300 calorie FILLING breakfast?

bump

I'm an egg guy and have some version of eggs for breakfast 5 or 6 days a week. One of my favorites that I am actually eating right now is "Crab Eggs" and it may not sound great but it tastes awesome and for those that aren't big eaters it should keep you full. I also have a bowl of high fiber instant oatmeal with it but obviously to keep calories under 300 you only get the crab eggs.

1/2 serving of imitation crab flakes
3 large eggs (
1 oz shredded 2% co-jack cheese
1-2 oz skim milk

Spray a small pan and add broken up flakes of crab (want to do this so you have some crab in every bite) and put on medium heat or just a little lower than that.
Scramble the eggs in a bowl and add the skim milk.
When the crab starts to heat up, turn it a few times just to get it warm. You don't want to over cook it or it loses it's taste.
Add the beaten eggs and when the eggs are almost all the way cooked you add the cheese and turn the eggs over it kind of like an omelet so the cheese melts quickly.

You will love it. Calories are right at 300 calories depending how much crab meat, milk and cheese you use. Lots of protein too.

Ham and Egg Baskets They are around 150 Calories each (I find one to be pretty good, but you can have 2 for 300 cals).

Spray a muffin tin, put in a ham slice, then diced veggies (I use red/green pepper and mushrooms), pour in a beat egg, sprinkle a little cheese. bake for 15 minutes at 350. Breakfast for the week! Nuke it for 15-30 seconds in the morning and you are good to go! They have 13g of protein to keep you going.

2 scrambled medium eggs, 2oz smoked salmon on 1 slice 7 grain toast = 341cals, 18gm fat, 29gm protein

Scramble 2 egg whites and one whole egg, put into a pan and make a square by folding all of the edges in. Place on a toasted sprouted whole grain ezekiel english muffin with a thin slice of cheese. 310 calories of yummy filling food!

I frequently have:

-1 cup of egg substitute (120 cals)
-1 whole wheat english muffin (120 cals)
-1 tbsp PB2 (25 cals)
-1 tbsp no sugar added jam (25 cals)

Total: 290 cals
I find that keeps me full until lunch time.

1 packet of Grits (100 cals)
1 Large Egg (78 calories)
3 Slices of Turkey Bacon (45 calories)
1 cup of Melons (54 calories)
1 cup of Strawberries (53 calories)
When I'm feeling frisky 1 Cracker Barrel reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese stick (60 calories)

Total: 390 calories; 330 w/o cheese stick

1 cup Kashi GoLean Crunch cereal

+1 on the kashi. Very satisfying and filling. I only use about a quarter cup of milk, just to make the cereal a little wet. So that would leave enough to add an egg w/vegetables.

One of the surprising things I've found is how much food you can actually fit into 300 or 400 calories when you become more educated about your choices.

I must agree it really has become much more simple to make a healthy 300-400 calorie meal . I really like fried egg whites with chopped green peppers, jalepenos, onions and top it off with fat free cheddar!

Anything with a lot of protein and fiber will keep you full for longer. Try some greek yogurt or a whole wheat bagel with light cream cheese.

My fav is half an avocado topped with a tablespoon of fresh mango salsa and a fried egg. SO delicious and filling.

I make a protein smoothy in the mornings for under 350 calories.

Ice
1 cup skim milk 90 cal
1 banana about 100 cal
1 scoop of chocolate protein powder about 150 cal


I blend it up and put in one of those covered insulated cups with the straw. It takes me awile to drink it and holds me over until lunch...or close to it. You can throw in a handful of frozen berries in place of the banana or in addition to it. I just really like the chocolate banana flavor. Yum!

Doesn't psyllium husk powder make you go, as well as giving you the feeling of being full?

1/2 Bagel Thin toasted 55 cal
1 egg scrambled 70 cal
1/4 cup Veggies (sweet peas, lima beans or mixed veggies) 20 cal
1tsp Hot & Spicy mayo 18 cal
1 tbs pineapple peach chipolte salsa ( from walmart) 8 cal
1 tsp of pumpkin or sunflower seeds 18 cal
1 tsp of shredded mild cheddar cheese 2% about 22 cal


5 apple slices 29 cal
1 oz of Naked Green Machine fruit smoothie 14 cal (by orange juice in walmart) really good to drink.

Total 255 calories


I mix the veggies into my egg and scramble. The mayo goes on the bagel thin. Then I place the scrambled egg on the bagel sprinkle with pumpkin seeds and put the salsa on the egg. The apple slices on the side. The hot & spicy mayo sets it off. I forgot it one time and it just wasn't the same.
