    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.

    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.

I make a little flat omlet and fold to fit the muffin. The whole thing is 205 cal and so filling.

    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
