Need breakfast ideas < 300 calories total

Typically if I don't go the egg/bacon route (seriously, being diabetic doesn't always suck :happy: )

Whole wheat english muffin 130
Smuckers Sugar Free Raspberry Jam, 1 tbsp 20
Kraft 25% light Peanut Butter, 1 tbsp 80

Cheerios (1 cup) 100
Milk - Whole, 3.25%, 0.5 cup 73
Blueberries - Raw, 1 cup 83

It's super important for my blood sugar to get fat/protein/carbs in the morning. In the afternoon/dinner I can handle no carb...sometimes just a piece of meat will do it for me.

I have three Wheatabix with a teaspoon of sugar and 200ml of skimmed milk! I love it, a change from porridge on these warmer days It's 14g protein, and super quick to make and eat.

Do you like cereal? My usual breakfast is:

1 cup Kashi Go Lean (cereal)
0.5 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
0.5 cup blueberries
~~ 250 calories and 15 g of protein

I usually have a toasted English Muffin, with some margarine, and cheese, a cup of coffee and some fruit. It's usually under 300 cals. My diary is open.

Kashi - Go Lean - Original, 52 G 160cal
+
Blue Diamond, Almond Breeze, Unsweeted Almond Milk Vanilla, 1 cup 30cal

You can even go crazy and have a cup of fresh orange juice with that!

Breakfast

Two slices gluten free toast 180 cals
100 g peameal bacon. 100 cals

280 cals total

Thanks for the ideas. Some of these options look like they would work to at least give me some variety and be a little less calories than what I'm doing now. To be honest, I was hoping someone had a tasty, filling option that was only 100-150 calories. HAHAHAHA Now back to reality.

I've done this. It's not a 1 or 2 minute quick thing but it's possible. I can't remember the name of the tortilla's but there are some that are really low cal. 50 or 70, can't remember which. Scramble some egg beaters. Add a little fat free cheddar cheese and top with a tablespoon of salsa. Roll it all up and your out the door. If you find the right tortillas and don't go over on the cheese you can get in around 150. Really though, you want to do more calories than that in the morning.

Salsa and Cheese Omelet

2 egg whites
1 whole egg
1/4c low fat mozzarella cheese
Salsa - as much as you want! ( I usually use 4 TBSP)

Yesterday all I had was Mexican cheese, so there's more calories and fat in it:
Calories: 234
Sodium: 492
Fat: 14
Protein: 19
Carbs: 5

(You could easily add precooked chicken breast, luncheon ham, fresh veggies pan fried in cooking spray.)

You could make healthy breakfast cookies with some oatmeal, smashed bananas, plain yogourt, some spice , dried fruit and nuts. They're delicious and on the go! All nutritious ingredients in there!

I almost did not respond because all of my breakfasts are under 300 calories but 99% of the time they involve either eggs or Greek yogurt.

My best idea for you would be to eat non-breakfast foods. Anything you might enjoy for lunch or dinner, but in smaller portions or with a different twist.

Do you like oatmeal? Throwing in nuts and/or dried fruit (carefully measured) can make it seem a lot tastier.
English muffin with cheese and some fruit?

I don't have a link to the recipe he uses, but my husband makes some vegan pancakes that are really good and don't have egg in them. They are low calorie too. You could top one with a banana and some peanut butter, or have a small stack and keep it under 300 cal especially with sugar free maple flavored syrup (Cary's syrup tastes good, I swear!)

I don't know if you're a coffee drinker but for me, a cup of coffee (black or with almond milk) is a great way to round out my morning meal and make it seem even more filling & satisfying than if I just had water.

Good luck!!

2 servings of fat-free cottage cheese is only 160 calories. or 80 for one serving.
I usually eat 1 or 2 servings for breakfast I think that the dairy is more filling than carbs like special K. (which I have tried too).
My breakfast looks like this for 180 calories max:
1-2 servings of fat-free cottage cheese
1 large ice coffee. black or with truvia.

^ I agree on all counts.

I was under the impression that the OP would not eat eggs at all. But yeah, one of my favorite breakfasts is 165 calories. 77 cal Mama Lupe fajita size tortilla, fried egg, and 1/3 tbsp. chipotle ranch dressing. Fills me up until noon at least, and I wake at six.
