Easy and filling breakfast

Carflea

Good Morning Everyone,

I'm getting really bored wil what I choose for breakfast. Does anyone want to share their fav. Breakfast?

Thanks!

ChantalGG

I just eat cereals, raisin bran, musleix, kashi go lean, oat meal, and mini wheats. i am getting bored of this though. I might make some eggs tomorrow. I picked up a carton of egg whites.

I love english muffins with egg whites and cheese breakfast sandwhich, 1/2 cup of blueberries and 1cup of strawberries and a glass of silk soy milk....mmmm. Easy to make and filling, I am eating that right now.

I find that egg whites, with some tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach and/or feta in a whole wheat wrap tends to be pretty filling. If you don't have the tomatoes/mushrooms, etc. to toss in, just keep a jar of salsa handy -- that usually does well in a pinch! And it's all super fast/easy to make. Takes only about 5 minutes tops.

Super time saver: slice & dice all your veggies, etc. in advance and keep in baggies -- this way always handy/can just grab when needed.

mmmmmm... Steel cut oats (1 cup cooked--- 1/4 cup uncooked) with 2 slices of apples (skinned and chopped up) and 1 packet of Truvia zero calorie sweetener. DELICIOUS!

Boil 1 cup water. Add 1/4 cup steel cut oats. Cook about 15 minutes on low or until desired consistency. Add apples (or other fruit- Strawberries are really good too!) and then mix in a packet of Truvia

all for under 200 calories! Enjoy!

M-F I eat FF yogurt and a piece of fruit. On the weekends I make scrambled eggs with leftover veggies and potatoes. I buy the diced potatoes in the can, drain the water and fry them in a skillet with only using Pam. Then I sprinkle them with cheese.

My standard breakfast usually includes 1/2 cup all bran, 1 shredded wheat muffet, 1 cup skim milk and then 1 cup of fruit (usually blueberries or raspberries) sprinkled with lots of cinnamon. Not terribly exciting but it's quick and tasty.

My favorite easy breakfasts are:

whole wheat english muffin with a poached egg, cheese, and one sice of bacon - YUM! An egg mcmuffin at home!
frozen waffles with strawberry cream cheese - by far the easiest thing to do...plus, you can take it to go!

I just started making this breakfast that is TO DIE FOR. I use the kroger brand break free egg whites, chopped red peppers, mushrooms, and make scrambled eggs with them. then i toast healthy life whole wheat bread that is only 35 calories a slice with no high fructose corn syrup and some raspberries. look in my food diary if you want, I've had it for breakfast the past 2 mornings and all togethers it's under 150 calories. and super filling! did i mention it's the best breakfast ever?!?!

MartiJJohnston

Almost every M-F I have 3 egg whites with a "sprinkle" of cheese, all natural salsa, and jalapenos. LOVE IT! And only around 75-80 calories (depending on the amount of cheese).

Now I'm hungry and going to get it! :bigsmile:

Yum! I like steel cut oats with dried cherries, cinnamon, and a dash of brown sugar.

Also (kinda strange) Dannon Light Lemon yogurt mixed with Kashi Go Lean cereal, almonds, and raspberries. High fiber - high protein.

I usually eat smart ones breakfast items, great value(or Jimmy dean) turkey sausage bowls, or flavored fat free greek yogart. They are all very yummy and filling. I sometimes splurge and get Subway for breakfast

i eat oatmeal every single morning, and to keep it interesting, i keep experimenting with tons of different combinations of add-ins like frozen fruits, applesauce, canned pumpkin, protein powder, cinnamon, spices, and flavoring extracts (maple flavor and almond are both great). i always prepare the oatmeal in the microwave with extra water (so the protein has something to stir into after cooking) and i almost never add any sugar or sweeteners. they always clock in right around 300-320 calories for a HUGE steaming and satisfying bowl. i have also made savory oatmeal with scrambled egg white, cajun seasoning, and shredded cheddar cheese, but my favorite "recipes" are usually oatmeal versions of cobblers, pies, or cookies! (think: chocolate protein powder, macadamia nuts, and cranberries.)

some of my favorite combinations so far:
-canned pumpkin, walnuts, maple extract, tons of cinnamon with some pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla protein powder
-coconut flavor extract, frozen unsweetened strawberries, and strawberry protein powder
-applesauce, hershey's special dark baking cocoa (just a tiny amount), cinnamon, walnuts, almond extract, and chocolate protein powder

i made a new one this morning that i wasn't sure about, but it turned out awesome. i added frozen raspberries, tons of cinammon, vanilla protein powder, a touch of splenda brown sugar and anise flavoring. the possibilities are truly endless! my oatmeal is usually my favorite meal of the day.

BlessedMomX2

1/2 cup of grapes
1/4 cup eggbeaters
Splash of tobasco
1 piece of toast
1/2 glass of OJ

All for 180 cals!


I also love frozen waffles

Avaell

Make 2/3 cup(measured dry) old fashion rolled oats, cook in microwave with water or boil water and let it sit with lid. Once cooked add 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce and 1 TBSP sugar free maple flavoured syrup(Like the ED smith one) and mix. Approx 248 cal, but it energizes you and fills you up. You can add a side of fruit or cup of coffee/tea to that.

What kind of oatmeal do you use?

sbwood888

whole wheat english muffin with Morningstar Farms veggie sausage patty

also might sound boring, but oatmeal with cinnamon and splenda is really delicious--I use the old fashioned oats.

eating4balance

In honor of the summer months, I either have a veggie omelet or a yogurt parfait. The calories in each can vary from 150 to 300 calories depending on what you put in them.

Veggie Omelet: (200 calories when paired with 100 calories of almonds)
- 1/2 cup egg beaters
- 2 Tbsp diced onion
- 1 mushroom diced
- 1/4 cup tomato diced (I use grape tomatoes)
- 2 Tbsp celery diced
- 1/4 cup peppers diced
- You can also add fat free cheese, turkey bacon or deli meats, but that adds a lot of sodium

Yogurt Parfait: (about 200 calories)
- 1/2 cup plain nonfat greek yogurt topped or layered with...
- 2 large strawberries, diced
- 1/4 cup kashi go lean cereal
- 2 Tbsp almond slices (or about 14 grams)

This is so yummy i"ve been eating it every morning for breakfast for about a month - 1/2 cup cooked steel cut oats with 1 tsp each seseame seeds, sesame oil, soy sauce, and chili sauce, topped with one egg cooked in cooking spray. If I have green onion, I add that to the mix, too. Noms!!

This is 240 cals, and it fills me up until lunch :happy:

KimbersNewLife

My favorite that is very filling is a serving of oatmeal with a piece of whole grain toast with a tablespoon of peanut butter yummy and keeps me very full and statified until lunch!

i buy the huge tub of ralston quick cooking oats, and i use a half cup of oats with 1.5 cups water as the base. in my microwave, 2:20 is the perfect time to boil the oatmeal, but leave some hot water to mix in the protein after cooking.

ajsdream

This week it's two waffles toasted with 1 Tbsp natural peanut butter spread between them. Then I slice up a banana to put on top and drizzle sugar free syrup over it all. It's a little high in calories, but I only usually eat 3 meals a day.

dreamtoned10

This morning I made a smoothie.... Low fat (1.5%) yoghurt, raspberries,blueberries and some tesco brand (Uk/Ireland) fruit juice. Kept me full until lunch and low kcals!

k8edge

One full egg
Two egg whites
Scrambled...

I add fresh herbs and sometimes basil pesto... YUM

I also top with diced tomatoes or bruchetta...

Another good and easy one is
Two Egg Whites
1 Slice of Cheese
1 Slice of Turkey Bacon
1 low fat English muffin - toasted

It is pretty good!

My standard breakfasts:

1. A slice of real bread (from the bakery - mine makes whole-wheat sourdough, German-style rye or rustic French bread, which I like) or an English muffin, toasted if it's older than a day or so, with one of these: cottage cheese (with ground black pepper and maybe a tomato on the side), hummus, peanut butter, a sliced hard-boiled egg.
2. Oatmeal made with half water, half milk with frozen blueberries stirred in while cooking.
3. Greek yogurt (2% Fage Total plain, 0% Chobani strawberry or blueberry or black cherry) covered with applesauce, a teaspoon of cinnamon and a tablespoon of wheat germs.

I aim for a good portion of protein in my breakfast and altogether maybe 350 calories, give or take.

I like to do egg/egg whites for breakfast.

This week I have been doing either hard boiled eggs. Or I do one egg scrambled (in the microwave -- I am not quick in the mornings, so I actually make and eat my breakfast at work), pre-cooked turkey bacon, a 50 cal whole wheat tortilla and a wedge of laughing cow cheese. My own little low-cal breakfast taco.

A couple weeks ago I was set on the egg white scramble. Just did two egg whites in a tupperware in the microwave for 45 seconds, added a Morningstar Farms veggie sausage patty (crumbled) and Laughing Cow Cheese. Also yummy.

bmw4deb

I use 1/4 cup egg whites scramble with 1/6 cup of lowfat mozzarelli cheese
and 4 pices of cut up turkey peperoni. 1/2 of a bagel thin with 1 tsp of fatfree
cream cheese and 1 tsp of smuckers sugar free jam. and a 1/2 cup of cold
no sugar added apple sauce.
All for 225 calories.my favorite, I try and have once a week

I tried the steel cut oats, and something tasted funny about them. Now I think that I just needed some more flavor. I made Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats(which only take 4 minutes longer than the Quick Oats). I cut apples into it before I started cooking it. Then I added just a little chopped walnuts, some brown sugar and cream. Yes, cream. I measured everything, making sure it was under 400 calories. I think it ended up being around 350. Normally I have a snack before lunch, and that day I made it all the way to lunch without snacking.

I try to change my breakfasts up to keep from getting boring. Here is one that is never boring for me, but it costs too much to eat everyday: Deep Chocolate Vitamuffin top with 1 Tb peanut butter, and half a banana. With half a glass of milk, I think that is around 300-350 calories.

Or I eat an egg on toast with milk. Sometimes with butter, sometimes not.

Or a smoothie. The more banana you use the sweeter it will be, and you might not need extra sweetener. I usually use banana, berries, milk, and ocassionally I add a little Meijer's Organic French vanilla creamer.

Sometimes I do peanut butter, banana milk and cocopowder, frozen bananas of course.

Or, frozen fruit and orange juice, but usually I like it with milk.

kristinathenina

my favorite is a breakfast burrito

3 egg whites with 1/2 tsp southwest seasoning (mrs.dash)- scrambled in microwave
94% fat free whole wheat tortilla (70 cal) heated 30 seconds in microwave
2 tbls fat free cheddar
1/4 cup fat free refried bean-heated
2 tbls chunky salsa

spread beans all over tortilla, layer egg whites, cheese and salsa in the middle, roll and enjoy. I make this for my fiance and he loves it (his is 2 whole eggs instead of whites and more cheese)

with fat free cheese its under 200 calories, with light its around 220
