In need of quick filling breakfast ideas

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.

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.

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.

All of these sound delicious. Bump!

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!

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.

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.

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:

Bumping for later - breakfast is the HARDEST meal for me...

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 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 prefer no more than 400 cuz i only get 1670 a day.

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.

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.

bump

do you use the Missions low carb - high fiber tortillas?
