    Forgot to add I'm in Australia and am looking to drop about 35kg (about 77 pounds). I guess I was looking at a breakfast around the 150-200 cal mark. I have PCOS and Insulin resistance too.

    I'm looking to get back into training for a women's triathlon which is in November (200m swim/10km bike/2km run) and beat my PB from last year (1hr5min) which I did when I was about 7kg lighter than I am now.

    I'm guessing protein should be a huge thing for breakfasts and I know I don't eat anywhere near enough of it during the day. Boiling up eggs and keeping them in the fridge sounds like a start!

    Thanks again for all your suggestions!

    Higher protein and lower carbohydrate breakfast would be better for someone with PCOS and insulin resistance. I, too, have these conditions and it is best to cut out most if not all grains from your morning meal. Protein and fat will keep you going longer until lunch, even with a lower calories count (I think the average chicken egg has 75-ish calories). I'm also looking to drop about 77 pounds. Good luck!

    EDIT: Edited to add that I don't count calories if I'm eating mainly fat and protein, but if that makes you feel better then more power to you. Whatever works! :)

    I keep it simple. 2 eggs over easy and 3 strips of real bacon.
    that gives me 387 calories and I am good to go for many hours.
    some days I drop one of the bacon strips and add in 2 green olives, and a couple of red baby bell peppers.

    My bfast during a cut is

    4 egg whites
    1-2 whole eggs(depending on how much fat i might have thru the day)
    1 slice of turkey ham
    a serving of oats
    coffee or green tea
    a cup of oj(the 50 cal one) or half a grapefruit

    I scramble in onions, green peppers, and the ham with the eggs, add a little salt and pepper and maybe a little salsa for taste, for the oats i just use water and sweetner and cinnamon

    I saute a big batch of veggies every Sunday so I can make 3-minute egg white scrambles every AM. My veggies are usually mushrooms and frozen spinach, but use whatever you like!
    Then I combine in a cup: 3 servings liquid egg whites (132g), 2 tbsp mexican shredded cheese (14g), and a tbsp of jarred bruschetta for yummy flavor (only 20 cal). Spritz pan with olive oil, add a scoop of veggies, then pour in the egg mixture. Cooks up in less than 2 minutes! I top mine with 1-2 tbsp natural ketchup. delicious and about 200 calories! I usually add avocado on top toofor healthy fat and satiety.

    PS. I agree with the girl who said 200 cals is really not enough breakfast. Sometimes I'm eating lunch only 3-4 hours later (work schedule) so I don't need more, but If I'm not eating lunch until 4 or more hours later, I always pack a snack - usually a slice of sprouted grain bread with 8g almond butter and no-sugar-added fruit spread, which brings my breakfast to ~400 cals.

    3 egg whites scrambled with sauteed spinach and 1/8 cup feta cheese or mozzarella. YUM!

    This with a slice of whole wheat toast.

    If she can do without the toast, then that would be better for someone with PCOS and insulin resistance. Once in a while is okay.
