Porridge/Oatmeal is always good, only about 150kcals but it's slow releasing energy so sets you up for the day.
Eggs are also full of energy and low cal, especially if you only use egg whites then you can have an omelette for around 70kcal !

PLUS there's this amazing healthy pancake recipe, basically mix 2 eggs and 1 banana together and cook it like a normal pancake. It's really clean, packed with energy yet it's still super healthy!

Don't be fooled by yoghurt or 'healthy' cereals as they often are full of sugar xx

Ooooh that banana recipe sounds amazing - guess what I'm trying in the morning??? :-D

I had a shake this morning for breakfast that I drank a bit before work and throughout the morning. It was about 600 cals but by the time I got a break for lunch I only ate a few bites of my pasta salad...I really wasn't even hungry. It's now 5pm and that's all I've had today so I'd say it's filling! I used 1 cup 2% milk, 1 banana, 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1/2 cup raspberries, 1 scoop of protein powder (25g protein) 2 tbsp ground flax, 1/2 cup plain yogurt and it totalled 44g protein I believe. I really love drinking smoothies in the morning.
Edited to add, I normally don't not eat for long amounts of time like that but I've been working all day and only finished at 4. Usually I would be ravenous by now but I'm just a bit hungry.

bump!

My breakfasts are around 250-300 calories, and I ring teh changes between:

Scrambled eggs. Done in the microwave, usually one whole egg and a glug of egg whites. I'll add in bits of whatever I have - spinach, mushroom, ham, chicken, cheese.

A slice of good quality seedey bread toasted, topped with cottage cheese, peanut butter, or a smooshed avocado.

Porridge, or overnight oats.

Greek yoghurt with berries.

Smoked fish. Trout is lower in fat than salmon or mackerel.

I would add that while egg whites are less calories, there is a LOT of good vitamins in egg yolks. They are packed with Vitamin A & D, B Vitamins...check out this link for the low down on eggs.

I raise chickens, so I have an endless supply of non-caged, happy hens. Just don't be afraid to eat an egg a day! Hard boiled, poached, scrambled, fried in coconut oil(GOOD fat).
AND that egg, banana pancake does sound delish! I will try that myself!

Also, as mentioned above, Oatmeal is a great option, it sticks with you. I cook steel cut oats. Love them! Use maybe a teaspoon of brown sugar with my ground flax and a spoonful of my PB2(powdered peanut butter-has 1/4 the calories of regular PB) Some low-fat Almond or Soy milk. Yumm-o! Add raisins or craisins.

I am also a Blended greens/smoothie fan. That is another stick with you meal. Can give you some input if interested.

Best of luck!
