Cheap, quick, under 300 cal breakfast? Any ideas?

zkitty

Im looking for something to eat in the morning that is minimal effort while I'm rushing to get to work.

I've been eating bagels with a small amount of weight watchers cream cheese.

2 x Cups of Tea with Skimmed Milk = 10.
2 x Toasted Brown Bread & Marmite = 200.
1 x Small Bannana = 90.

Dot on 300 calories.

LuckyLeprechaun

1 cup of low fat cottage cheese= 180 cals, with
1/3 cup of craisins=130

310 cals, and loads of protein to keep you going all morning till lunchtime!

(the only drawback is sodium is a bit high)

CinthyNair

4 scoops of low fat skim milk
2 scoops of organic soy protein powder
4 tbsp of low fat granola

Total cal - 308 :flowerforyou:

Quaker oats-so-simple porridge sachets - 216 calories with semi skimmed milk - even less with skimmed.

Porridge! Rolled oats! Yummy, porride oats last for ages, really fill you up and even if you make it in a pan and not microwave it takes like 3/4 minutes! I add a teasoon of linseed to mine for some crunch and some agave natural sweetener kind of like honey for a bit of sweeet (it's 14 cals and really makes the porridge tasty!) also if you buy a massive bag of porridge and just weigh yourself out 40g you could also buy a big bag of raisins or mixed fruit and put a tbsp of that in! Yummy!

Kashi Go Lean Vanilla Oatmeal and some fresh fruit. I have it alot for breakfast.
Or special K cereal with cranberries.

And if I'm really in a hurry I just drink a protein shake.


I also love whole grain toast with almond butter. yum!

1 serving of mini wheats and a sliced apple.

I usually boil a few eggs (I boiled eggs) and I'll eat one boiled egg for breakfast with a piece of fruit...usually an apple

tends to come out to only 156cals....and another thing u could do is the instant oatmeals...theyre only about 150-160 cals add in some skim milk to drink with it and it runs to about 240ish in cals

A slice of whole wheat toast with 1 tbsp of Peanut butter (depending on the bread you use) ...mines only 45 cals a slice so thats only 125 cals

On my treat days i make a one egg omlette where i find half a serving of lite keilbase to be enough meat to fill it, throw in a handful of corn and a slice of 2% cheese ...it's a little under 200 cals

Actually, according to my wifes trainer(45 yrs old with a 6 pack a 20 yr old would kill for!!!), breakfast should be ur highest calorie meal of the day. U want to really stoke that metabolism 4 the day!! Otherwise, I eat Basic 4 cereal, 2% milk, and a glass of OJ. If u can squeeze in 2 slices of Arnold bread 100% whole wheat toast, u'd b closer to what u should have for the first meal of the day.

Quick oats have better nutrition than instant & don't have a bunch of added crud.

1/2 cup quick oats, 1 tbs natural peanut butter, vanilla protein powder (I use 1/4th of a scoop for my oatmeal -- adds not many calories & just enough protein). I eat this a lot and it keeps me totally satisfied for hours and hours. Plus I make it in my cubicle by boiling 8oz of water in an electric kettle & pouring it over the oatmeal & then I get some work done while I'm waiting for it to "cook."


I mean, *peanut butter* = YUM!

Anyway, you're looking at about 275 calories. About 240 if you leave out the protein powder.

Another fav of mine is 6oz 2% plain greek yogurt (110 cals), 1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean high fiber/high protein cereal (70 calories) and 1/2 tbs honey (30 calories). You can add some berries, too. 100g strawberries is 32 calories.

English muffin, toasted, with 1 tbsp peanut butter!

I'm eating clean, so for breakfast I eat one piece of fruit, usually an apple or a banana, and 24 almonds (1 oz.) It's quick and easy, literally grab and go, and 240-250 calories.

instant oatmeal, or you could make your own smoothies with protein powder and drink it on your way.
maybe fruit salad?
