    I make a hearty oatmeal -- cook 1/2 cup old fashioned oats with 1/2 cup skim milk and 1/4 cup water for 3 minutes. Top with fresh or frozen berries (if large frozen berries like cherries or blackberries, you may want to pop it bk in the microwave for 30 more sec). Then I add 2 tbsp ground flaxseed for extra fiber and brain healthy omega-3's, 2 tsp cinammon, and 2 packets splenda with fiber. It's about 300 calories depending on how much fruit you add to it. You'll also get 9g protein and 14g of fiber!! Enjoy!

    I'm an egg guy and have some version of eggs for breakfast 5 or 6 days a week. One of my favorites that I am actually eating right now is "Crab Eggs" and it may not sound great but it tastes awesome and for those that aren't big eaters it should keep you full. I also have a bowl of high fiber instant oatmeal with it but obviously to keep calories under 300 you only get the crab eggs.

    1/2 serving of imitation crab flakes
    3 large eggs (
    1 oz shredded 2% co-jack cheese
    1-2 oz skim milk

    Spray a small pan and add broken up flakes of crab (want to do this so you have some crab in every bite) and put on medium heat or just a little lower than that.
    Scramble the eggs in a bowl and add the skim milk.
    When the crab starts to heat up, turn it a few times just to get it warm. You don't want to over cook it or it loses it's taste.
    Add the beaten eggs and when the eggs are almost all the way cooked you add the cheese and turn the eggs over it kind of like an omelet so the cheese melts quickly.

    You will love it. Calories are right at 300 calories depending how much crab meat, milk and cheese you use. Lots of protein too.

    I love oatmeal, but I've recently found Oatbran, which when heated is like cream of wheat (yum!). Either of those with 1/2 scoop of protein powder mixed in is really good. Especially if you get some of the dessert flavored protein powders (for example I have banana nut bread). So I make banana nut bread oatbran in the morning and it keeps me full for a while :happy:

    Ham and Egg Baskets They are around 150 Calories each (I find one to be pretty good, but you can have 2 for 300 cals).

    Spray a muffin tin, put in a ham slice, then diced veggies (I use red/green pepper and mushrooms), pour in a beat egg, sprinkle a little cheese. bake for 15 minutes at 350. Breakfast for the week! Nuke it for 15-30 seconds in the morning and you are good to go! They have 13g of protein to keep you going.

    I do a big pot of slow cooker oatmeal once a week and eat it every morning. I am not hungry until lunch - about 6 hours...

    Make mine by toasting 2C oats in 2tbps unsalted butter before cooking with 8C water and tsp sea salt for 4 hours on low. Split into 8 tupperware bowls when done.

    Each morning I add a tsp of sugar, 1/4tsp of some spice (cinnamon, nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice), and 1/4C milk to a serving. Coupled with 2 cups of coffee, each with 1 or 2 tbsp of half & half, comes in just under 300 C.

    I frequently have:

    -1 cup of egg substitute (120 cals)
    -1 whole wheat english muffin (120 cals)
    -1 tbsp PB2 (25 cals)
    -1 tbsp no sugar added jam (25 cals)

    Total: 290 cals
    I find that keeps me full until lunch time.

    My favorite breakfast:
    I make a Hungry Girl egg mug--1 egg, beaten + 1 wedge Laughing Cow Light (broken into chunks) in a mug. Microwave for 30 seconds, mix together, microwave for a few more seconds (mix and repeat as necessary)
    Put onto 1 toasted Sandwich Thin.
    Cover with salsa.
    Devour.
    YUM.

    The whole thing is only ~220 calories. You can have some fruit or a glass of milk with it to fill you up!

    1 cup Kashi GoLean Crunch cereal

    +1 on the kashi. Very satisfying and filling. I only use about a quarter cup of milk, just to make the cereal a little wet. So that would leave enough to add an egg w/vegetables.

    One of the surprising things I've found is how much food you can actually fit into 300 or 400 calories when you become more educated about your choices.

    I must agree it really has become much more simple to make a healthy 300-400 calorie meal . I really like fried egg whites with chopped green peppers, jalepenos, onions and top it off with fat free cheddar!

    Anything with a lot of protein and fiber will keep you full for longer. Try some greek yogurt or a whole wheat bagel with light cream cheese.

    Either Half a Sandwich Thin or Bagel Thin toasted topped with 1 tsp hot & spicy mayo. Then top it with scrambled egg mix in some lima beans, peas or mixed veggies. Mix and pop in the microwave, Then place on toasted sandwich thin and top with about a Tbs of Pineapple peach chipolte sauce. On the side I add about 5 apple slices. This is less than 200 calories but is very filling.

    My fav is half an avocado topped with a tablespoon of fresh mango salsa and a fried egg. SO delicious and filling.

    Quinoa. Hands down. Cook it like rice. Add it cooked to eggs. Oatmeal. Yogurt. By itself. It's become a staple in my household and creates sustainable energy and is an excellent source of protein while also satisfy your carb cravings. I'll even throw it in my morning smoothies.

    I make a protein smoothy in the mornings for under 350 calories.

    Ice
    1 cup skim milk 90 cal
    1 banana about 100 cal
    1 scoop of chocolate protein powder about 150 cal


    I blend it up and put in one of those covered insulated cups with the straw. It takes me awile to drink it and holds me over until lunch...or close to it. You can throw in a handful of frozen berries in place of the banana or in addition to it. I just really like the chocolate banana flavor. Yum!

    For me, Greek Strained Yogurt (Greek Gods Honey Strained - 4oz - has a lot of natural sugar from the honey, but they have other kinds) with Barenaked Fit Vanilla Almond Granola (1/4 cup) and some blueberries keeps it under the 300 calorie mark (granted you stick to the right portions). When I started eating this, it was amazing how much of a difference it made in keeping me fuller longer. Sometimes I don't even eat all the greek yogurt because it ends up being more than I can eat or it takes me awhile to eat it.

    I would also do 100% natural quaker oats to make oatmeal with some frozen blueberries (berries defrosted when I added them to the hot oatmeal). This was delicious and I didn't really need brown sugar or any additives to make it sweet because the blueberries gave it that extra interest. This wasn't as effective in keeping me fuller longer like the greek yogurt/granola/fruit did, but it did do the job in holding me over until my next 100 calorie snack or lunch.

    Doesn't psyllium husk powder make you go, as well as giving you the feeling of being full?

    2 slices of whole wheat toast (77 cals) + 1 TBSP Peanut butter (100 cals) + Tea with skimmed milk-250ml (20 cals) + 1 Apple-Fuji (53 cals) + 7 Almonds (49 cals) = 299 cals.

    This was my yesterday's breakfast and it was really filling :) You can replace almonds with 3 egg whites (51 cals) or 100g low fat yogurt (55 cals) for extra protein or calcium :)


    My breakfast, but I half the putter for ne slice and have soft boiled egg on the other. And obviously drop the almonds.

    Great breakfast.

    Other is 1/2 cup of rolled oats, grated apple, 100g of low or no fat yogurt and a tea spoon of honey. Mix it all up, add seeds or nuts as you please to boot cal and fibre or ther items.

    Sub 300 cal for the base and full of goodness. Either prep the night before and chuck it in the fridge for softer oats, or I find if you do it in the morning, the oats soak up the yogurt and the feeling full lasts longer.

    1/2 Bagel Thin toasted 55 cal
    1 egg scrambled 70 cal
    1/4 cup Veggies (sweet peas, lima beans or mixed veggies) 20 cal
    1tsp Hot & Spicy mayo 18 cal
    1 tbs pineapple peach chipolte salsa ( from walmart) 8 cal
    1 tsp of pumpkin or sunflower seeds 18 cal
    1 tsp of shredded mild cheddar cheese 2% about 22 cal


    5 apple slices 29 cal
    1 oz of Naked Green Machine fruit smoothie 14 cal (by orange juice in walmart) really good to drink.

    Total 255 calories


    I mix the veggies into my egg and scramble. The mayo goes on the bagel thin. Then I place the scrambled egg on the bagel sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and put the salsa on the egg. The apple slices on the side. The hot & spicy mayo sets it off. I forgot it one time and it just wasn't the same.
