    Alot of these suggestions are low in calories but also low in nutritional content. To convert fat to muscle you must have a significant soucre of protein in every meal, i.e. egg whites, meat, or protein supplement. Want a good protein supp? Try Syntrax Matrix 5.0 only 19.99 @ BestPriceNutrition.com. Low in cals, cars and high in protein. Tastes good too.

    I am new at this but my trainer has got me hooked on protein bars for breakfast. I eat the "Power Crunch Bars". They come in several different flavors. I too am on a 1200 calorie/day diet. I eat one for breakfast with some black coffee. The protein keeps my metabolism up and I stay full longer during the day. This has worked very well for me. I have lost 12 pounds since 9/1/09.

    hi,

    Soyrizo is a health food take on the Mexican Chorizo.

    Chorizo is seasoning of chilis into either Pork or Beef glands.

    Buy soyrizo is in soy. I love it and it's vegan. Taste like the flavor of a Chili Dog. (No dog though)
    kc

    That sounds great!! I'm going to try that YUM:flowerforyou:

    I like a big breakfast, particularly when I'm trying to loose weight... but, for a low-cal breakfast, I totally recommend the Food For Life breads toasted either plain or with a little peanut or nut butter. These breads are really satisfying, and pretty high-protein all by themselves. Now, since I like a big breakfast and my intake is more in the neighborhood of 1600, I like a lot of PB :)

    Egg white omelets are my staple breakfast on the weekends. You can add so many different things it's hard to get burned out on them!

    Mine usually end up having 250 calories, but that's because I add bad stuff like full fat cheese or sour cream. If you leave that stuff off, the two I had this weekend would be well under 200 calories:

    Saturday was 1/2 cup liquid egg whites, chopped spinach, fresh basil (sorry, I'm a basil-holic), diced tomatoes, onions. Makes a HUGE omelet and you'll probably be riding the 100 calorie line with that one. If you wanted to boost the calories a little, you could add a whole egg (I added a whole egg & 1/4 cup full-fat cheddar... which added about 184 calories and I was still under 300 for the total)

    Yesterday I used 1/2 cup liquid egg whites & then filled it with some of the chicken left over from Salsa Chicken night (about 2 oz cooked chicken, sprinkle of taco seasoning, 2tbs Mexican salsa). It was so good, and you'd be under 150 calories with that one (I added a slice of red. fat provolone & 2 tbs sour cream. If you leave that out, you'll be right at 115 calories).

    The omelets are very filling -- I stay full for 3-4 hours after eating them. Plus, they're full of good nutrition. YUM!

    I chop up a banana and dump my yogurt over it. Yum. That's my "out of time" go-to breakfast. lol


    that sounds good; im going to have to try that!
    I also eat those 90 calorie Special K bars or a low calorie granola bar. Eggs are good too for low calorie. I've also found those 100 calorie yogurt's with chocolate chip cookie pieces.. those are yummy and gets my sweet tooth to calm down!

    My fav breakfast is 4 whole egg whites and one whole egg, a tablespoon of low fat milk and scramble with some onion flakes. Then I usually toss in about a quarter half tomato, a quarter avocado and maybe left over veggies from the night before like asparagus or green beans. It runs usually under 300 calories. Some times if I have grilled meat from the night before I might toss in an ounce for flavor. Very yummy and low cal scramble and very satisfying. It stays with me until my first morning snack.

    Any ideas on a good low calorie breakfast? I've been eating Quaker's Instant Oats, weight control. I'm burnt out on them!! I'm eating 1200 calories a day and hate to use up to many of them on breakfast.

    I love weight control oatmeal but it can get tiring.

    How about Butterball Turkey Bacon thin sliced only 25 calories a slice. You can have 4-5 slices and maybe a hard boiled egg 70 calories and still be under 200 calories.

    OR

    Medium banana - 105 calories
    Whole wheat toast - 75 calories (depending on brands)
    One tablespoon Peanut butter on toast - 95 calories

    I love topping my egg whites with salsa; also top my waffles with yogurt or my oatmeal with fruit and a spoonful of chobani vanilla fat-free yogurt.
    Lots of great suggestions here!

    When I was working in an office cubicle, my favorite breakfast was what I called "Mexican Shepard's Pie" -

    1/4 cup egg substitute w/ tbsp shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tbsp black beans (cooked in a microwave-safe container)
    Added salsa and then instant grits on top (like the mashed potatoes in shepard's pie!)

    It's super delish and extremely filling. Getting all kinds of good proteins from the beans and eggs, and the grits are just darn good.

    Just about 220 calories

    Well, you might all gross out but I take a zuchinni and dice it up, pan fry it PAM, add 2 ounes of soyrizo, and then 1/2 cup of egg sub.

    It is a big plate of food, low calorie, healthy, and I love the mexican flavor. I put salsa over it. kc

    Oh my goodness, I tried this for breakfast today - it was DELICIOUS! And super filling! Almost four hours later and I'm STILL full (well, I've had coffee and 3 glasses of water too, but STILL!)!!!!!
    Thanks so much for the tip/recipe!!!
