salted caramel, blueberry vanilla, and strawberry banana.
    Huge upgrade!

    Braum's big country breakfast. Been wanting it and resisting for about a week. Coffee with milk.

    Salad with no dressing for the rest of the day if I hope to stay in a deficit. Lol!
