Seems like most breakfast ideas I see include eggs...

Can anybody help with some 300 calories or less breakfast with no eggs?


Thanks!!!

    sometimes i enjoy chicken and brown rice for breakfast. i know it sounds weird but i got tired of eggs and oatmeal so i came up w/ another protien/carb combo.

    one of my favorites has become: sliced squash, zuchinni, mushrooms and chicken (or no chicken) sauteed in pam with laughing cow cheese thrown in at the last minute to melt in in .. keeps me full for a long time. sometimes i will throw a few cherry tomatoes in there, sliced. some days i will substitute the laughing cow for a sprinkle of real parmesan cheese...its so good on the tomatoes. you can eat a big plate of this for not alot of calories....see my diary

    Yesterday I had a slice of multigrain toast with peanut butter and half a banana and four pieces of veggie bacon. It was super filling and it was 30g of protein right there.

    Other ideas would be greek yogurt and fruit. Cereal with fruit. I like kashi cereal since it has a good source of protein and use almond milk to cut calories.

    I just had 1/2 cup of lowfat cottage cheese with blueberries. I also add a little splenda for sweetness and ground flax seed for a nutty flavor. It was really good. Less than 200 calories.

    I actually LOVE blueberry frosted shredded wheat.... particularly because it is sodium free, tastes good, and I think is pretty filling as well.

    I used to eat fruit & yoghurt for breakfast, but have since switched to fruit & cottage cheese for the extra protein. 1/2 banana, 1/2 c. strawberries, 2/3 c. weight watchers cottage cheese & a skinny latte = 298 calories.

    Alternatively, for my Sundays I'm going to start trying this: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/09/banana-nut-pancakes.html

    if you go to eatingwell.com they have lots of great recipes and very few require eggs. they also give all the nutritional info on each recipe.

    Protein is important for this meal...I try to do 30g of protein at breakfast several days a week. You could always substitute a protein shake...

    A portion of porridge/oatmeal comes in at 229 made with full fat milk and one tea spoon of sugar, less if you use skimmed milk/water. Then add lots of different toppings to keep it interesting.

    greek yogurt w/ fruit
    cottage cheese w/ fruit
    string cheese and fruit
    turkey sausage and whole wheat toast
    cereal + milk
    fruit smoothies (I put tons of spinach in my fruit smoothies because you can't really taste it) That way you get fruits & veggies
    meal replacement drinks (if in a huge time crunch)
    You can also supplement any of the above with a protein shake

    I like milk in the mornings. I do about 16 oz milk and then have a slice of toast or something. (I alsways try to eat something solid with the milk, so it lasts longer). Or a piece of fruit instead of bread, for fiber. I like the milk because it means I can get protein without having to eat eggs or meat in the morning. :)

    I'm really lazy compared to everyone else. I just have cereal with milk. A 30g portion of pretty much any cereal with semi skimmed milk is less than 300 cals.

    My staple breakfast is yogurt, strawberries (or raspberries), a little bit of homemade muslix and hemp hearts. Comes to about 221 cals. Recently I made baked oatmeal for the first time and is it ever good. It was 166 cals plus a bit of milk. Bonus with that is the pan lasts for several meals, and I'm sure it would freeze well - something easy to toss in the microwave every morning if you're in a hurry.

    Agree 100%. The way I see if we should be able to eat what we want when we want. Are there rules for what we are supposed to eat at each time of the day? Who says breakfast has to be eggs or bacon or sausage or oatmeal? :happy:

    Maybe I should re-phrase that. I think eating what we want when we want is what got us all here. :tongue:

    are you a cereal person? Aldi's has an equivalent to Kashi GoLean... it is Millville GetBalance High protein, High fiber cereal (and costs at least a dollar less than the Kashi brand). I have a cup of that with skim milk. With my coffee and creamer I am keeping under 300, and getting some good protein and fiber as well.

    I am anxious to try Baked Blueberry Pancakes. They sound so yummy!!

    It's 2c. pancake mix
    1.5 c. fat free milk
    1 egg
    1 Tbsp canola oil
    1 tsp. ground cinnamon
    1 c. frozen blueberries

    (butter and maple syrup, of course but I might not need the syrup!)

    Combine everything until blended, fold in the blueberries last...spread in a greased 15x10 baking dish and bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

    6 servings

    1 serving is 200 calories (without the butter and syrup), 4 g fat, 36 mg cholesterol, 527 mg of sodium, 34 g carbs, 3 g fiber and 7 g of protein.

    Love peanut butter in bananas!! Here's something I did a lot with my kids, but I've never really measured anything to know what the calorie intake would be...i didn't give a *kitten* back then...lol. You melt the peanutbutter in a microwave safe bowl until creamy, either dip the entire banana in the pb or cut up into 2in chunks and dip that way...roll them around in crumbled up multi grain cheerios...you don't want cheerio dust but nice broken bits. Set each of them on wax paper and chill till pb is stiff!!! It's how I got my kids to eat bananas!! We havent done that in forever....duh...that would make an awesome breakfast for me now!!!

    Today I had an English muffin with 1 laughing cow cheese, 1 sliced roma tomato and 2 turkey sausages. It was about 240 cals and I had coffee and half of a grapefruit with it.

    That sounds like a perfect breakfast I sometimes have wheat toast cottage cheese on top and sliced tomato

    You guys have given me so many ideas, thanks!!!

    Cottage cheese is going on my list for sure.

    Today I had a bagel thin with cream cheese and 1 cup natural, unsweetend applesauce.

    I can't seem to stomach the taste of yogurt lately. I tried so hard this morning and finally gave up. Why waste calories on something you don't enjoy? Too bad I have 10 yogurts I will be wasting!
