What does "low calorie" mean to you? I have a couple of slices of toast, one with marmite and one with marmalade, that's 277 calories which is about right for me, as I'm on 1200 calories a day.
But without seeing your food diary, it's hard to know what you are allowed for breakfast. Some members can eat 500 calories or even more for breakfast, lucky people!
i can eat 400 calories for breakfast..but i like to keep it under 3000 -
Some food i like in the morning are Yogurt and granola, toast and peanut butter, granola bars.0

During the week, when my morning time is limited, I do coffee with Splenda & 1% milk - with one packet of instant Sugar Free Maple & Brown Sugar oatmeal. This equates to approximately 130 calories - which leaves me plenty of calories for a mid-morning snack of fruit (banana or apple) - putting my morning (breakfast) calories right around 200.
The weekends I reward myself with higher-calorie breakfasts (since it is my favorite meal of the day) and opt for scrambled eggs with turkey bacon and part-skim low moisture shredded moz cheese.
if you like toast & PB, Sara Lee makes a multi-grain bread that is 45 calories/slice. So you could also do 2 slices of that bread with 1 TBS of PB and be under 200 calories.0 -
special k vanilla with almonds.. it's so good!
I agree I love Special K Vanilla and Almond cereal0 -
Egg Beaters or egg whites are my go to protein food for breakfast. I also like oatmeal because it can be so diverse. I've mixed in peanut butter, fruit, whey, honey, agave nectar.0

whole wheat tortilla with peanut butter spreaded on half of it. then slice up a banana and lay it on half the tortilla. then fold tortilla in half and enjoy a scrumptious filling breakfast
Add a little bit of honey to this for extra sweetness. Yum!!0 -
I love bagel thins with weight watchers cream cheese (it has each serving wrapped so no measuring). Some times I add a slice of bacon.
We have chickens so I have an egg sometimes later in the morning as a snack.
Fruit is always good. watermelon is filling and you can eat a lot.0 -
Keep in mind that calories equal energy. You shouldn't shoot for a super low amount of calories for any meal because then you don't give yourself enough energy for that time period. I'd imagine 25% of your daily calories for each of your major 3 meals and the remaining 25% for snacks would be appropriate. That's assuming you do the normal 3 meals a day. So if you're on 1200 calories a day shoot for a healthy and filling 300 calorie breakfast. That should give you enough energy to keep your body going until a snack.0

Nearly everyday, I have a peanut butter banana smoothie and it keeps me full for about 3 hours until I have a mid-morning snack.
Check my food diary for ingredients/portions and add a handful of ice. Yummm! The days I don't have the smoothie, I miss it!!0 -
My normal breakfast is a bagel thin, laughing cow cheese wedge, and 6 slices of turkey... for a whopping 185 calories. Keeps me full for a while.
How did I not know about whole wheat bagel thins???? Just looked them up. They are SO going on my shopping list. Thank you, thank you!0 -
chobani yogurt!
it's also delicious frozen for a dessert alternative0 -
A few of my favorite breakfasts:
Fage 0% greek yogurt mixed with 1/2 cup of Kashi Go Lean Crunch
Kashi Go Lean Crunch with unsweetened almond milk
Two slices pumpernickel or whole wheat bread with no-sugar added natural peanut butter
Egg white and spinach quiche with lots of cayenne pepper, with a slice of whole wheat or pumpernickel bread with a wedge of Laughing Cow swiss cheese.0 -
Sprouts has a great non-fat raisin cinnamon (or apple cinnamon) bread for 50 cal. a slice. I dip 2 slices in 1/4 c. egg beaters (mix in a little cinnamon, Splenda, and vanilla) and fry in a Pam-sprayed pan to make excellent french toast. Top with 1/4 c. sugar-free syrup for a 150-calorie breakfast. Add a couple of slices of Jenni-O turkey bacon (40 calories for 2) and/or fruit if you want a few more calories.0

I'm going to try this! Sounds delish!0

I'm kind of stuck on the same thing. My problem is the opposite... I don't like sweet things in the morning. I don't like cereal very much, granola bars, anything like that. Occasionally I can do some fruit, but it's usually the little citrus fruit cups. My breakfast standard (since I work afternoon into evenings mainly) is turkey bacon, an egg with siracha on a piece of toast with a slice of cheese. I cook them on my electric griddle so I don't need any kind of fats, etc to cook with.
I do like peanut butter, but again, it's sweet, and even the idea of eating something sweet for breakfast makes me gag a little. It's not really a 'don't like', it's more of a 'can't'.
I'd love some more ideas for non-sweet breakfasts!0 -
