Filling breakfasts
Replies
-
I eat egg beaters but I buy the egg beaters egg whites. I have high cholesterol so I limit it. I still eat yolks time to time but not as often. These were an good substitute.
Egg white omelets is my favorite. Loaded with veggies. Of course, breakfast muffins would be excellent and portable.

If you don't have access to Egg Beaters, just use eggs. If you must keep it low-cal, cook the egg whites only.
Wow, I just googled this and it looks brilliant. Aww, man. There goes another super practical protein source I don't have access to where I live. Along with PB2 <=(
I can't afford to go through that many egg whites...plus I feel kinda guilty for wasting the yolk, hehe (I don't always, but sometimes I just need the whites!)
Hope you have access to this,OP
Not sure why you'd ditch the best-tasting part of the egg just to save a few calories
Not to mention how much more $$ it costs to do that compared to buying 12 or 18 eggs.
Because I'm a female, I'm short and I have to eat at a deficit to lose weight. I don't get too many cals. So at the end of the day, when I still need some grams of protein, but don't have many calories to spare, I really only need the whites.
Like I said, I don't always do this (I usually have 2 eggs... or 1 egg, 2 whites) and when I do, I feel bad about wasting the yolk. It's exactly what I said. So that egg beaters thing sounded like a great alternative. Which I guess is why people buy it.
Get it? Man, peolpe can be judgy about other people's business...
Lol I don't really care what you personally do with your 1200 cal a day. No judgment here.
Just offering my suggestion to OP, rather than wasting a bunch of money on Egg Beaters or throwing egg yolks down the drain.
Haha fair enough. I jumped rather quickly, but, in my defense, I'm having bad day. A bad day I say!
Cheers = )
I was quick to defend eggs. They make the sun shine.

For me 'filling' will depend on what time of the month it is, but typically...
- low carb/high fiber tortilla with cheese, egg, and ham/sausage/bacon
- oatmeal with nut butter (got to be one serving though)
- two fried eggs with 150g of refried beans
- two eggs, hash browns, and bacon
- whole wheat English muffin with ricotta (at least part skim) and honey
I need the fat and fiber to be full, pretty much.0 -

it's a kale and chorizo frittata, but you can substitute any kind of sausage and leafy green for the recipe.0 -
I like to do a 3 egg omelette with soem chopped up tomato and spinach cooked into the egg and some white cheddar cheese, ham, and sauteed mushrooms and onions inside. Then if you need more a light english muffin, a mini bagel, or some fruit on the side.0

I'm a big fan of my protein oatmeal.
1 tbsp slivered almonds
1 tsp ground flax
1 tsp whole flax
1/8 cup porridge oats
1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
Throw it all in a coffee cup at work, zap it in the microwave until its nice and thick and creamy, and...yummy breakfast, no mess no fuss

hi
I'm the type of person that likes to eat within 30 mins of waking up
I find if I eat a good filling breakfast & I mean FILLING then it can keep me going for hours! If any1 has suggestions on nice filling breakie slow calorie I'd be most grateful
I make chilled "Swiss Oatmeal". You make it the night before, and its good for 2-3 days. Very filing. Has oatmeal, milk (I use almond milk) apples, bannanas, raisons, and low-fat yogurt. Corner Bakery also sells it for $4.50 a bowl (350 calories). Let me know if you want more, or jsut google "Swiss oatmeal."0 -
For me oatmeal fills me up and I can last until lunch time. If I eat eggs or yogurt or fruit, I'm hungry shortly after. I also eat my oatmeal plain, no added stuff (but that's for consuming less calories)
Oatmeal rules as a hunger killer for me as well. This is my favorite way to have oatmeal: Baked Carrot Cake Oatmeal. Super easy to make and very nutritious. I've gotten rave reviews and every person has asked for the recipe. Best topped with vanilla Greek yogurt, I think. I make it on the weekend and then cut the pan into squares for an easy breakfast during the week.

Today I had 2 hard boiled eggs, 2 string cheese, a banana and a glass of milk. I wasn't hungry for at least 5 hours.0

Are you kidding? I posted the link to the recipe.0 -
Im usually the person who can never get full. But earlier I made a sandwich that actually kept me satisfied for awhile.
I took a light multi-grain english muffin, and filled it with 1 fried egg, 1 slice of sargentos cheese, 1 slice of hormel canadian bacon, and 1 slice of bacon and it was 352 calories.It had 24g of protein, and 8g of fiber. Of course if you can spare more calories, you can add another piece or 2 of the candian bacon or the regular bacon, but it won't cost you too much more. This might be a new go-to meal for me.0 -
Another one is "overnight oatmeal". I used this recipe, but instead, I use vanilla greek yogurt and whole milk. 355 calories, 18g of protein, and 15g of fiber. Next time after heating it up, I'm putting raisins in it to make it perfect. lol http://www.katheats.com/favorite-foods/overnightoats0

One of my staples is plain Greek yogurt topped with berries, pecans and a drizzle of honey.0
-
I've been mixing 1/2 cup Fiber One cereal into vanilla 80-cal Greek Yogurt, maybe a sliced banana or something too - very filling and super yummy. I will also sometimes have it for dessert!0

Last night I made a batch of the mini whole wheat egg sandwiches that I found on the MFP blog, although I substituted the ham for bacon:
http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/mini-whole-wheat-egg-sandwiches/
Since one of those wouldn't be enough, I also made a small "muffin" type thing (I'm using the term pretty loosely here!) out of spinach, zucchini, corn, goat cheese, green onion and flax eggs, and squished that between some flaxseed flat bread. Total is about 350 calories.0 -
Sounds like a weird combo but it's really good, filling & high protein (26g).
*1c plain 0% fat Greek yogurt
*1 small apple, diced
*1c diced celery
*1/4 c chopped walnuts
*honey or Stevia to taste
Mix it all up and enjoy! You get a protein, a veggie, fruit & a healthy fat serving all in one!

I've seen weirder, lol.
Hey, I do a snack that's very similar to yours. It just swaps the celery for carrot and grates it all:
1C plain Greek yogurt
1 small apple, grated
1 small carrot, grated
1/4C chopped walnuts
stevia/honey/brown sugar to taste
maybe some cinnamon
= )
(The original recipe uses condensed milk instead of yogurt, but those are calories I simply can't afford.)0 -

I'll have to try it with carrots! Sounds good!!! 0 -
try overnight oatmeal recipes, eat them right out of the fridge, room temp or heated. I prefer room temp.0

i eat english muffin, turkey sausage, egg and 80 cal worth of cheese everyday. about 300 calorie sandwich.
satisfying and lasts me until lunch.0 -
Low calorie to one person is not the same as another!
My breakfast of choice works out at ~300kcal...
Overnight oats:
In bowl/mug/container .. 50g muesli, soak in enough fruit juice (orange works well) to cover. In the morning, add 3tbs/80g low fat Greek yogurt and a big pile of fruit (I usually use mango or strawberries), mix it all up and Ta Da!... A lovely healthy, balanced, super tasty breakfast that will not only leave you feeling full til lunchtime but also make you feel generally super.
Give it a go. I tried it out a couple of weeks ago cynically but have stuck with it cause its fab.0 -
Egg white oatmeal is the best and TONS of protein.
1/2 c oatmeal
1/2 c water
3/4 c egg whites
Combine the above, microwave for 75 seconds, stir. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, repeat until cooked thru.
Top with almond milk, fresh fruit and cinnamon.0 -
I like to make an open face sandwich of a slice of Ezekial Sprouted Wheat bread with a 1/2 tbsp of real butter, 1 egg (fried in Extra Virgin Unrefined Coconut Oil), 2 slices of nitrate free bacon or sausage links and 1 piece of real cheese. Everything takes less than 3 minutes to do and it's a great balance of protein, fat & carbohydrates! Need more carbs? Do two slices of bread.0

One serving greek yogurt, one scoop protein powder, and one serving Fiber One. Stir it together. Reminds me of mortar - thick and filling. LOTS of protein.
Edit: 343 calories, 43 carbs, 7 fat, 42 protein, 14 fiber and 0 sugar0 -

4 eggs scrambled (tastes good either half egg white only or all whites if your tight on calories)
1 serving smoked salmon
1 giant handful of spinach
1 table spoon of flax seed
Squeeze of lemon
Pepper
Scramble eggs then add the rest all chopped up, low calorie, super filling, super yummy, pretty big and chocca with protein and goodness! Takes about 4mins.0
