Hey all!
I am trying to find new breakfasts for 200 to 300 calories one problem though is I really struggle to eat sweet breakfast! Cereal generally makes my tummy turn I duno if its to do with the milk or what and pancakes n waffles etc. I can eat fruit tho but never find if filling enough! I love bread I think that's the problem! Because I would have two slices of toast but then generally have a sandwich at lunch aswell!
Any alternatives would be great :)
Thanks kate

    Try an egg plus two whites with only one piece of toast or a healthy English muffin. There is no harm in having bread at both meals

    Yes an egg. You can add a whole lot of low cal, filling veggies to an omelette, or scramble.
    One piece of whole grain toast.

    I have eaten the same breakfast almost every day for the past month...so far so good.
    2 pieces of Canadian Kub Rye Bread (toasted) -
    1/4 Avacado -
    1/4 cup NaturEgg Egg Whites -

    Fry up the egg whites, cut slices of avocado spread it on the toast and voila a healthy fried egg sandwich! DELICIOUS!

    I'll second English muffins, they're about 150 calories, and you can then add toppings - try a slice of cheese or ham, maybe salami if you don't like sweet flavours.

    1 sweetner tab
    1 tsp sugar
    240ml Skimmed Milk

    I love my dark rye toasted with a spoonful of natural peanut butter. 200cals! I've started adding Chia seeds on top for some extra crunch and of course the added nutritional benefits. On extra hungry mornings, I add half of a banana. Still keeps me under 300 cals and so satisfying!

    I saute (in olive oil) my fave veggies (mushrooms, asparagus, onions) lightly with garlic salt and pepper. I scrambled 8 or so eggs (no milk) I scramble the veggies and eggs in a bowl then fill muffin tins with the mixture bake for a few on 350.. I let them cool then put them in a freezer bag to grab and go every morning...

    Cheap, fast, yummy and low cal.

    I typically have oatmeal and a banana if I have them. If not oatmeal then hard boiled egg

    If you don't mind pre-packaged breakfasts, Jimmy Dean makes decent breakfast sandwiches in their "DeLightful" line between 210-280 calories.

    Also, Kellogs Special K just came out with Flatbread breakfast sandwiches between 200-250 calories.

    I've tried both brands and one sandwich is substantial enough (with my morning coffee) to keep me full for 3-4 hours. You can find these in the feezer section of Walmart or your grocery store.

    Some work mornings I have a small tin of baked beans (the tiny ones in a 4 share pack) on toast - around 200 cal with one slice of toast and around 300 cals with 2 slices of toast.

    This tides me over well up to lunch.

    Other days I have an egg on toast, sometimes with a small rasher of bacon.

    Baked eggs, omelettes and vegemite on toast (yep I am Aussie and I do eat vegemite on toast for brekky sometimes MMMMmmm)

    I microwave an egg and put it on a piece of toast with a little butter, then eat it like an open-faced sandwich. You could always put a piece of cheese on it, too.

    Explain to a girl down under what "Turkey Beef" is exactly...the image I get in my mind is of a turkey running around with a t-bone steak in it's beak going 'gobble gooble mooo-ooooo'...

    Hah, mine is a Quest bar and a coffee. Under 300 kcals and a bunch of fibre and protein.

    And caffeine, which is probably the most important part of breakfast!

    I like "parfaits". You can take about 1/2 c - 1 c of low-fat vanilla yogurt and add your favorite fruit, like banana, strawberry, blueberry, whatever you have on hand and then topping it with a sprinkle of chopped walnut or pecan.

    I like a Chobani greek yogurt and a piece of fruit (banana, apple, orange, some grapes, etc.). Generally about 250-275 calories.

    My usual breakfast items are: eggs (boiled, poached or scrambled with no butter), rye bread dry thins (http://www.fazer.com/Global/Atmospheric/FB_crisp_620x400.jpg) which build my sandwich on, apples and other fruits, high protein joghurt, buttermilk, cottage cheese, spinach, sprouts, salmon, ham, cheese... Not all at once, of course.

    I'n the winter, when I need some warm food, I usually eat oatmeal with some crushed banana inside. I make it with water, not milk.

    As for the bread, you'll get used to not having it.

    Some Quaker oatmeal with sliced up strawberries/bananas with nuts (almonds, walnuts) then sprinkle some cinnamon on top. About 250 calroies or so and tons of health benefits.

    I have struggled with breakfast for years but I recently found something that is quick and fills me up. As long as you don't mind a pre-package meal, try Weight Watchers or Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwiches (they are identical to an "egg mcmuffin" and you have a choice of either turkey sausage or Canadian Bacon). If you follow the microwave instructions, they turn out perfect.

    I make an open-faced breakfast sandwich:

    1 piece of toast (I use Alvarado St. Bakery California Style bread)
    1 wedge Laughing Cow Cream Cheese Spread
    a little Sriracha
    Sliced cucumber
    Sliced tomato
    Sliced onion
    1 Jennie-O Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patty scrambled with 2 egg whites

    Calculates out to 286 calories

    Cooked quinoa flakes with a little agave and chopped walnuts. If cereal bothers your stomach, it may be the milk or it could be the wheat. Quinoa is a gluten-free grain, that cooks up like oatmeal. It's very good!
