Show me your breakfast! (Under 400 cal)

Tcormie

I must admit i'm amazed at how many people have eggs in the AM. The fat and cholesterol are daunting at best. I do a whole wheat english muffin (dry) 1/4 cup egg beaters or just a microwaved egg white, sometimes with a turkey sausage patty, comes in under 300 calories. Sometimes a Protein shake 5 frozen strawberries comes in under 200, fiber one cereal a couple times a week with skim 260 for the honey nut stuff and under 200 for the original.

Wow, I need to get adventerous. My typical morning is 1 cup of Cheerios or 3/4 cup of Honey Nut Cheerios with 1/2 cup of 1% milk. Sometimes I'll add a few strawberries on the side for fun (can't mix my foods - it weirds me out).

My go to breakfasts are:

Breakfast burrito with egg, turkey crumbles, cheese, salsa, green onion in a wrap or tortilla (223 calories)
Breakfast pizza - hash browns, eggs, cheese, bacon baked in pie pan (234 calories)
Steel cut oats with sliced almonds and brown sugar splenda (255 calories)
English muffin with peanut butter and sliced banana (300 calories)
Baked oatmeal with strawberry and banana (224 calories)
Poached egg over bacon on english muffin and hash browns (328 calories)
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cheerios mixed together with almond milk (under 200 calories)

I have these over and over again with something difference every once in a while. There's enough variety for me; I haven't gotten bored with these choice yet. I make the pizza and baked oatmeal and put in the freezer so I can grab and go. Same with the burritos; I always have 6-8 of those in the freezer. I fill in with fruit or juice, chia seeds, nuts, other stuff if I'm feeling hungry. But usually just have one of the above and then have something mid-morning for a snack.

I have a Sara Lee English Muffin (90 calories), 1/2 of a large scrambled egg, Oscar Mayer Microwave Bacon (2 pieces) for 35 calories, and a tbsp of shredded cheddar cheese. Yum and only 200 calories! I always throw in some grapes in case I do get hungry before lunch. I've also used turkey sausage instead of bacon and it changes the calories slightly more than 200 but it's still filling.

Eggs have gotten a bad rap! They're not bad by themselves - they're full of protein. It's how they are cooked, how often they are consumed and what people do them that make them bad.

Yep - That's why I switched recently eating only the whites from hard boiled eggs 17 cals & 4g of protein

I like to get the Perfect Oatmeal from Starbucks and it's 390 calories. It comes with brown sugar, dried fruit, and nuts. I usually get a latte too, so definitely don't do that if you want to stay under 400. I'm not trying to lose weight yet though, I just got on here to find out what my typical calories were and I've been shocked!

Who has time to cook breakfast??? I'm always running out the door and doing my makeup in the car! (I carpool so it's okay, I'm not driving lol)

250 calories...maybe not the healthiest choice but I go to Arby's for breakfast and grab an egg and cheese biscuit and only eat half of the biscuit.

Toasted Bagel with peanut butter and 1/2 sliced banana on top!

SlimSammy2012

<~~Drinks a Soy Protein Shake with Skim Mild....About 175 Cals. I don't get hungry and have my morning snack (160cals) at 10:30 AM or so....Lunch is either a plain salad, Ceral and Skim Milk (Under 300 Cals) an Afternoon snack (160 Cals) and that leaves about 800 + cals for the rest of the night.

...and I am a Type II diabetic....I am pretty solid during the week. It's the weekends that mess up my eating pattern.

I have high fiber cereal, greek yogurt and fruit . Comes out above 400 calories but breakfast is my most important meal as it provides fuel for my workout a couple hours later

I basically have the same thing but layer it like a parfait. Very delish!
