1. Spread each half of a toasted whole wheat English muffin with 1 Tbsp peanut butter
2. Top each half with 1/4 c sliced banana
3. Eat as an open-faced sandwich with a side of 20 blueberries

Ham and Cheese Frittata
Love ham and cheddar in your eggs? Whip up this satisfying frittata for a Sunday brunch. Making it at home will help you control portion size and resist high-calorie sides like bacon, sausage, or home fries.
1. Peppers and onions add great flavor for few calories
2. Swap the cheddar cheese for a low-fat version
3. Leftovers are delicious warmed up or at room temperature
4. Add 1 1/2 c of sliced cantaloupe for a sweet ending
Total calories: 396 Calories
Not-Your-Ordinary Cereal & Milk

1. Pour 1 c Kashi® Go-Lean cereal into a bowl (140)
2. Top with 1 c blueberries (83)

Bagel with Cream Cheese
Yes, you can eat bagels and still lose weight! Just be aware that most bagels are 290 - 400 calories, depending on the flavors or ingredients. If you're eating out, tell your server to "go light" on the cream cheese; a thin spread will keep you thin!
1. Order a large raisin bagel from a deli or fast-food restaurant (360)
2. Have it spread with 2 Tbsp light cream cheese (69)
3. Enjoy it with an 8 oz. cup of black coffee or tea (2)

Oatmeal Buttermilk and Berry Pancakes
* Prep Time: 15 mins
* Cook Time: 35 mins
* Total Time: 50 mins
* Serves: 12
Ingredients
* 1 1/4 cups quick-cooking oats
* 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
* 3 tablespoons sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 1 cup low-fat buttermilk
* 1 egg
* 1 egg white
* 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
* 1 teaspoon grated fresh lemon peel
* 1 cup fresh blueberries
* 1/2 cup maple syrup
Directions
1.
In a bowl, combine the oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2.
In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, egg, egg white, butter, and lemon peel. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the oat mixture, stirring until just moistened. Gently fold in the blueberries with a rubber spatula. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3.
Preheat the oven to 250ºF. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Spoon four 1/4 cupfuls of batter into the skillet and cook until the tops begin to bubble slightly, about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Turn the pancakes and cook 2 1/2 to 3 minutes longer, or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining batter. Divide the maple syrup over the pancakes.
