    The breakfast that I have the most success with is scrambled eggs (1 whole 2 whites), fruit and coffee (with sugar and creamer). It works for me and makes things so much easier for my daily routine. On weekends I might have French toast or waffles, eggs and bacon.

    I have been having steel cut oats (1 cup) mixed with 1/4 c blueberries and 1 scoop protein powder and a splash of almond milk...OMG its so yummy!!! if I dont have time I have a protein shake...and I also eat on other days 1 whole egg mixed with 4 egg whites with veggies, 2 slices of bacon, 1 slice of ezikiel bread with ff straw jam; I only have this 1 or 2 times a week...but it is filling and I find eggs really fill me up...and so does oatmeal. I make a batch of the oatmeal on sundays so I have it for the week. the whole key is planning...

    Coffee and pills. I'm ordered to take the meds on an empty stomach and wait at least 2 hours, so... I may have a snack at like 10:30 like a cup of oatmeal or a banana.

    Oatmeal and coffee. I usually can't stand oatmeal so I tried to mix up the recipe.
    1/2 C Oats
    1 C Vanilla Soy Milk (Lite)
    Dash vanilla extract
    Dash cinnamon
    Dash nutmeg
    Dash salt
    1 Tbsp peanut butter

    Taste is fine, but the texture is what gets me about oatmeal. Maybe I'll add some dried fruit next time.

    2 over-easy eggs atop 100g baked acorn squash with 30g mole sauce. Breakfast nirvana. I use a corn tortilla toasted in broiler if no acorn squash for same kcal. 284 kcal of delicious.

    This morning was granary toast with scrambled eggs, plus lots of tea.

    Tomorrow morning I'm having porridge with chopped banana, almonds and cranberry.

    Two jumbo eggs fried over medium in real butter, 2 strips of very thick bacon, pan fried. 16oz coffee with 2 tbsp heavy cream.

    500ish cals

    ETA: I only eat two "meals" per day, so my breakfast is never earlier than 11am and sometimes as late as 2pm. I may have the coffee earlier (I am up at 6:15 every weekday and most Saturdays), but the food is nearly always later.

    Hmm.... When I am not dieting, I usually end up having days where my breakfast is 500 calories too.... I suppose it could be possible to maintain a 1500 to 1800 calorie diet day, if each meal was equally 500 to 600 calories.


    If I was to eat thrice a day, I would cut down that breakfast likely to just 2 large eggs in butter and coffee. Would cut 160 cals off from the bacon. And the only reason it's jumbo eggs right now is: farmer's market fresh eggs! My usual grocery store ones are large.

    And, let's call what I am doing dieting. I am 0.7lbs off 100 lost.

    Mostly I eat a pack of oatmeal with a scoop of vanilla protein and flax seed with a cup of coffee. I have altered a friendship bread lately making it low fat, high protein & low sugar so I have been enjoying it with coffee & a protein shake for extra protein. Other times, usually on the weekends when I have more time to cook, I enjoy a spinach egg white scramble with feta cheese and a slice of multi grain thin bread or a scramble with green peppers, onions & eggs or eggs and mixed veggies. I also have over 50 chickens so I make a lot of hard boiled eggs & peel them in advance and grab them on the go to eat. All yum,

    My favorite breakfast is a green smoothie
    1oz avocado
    .5oz cream cheese
    1/2 scoop unflavored protein powder
    1 pastured egg
    frozen strawberries 3.0 ounces
    1 stevia packet

    That's around 300 calories or so when I add in the coffee and 1/2 and 1/2.

    Today I had 1.5oz roasted butternut squash pureed, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, 5oz unsweetened almond milk. Heated to make it a porridge and topped it with a tablespoon of granola.

    I often have banana and peanut butter on a slice of wholemeal toast, but recently I've taken to 100g low fat natural yogurt with either pomegranate (around 120 calories) or banana (around 270), sometimes with 15g almonds and 10g dried cranberries mixed in too (add 187). Both keep me satisfied until lunch.

    What I do with eggs is to try and make them as big as possible - i.e. I don't scramble them down into nothing but opt for poached most of the time to avoid unnecessary calories and fat in frying too. I'll then cook a load of small tomatoes, or a couple big ones in the oven for 15 minutes. This is either accompanied by one or two small slices of toast (55 kcal each) or followed by a bowl of around 30g porridge with water and some berries. I use a bit of sweetener to further sweeten, and avoid syrups and sugar. This comes to between 250 and 400 calories depending on what combinations of the above I decide to have based on my hunger and cravings that morning.

    Eggs when I have time (sometimes with toast or tortillas, sometimes not). Otherwise, protein shake or Greek yogurt smoothie when I'm on the go. Or just coffee and milk. I'm not a "breakfast" person usually, I just put enough in my belly to wake me up. I much prefer to eat more later in the day.

    Protein/fiber bar.... I know it is lame BUT that is sort of how my morning goes. I'll eat better for lunch and dinner but mornings usually consist of meal replacement. I used to eat nothing prior to lunch but I have at least made an effort to do the bars.

    My (technically) breakfast for today is amazing creamy chia pudding. 2 tbsp chia seeds, 2 tbsp oatmeal, 1.25 cup almond milk, some maple syrup, vanilla and a couple teaspoons of lemon juice. All in a blender until really smooth then in the fridge for a few hours. After that I mashed a banana and combined it with the pudding, and topped it with a dusting of cinnamon, dried coconut and a few raisins.

    Thick and creamy 450 calories of goodness that fills me up for hours.

    I think your breakfasts look fine as long as you count that within your defecit target and don't get starving later

    personally I have breakfasts of around 200 calories - sometimes 350 ..

    this week I've had (and I always count 50 calories for a 100ml Semi-skimmed milk in this allowance for my daily coffees)

    Sachet of porridge (Oat So Simple) made with water and 5g honey (180 Calories)

    White Farmhouse bread toasted topped with about 2 scrambled egg whites with mushrooms and 10g grated cheddar (232 Calories)

    2 slices white farmhouse bread toasted with 2 rashers grilled bacon (fat removed), 5g butter and 15g of tomato ketchup (360 calories)

    bizarrely the porridge is my favourite generally
