Filling breakfasts

I do a meal prep type of "cup" to just warm up in the microwave for breakfast! It's SUPER easy. Calories depend on how full you pack them or how many you make with the ingredients, but they can be anywhere between 75-100ish.
Ingredients:
1 bag of hashbrowns (20 oz- not frozen)
1 tube of lean ground turkey sausage
1 small container of Egg Beaters (I use southwest for a little spice!)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425. Spray pan w/ non-stick spray.
2. Equally distribute hash browns into 12 count muffin pan. I make a "nest" shape so that I can easily put other ingredients inside.
3. Bake in oven for 15-18 minutes.
4. While that's baking, cook turkey sausage on stove top into crumbles. Heat until no longer pink.
5. Equally distribute cooked sausage (I use about 1.5 T for each nest of hashbrowns.)
6. Pour 2 T of Egg Beaters over each nest.
7. Lower oven temperature to 350, and cook for 14-16 minutes.
You can serve them immediately or you can wait for them to cool completely and portion them out. I like them with some fruit, cottage cheese, or yogurt for breakfast!
I have many many more easy recipes using muffin tins for easy servings on my website too, if you want to check that out. theprettyplus.com/delicious-recipes0 -
For me, filling and low calorie don't go together. For a really filling breakfast, it has to be about 500 calories. I include eggs, veggies, toast, butter on that toast, bacon, and yogurt or milk.0

If you don't have access to Egg Beaters, just use eggs. If you must keep it low-cal, cook the egg whites only.0 -

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,OP0 -

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.0 -

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...0 -

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!

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.

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
