English muffin = 130
2 slices of ham = 60
1 slice of cheese = 70

for a total of 260 calories, slapped in a toaster over for about 4 minutes. I have that three days a week, and oatmeal the other two.

I'm crazy about Thomas Light Muffins toasted and spread with a triangle of Laughing Cow cheese. The muffin is around 100 calories and the triangle of cheese is only 35 calories. Satisfying and reminds me of a bagel with cream cheese.

vmclach

hard boiled eggs 2- 140 calories
or
oatmeal- usually between 120-160 per serving

add a piece of fruit 50-100 calories.
BINGO. BREAKFAST!

1/2 c Plain Fage Total 0% Greek Yogurt (65 cal)

chergarr73

1/4 cup whole oats cooked with 1/2 cup water...it only takes 5 minutes in the microwave...then I add a granny smith apple chopped, 1 Tbsp chopped pecans or walnuts and 1/2 tsp cinnamon... super filling....I usually can't finish it!m - 238 calories...

I really enjoy the Slim Fast 3-2 -1 - Sweet & Salty Chocolate Almond Meal Bar. It's 200 calories, 9 grams of protein, 23 carbs, 5 grams of fiber, and 8 grams of fat.

bbysars

2 egg whites
4 mushrooms
40g spinach
1 tblspn salsa

it's about 80 calories and delicious, you can add more veggies to make it more filling too.

TheAnie

2 eggos, blueberry or plain: 190 calories.
I also like the chocolate chip ones for 200.

And this does keep me full till lunch, but I was never a morning eater anyways. I make myself eat breakfast because my weight moves better when I get three real meals. Sometimes I'll have one eggo and banana and I find that keeps me full a lot longer.

We also like to make smoothies. Low calorie, healthy, and usually a good chunk of my fiber for the day.

I like a thin bun for 100 calories toasted with a tablespoon of peanut butter.

chiefsgal27

I like the kellogs protein drinks or special meal bar. Both are filling!

I like omletes loaded with veggies, like spinach, mushrooms, peppers, etc. If I'm hungry, I like toast using sandwich thins to keep calories down. Really filing.

Otherwise, other than a mix of low fat vanilla yogurt, fage 0% greek yogurt and any fruit I want (with total or granola) I'm usually eating the baked oatmeal from SkinnyTaste.com. My kids really like when I modify the recipe with bananas and strawberries. I usually serve it with 1/4 cup yogurt.

emdeegan

One cup of frozen blueberries with two tablespoons of golden flax meal sprinkled on top... Plus coffee with cream and sugar.. High fiber, low cal, tasty and filling! 215 cals

DarlingThief

Look up Hungry Girl egg mugs. They're usually quick and very filling.

deseablev

I love egg whites
So egg whites with light wheat toast or light wheat english muffin
You can add veggies (i.e. peppers, onions, and tomatoes) to that and fat free sliced cheese
or can do an egg white omelete
thin wheat bagel with fat free cream cheese (I actually like the weight watchers whipped cream cheese)
luna protein bar when i'm running late
oatmeal

kimtpa1417

100 calorie thomas english muffin 1 turkey sausage patty and 1 slice of cheese. 220 calories and filling. I also like oatmeal or greek yogurt

I like these and I keep them on hand so I can have a choice each day : Kashi frozen blueberry waffles-150 cals, Thomas bagel thin (1) cinnamon raisin-110 cals, Honey maid low fat honey grahams(2) 140 and added one tbsp. of Kettle creamy unsalted organic peanut butter to the bagel thin or the honey grahams for only 80 calories. I also like a hard boiled egg occasionally with a piece of 35 calorie wheat bread toasted and one tbsp. of Welch's reduced sugar grape jelly (20 calories) and a few strawberries or grapes. And of course theres wheaties 1/2 cup for 130 calories. I always have to have my coffee in the morning to:happy:

Most of the expert advise out there now is saying "high protein" breakfast. The magic number being 30 grams. Your body has the whole day to burn calories from breakfast.

I made some breakfast burritos, eggs or egg subsistute, low cal tortillas med. size, veggies (onion, red and yellow bell peppers) lightly sauted, any type of fillings you like even black beans, ham sliced up, for options. Mine came out to be 100 calories each, and I made a huge batch so that I wrapped in plastic wrap and bag them to freeze and pop into microwave.

Even have them for lunch, low cal salsa, fat free sour cream......pretty good.

I like plain yogurt with some fruit in it. I often just add blue berries

frugalmomsrock

1 c. fresh baby spinach, chopped
1/2 c. diced peppers
1 egg
2 egg whites (or 1/3 cup all whites egg replacer)
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp cumin

Beat all but the veggies together. Add the spinach and peppers. Put in round microwavable bowl, and microwave 3 1/2-4 minutes. Top with 1 TBSP finely shredded reduced fat cheese if you wish. Serve with a piece of fruit for about 260 calories of YUM!

Before bed, put 1/2 c. frozen blueberries, 1 c. almond milk (or whatever kind of milk you like, but almond milk is lower in calories), and 1/2 c. oats or 1/4 c. of steel cut oats. Cover and place in refrigerator. In the morning, stir and enjoy--either cold or slightly warmed.

I'm having this little gem tomorrow, and I'm hoping it tastes as amazing as it looks: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/499785-1-minute-clean-berrylicious-microwave-minute-muffin

Thats so true, I never thought of it that way. But I too try to keep my breakfast calories on the low side.

jademh

to stay filled, you need protein.

try a whey protein shake mixed with some chocolate milk.

the protein shake i buy from GNC is called amp wheybolic or something like that and because i'm a girl i was advised by the staff only take one scoop for weight loss (men take 3) and one scoop is only 93 calories. mixed with a cup of skim milk which is 90 calories. eat a little fruit or oatmeal etc on the side and you will stay full, trust me

musikalmami237

I LOVE scrambling up some egg whites and tossing in all kinds of veggies and also things like deli turkey and low cal cheese with some nature's own 40 calorie bread on the side... yum! The eggs can be done in under 100 calories by themselves Keeps me full for awhile! And sometimes I'll also have oatmeal on the side with it if I'm really hungry.

josephchristy24

how low are you looking to go with your calories. i do two eggs two slices of toast sara lea 45 calories per slice lightly buttered and light jam eggs have 70 calories per eggs the total amount is about 260

soccerella

Natures own 40 calorie 9 grain bread (40 cals)
Jimmy Dean - Hearty Sausage Crumbles (Turkey) (Fully Cooked) 60% Less Fat, 1/3 cup ( 40 cals)
Kraft singles 2% (45 calories)

toast the bread, top with everything else and microwave about 20 seconds

Sometimes I scramble some egg whites too ...but its really yummy either way!

dperich1968

My typical breakfast. A three egg omelet with spinach, mushrooms, onions, garlic, whole fat cream, cooked in coconut oil, and three or four strips of turkey bacon. That will do me till lunch.
You are killing yourself with the grains. Read a book called "Wheat Belly" by Dr. William Davis. It will change your life.
I've lost 153 pounds in the past 24 months.

Find out why you should be living a low carb high fat lifestyle. Read my blog for my story.

Just because I have grains for breakfast does not mean I eat only grains We need fiber, I think I'll survive.

However, I will look into this because you have intrigued me :happy:
