I need breakfast ideas - I like to stay under 300 calories if possible. I'm a night eater - but I need something to get the day started that's filling. I've been doing oatmeal for literally over a year....bored with it...

4 eggs cooked anyway you like0

Cereal, milk, spoon. Done.0

I do a protein shake with egg whites, strawberries and a cup of oatmeal blended. Delicious.0
-
hard boiled egg and an apple.0
-
banana smoothie?
I have a banana and skimmed milk with ice blended.
You could add yoghurt and honey to fill it up a bit more?
or plenty of fruit etc, smoothies are great0 -
Think outside the box. Eat things that are easy for you to grab in the morning. I eat wraps, leftovers, sandwiches, etc. Once you quit trying to eat breakfast food, your possibilities are endless.0

I try to mix it up so that I don't get bored. Sometimes I eat:
1) Lowfat cottage cheese, berries and turkey slices.
2) 2 boiled eggs, 2 slices of 45 calorie sara lee light healthy grain bread, and light jam
3) almond milk, cheerios, fruit, non fat greek yogurt
4) 2 Hebrew national 97% fat free hotdogs (45 calories each), lowfat bun (sometimes I'm not in the mood for "breakfast food" at breakfast.
5) 45 calories Sara Lee bread, 2 vegan boca patties (or morning glory mediterranean chick pea patties) (I'm not a vegetarian, but I still eat these).
6) canned salmon, nut thin crackers, 1 serving of miracle whip)0 -
My favorite is breakfast sandwiches: 100 calorie sandwich thins, an egg, a turkey sausage patty and a triangle of laughing cow lite cheese spread. It's only 265 calories and the protein keeps me full.0

I do a mini bagel with a morningstar farms veggie sausage patty, fridge oatmeal with fruit and honey (especially in the summer and I eat it cold), really seasoned savory grits (not instant) with a little cheese, egg "muffins" made on the weekend and frozen, ham slices wrapped around long strips of cucumber and dipped into a savory yogurt sauce.0
-
I eat whatever is handy:
eggs (microwave in 2 minutes or less)
leftovers from the previous night (I have had taco meat, turkey, burger patties, etc for breakfast)
protein shake
smoothie - berries with protein are great!
cheese
etc
Don't get stuck on 'breakfast food' - eat what looks/tastes good - there's a whole world of choices out there!0 -
Eggs, fruit, cheese, yogurt, cereal, protein shake, toast, fiber bar, granola bar, any other kind of bar, leftovers or make your breakfast the night before... I'll fix innards for breakfast burritos for a few days and bag 'em up. Then I can just throw it on a tortilla when I'm ready, pop it in the microwave for a minute, and tadaaa.0

Instant oatmeal is my typical go-to for breakfast. It's quick, easy, keeps me full and it's usually around 150 calories, depending on if it's flavored and what it's flavored with.0

I plan on trying some "egg cupcakes" this weekend. I will let you know if they are successful. They say they can be refrigerated for a week and reheated easily for breakfast.

My 3 main go-to breakfasts:
greek yogurt and granola = 360cals
cottage cheese and 1/2 grapefruit = 210cals
Breakfast Sandwich (2 eggs & Arnold's sandwich thins- flax & fiber) = 240cals
plus my coffee.
I've been mixing it up with breakfast burritos lately, and they vary. sometimes there's cheese, sometimes there's bacon, sometimes not.0 -
egg taco - one egg cooked in light spray of Canola on a SMALL flour tortilla (70-ish cals) with veggies and/or chipotle dressing
mini breakfast sandwich...sandwich thin with scrambled egg, veggies and/or veggie sausage
hard boiled egg and a slice of wheat toast with butter or jam...or do dry toast and a piece of fruit along with the boiled egg
refrigerator oats "my way" - 1/8 c quick oats, 4-6 oz plain Greek yogurt, fruit & flaxseed refrigerated overnight then mixed & eaten w/ or w/o a few chopped nuts
toast spread thinly with peanut butter or hazelnut spread and 1/2 sliced banana on top
"coffee cup muffin" - 1/4 cup oats, 1 egg, 1 tsp brown sugar, handful blueberries, splash of milk, dash cinnamon. Mix it all up. Stick in coffee mug in microwave for 2 minutes. I like to pop it into a bowl and add 1/8 c of sugar free Cary's syrup...so good!0 -
Thank you all - I really appreciate all the ideas...it's time to break out of the oatmeal rut0

This is sort of genius and I can't believe how ingrained eating "breakfast foods" for breakfast is in our heads...0 -
