jandk09

Im struggling with using up alot of calories just with breakfast alone. Does anyone have any low cal breakfast foods they know of???

Oatmeal! You can buy some calorie controlled sachets too. And that stuff keeps you so full

Also egg white scramble with veggies!

I've started eating porridge for breakfast with about 180ml low fat milk and some sweetener (Canderel). It's only about 110 cals per bowl and it keeps me full for ages. I normally don't like eating early but it's stopping me reaching for the snacks later on.

If I wanted to make it really healthy, I could ditch the sweetener for some blueberries or something. Maybe next week

Eggs are good too!

I have oatmeal every single morning pretty much... But there's nothing wrong with some veges or fruit in the morning! Fruit is best IMO, good amount of carbs & nutrients to give you a little kick of energy to start things off for the day.

A lot of my breakfasts contains eggs. I love omelette's.

My omelette consist of:

3 Egg Whites with 1 Yolk
About 30ml of Skimmed Milk
Some Herbs, Black Pepper and a bit of Salt.
1 Quorn Sausage, cut into pieces and fried.
1 Quarter to 1 Half of a Pepper (Red, Yellow, or Green)
1 Quarter Red Onion
2 Medium Sized Mushrooms

I fry the Quorn Sausage first, and put a little black pepper. I use spray oil for everything just so you know. Not many calories in spray oil. While that's cooking, I start cutting up the veggies into small to medium sized pieces. By the time I have finished cutting them up, the sausage is almost done, put the veggies in and mix it around a bit. While they are frying a bit, I get my 3 egg whites with one yolk into a container, shake it up, put my herbs, black pepper, salt and the 30ml of skimmed milk in. Shake it up again and pour it into the frying pan.

I usually have trouble flipping over the omelette in the frying pan, so I put the grill on, once my omelette is almost done, the top of it moves around like jelly, but isn't too liquidy. Put it under the grill for a bit.

I also have Heinz Baked Beans, Reduced Salt and Sugar version. I have a quarter of the tin which is half of the serving they recommend. Pop them in the microwave for about a minute, take out stir, and pop in for 30 seconds. Take out the omelette and put on the plate. Pour the beans on the side or on the omelette if you want.


There you have it, I managed to calculate all of the nutrition of my omellete and it's only 216 calories, 9g fat, 2g saturated fat, 1g poly fat, 2g mono fat, 19g carbs, 3g fibre, 6g sugar and 47g protein. Adding the Baked Beans will give you more protein and fibre. So it's around a 300 calorie meal I would say.

Oatmeal has too many carbs.

They are good carbs though as they have resistant starch which doesnt get into the blood stream and not digested.

I recommend the carb lovers diet book, its really taught me alot about carbs

I agree I started this journey last year with this book. There's a website too that has info and recipes.

Fiber One Honey Squares is 80 calories per 3/4 of a cup. 40% of the recomended daily fiber. I have 2 servings with a cup of 1% milk which is 110 calories. It tastes great and I feel full.

I remember when I lived in the states they had Kashi Go Lean (whichever one had like 9g of protein) and it was like 140 cal for a cup, and was packed with fibre too.

In aus we have Artisan foods Cinnamon spelt flakes which are only 160 cal a cup, also with fibre and protein

Otherwise there are plenty of fibre cereals out there that boast a ridiculously low cal content, but high in fibre and protein

I have a smoothy, a banana a strawberry and some half fat milk, throw it in the liquidiser, you can add 1/2 a spoon of sugar if you really need it, I don't use sugar thou

I need carbs for exercise. Oatmeal certainly wins for me!

If you don't like the consistentsy of them you can try soaking them in milk/water overnight, this will really soften them and make them creamy when you cook them the next day?
Omelettes are great for being high protein and therefore filling - however, I find the goodness and the taste is in the yolk! You can have a two egg omellette with a generous 200g mushroom content for under 200 cals using spray cooking oil. x

I just tried for the first time this morning, Kashi go lean crunch. Honey almond flax. Very good. Says as much protein as an egg.
9 grams of protein per serving. 8 grams of fiber. Works for me.

Well, what do you LIKE and how much time do you have in the mornings? Lots of time I'm running out the door with peanut butter on whole wheat bread with a piece of fruit for when I get to work. On weekends I do an omelet. The past few days I've been having Advocare Meal Replacement Shakes. I just stay away from empty calories...otherwise eat what you LIKE.

This is ridiculous. Oatmeal is wonderful, especially if it isn't instant.
See my picture, I eat like two servings of oatmeal a day, hasn't screwed me up.

Sunrise tofu desserts (90 cal/portion - flavours such as banana, custard, coconut, almond), with cut up fruits or berries. Love it!

I used to always eat 1/2c Kashi Go Lean, goat cheese crumbles, and 1/2c blueberries. Filling and it was so good. This way I got some fruit and tons of protein in every morning.

It does have a lot of carbs, but I lost the majority of my weight (100+ pounds) eating weight controll oatmeal and healthy cereal every morning, and even for dinners a lot of nights. Everyone is different.

richardaness

I'm not a big fan of many breakfast foods so just eat something that you like...turkey on whole wheat, brown rice and ground chicken, veggies and hummus all have been on my breakfast table. Just a thought...

Fruit!!!

Oatmeal has too many carbs.

You have to remember that oatmeal is a carb that takes a lot of work for your body to digest, that means that it sticks around longer in your stomach which is why you feel full, also don't forget that when your body has to work harder at digesting your food it is actually burning calories. Thats why this it's so popular.
