How many calories is your breakfast?

  • My usual breakfast is about 100-200 calories (Greek yogurt and berries), unless I'm feeling particularly hungry or forgot my meal at home, then I will have a whole wheat egg sandwich that will be moreso around the 500 cal mark. Those are good to have when I'm on a double workout day (lunch and after work) like today! :)

    I eat right around 2000 to 2200 calories a day. I find that when I wake up the first thing I think about is food, although it's better now that I've went from never eating anything after my evening meal to allowing myself to have some protein before bed. I typically never go over 500 calories for breakfast, typically in the 400 range. It depends on what I eat. Usually it contains a scoop of protein powder and I rotate between oatmeal, english muffins, or cheerios with almond milk. I've been really trying to increase my protein intake first thing in the morning. It's just so hard as I've only really eaten cereal (and lots of it) for breakfast my entire life. It's hard to find "breakfasty" items with a lot of protein. I just find eggs to be boring and don't have the time before work to make some lovely omelet every day with chicken, steak, etc.

    During the week I eat a 3 inch flat bread ham, egg and cheese sandwich from Subway almost everyday. According to their website that is 190 calories. My daily goal before exercise is 1470. On the weekends I usually eat later and skip lunch so we do a huge breakfast which could be anywhere from 500-800 calories. I don't usually log my food on the weekends, though.

    400-500. I usually do a hard workout around 11, and if I haven't eaten enough, then I'll be ravenous and distracted the rest of the day, even if i eat a big lunch afterward. In fact, I noticed that I tend to overeat throughout the day if I eat a smaller breakfast.

    between 150-200 right now, but that's cuz I'm basically only having a granola bar and tea.

    The oatmeal isn't necessarily bad... try subbing the milk for unsweetened almond milk to cut out abt 60-70 cals if being closer to 400 makes u feel bad... but when I was spending more time on my breakfasts that's generally the range I was at

    Weekdays: 250-350, breakfast is around 6:30 am and then I have a 150-250 cal snack between 9:30 and 10:30 am

    Weekends: 400-500, I usually sleep in so I wil have one big meal in place of breakfast snack 1 and lunch

    I eat 1750 a day
  • usually aprox 260-300 cals in a Protein shake, or the same amount of cals with 2 hard boiled eggs and some Silver hills toasted "Little big bread".

    On weekdays usually a protein shake (110 cal) and bar (150-210 depending on bar) with a piece of fruit (50ish cal) because I have exercise classes at 7am and eat the bar before, fruit right after and then the protein shake after the shower. So 310-370 most days. On the weekend it's either an egg and cheese omelette with toast and latte or homemade french toast with sugar free syrup and berries and latte so that's closer to 400-500 range out of my 1550 for the day. Weekends are higher because I usually get up later and then eat a lighter lunch.

    I usually have 200-400 calories for breakfast, depending on the day. I wonder if your calorie goal is too low? 1300 doesn't seem like very much.. I have mine set to 1600 based off of BMR. Its alright to have calories and carbs earlier in the day because it gives you energy that you will burn off throughout the entire day. I usually have yogurt for breakfast and a latte or a breakfast sandwich of sorts. Oatmeal with nuts/fruit added is also a good breakfast. Sometimes I even have a donut! Whatever works for you!

    It varies. I eat some protein before & after my morning workout then have the rest of my breakfast when I get to the office. Today it was over 500 calories combined. Yesterday it was only 320.
  • Mine is usually 200-300 calories but I tend to snack at 11am so I'm happy with a smaller breakfast.

    I usually go for around 200-400cals for breakfast.

    ^^^This^^^ I do about 200 - 300 for Breakfast, the same for lunch, I'll have a mid-afternoon snack, and then the majority of my calories for dinner and beer/wine after work. I make sure to have plenty of protein in the morning so I stay full until Lunch if that helps.

    Around 300-400 calories. Breakfast is a little more on the weekends because I get up a little later and I skip my usual morning snack.

    I usually eat vanilla yogurt on corn flakes. It comes to 261 calories. My limit is 1450, so my usual breakfast is 18% of my daily limit.

    My calorie limit is 1810. I typically eat between 250-400 calories for breakfast. Sometimes I'll eat some of it at 6:30 and some of it at 9:30 and just count it all under breakfast.

    I usually eat around 15 - 20% of my daily calories for breakfast. I tend to prefer larger lunches and dinners.

    Often it's just a coffee (with milk and sugar). If I have yoghurt with nuts and honey, it's about 150-200 cals, cereal around 250-280 cals, porridge or toast closer to 300-350 cals.

    The more substantial my breakfast, the more I find myself 'needing' loads of food throughout the day.

    I average about 300 calories and my usual breakfast is some oatmeal with a tbsp nut butter and 1 small banana.
    What I usually do is cook the oats on the stove, and while they're cooking mash half the banana and toss it in when its about half way done cooking. Then when finished cooking I pour into a bowl and top with the rest of the sliced banana and the tablespoon of nut butter.
