Here's a recipe for a pancake. I add a scoop of vanilla whey protein but you can substitute that for vanilla extra or some other flavor. I usually make a few days worth one night so all I have to do is pour the batter into the skillet.
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup greek yogurt
1/4 cup egg whites
1/4 cup almond milk
1 scoop vanilla whey (substitute with vanilla extract if you don't want the extra protein)
Blend everything in a food processor. Cook in skillet. Add some maple syrup.
380 cal - 47g protein - 41g carbs - 5g Fat0 -
My favorite breakfasts:
1) Wasabi Egg Wrap. 2 eggs fried in pam. 1 high fiber-low carb wrap. 1 TBSP Kikoman Wasabi Sauce.
2) Jalapeno Egg Wrap. 2 eggs fried in Pam. 1 high fiber-low carb wrap. 1 TBSP Spicy jalapeno cream cheese.
Both filling and totally YUM!
(You can tell I like it spicy in the morning!)0 -
I usually load on the protein for lunch and dinner.
My lunch is usually chicken breast (150 g = 248 calories ), brown rice (100 g = 112 calories), and a side of asparagus/broccoli (100 g = around 30 to 50 calories, depends on the vegetable).
Total caloric count for lunch is usually around 400
My dinner is usually chicken leg no skin (6 0z = 265 calories) and spinach (100 g = 23 calories). It's very filling, only 288 calories, and is awesome pre-workout fuel.
For snacks I have dark chocolate (50 calories per square) or a banana (90~120 calories, depends on the banana)0 -
I usually have a cup of raisin bran, a half cup of 2% milk, & a banana, which is around 270.
I love all the great meal ideas here, lots of things I want to try later!0 -

breakfast:
chobani fruited yogurt (around 140 calories). high in calcium. even higher in protein!
mixed with bran buds (All Bran). (80 calories). Half of your dietary fiber for the day.
to round off the 300 calories...some fruit or a hard boiled egg.0 -
OOOOOOO I had the best breakfast today and it came out to 262 calories. I stayed satisfied from 7 until noon! It's kind of long, stick with me.
I started with this recipe I call breakfast egg stuff (because my creativity is lacking). I put this in the recipe builder. Each "egg thing" comes out to 45 cals. Here's the recipe:
6 egg whites
3 eggs
Water (enough that when you scramble the eggs it makes them fluffy. Prob about 1/4 c)
Salt & pepper to taste (I prob used 1/2 tsp salt & 1/4 tsp pepper)
1/2 cup each diced red bell pepper; green bell pepper; and onion
4 links - Morning star veggie sausage links - heated
Heat oven to 350
Take a cupcake tin (the size that makes 12 regular cupcakes) and spray with Pam
Beat eggs & egg whites. Add water and beat some more (I'm singing Michael Jackson's "Beat It" right now! I'm so old)
Add salt, pepper, & chopped veggies
Heat the sausage links according to package directions. Cut it into pieces.
Divide the sausage pieces among the 12 sections. Ladle the egg mixture into each section filling about 3/4 full. Use your judgement. This mixture made 12 "egg things".
Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until done in the middle.
(I did all of that yesterday and stuck them in the fridge for quick breakfasts or a protein filled snack. Hey-45 cals! That rocks!
OK, so this morning I heated two "egg things" in the microwave for 30 secs. I took a Basil Tomato Flat Out (google it for proper name. They are 90 cals each). I heated the flat out for about 20 seconds. I then took a Lt. laughing cow cheese wedge (35 cal) and spread it on the flat out. I took 1/4 of an avocado, squeezed some lime juice on it and smashed it onto the cheese. I added a few spinach leaves and then squashed the two "egg things" on top. I rolled it and ate it!
Yum!

I eat instant oatmeal (generally just buy the lower sugar maple brown sugar Quaker instant packets but you can go with plain as well) with 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, 1/8 cup of unsweetened coconut milk, and two tbsp of PB2. It comes out to under 200 calories and tastes delicious0

Breakfast burrito -
Carb balance flour tortilla (120 kcals, TONS of fiber)
as many egg beaters as I want or 2 whole eggs, scrambled. (140 kcals or less)
2-3 slices of ham or turkey (50-60 kcals)
Add in some salsa or hot sauce.
Lots of protein and fiber Low sugar.

Breakfast:
1 light English muffin, 1 tablespoon JIF whipped peanut butter, 1 tablespoon reduced sugar grape jelly, and 1 cup 1% milk comes to 290 calories. It keeps me full for awhile. You could also do a 1/2 tablespoon of cinnamon honey instead of the jelly to have it come out to 300 calories.0 -
I got a breakfast sandwich maker. Coolest thing ever!
Mine are ~235 cal but I am sure with more cheese and bacon you can bump it up to 300.
Very filling and sadisfying by the way. I am not hungry for hours!0 -
Does anyone have good breakfast ideas that don't include eggs? I seriously hate eggs. I'm a big breakfast eater, but I tend to not eat 'traditional' breakfast food (hate milk, eggs, gravy....). I'm a picky pants....0

I'm not a big breakfast eater just need something. Bacon and eggs is good too or 2 eggs scrambled with avocado - yum!!!0

Overnight oats
1/3 c oatmeal
1/3 c plain, non-fat Greek yogurt
1/3-1/2 c unsweetened almond milk
1/2 banana
(I add berries to mine to mix everything up and I also add a spoonful of protein powder)
Mix together and leave in a covered container overnight in your fridge. Great to take on the go!
I mix 1/2 c plain, non-fat Greek yogurt with 1 spoonful of my special protein powder that tastes like cake batter (Protein Plus for $20 at Sam's Club) and then cut up a banana to eat with it. This is a new favorite of mine
Egg whites with spinach and halved cherry tomatoes. Turkey bacon/sausage on the side.

i dont know why but im addicted to oatmeal for breakfast.
1/2 cup oats soaked with 1 cup almond milk overnight, banana mashed in the morning and microwaved for like 4 minutes and i recently discovered adding unsweetened cocoa powder (im so late!) but i add around a tablespoon.
cant believe that it gives such a yummy chocolate brownie effect for like 10 cals a spoon with fiber and antioxidants.. so yum.
the reason i microwave it so long is it becomes kind of baked at the top, you know those homemade puddings when you let them sit and they solidify at the top giving you that "pudding skin" affect? yeah thats what i love and i do it with my oatmeal nomnom.
this was unnecessarily long.0 -
Breakfast is definitely my favourite meal of the day, so I make it a big one!
Once a week, usually on Sunday night, I bake some egg white muffins for the whole week. Each muffin contains:
- 4g baby spinach
- 20g diced leg ham
- 1 cherry tomato chopped
- 1 egg white whisked with a bit of pepper, chives and baking powder
Lay each ingredient in order in a muffin tin (sprayed with cooking spray) - bake for 30 minutes at 180 C.
Let cool for 5 minutes, transfer on a wired rack and let cool completely before storing them in sandwich bags in the fridge.
In the morning I just heat one up for 20 seconds in the microwave.
It comes to around 50 calories per muffin.
Then I have oatmeal with some fruit:
- 15g oats
- 1tsp chia seeds
- 1tsp flaxseed meal
- either 120g strawberries, or 100g blueberries, or 1 chopped nectarine, or 1 grated apple
- a sprinkle of cinnamon
- 100ml unsweetened almond milk
Mix everything in a bowl, microwave for 2 minutes.
Let cool for a couple of minutes and top with greek yoghurt (I use Chobani 0%).
It normally adds up to about 250-290 calories in total.0 -

I have oatmeal almost everyday. In a hurry I have Better than Oats (they even have steel cut now) or just regular old oatmeal. I've tried some of the crockpot recipes, which is handy because I then portion it out and just heat up each morning. I also like to add cottage cheese to my oatmeal...hey don't knock it until you try it. Or, applesauce, pumpkin butter (mmmmm!), PB2, berries, fruit, nuts, the list is endless. Search for oatmeal here and you'll find several topics. There's also several posts on overnight oats, which I keep meaning to do at night. I'm usually full until around 11 from it (I eat around 7).0

It is amazingly filling! (Plus I love sausage!) My husband and I make two casseroles on Sunday night, cut each of them into 12 even pieces, then refrigerate and freeze it, so we each get one piece with our coffee every morning. It only takes about a minute to reheat. We're going to add green bell pepper next week!0 -
For breakfast I almost always have Banquet Turkey Sausage links 100 calories, 2 eggs fried with two quick sprays of Pam 144 calories, and 1 slice of toasted Sara Lee light 100% whole wheat bread 45 calories. Total 289 calories.
I put my eggs on my toast and let the yolk ooze out on to the toast, instead of butter or jelly.0 -

Half a cup of oatmeal - 169 cals
Half a cup of unsweetened almond milk - 16 cals
tsp agave nectar - 14 cals

^that's 201 calories, leaving 100 calories for toppings, some I like to switch up and combine :
10 almonds = 70 cals
small apple - 50 cals
1 banana - 100 cals
