I really need something new for breakfast :(
Calories don't matter to much seeing as I'm having trouble having my calories fill so something around 400-500 calories maybe? And low in sugar is what I am looking for. Does anyone have any good idead or recipes?

    omelettes!
    use an egg substitute, some cheese, ham, veggies, etc.

    This week I tried something different for breakfast. I was tired of making bad choices because I was rushed so here is what I did. On Sunday evening I baked a Spinach Frittata and cooked some turkey bacon. That way all I had to do in the morning was grab and go. It was awesome to have a "cooked" breakfast every morning. I might try something different next week though because I might get burned out on it.
    I had never made a frittata before but all I did was heat spinach up in a saucepan, mix 7 eggs (egg subistitute), a tiny bit of salt and some pepper, low fat shredded cheddar cheese and a pinch of onion powder in a bowl. Then put the spinach in the bottom of a glass casserole dish (a somewhat small one) and poured the egg mixture on top of that. Put some cherry tomatos in for good measure. Then baked at 350 for 30-45 minutes.
    Next time I am thinking about leaving out the tomatos and trying some other vegge.
    (my apologies for lack of exact measurements)

    My latest favorite: (sounds weird, tastes good)

    small curd cottage cheese on waffles (think open-faced). I get whole grain waffles, so the carbs are all complex, and the cottage cheese adds protein.

    Also, you can cram a lot of food into a smoothie. (I don't have a biggish appetite first thing)

    Don't know what you usually have, but here are my multiple-choice breakfast options. Most are a little less than your calorie range, but you can always add a mid-morning snack as a pick-me-up.

    1) Whole grain English muffin with Country Crock light (yum) or no sugar added jelly
    2) Same English muffin, but with a poached egg or 2 egg whites and cheese (reduced fat or regular)
    3) Oatmeal with vanilla extract and a packet or two of sugar substitute
    4) Egg white omelet with asparagus, spinach, and feta
    5) Yogurt (low fat and low sugar) and granola or Grape Nuts
    6) Leftovers!!! (assuming you ate healthily the night before)

    I just tried Jimmy Dean Delights whole wheat english muffin, turkey sausage, egg whites and cheese. I was a good break from my oatmeal with blueberries and is 270 calories.

    This morning I made a smoothie with 1 banana, 1 cup of soy milk, a little vanilla extract, ice, and a scoop of protein powder. Oh yes, also 3 equals. It is a huge smoothie and tastes like a milk shake. I'm hooked...it's about 293 cals.
