What were your breakfast calories today?

StaciO

Was not feeling really great this morning. Only 180 for me. Quaker intant oatmeal with 1/2 c homemade applesauce.

hungrymarathongirl

Rolled oats cooked with banana slices whipped in and almond milk. 250 calories
Topped with frozen strawberries, sugar free syrup, cinnamon, and a spoon of peanut butter. Around 150

So about 400 calories.

Ohh...that sounds yummy! I will have to try it one monring.

There is NO way I could eat that few calories in the morning, lol.

But then, I exercise in the morning just before I eat most of my breakfast. 1800 net calorie goal + 700 calories burned in exercise = 2500 calories I need to eat that day. I am a big believer in eating as big (and healthy) a breakfast as possible, with lunch next on the list and dinner pretty low in cals. Most of the carbs in the morning and lunch and most of the fat in the evening. Some days I do better at it than others, but I try.

My diary is public, feel free to take a look.

This morning I ate 835 calories. The protein bar before the workout and the rest of it afterward. Then I ate my 2nd banana of the day about an hour later and another banana an hour or two after that.

If you limit the intake of food at night, it is much easier to have a larger breakfast in the morning. For me, any way, I've found that this approach gives me the most energy through out the day and makes it easier for me to get a good nights rest at night.

On the weekdays I have a hard boiled egg before I leave for work, and I eat a apple around 9am at work. 160 calories. Not alot but don't have that much time in the mornings so I eat a large lunch around 350-400 calories.
On the weekends I typically have a large breakfast and smaller lunch. For breakfast I have 2 or 3 scrambled eggs with 100 cal english muffin with some cinnamon or peanut butter on it, or I'll wrap my eggs in a whole wheat tortilla. Depending on how many eggs I use my breakfast averages at around 350 cals.

I eat a big breakfast since I work out early in the morning. At least 400 calories for breakfast up to 600 or so depending on the workout. :bigsmile:

It's always old fashioned oatmeal (150 calories) and it depends on the time of year for the toppings.
Lately it's 1 cup of whole cranberries (60 cals) or
1/2 cup solid pumpkin (40 cals) + (also could be 1/2 cup blueberries, strawberries, or other seasonal fruit)
1/2 (70 cals)- 1 full serving (140) of chocolate Shakeology
2 T. ground flaxseed (60 cals),
1/2 cup cottage cheese (80 cals)
1/4 oz walnuts (50 cals) (or sometimes 1 T. Natural PB- 90 cals)

And I almost always either eat a banana as soon as I wake up or right after my workout (around 90 cals depending on the size of banana).

As my Mom always said, breakfast is the MOST important meal of the day!! So start it off right!!

Oatmeal like a lot of other people, but I have to have brown sugar in mine. 1 cup of oatmeal - 300 calories, 1 cup of 2% organic milk - 122 calories, 2 Tbsp brown sugar - 90 calories, tea - NO CALORIES , 1 tsp white sugar - 15 calories. Totaling 527, ouch! I was eating a larger portion of oatmeal and then cut back in order to cut down on calories...

I broke the bank, so to speak and got a breakfast sandwich from Tim Hortons (bagel, cheese, egg, tomato, lettuce, bacon)

It was 440 calories, but beyond filling.

dmossett

I made a parfait with 1 cup of bran flakes, 1 red raspberry fat free yogurt and 1 cup of fresh strawberries. At 269 calories it fills me up and keeps me going until lunch.

katerinab

Mine is usually 1/2 cup egg beaters plus 1/3 cup Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles. That equals 100 calories. Sometimes I add a laughing cow wedge for 35 extra cal, or sometimes I subtract the sausage and have just the eggs, which is worth 60. So I suppose it ranges from 60-135.
