    I find that a high protein breakfast keeps me more full and for a longer time. So I often have 1/2 cup of egg whites (80 calories) mixed with 1 Lite Babybel cheese (50 calories) cut up into a microwave omelet maker and then put it in there for 1 minute 15 seconds. It's delicious and sometimes I put it on a high-fiber grain bread so I stay full longer. Low in calories and keeps you going for a while.

    Baked beans for breakfast are awesome! Not the healthiest but do treat yourself. We have it here as part of a staple: baked beans, ham, eggs, bacon, pancakes all topped with maple syrup. Not the wisest breakfast but one has to try it at least once in their lifetime. :bigsmile:

    (just not the bacon, ham, pancakes, and maple syrup!)
    baked beans are high in protein and looowww in fat, and aren't very high in calories!

    If you have a griddle and have time:

    Thomas Lite English Muffin
    5 slices deli turkey breast (thinly sliced)
    One slice Gouda
    One egg

    I spray with a little non-stick spray, then cook my egg over easy (the partially done yolk acts as a type of mayo on the sandwich when it breaks) along with toasting the muffin and heating up the turkey (all on the griddle together).

    It's a really great sandwich for around 300 calories, and it keeps me happy until lunch. :smile:

    If my breakfast is that low in calories, it's probably going to be because I'm on the run and having a protein bar and a Red Bull. :tongue:

    hmmm, a piece of fruit and a couple of eggs would be that low certainly, but if it were me, I would have to have a morning snack later if that's what I ate. Red Bull will keep me feeling full longer than a couple of eggs.

    I like to eat a sandwich, 2 white bread slices, 1 slice of ham (or someother similar), 1 of cheddar cheese and toast altogether. Using a "light" bread this do not pass the 220 cals. A fruit as "dessert" and a big tea cup or coffee with a little of milk.

    2 large eggs scrambled or Porridge with golden syrup are my usual choices. Both of these keep me feeling full till lunch time.

    I have been eating soup for breakfast this week. It is warm, filling, and low in calories. I don't particularly care for cold foods in the mornings.

    I usually have 1 egg either scrambled or overeasy cooked with olive oil and some type of meat. I have found thin sliced ham to be less in fat and calories than sausage and bacon. I also have a cup or two of skim milk. We started out with 1% and have worked our way down to skim, it's really not that bad. I try to drink a bottle of water shortly after to make sure I get full. Then after a couple hours, a fruit for snack.

    Try some low-fat cottage cheese with fresh fruit or put all in a blend then eat. Sometimes I eat a regular breakfast (fried egg, 1 biscuit, homemade gravy, 2 slices of bacon) be sure to measure and check out the calorie contents first. If i deprieve myself of things that I really like, then when I go on a binge its hello weight gain. I know people will think this is stupid, but thats's why I measure and check calories before eating.

    English muffin pizzas. With your favourite cheese, and tomato sauce and veggies. Who doesnt like pizza for breakfast?

    This morning I am having cottage cheese and fruit. I guess if I wanted to go to 400 cal, I would have some toast.

    Toast with PB and a banana.

    Cheese grits. Around 325 calories, depending on the cheese and the size of the egg used.
    A standard serving of plain grits
    28 g (1 oz) of cheese. I've been using shredded colby-jack of late.
    1 egg.
    Prepare the grits in a large mug in the microwave and season to taste. I usually add sea salt and either Tabasco or salsa verde.
    Blend in the cheese until it melts and then add the egg and mix thoroughly.
    Microwave on high until the center sets, about 5 minutes.

    Bacon, egg, and cheese on an English muffin. Around 330 calories using regular pork bacon and full fat cheese.
    1 strip bacon
    1 egg
    20 g of cheese
    English muffin.
    Microwave the first two ingredients together on high for about 90 seconds, the bacon on a paper towel and the egg broken into a small ceramic bowl (the type used for desserts in cafeterias works well) treated with non-stick spray. Remove the egg and cook the bacon for another 1.5 to 2 minutes on high. Assemble the sandwich and microwave on high for 30 seconds or so.

    some very awesome ideas here! I especially like the ones with the baked beans. I am gona try them all so that should keep me happy for a good while!! Thanks everyone for all the response. It seems if I eat a good breakfast that is satisfying, then I am good to go for the rest of the day. I usually eat something very light for lunch then I have a full dinner with my family. I keep it under 1500 calories and it seems to be working.... only got one problem.....I don't know which one of these I am gona try first...they all sound so delish!!!!

    I never really was a breakfast eater, even as a kid, but now I know it's important to start my day off on the right foot. I cannot tolerate a sweet/high carb breakfast on its own. A fruit plate would make me sick if I didn't have something else with it. I need REAL food. Throw in a couple of eggs with that fruit, and I'm good to go. I can do a fruit smoothie so long as it has a good protein powder mixed in, but I still crave something else. I love cheese toast & bacon, but well, that's not so good for me, is it? :wink: I've even been known to cook a steak rare, dice it up into tiny pieces & freeze it into 2tbsp portions. In the morning I'll toss them in a hot pan for a few seconds before pouring some eggs over top to scramble. Mmm. After that, I'd really be happy to eat a fruit plate! :bigsmile:
