Breakfast?

I am at maintenance and mix it up a lot, but when I was losing weight Chobani Greek yogurt with fruit on the bottom (Strawberry, Blueberry are two of my faves) and a boiled egg. About 230 calories (depending on the size of the egg) and the protein is very satiating.

Oatmeal. Best I have found. Since I had a coupon, I got those Quaker Pouches that are 110 calories. Then I add some nuts or raisins to bulk it up. It keeps me going until lunch!

nice bottle of beer works well.

M - F I usually have a breakfast shake because I'm pressed for time. I throw some spinach or kale in the shakes to get some phytonutrients in there too. They're yummy, 20+ oz and usually only ~350 calories!

What do you consider low calorie? That's a pretty subjective description...

For this topic I am considering 350 cals or less....I should I put that in my first post.

In that case, see my breakfast from today and divide by two. I ate it as brunch after the gym which is why it's 620 calories, Normally this would be A WRAP and not 2 :P

Wrap + 2 scrambled eggs in a pat of butter + light processed cheese + 2 slices of ham = delicous and filling breakfast with excellent macros. Pair with fruit if you want.

I got this microwave egg cooker off amazon.com and I can cook an egg in the microwave in one minute. It takes me a total of three minutes to make a homemade egg muffin sandwich which I can eat in the car on the way to work

I use a glass 1C Pyrex storage container, it's the perfect size for them. I coat the bottom with a little olive oil on a paper towel and my egg is ready before my english muffin is :P

I really find having a weetabix sorts me out for a good few hours, also scrambled eggs are quite filling with grilled tomatoes - hope that helps

Oh I never though of that. What a great idea! The cooker was only 4 dollars though, but if it is dirty or I need to make more than one at a time I know what to do.

( replying to post above about using Pyrex for cooking egg in microwave )

My diary is open, so you can take a peek if you need ideas.

Lately, I've been eating gluten free oatmeal with blackstrap molasses, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. I add a chopped up apple.

I am a big cereal person.

Sometimes I do a protein smoothie. A scoop of protein powder, frozen berries, and unsweetened almond milk. It's filling and delicious!

Banana and black coffee, ~100cal total, and is enough to keep away stomach growling.

Two faves:

1/ Oatmeal cooked with water - then add berries in season or craisins in fall/winter. I like to thin it a little with skim milk after I cook it and I have now replaced the skim milk with vanilla protein and water shake - delicious! I also drink the remainder of the protein drink (Isolate). Total cals 237 (1/4C oatmeal-75cals, 1/8C berries-32cals, 1 serving of Body Fortress Whey Isolate-130cals) and 33G of protein.

2/ 3 egg whites and 1 whole egg scrambled with a handful of spinach, 1/4-1/2 bell pepper, some mushrooms, and onions and for a real treat sometimes add low-fat provolone. 192 cals and 23G of protein w/o the cheese; 242 and 28 with.

1/2 cup quick oats cooked with 1 cup water (nuke for 1 minute)
mix in 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, sprinkle cinnamon and add stevia to sweeten
168ish calories for the bowl and pretty damn filling. if you are hungry still a hard boiled egg with it should do the trick i usually have a hard time finishing it

A MFP'er once mentioned a banana pancake on a breakfast thread, and I have since made it dozens of times. Delicious, not too eggy (I don't really like eggs), and very filling.

1 medium-large banana
1 whole egg
2 egg whites

Beat it all together, cook in a skillet (like a pancake). Top with 100 g of strawberries (or blueberries or blackberries), and you have a delicious breakfast for about 250 calories.
