    Any specific reason it must be low calorie? I eat up to 500-600 cals for breakfast. No lower than 400 or so works for me. I eat anything, ideally lower carb because I love fatty, protein-heavy breakfast. My diary is open, meal 1 is usually breakfast.

    I found that when I stopped thinking of "Breakfast Food" for breakfast, it got a LOT easier. The concept of Breakfast Food was dreamed up to make money for the companies that sell it.

    This morning I'm having a tin of Spanish style tuna mixed with 75g of cottage cheese on 4 x 9-grain Vita Weats. 246 cals, 23g protein, 25g carbs, 6g fat.

    No need to watch fat intake. It doesn't make you fat. Excess calories make you fat. Like Alatariel said, you can eat anything you fancy as your first meal. I ate a fajita for breakfast yesterday.

    I don't like to use a lot of calories for breakfast. When I do eat it, it's usually toast (low cal/high protein) with light cream cheese and lox, cereal w. milk, a scrambled egg on toast, or oatmeal. Do you have a favorite breakfast food? That might be a good place to start.

    There's another thread going on what everyone had for breakfast today. You can read that for ideas.

    I'm on limited calories too, being older and short. I like cottage cheese with finely chopped veggies and lots of pepper or alternatively, with some lemon peel, cinnamon and sliced almonds. Sometimes I also eat scrambled eggs with a lot of frozen spinach, and other days I just eat a protein bar. Most of my breakfasts are about 200-215 calories, and I drink another 100 calories (I love them and plan for them and won't give them up) in three huge cups of tea with half and half.

    Protein Pancakes! They are incredibly filling and satisfying. Or even a protein mug cake, so quick and feels like an actual dessert but will fill you up for a very long time. I never thought I'd jump on the protein powder bandwagon, but I can't believe I haven't tried it earlier
