    This is what I eat for breakfast (I'm never very hungry in the morning):

    Whole wheat English Muffin + 1 tsp honey + Coffee (about 150 cal)
    Or
    Greek yogurt/Fromage blanc + 1 tsp sugar + berries + Coffee (about 120 cal)

    I buy fruity prepackaged oatmeal, made with fat free milk & berries on top! Delicious and under 200cals!

    1 egg (70 cal) + 1/2 english muffin (60 cal) + 1/2 c berries (~25) = 155

    I'm a kiwi living in London and had to wait till my mum brought the Marmite over for me. I missed it so much! Now I have it almost every morning! ♥ But Marmite is so good for you cos it's full of iron and vitamins.

    This was meant to be a quote. Whoops.



    Anywhooo.

    1/2 a tin of baked beans is good. And around 160 calories. But I have an apple and a slice of toast with marmite with the beans. And that normally fills me up well. All together that's around 300 calories.

    But if you like eggs you could have a boiled egg (around 70) with a tomato (20) and a rice cracker with a spread on it.

    Oh, the possibilities. I guess it's finding the right combo to fill you up, and everyone's different.

    Agree...
    I try for about 300 for breakfast, around 400 for lunch, that leaves me around 700 - 900 for afternoon and evening snacks along with dinner. I usually hit around 1600 - 1700 per day

    Light bread - 40 calories
    ultra thin cheese- 40 calories
    Egg- 70
    1-2 tbsp salsa- 7-15 calories

    I can't live without salsa, but if you can the bread cheese and egg are exactly 150 :)

    We have Marmite in the UK! We always have had it! I am well confused by people not being able to find here! Mind you I hate the stuff and it is always when you hate something that you see it everywhere! Lol!

    On the breakfast front pretty much anything with fruit/berries and greek yoghurt on a slice of something is a nice fresh winner! Failing that if you want warm weigh out some oats and cook with water instead of milk!

    Editing to say that 150 is very low for a meal. Breakfast is very important and you have probably already burnt 150 calories just by waking up and getting up so I really wouldn't recommend a meal this low in calories unless you are going for a 6 meal model and will be eating again in short order. Maybe try some substitutions throughout the day to allow yourself more breakfast calories?

    I think for breakfast is better 250-300 cal.
    Really, why you need so low ??
    I like black coffee and some protein at morning :) 2 eggs + tomatoes, sezam seeds, mushrooms etc.
    Or a lot of fruits sometimes... Just fresh fruits. Then I'm full with energy too.

    This morning I had:
    Spray of canola oil (or not) 18 cals
    large tomato 100g sliced up 18 cals
    potato small 80 g sliced up microwaved 56 cas
    1 large egg 70 cals
    Fry in non-stick pan = 162 cals.
    Or have baby spinach as well, that will "cost" you 10 calories

    Lots of black pepper

    Have this & variations nearly every day - sometimes two eggs, fills me up, yum

    This has a bigger amount of potato and I used some butter so about 235 cals

    My mate marmite! Either love it or hate it! I hate it.

    Low calorie breakfast I like is 1 boiled egg and 1 toast or for on the go banana and apple. Muller lights are quite filling too!
