Overnight steel cut oats
4 c water to 1 c oats
Add ingredients to the crockpot and set on low overnight.
You can add your fruit, cinnamon, nuts at night but I like to add them in the morning to one portion.
I portion out the oatmeal into single serve container and grab and go each day.0 -
lots of protein. I like one egg and 3-5 egg whites scrambled, or 2 sunny side up eggs with 2 pieces of whole grain bread, peanut butter and banana sandwiches on 12 grain. I like to eat scrambled eggs, with one egg and egg whites along with a bowl of quick oats made with a banana, stevia, cinnamon and almond milk.0

I make a breakfast burrito, too, but I make a total of 6 at a time and freeze them. A roll of turkey breakfast sausage, 6 eggs, 6 oz cheese, and 6 burrito size tortillas. Once fully frozen, they reheat easy in the microwave - 1 minute on one side, turn it over and 1 minute on the other. Makes mornings easy and the family loves them, too. Between 450 and 475 calories each, but all that protein keeps you full. Would be easy to add in onions/tomatoes/whatever when you cook the eggs. Sometimes sub in turkey bacon instead of the sausage.0

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.
That is amazing and I am looking for ideas for proteiny brekkies and already getting bored of poached egg and bacon. Thanks for this - will jot down immediately and try.0 -
My go-to is something I call Western Scramble. Scramble one whole egg and one egg white in a pat of butter. Add as much salsa as you can handle, and a tablespoon of reduced-fat shredded cheese. Cook until done. Easy, quick and filling. Only 174 cals, so even if you add some diced ham to the scramble or have toast on the side, you should still be under 400 cals.0

Target milk chocolate diet shakes 170 calories and tons of vitamins and protein. Fiber One 60 calorie cereal with Almond milk over half your day's fiber in one shot and under 100 calories so you can add fruit or have a couple slices of turkey bacon on the side if you like.0

depends on the morning lol and quick for me is no longer than 15 minutes cuz my daughter is a handfulhow quick depends on you but as for the rest . . . do you have a man at home in the morning?0 -
Plain instant oatmeal with a handful and berries on top... delish (and very filling)!0

All of these sound delicious. Bump!0

Bumping, especially for that burrito...0

I am so excited to share my daily favorite breakfast with you!! It started out as very simple french toast, and now has morphed into something bigggg..... but still clocks in at 223 calories. It is now more like a skillet bread pudding because I tear up the bread slices.
I use egg whites in the carton from Egg Beaters and mix it with all this stuff. Start with about 1/2c, might add more as you add all the other stuff. It's really low calorie base for your breakfast.
Spices:
Cinnamon
Vanilla
Nutmeg
For extra nutrition add in some:
Wheat Germ
plain Wheat Bran
Ground up Flax seeds (so healthy!)
Dont worry if you don't have all these things, they all just pump up the nutrition.
Fruit!
Add PUMPKIN PUREE!!! Adds protein, and very little calories. I know it sounds weird, but try it. I use a spoonful, doesn't really add heavy pumpkin flavor.
Add Plumazins and/or Raisins (Plumazins are basically dried prunes cut into raisin sized pieces. Lower in calories than raisins)
You could add your own favorite dried fruit, also could try mashed bananas or other stuff!
Use Sarah Lee 40 calorie whole wheat bread, (or equivalent) and tear it up. When you tear it up it can absorb all the good stuff better. Two slices per person.
Use a nice hot nonstick frying pan, a little spray of oil if you need it... when it is hothothot turn out your luscious mixture and spread it out with the back of the spoon so that it is uniformly less than 1 inch.... flip carefully when browned and eat it with sugar free syrup, if you need more sweetness.
It is so big, and yummy!0 -
Breakfast for me seems to be a time where I have to watch and make sure my blood sugar (I'm not diabetic or pre-diabetic) is stable. I want to avoid spikes so that I'm not later excessively hungry or lose energy or mood. So good fibrous carbs and protein really help.
An example would be this; spinach (I use appx 4 cups) and frozen rasberry (about 3/4 cup, then just add water) smoothie with 2 boiled eggs. I would strongly suggest avoiding white starches because of how highly glycemic they are and how devoid of nutrition they are compared to other things that can give you better nutrition and be less glycemic. They may taste and feel wonderful at first as they fill your stomach but then they quickly blow through it and leave you VERY hungry. Not good.
ETA; Maybe I'm just weird but I would totally avoid any grain, bread, cereal, muffin, etc... I don't care if its whole wheat, multigrain and has sticks coming out of it. An hour later I would be starving. I tried all of that and was getting nowhere until my trainer (an author and nutritionist) made me stop it. Then my appetite normalized and my bodyfat went from 25% to 12%.0 -
I found some very low cal spinach quiche muffins...I think I saved them in my recipes. They are about 108 cals each for my "calorie friendly version" and the bigger one's (which I made for my bf) are 210 I believe each. Message me and I'll send you the recipe cause I can't do it right now.
But you can always find the recipes online and just tweak them a bit with friendlier ingredients, a yogurt or fruit with coffee makes a very filling breakfast!
I've been having oatmeal (instant, plain) with coffee and a fruit and its been keeping me full till lunch.0 -
Try Dannon light and fit yogurt, 1/4 cut kashi and blueberries, strawberries and rasberries, it is both nutritional, low in calories and very filling0

I find a shreddies style cereal is very filling and very low cal. UK Sainsburys Apricot wholewheats (50g) with 100ml skimmed milk. Filling but under 200cals. Keeps me full until late morning. Simple, quick, tasty. Lovely. I'm only on 1200cals per day, so this is a perfect start for me. To boost cals why not top with chopped banana or nuts.0

Overnight oats
I use either regular old fashion oat meal or steal cut oats bout 1/4 cup
Almond milk or milk 1 cup
Cinnamon
Stevia or sugar of your choice
Wee bit of vanilla
Add to mason jar or container.
Refrigerate over night for about 7 to 10 hrs depending on oats
Pull it out in the a.m add a bit more of milk shake or warm up if u like and drink away. sometimes i add nuts or protein powder to it. Very yum and ready for a person on the go0 -
So jealous of all the egg eaters........LOL
I miss omlettes and quiche and scrambled eggs.......damn food allergy. :ohwell:
Ok, done whining.....carry on :laugh:0 -
My favorites -- in under 15 minutes:
Sautee fresh mushrooms and peppers in a pat of butter, sprinkle with a bit of worchesershire.... mix in with scrambled eggs (I do 1 whole and 2 egg whites.... sometimes I add a bit of cheese, or if I have any ham, etc... but watch teh sodium!
english muffin with peanut butter (my staple on a "running late" morning)
Egg sandwhich - 2 egg whites cooked in my micro cooker, slice of velveeta
I really notice the difference in my appetite when I fuel up with protien and avoid too sugar or carbs in the morning.0 -
Bumping for later - breakfast is the HARDEST meal for me...0
-
I didn't see it so I'll put it here:
I call it Lazy *kitten* Cinnamon Toast..
I make toast with Healthy Life Low Carb High Fiber Bread
Smear with a little Move over Butter
Sprinkle the slice with heavy cinnamon & then a packet of Splenda -
It's about 70 calories a slice, 13 carbs, 5g Fiber
I like to pair it up with a Muscle Milk Light for extra protein.0 -
Porridge is a good one. I like low fat natural yoghurt over a tonne of fruit with a handful of cereal for a wee crunch

My favorites - I found these bagel bars from Costco, called Energy Bagels. Basically cinnamon bagel dough stuffed with nuts and dried fruits, 216 calories per. I toast them and spread with a tablespoon of peanut butter.
Greek yogurt, Fage with fruit is my favorite.
2 eggs with whatever veggies I have laying around.
Keep in mind, the higher protein, the longer you are going to feel full from something. Cereal will leave you starving in a couple of hours, but eggs and toast will keep your tummy happy. Oatmeal is pretty great for that too 0 -
I prefer no more than 400 cuz i only get 1670 a day.My breakfast was 692 calories today. It was very filling! (This was after my pre and post workout snacks). How many cals are you looking for?
I only get 1400 calories per day, but I have found that if I eat a filling breakfast of 500-600 calories that I'm much less hungry throughout the day and it doesn't become an issue where calories are concerned. You may want to try it unless you find something that really satisfies you on the 400 calorie limit you've set for yourself.0 -

Two hard boiled eggs, an apple and a banana which is about 310 calories and very filling for me.
An unprocessed protein with slow digesting carbohydrates will fill you up the best. No sugary cereals, no yogurts with sugar in the ingredients, no white toast or jelly, no instant oatmeal, etc. Those type of foods will make you hungry in an hour, produce, protein, and very whole unprocessed grains should keep you full.0 -
My favorite is two eggs scrambled (I don't add any milk) with sliced jalapenos and topped with 1/4 cup of reduced fat cheddar! Yummy!!!0

My go-to breakfast is a protein smoothie. Between 325-375 calories, it makes a HUGE serving and keeps me full until 1pm or so.
Green Smoothie: 1 cup almond milk (35 calories), 1 tsp of fish oil (can't taste it at all), I scoop protein powder (I use Bodylogix), 1 T ground psyllium husks (this is pure fiber and helps thicken the smoothie among other things ;-) ), 2 c. raw spinach, 1 med. banana, and 2 T PB2 (gives it a peanut butter taste without all the fat and calories) Add 8-9 ice cubes for super thick, shake like consistency.
Fruit Smoothie: change spinach for 1.5 c. frozen strawberries and leave out the PB2. With frozen fruit you don't need the ice cubes..............SUPER thick..........LOVE it!
If you don't like them thick, leave out the ice or use fresh fruit.0
