    I sautee mushrooms and onions and put them ina muffin pan. I put ina tablespoon of cottage cheese and a dashof hot sauce. I fill the pan 1/2 way with egg beaters and cook at 350 for about 30 minutes. I put two in a little container and I have breakfast for less than 100 calories for 6 days. I take them to work and heat them in the micro for 30 seconds. YUMMY I also have two hard boiled eggs about an hour later - 140 calories.

    150g of oats
    300ml of whole milk
    3 eggs
    50ml double cream.
    Cup of tea.


    What ? OMG is that all in ONE breakfast?? That's 540 cals for the oats, 192 cals for the milk, 210 to 240 cals for the eggs (depending on their size), and 233 cals for the cream! That's a whopping 1175 to 1205 cals just for brekkie!!! If I had that, I'd have between 135 and 165 cals left for the rest of the day... :noway: yikes!!!

    He's gaining. Totally different calorie profile lol

    Protein Shake or scrambled egg with a slice of microwave bacon in a carb balance tortilla with salsa. Today it was breakfats in bed for Mother's Day and I had half of an English Muffin with eggs and some little sausages. I try to stay under 250 calories for breakfast.

    Most mornings I have a handful of almonds, about 23. Lots of protein and fiber and VERY quick!!!
    I'm trying to mix it up a little as well so now I'm having 1/2 a skinny bagel toasted then popped in the microwave with 1 slice of provolone cheese.
    It's actually less fat and calories with more protein and almost as much fiber.
    I never used to eat breakfast on a regular basis, so this is a lot for me!

    Two eggs over easy (fried with just a spray of cooking spray) and two sausage patties. Yes, it's a lot of calories, but low in carbs and high in protein.

    i get up at 5 and dont get to eat again until around 1, so breakfast has to be good (i do eat little fruit or something around 9). my usual is 1/2 cup of grapenuts with just enough 2% milk to float 'em. but my son thinks i have a cow in the backyard so there is not always milk, so...two slices of toasted whole grain bread with a slice of cheese-no butter needed; the cheese is enough cause it melts a little on the warm toast...1/2 cup regular cottage cheese and fruit...couple of scrambled eggs...a 4 inch homemade pancake with 1 tbs natural nut butter (i love almond). before changing my way of eating, i never ate breakfast. or i would eat the entire above listed for "brunch".

    I don't know if this has already been mentioned or not, but I love making my own healthier egg mcmuffins in the morning. I bought a $30 toaster from "back to basics" on amazon and it actually toasts the English muffin and poaches the egg at the same time! A tasty 170 calorie sandwich is the result, which is also very filling. Sometimes I add a slice of lite cheese if I want to endulge.

    By far the best thing I've purchases all year!

    I prefer any combination of the below with some water or green tea and rice

    - Miso Soup
    - Rice
    - Eggs
    - Fish
    - Salad
    - a little bit of meat (I.e. grilled chicken & salad)
    - plenty of water
    - fruit salad
    - a small glass of juice

    Why is it that we have to follow breakfast dictated by advertisements?

    I believe it is important to give appropriate nutrition to your body after it has been starving for 7hrs of sleep at night.

    Chobani has "kids" size packaging now with 100 calorie greek yogurt in a few flavors (the best is honeynana which is honey and banana lol). I eat one of those and sprinkle in about 1/8 cup of granola (auroras natural) and it ends up being under 200 calories and really filling b/c of complex carbs and protein! :)

    I eat this pretty much every day:
    omelet--3 egg whites, 1 whole egg
    add: half a slice of provolone; 1/4 avocado (about 2 slices chopped); 1 cup spinach

    whole wheat English muffin with 1.5 tbsp butter (I usually use Country Crock with honey)
    coffee or Earl Grey with some almond milk

    Total it's about 430 calories--use less butter to get it down to 400.

    Varies depending on how much time I have.

    Choices usually are:

    Great Grains cereal w/ skim milk

    OR

    Oatmeal w/ scoop of protein powder

    OR

    Banana and protein shake

    If I have more time I'll cook a "dinner for breakfast" type deal.

    This morning:
    - 1/2 cup oatmeal, plain.
    - One egg.
    - Coffee.

    Somewhere around 150 calories, I'm satisfied, and the carb/fat/protein balance is pretty good.

    scrambled egg with grape tomatoes:
    1 egg-70 cal
    2 egg whites- 32cal
    14g 2% shredded cheese- 40 cal
    3oz grape tomatoes sliced- 30 cal

    Only 172 calories. you can always add extra veggies or a full serving of cheese to give more calories and add a slice of toast and piece of fruit and still be at or below. :)

    Plain Greek yogurt with chia & hemp seed, cinnamon & berries. Sometimes I add pumpkin or sunflower seeds. Sometimes I add almond butter or sunbutter.

    Broccoli (heavy on the stems) sauteed in coconut oil with an over easy egg or two on top.

    one egg, two egg whites, and four ounces (~120 g) of lean ground turkey, 2 Tbsp (~30 g) hot salsa

    Fry up the turkey in a teflon pan, spray a little oil, add the eggs, cook. Add salsa, salt, onion powder, and pepper. Enjoy. Just under 300 calories, and keeps me full all morning. (no sugar or flour to spike blood sugar/insulin)

    My newest favorite is 3 egg white, Parmesan omelet with some veggies I saute' in a little coconut oil. (I usually do this part in advance and then pop in the microwave for a minute to cut down on my time in the morning) I only use egg whites if I'm limited on calories for the day. If not then I use the whole egg.

    I am following a low-carb diet. South Beach has a great recipe: Spinach Egg Cups

    1 package (10 ounces) frozen spinach
    3/4 cup liquid egg substitute, or 3 whole eggs
    3/4 cup shredded reduced fat cheese
    1/4 cup diced green bell peppers
    1/4 cup diced onion
    3 drops hot sauce (optional)

    Directions
    Microwave the spinach for 2 1/2 minutes on high. Drain the excess liquid.

    Spray the baking cups with cooking spray.

    Combine egg substitute, cheese, peppers, onion, spinach and hot sauce in a bowl. Mix well. Divide evenly among the muffin cups.

    Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

    Can be frozen and reheated in the microwave.

    Number of Servings: 6
