    Has anyone UK based got some quick cheap and cheerful breakfast ideas that do not use up most of daily calories allowance?

    And that does nto involved English sausages (yukkk - sorry, ALL of them).

    My fav breakfast , when put into here clocked up nearly 300 calories and that gave me a real fright....

    Thanks for any ideas...

    I'm down on the South Coast, but as for breakfast, a programme I was on over 30 years ago, which was brilliant, insisted on protein at every meal... and you were only allowed 4 eggs a week .... so a lowcal option I have stuck with ever since is cottage cheese, with toast and Marmite (OK you might hate that!) - but you can get all the cottage cheese with.... and a small tub usually lasts me about 5days. That keeps me going till lunchtime!
    Hope you find some more local people - I find this site brilliant, and a big help in making me aware of just how many cals there are in things - I've only been on 2weeks and am 8 lbs down - grrrreat!

    300 calories for breakfast is not bad seeing as you are supposed to eat 1200 or above if you're exercising x

    I see you like houmous so why not make your own

    I use a can a chick peas some tahini garlic and lemon juice - that is a little thick (as there is no olive oil in it) so if it is too thick as a spoon of water and mix well - if you like chunky houmous use a masher if you like it smooth a hand blender or a food processor

    if you use the recipe maker on here you can easily work out the calories

    to that and to make it go further I often add some roasted aubergine

    obviously a bit of lemon zest is good with chopped coriander

    just experiment

    Hi I'm from east London.

    Unfortunately I'm not there anymore. Now I'm in Canada. LOL

    Oh well. I might go over this summer and then I might be in East London for a few minutes during my visit. (I'm assuming Lambeth and Camberwell are in East London). - I've been here a long time.

    NO exercise at all - apart from walking my 40kg of a dog (german Shepherd)
    May dust the stepper tonight..... if I manage to get it out from the cupboards, from under about 60kg of cat tfood which in itself should be an exercise, no?
    MAY got for a zumba class tomorrow as they are starting literaly 2 min walk from me......

    Can not run, really can not - lots of reasons...

    What about you?

    And everyone else?

    I used to hate running but over the last year have built up from running a meter or 2 to having done a 10 miles run around Layton ad surrounding areas lol. Also do biking climbing and weights x
