In need of quick filling breakfast ideas

meg1hirschi

I really need quick filling breakfast ideas that are low cal and tasty, im tired of being hungry an hour after i eat everyday!

farway

porridge in microwave, watch the portion size.

Add chopped fresh fruit, like an apple or banana and a few teaspoons of low fat yoghurt

No sugar added, maybe teaspoon of dried fruit like currants or raisins for a bit of added sweetness

Ready in 5 minutes, zap it in the bowl you are going to eat it in to save washing up as well :happy:

I make a homemade breakfast burrito that my wife LOVES!

Basically, it is jam packed with veggies, 1 deli slice of ham, ½ cup of diced potatoes, ½ cup of egg whites and low fat shredded cheese.

Cooking with no oil, start with a hot pan with a couple of tablespoons of water. Throw in the potatoes for a couple of minutes, stir often. Dice them really small so they cook faster. While those are in the pan I chop up the veggies and ham slice. By now the water from the pan should be all gone. Taste one of the potatoes. Should be nice and soft. If not, throw a little more water into the pan and let it evaporate. Throw the veggies and ham into the pan. Mix around. Add the egg whites and mix around again until the eggs are no longer runny. Place on a tortilla, top with a little shredded cheese and wrap it.

The veggies I use are usually onions, green peppers, tomatoes and whatever else I have laying around.

It takes me a total of about 7-8 minutes to make this meal. Total calories ~ 415

You save a lot of calories using more veggies as a filler than potatoes and egg whites vs a full egg. Go easy on the cheese too.

I have 3 go to breakfasts (look for protien, fiber & fat to keep you full)

3/4 C Kashi Go Lean mix in: Dannon Light & Fit, 1/4 C frozen raspberries, 1 TLB sliced almonds. 250 Calories ... 16.8 gms protein, 10.5 gms fiber, 4.6 gms (good) fat ..... keeps me full until lunch

Chobani Greek Yogurt (flavored -0%), with a side of Kashi Heart to Heart Cinnamon cereal (1 C) 287 Calories ... 19.3 gms protein, 7.7 gms fiber, no fat

Steel cut oats mixed with PB2 (powdered peanut butter) and sweetened with maple syrup ..... you could mix in protein powder if you like
215 Calories ... 9.4 gms protein, 5.8 gms fiber, 3.8 gms fat

I add boiling water (cover) and soak instant steel cut oats overnight .... this cuts the 5 minute cooking time in half.

That's a good caloric goal for breakfast!

You could pre-make an egg scramble (eggwhites, cheese, sausage and even potato) like I had today for 278 calories. Just make a few servings and keep in the fridge. Microwave it and place into a flatout wrap which is just 100 calories. 378 calories with 36 grams of protein will keep you satisfied for a pretty long while. Hope that helps.

I've also poached eggs in the microwave and make a sandwich with any type of bread + avocado. Doable for 400 calories.

Another quick one that I like are muffins that I make and freeze. I just go to my "recipes" and add 1 serving of the muffin (low sugar/high protein) I already entered into the database. Add some fruit and coffee+creamer. Easy and yummy.

This weekend my husband and I came up with a make-ahead recipe for breakfast quiche "muffins". Despite the name, they're not actual muffins. We just made them in muffin tins. We discovered they tasted WONDERFUL and this morning found out they heat up fantastically. Just microwave for 45-50 seconds and you're good to go!




Here's the recipe for 12 muffins:

4 whole eggs
8 egg whites
1 cup Jimmy Dean's Turkey sausage crumbles
1/2 cup shredded cheese (we used marble jack)
1 cup chopped broccoli
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup skim milk
1/2 tbsp veggie oil
1/2 tsp baking powder salt and pepper (to taste)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pam muffin tin. Sautee veggies and brown sausage (use a little olive oil if necessary). Combine eggs, egg whites, milk, oil, cheese, and baking powder in a bowl. Evenly divide veggie/sausage mixture in muffin tin. Then evenly divide egg mixture over the veggie/sausage mixture. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Per serving (1 muffin): 74 calories, 2 carbs, 4 grams fat, 8 grams protein, 182 grams of sodium

You can substitute any veggies if you like or add more cheese. Just remember to adjust the nutritional content.

Enjoy!

THIS I copied from another post, love it. So easy to make & then it takes just a few seconds to microwave in the morning.

Full Fat Greek Yogurt topped with granola, fruit, nuts and hemp hearts. I am an addict. Yum

joecollins9385

my normal breakfast is <400 calories and takes about 10 minutes total for preparation and eating. 2 eggs scrambled, on wheat bread with cheese, bacon, tomato and hot sauce

OATMEAL FTW!!!!! 1 to 1.5 servings of oatmeal has anywhere from 150-225 calories, and if you put 1/2 cup skim milk on it that adds about 50 calories. You can season it with Splenda and cinnamon and it tastes awesome, and the old-fashioned oats (not the nasty instant ground-up kind) only takes 2 minutes and 30 seconds in the microwave. I can't wait until it's payday so I can buy another huge-*kitten* can of oatmeal because I had pop-tarts for breakfast this morning, and man do they suck. Talk about empty calories.

I make protien smoothies.......

Ice
1-2 cup frozen or fresh fruit
1 tsp honey
1 tbsp plain, non-fat greek yogurt
8 oz vitacoco (or other coconut water or just tap water)
1 scoop vanilla protien powder
Blend and drink.

Takes about 5 minutes, anywhere from 250-350 calories and a TON of protien. Keeps me full usually well past my morning snack time.

A homemade protein shake with fruit and almond milk. I make (well, technically my husband does) a double batch and drink it over a 3-4 day period depending on the size glass. I have also added a piece of toast (with butter).

It helps while I'm running out in the morning to work.

1/2 cup quacker oatmeal 150 calories
some cinnamon
1/4 cup raisens 140 calories or a sliced banana 100

This is very filling. I even have it for lunch sometimes. For lunch, I make it with the raisens and add the hot water at work.

Total 250-290 calories

And not forgetting an omelette packed with veggies x

photorific

2 Nutrigrain waffles + 1T peanut or almond butter + 1/2 banana = Peanut Butter Banana Waffle Sandwich. SO delicious, and only about 300 calories!

Also really good if you mix the peanut butter with greek yogurt before spreading it on the waffles.

MichelleLaree13

1 cup plain nonfat yogurt 120 with 2 servings Kellogs bran bits 160
I almost always split it into two servings.

Total 280
