less than 200 calorie breakfast ideas

I use the quick method at the moment: Corn Flakes (30g are actually a lot!...I was surprised) with light soy milk. A nice filling bowl for 200cals.

Mine usually come in at around 230 but I usually have one of the following:

Omelette made with 1 full egg, 3 egg whites, cheese, mushrooms and onion.

2 poached eggs on a bed of spinach in oil, lemon, garlic, salt and chilli

A Fuel porridge pot.

All yummy and filling.

Egg muffins like these or these are great to make on a Sunday and eat two all week for 80-110 calories.

I like a quick egg white and vegetable scramble with or without cheese or, like this morning, use a bed of vegetables topped with a runny egg. Shakshuka or huevos rancheros on a corn tortilla are really good low calorie options, or homemade breakfast burritos (I freeze them to grab and go on busy mornings) for 200 calories each:


8.00 tortilla, High Fiber Low Carb Tortilla Wrap (D8)
8.00 Slice, Turkey Bacon (25 Cal)
1.00 large, Onions - Raw
1.00 WHOLE, Whole Green Bell Pepper
8.00 oz(s), Spinach - Raw
8.00 oz(s), Mushrooms - Raw
1.00 container (30 tbsp (46g) ea.), Egg White
4.00 oz, 75% Reduced Fat Cheese

My go to lately has been apple "cobbler"!

1 small apple
1/4 cup quick oats
Cinnamon
Stevia (if you're into that)
Water

Dice or slice the apple and toss it in a bowl. Cover with 1/4 cup quick oats. Top with cinnamon, stevia, and whatever other spices you love. Add as much water as needed - totally covering the apples and oats makes a stickier cobbler, and less water makes a doughier cobbler. Microwave according to the package directions (usually 2-3 minutes). I usually top with more cinnamon. Mmmmmmm...

The calories are around 120 for the whole thing, and I'm full until lunch which isn't until 1pm for me! Even if I do get a little hungry before then, I can certainly afford a mid-morning snack with such a low cal breakfast.

I'll be trying an overnight oats version, a baked version, and a protein powder version soon.

a Thomas's bagel thin and 2 TBSP whipped cream cheese. 160 calories!

Try the 2x protein one! It's even better numbers for same serving!!!

My breakfasts are 250 and include coffee with a bit of honey and soy milk and some variation of:

• 1/4 cup quality granola
• 6 oz non fat Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon real fruit jam or preserves
• .25 or so cup fresh fruit

This week I've been doing a strawberry-rhubarb jam with fresh strawberries. Last week I had peach preserves with blueberries, and a raisin granola-Apple butter-fresh Apple day, and an apricot jam and basil day (weird, but good). Switch up flavors on something like this or an omelette and you can stay on track/get the nutrition you need.

Homemade egg white delight: (182 cal)
1 English muffin, toasted
1 egg white, pan fried with olive oil spray
1 slice Kraft skim milk singles
1 thin slice deli ham or smoked turkey

I put these together 6 at a time, wrap them and freeze in a gallon freezer bag. Easy to take out and heat up in AM.

Sometimes I add a homemade lowfat version of McDonald's "breakfast sauce" (the fattening sauce they put on their bagel sandwiches). It's just hellman's lite mayo (about 1/2 cup), woeblers champagne dill mustard (about 1 Tablespoon), a squirt or packet or Splenda and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Tastes like McDonalds sauce at a fraction of the calories. It's good on those mini whole wheat bagels too. I've made a lowfat version of steak bagel using breakfast sauce, mini whole wheat bagels, leftover grilled flank steak With grilled onions and skim milk American cheese slices.
