    Really? No meal should be under 300 calories... Either way have a fruit that's just about it

    Really? My breakfast is 247 cals & keeps me full till about 2pm. 2 eggs & a banana. Under 300 cal easy & perfect. I'll go home now shall I?

    I have oatmeal with nuts and raisins with 150ml of Almond milk, and 2 cups of coffee for about the same as yours too, and it fills me up till lunch. Maybe we are special snowflakes? :wink:

    Nope ~ not special snowflakes ;). Me too, I've always eaten a light breakfast, often a cup of bran flakes or oatmeal, milk, coffee. It fills me up til lunch and has never been an issue for me.

    Not convinced there's some rule that breakfast must be 300+ calories or that it's gotta be the biggest meal of the day etc. We're all different.

    NO NO NO do not remove the yolk they are a VERY GOOD FAT and have protein they are all around GOOD FOR YOU
    Eggs - Eggs can be less fattening when you remove the yolk. 1 large egg contains about 70 calories and 4-5 grams of fat. Now, when making them whole whether it be scrambled or dippy adds up! If you remove the yolk from the egg , you'll be removing about 60 calories and all of the fat. One large egg white contains about 17 calories no fat but all the protein! That is much healthier then eating 1 or more whole eggs.... so lets get cooking with them! Here are some great ideas.

    No no no no no!

    There is nothing wrong with eating egg yolks. They are full of nutrients and eggs are not high in calories unless you eat a dozen in one sitting.

    And an egg is just not the same without the yolk... I care more about the taste than the nutritional value :-)

    During the working week I usually have breakfast at 9am which is a Farley's Rusk at 70 calories (I know it's for kids but I love love love them!) and a cup of tea........but my lunch break is at 12pm so I dont wait too long for lunch.

    1 Kellogg's nutrigrain blueberry waffle (with no syrup) is 90 calories.

    My typical day - usually a 40g or 60g bowl of any cereal of my choosing with skimmed milk, a conservative lunch and a substantial (within reason) dinner. All the while I graze throughout the day on fruit, nuts, etc.. I can't stomach too much food first thing in the morning and it's usually 8am when I'm work that I eat breakfast. Weekends there tends to be a bit more calorie bias towards breakfast when I have more time and can scramble some eggs! :)

    haha may breakfast is about 500cals... *runs away*....

    brown rice, poached egg, I have chia seeds which bumps it up (60cals), as well as my protein shake with milk or soymilk and like a sane, healthy person I love my egg yolks! (not just for amazing flavour, but the fact that any health benefits or eggs are in the yolk).

    Anyway to answer your question... if I had to eat 100cals I would go for something HIGH protein, like eggs or just a protein shake. I would be ravenous otherwise.


    I still don't get why you'd want such a small breakfast!

    oh my, I want to slap people over the head for this! YOLKS ARE WHERE IT'S ALL AT! All the good stuff for you is there..

    So should I boil broccoli, throw away the broccoli and keep the water? (quoted by someone on this topic before).

    It's ridiculous. Eat the peel and not the banana? Cut off apple skin/potato skin? I don't get this insanity!

    Why?
    What are you saving the other 1500 cals for?

    This was my question as well.

    Might as well just skip it at this point.

    Meh, my breakfast is always around 100 calories - soy or almond milk w/ protein powder or chocolate. I don't like to eat in the mornings.

    Slapping everyone with different tastes or goals than you could be detrimental to your health. Better to just worry about you.

    yes I do worry about me, but it is sad to see so much misinformation. Cholesterol from foods is not evil, egg yolks are not evil. All the nutrients is there and it's just so wasteful!

    Sometimes, when one has macros set saying 150gm of protein, and 1900 calories to do it it, a couple egg whites can help make that difference. That may not be what the OP was talking about, but that's my situation, and I sometimes run out of calorie room all too fast before hitting my protein, and egg whites are a good way to help fix this.

    I still have a couple poached eggs on the weekend along with bacon, because food isn't evil. Cupcakes are malevolent, but otherwise...

    Under 100 calories? That ain't no breakfast

    ^^^^^^This^^^^^^ why only 100 calories, I would be starving in an hour if that was how I started my day. I currently eat 8 egg whites, a cup of spinach, 3 sausage linkes and a 1/2 cup of diced red potaotoes for breakfast....yummmy, now that's a breakfast!

    The OP has said in a follow up post that he works weird hours Not 9 to 5. Sleeps late and this is more of a snack type meallthan a full on breakfast. Am I the only one who reads the whole thread?
    Lots of good ideas here though.,,
    And egg whites only?? Why bother masticating.

    Breakfast should be your biggest meal of the day!
    I used to have a severe ED and even then I would eat practically all of my calories at breakfast.
    You burn them all off.

    You need those calories in the morning to jumpstart your metabolism, it helps you lose more to eat more in the AM.

    This isn't true. There is no such thing as "jump starting metabolism".

    Anyways, if you want a 100 calorie breakfast just because you think you should eat it, don't bother eating if you aren't hungry. You won't go into starvation mode, and your metabolism will be fine.

    If you just want a super small breakfast, eat fruit.

    Eggbeaters: Serving Size 3 Tbsp: Calories 25
    Sara Lee's 45 calorie toast
    low fat margarine
    You could add a bunch of onions and mushrooms to the eggbeaters to bulk it up.

    The good thing is that we can fuel our bodies at any time of the day we choose and they will still work just fine.
  • 3 in 1 nescafe instant coffee with a small aftereight chocolate piece...
    :)
  • I used to be one of those people that sipped breakfast, and it made me eat worse all day before I started the day hungry and would just keep snacking or eat a gigantic lunch!

    I know the OP says there's just weird hours with his work schedule so I would suggest fruit, dry cereal, toast, maybe one of those small granola bars.

    My typical weekday breakfast is around 250 calories for light soy milk and Special K Protein cereal. The protein filllls me right up!

    I always keep breakfast under 100 cal. My usual breakfasts are : a banana and hot green tea, Bob's Red Mill multi grain cereal ( I cook it with some raisins in it to give it a sweet flavor), one slice of Roman Meal wheat toast with Bummel and Brown spread and 1/2 apple, one natural valley peanut butter granola bar. I always drink two big glasses of water in the morning and try to have hot green or mint tea with it. My big meal is dinner at night with my husband and kids so I try to save up on breakfast.

  • My cappuchino is more then 100 calories.

    HAHA! That cracked me up!
  • Eating only 100 calories for breakfast would make me angry, so I would make myself a big cup of good coffee with a tablespoon of Kerrygold butter and some real deal cream or coconut oil. http://www.benhirshberg.com/1/post/2012/08/bulletproof-coffee-why-i-put-coconut-oil-and-grass-fed-butter-in-my-cup-of-joe.html

    For Pete's sake, people (I know Pete - he agrees), maybe this is a one time thing where the person KNOWS they should have breakfast, but have some grandiose plans to splurge at dinner. It IS possible that this person is just looking for some lighter fare to tide him/her over until some awesome meal that all you haters will most certainly never be invited to.

    judgey mcjudgertons.

    egg
    a waffle
    fruit
    vegetables
    actually following the measuring guidelines on most cereal
    cheerios in a bag
    quinoa

    LOL! Very true. I admit I probably judged a bit too. :)
