What is the best thing to have for breakfast?

I'll usually eat a plain egg white omelette (seasoned with whatever I feel like to make it delicious). Usually fills me up or at least gives illusion of it, while staying really low cal.

i normally have 1 ruby read grapefruite it has only 74 calories and water that normally fills me up

Why don't you use up more cals in the morning, if this is when you're most hungry? This morning I had toast x2 ,tinned tomatoes ,mushrooms and 1 egg, scrambled with a cup of black tea and I am feeling pretty full and it came in at 364 cals - for a plateful! I also make sure I exercise everyday - and eat those cals if I need them, I could not survive on the 1400 I am allowed, never mind 1200!!

good luck!

40g jumbo oats - not the quick cook ones! made with 1/2 cup skimmed milk and 1/2 cup water. let sit over night in the fridge so the oats take on some of the liquid, microwave for 6 mins, sprinkle with cinnamon and top with 35g banana. tastes so good and is nice and warm to heat you up first thing in the morning. i always think if i eat something warm its more satisfactory! will keep you going until lunch no problem!

A fruit bar doesn't satisfy me at all - I'm hungry after one hour! I have porridge (30 gr) made with water, then add 100 ml soy milk or other non-dairy milk, plus 1 tbsp chia seeds, or 2 scant teaspoons of linwoods milled flaxseeds, pumpkin & sunflower seeds) and two dates.
The total calories are 277, but I don't feel hungry at all and when it's time to have lunch I'm not golfing it down because I'm starving!
If I go to Curves at lunchtime, I also have a snack (5-6 almonds, 1 small smoothie) about 45 minutes before exercising.
1,200 kcal is very little calories...my goal is 1350, and when I exercise I can eat more. Maybe you could review your calories goal?

I am also on 1200 calories a day and the breakfast I normally have are:

45g sottish poridge oats and 15g raisins/greek currents = 215calories
1 poached egg on homemade oatbran or one slice bread = 224calories
reduced fat bacon on a weight watchers bagle = 225calories

All of these fill me up from 7am till 1pm.

Good luck

I am also on the 1200 calories but I have 350-400 calories for breakfast. I am more hungry and there are more hours between my breakfast and lunch then my lunch and dinner. I have breakfast bar, string cheese, yogert and cup of fruit. I eat them thru-out the 8 hours between breakfast and lunch, I then just eat a salad for lunch with some sort of protein..
play with your menu and your times.. see what works best for them and best for YOU

I have a large bowl of fruit and fibre or Special K with skimmed milk and count it as 2 portions, even if it is about 500 cals! I have it about 7:30 am and it keeps me going till midday when i have a big salad with prawns or seafood sticks, ryvita etc. I found picking at fruit in the day not only added the calories but also found was having too much sugar.
On the weekend I had 2 slices of wholemeal toast and a microwaved scrambled egg is about 208 calories and sometimes add tomatoes etc. so means i have more calories for a yummy dinner or chocolate!
I have cut right back on the carbs but found i got a tired or hungry so added some rye bread or ryvita back in and seems to do the trick.
Only been doing it 9 days and lost 5 lbs so far. (im a big girl tho!!) I have done every diet going but this mobile phone app cal counter is so easy to use and i combine it with some of the tips and recipies in the Anna Richardson Body Blitz book. Good luck to everyone dieting right now, we can all be slimmer for summer!

I have a poached egg, a slice of lean bacon, some mushrooms fried in fry light and some spinach which comes in at about 200 calories and doesn't feel like I'm depriving myself.
