I'm not really an egg fan, but I made an egg fritata/cassarole that is fabulous, filling and reheats perfectly!
I use simply shredded potato's (half the package 1.5c), 6 eggs, whatever meat and veggies I have on hand and usually monterey jack cheese. Throw it all in a glass pan, cook for 30-45 minutes at 350. Let it cool for about half an hour then cut it into even portions and place each piece in a tupperware container.
I think microwave for 1.5 minutes, and it keeps me full until around 11:30 each day (I do breakfast around 7 daily). Calories (depends on meat and veggies used) range from 230 - 300 calories per helping. The recipe builder with MFP helps me calculate depending on how I make it each week.0 -
I seen this great idea for making single portion quiches in a muffin pan. I haven't tried it yet because I don't have a muffin pan but all you do is fill up each muffin with an egg and vegies and a lean meat. and maybe some cheese if you want. I think its a great way to get creative and can be made at the beginning of the week. or get yourself one of those microwave egg mcmuffin cookers and make them one at a time. I do this currently. only takes a few minutes. eggs are great sources of protein and vegies are great carbs. both keep you full longer. My usual go to is quick oats but occasionally I switch it up.0

Pancakes
1/2 cup of oats
1 egg
3/4 cup of egg whites
handful of blueberries (or your fav berry)
Cinnamon
Make two big pancakes, top with low cal/no sugar syrup and more Cinnamon. I eat them just about every morning and find them very filling and very good!0 -
Homemade granola. Makes a big amount, store in a large jar or covered container. 1/3 cup (about 227 calories) keeps me pretty satisfied all morning: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/edit/51191696 You can add or delete whatever fruit/nuts you like.

Lazy grab and go breakfast to prep the night before (or several nights before)
1/4 cup steel cuts oats (150 cal)
1 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt (130 cal)
Mix-Ins (??? cal)
If it's too thick, add in a splash of almond milk, but for me the thicker the better.
Depending on my meal plan for the day, I might add in fruit, nuts, protein powder (warning: pasty!), or just some spices (cinnamon, nutmeg)
All this gets jammed into a mason jar to portion out in advance, with mix-ins on top to avoid soaking too much.0 -
HI! I make a fruit smoothie with skim milk, fat free greek yogurt, a banana and frozen summer berries. Comes in at 155 cals. I read somewhere that smoothies and homemade soups keep you fuller for longer as the food has already been blizted. I have this at 7:30, followed by 100grams of seedless green grapes at 11 and this keeps me going through a12.30 workout. Enjoy!0

6 eggs worth of egg beaters
3 slices Boars Head american cheese
6-8 oz grilled skinless boneless chicken breast diced real small
2 slices turkey bacon diced
2 turkey sausage patties diced
mix the 3 meats completely, make a killer big azz lean meat and cheese omelette .....
about 1000 cal, and 120g protein almost no carbs, and if this don't fill you up, nothing will ...LOL...
I usually eat one of these right after a very heavy gym session ...
And hey.... you never said it had to low cal .... you just said filling ......0 -
so many awesome ideas! I try to keep my breakfast under 300 cals. I do 1 egg with toast with coffee - but I tend to be hungry by lunch time. If I skip toast, I add another egg and I scramble it with feta cheese and basil. Protein keeps me the most full. I might add cottage cheese to this mix. Yesterday I did by a breakfast sandwich at the coffee shop (I think it was like 450 cals) but if I made it at home I can cut the cals I am sure. I saw turkey sausage patties at the store - I might check those out!0

I usually have cottage cheese and fruit. I eat at 7am and usually takes care of me until lunch around 12...although I'm definitely hungry when it's time for lunch.0

I made a casserole last night for dinner that actually tasted like it would make an awesome breakfast if you add some scrambled eggs to it. I added:
couscous
corn
spinach
broccoli
apple smoked chicken sausage
and topped with cheddar cheese
Super good and reallyyyyyy easy!0 -

My favorite breakfast food is an egg white, brown rice, chicken or ham breakfast burrito. You will get the right amount of carbs, protein, and fats!0
