What is a typical breakfast for you and cal count?

wombat94

I have 1800 calories planned from MFP and I typically exercise 500 - 600 calories each day - though I don't eat those back.

Breakfast is about 500 calories - almost every day, breakfast is:

1 cup skim milk (86 calories)
1 cup tea (0 calories)
1 packet stevia sweetener (0 calories)
1 cup Post Great Grains Raisin, Date & Pecan cereal (267 calories)
6 oz Chobani Greek yogurt (variety varies by day - typically 140 to 160 calories)

I usually eat a 200-300 calorie breakfast at 6am and I am ALWAYS starving by 10 or 10:30. But I'm starving by 10:30 if I eat a gigantic feast for breakfast or have nothing at all, so I just bring a morning snack to work (usually fruit, yogurt, string cheese, or veggies).

I'll have a smoothie: soy/almond/cow milk + protein powder + flax seed + spinach/kale/lettuce + 70g frozen fruit

or

Omelette: 1 extra large egg + 1/2 oz cheese + 1-2 oz meat (usually whatever is left over from dinner, or deli meat) + spinach/whatever veggies are around

On weekends, I usually treat myself and have pancakes, or wake up late and go straight for lunch!

I typically have a protein shake consisting of unsweetend almond milk and 4EverWhey chocolate isolate protein powder. (163 calories)

On the weekends, I like to make 1/2 cup scrambled egg beaters and 2 pieces of turkey sausage (160 calories), or turkey bacon.

1 c. of Kashi High Protein & High Fiber - 140 cals
1 c. fat free milk - 80 to 90 cals depending on the brand

Sometimes I'll add a banana, but then my calories for breakfast are 300+ and during the week, while at work, I routinely eat 2-3 hours after breakfast...something high in cals/protein, so I don't like to go too crazy on breakfast. Just depends.

Egg whites egg white and more egg whites. I will also have like a morning star breakfast patty with them or mix my egg whites with different veggies. I normally have a calorie count of about 400 for breakfast.

1. 6 oz plain fat free greek yogurt (100 cal), 1/2 small banana (50 cal) 10 strawberries (50 cal), Tbs walnuts (50 cal) Coffee and non fat creamer (50 cal). = 300 calories.

4. 1 light English muffin (90 cal), 2 tbs lowfat cottage cheese (20 cal), 1/2 Tbs Honey (32 cal), 1/2 tsp cinnamon (3 cal), 1/2 small banana (50 cal), Coffee and non fat creamer (50 cal). = 245 calories

5. 1 light English muffin (90 cal), 2 Tbs prepared PB2 (45 cal), 1/2 small banana (50 cal), 2 slice Oscar Mayer shaved turkey breast (15 cal), Coffee and non fat creamer (50 cal). = 250 calories.

One very important key to weight loss is NEVER LET YOURSELF GET HUNGRY. :noway: You have to eat to lose weight. :laugh:
I always take a baggie of fresh veggies to work to curb the appetite.. Also, if I'm not particularly hungry in the morning, I fix my breakfast and may eat half or just a little of it, then eat rest of it a few hours later. Last but never ever least...Drink plenty of water. :drinker:

Hope this helps...Much luck to ya!

lschuttem

i make breakfast my biggest meal- about 400 calories (that leaves about 300 for lunch, 300 for dinner, and 200 for snacks).
I eat about 20g or protein at breakfast because it keeps me full throughout the day so I dont overeat later. A lot of studies have shown that breakfast should be the largest meal and its definitely working for me!
I'll eat breakfast within 30 minutes of waking up, and im not usually hungry til at leat 6 hours later or so (as long as theres lots of protein in my breakfast). I have to force myself to have a lunch or afternoon snack most days.

When I workout in the mornings I burn between 400 and 700 calories... I'm usually parched and short for time so I have coffee + protein smoothie worth about 400 cals total. I bring my oatmeal (1/4cup oats + 2 Tbsp oat bran + 1 Tbsp chia, cinnamon, chopped apple, greek yogurt and some kind of nut/fat) to work and usually eat it around 10:30-11:30am. Keeps me good and full until lunch around 1:30-2pm.

On days when I workout in the evenings, I have my oatmeal for breakfast. With the above recipe + coffee is clocks in at 419 calories.

My daily intake is 1600 + exercise calories. I usually eat between 1800-2200 calories a day, across 6 meals.

Pebble321

Usually around 300 - a bit under or over depending on what I have.
Today was fairly typical for a weekday - a nectarine before my run (60 cals) then porridge with peanut butter and soy protein powder and apple - about 280 cals.
Weekends I'd usually have eggs or cheese on toast or something more substantial - often that's more like brunch than breakfast.

And yes - You should be hungry about 4 hours after fasting throughout the night and then eating a measly 250calories for breakfast.

That sounds perfectly normal.

The answer? Eat when you're hungry A hungry body is a body in need. If you're hungry often, exercise more and eat back your burn. It's just math!

jrrflr

My standard is steel cut oatmeal with raisins and brown sugar. Just under 300 calories. My diary is public if you'd like to check it out.
