    depends on what your goals are... 2 egg whites is somewhere around 50 cals and filling where two eggs is around 140 cals and filling. personally since i do high fat low carb i just make the regular eggs with some cheese in them for a little added fat and protein, which wouldnt be bad to put on egg whites either.

    Every weekend!! I normally go on a 2 hour hike each saturday and sunday, so I burn a lot of calories. 2 egg white and 1 whole egg with assorted veggies and maybe some turkey sausage crumbles or some ham. Yummy!,

    Maybe opt in for more exercise, so you can eat more

    Eggs are a great example of low cal, high satiety food for breakfast.

    Stay away from crisps, kit kats, coca cola, and other empty calories. Eat fats and proteins from foods, like avocados, chicken, cheese, etc. they will provide satiety, and you will have calories left over at end of day for small snack.

    Good luck.

    I make a great dill dip. It's about 90 cal's for 4 tbsps. The veggies you dip in it will fill you up.

    1 part fat free sour cream
    1 part half fat hellmans mayo
    2 tbsps. (or more) dill weed

    Soup with lots of veggies (hence lots of fiber) -- there are plenty you can buy that are 100 calories per serving or less -- or you can make them at home on the weekend and have them during the week, even better because you can control what's in them. Just be CAREFUL of the sodium content in canned soup. Some are very high.

    If you can't eat breakfast...then don't eat breakfast. Instead, shift your meal times to what works best for you, even if that means something like lunch -> dinner -> evening snack.

    Look into Intermittent Fasting, particularly Leangains style, or "16:8" style (in general, they're pretty much the same, though Leangains leans heavily on branch chain amino acids, which isn't entirely necessary).

    I die a little on the inside when I read all these comments about only using the egg whites. The yolk is the yummy part!

    drink your quotient of water each day
    apples (good for fiber)
    string cheese
    oatmeal

    I eat 2 egg whites on either flat bread or some other type of lower calorie bread with a slide of reduced fat cheese or salsa.

    But apples are my favorite to stay full.
