    Make the sandwiches yourself. The night before, cook an egg and keep it the size that will fit on an english muffin I use wheat). In the morning, toast the english muffin. While it is toasting, microwave the egg for a few seconds until hot. Take your toasted muffin, add a wedge of Laughing Cow light cheese. Slap the egg on the english muffin and you are done. The sandwich has 240 calories. Not bad!

    great idea!!
    I'll have to give this a try along w/a few others here :smile:

    HEB makes a light sausage, so I usually make a egg, sausage and spinach breakfast burrito with whole wheat tortilla. Its really good :)

    egg puffs you can make the night before or the weekend

    scramble up some eggs maybe about 6....add in some cut onion spinach, chopped turkey sausage a little low fat shredded cheese and pour into non stick muffin pan and bake up til the egg is fully cooked and fluffy and then just grab them out of the fridge or freezer when you need a quick breakfast and nuke em and you are on your way.

    I make a quiche once every 8 days -- I vary the ingredients up a little each time... but I use a store brand pie crust, 8 eggs, spinach, asparagus, cheddar cheese, half & half (or skim milk), mushrooms, onions, pretty much any veggie you have in the fridge! -- I live alone so I have a slice of this every morning for breakfast.

    The calories range from 250-340, depending on whether you use half & half or skim milk and how much cheese you use as well... This last time I didn't use any meat (two previous times I used ham) and I used skim milk instead of half & half and the calories are 250 per slice.

    This is truly an amazingly filling breakfast. And satisfying for chewing and feeling like you've eaten something other than yogurt!

    Good luck!

    This sounds great! I will try this too but my grocery store, Weis, has their own Lite English Muffin that has high fiber and low calories and the muffin is only 80 calories and it is bigger than Thomas's! Yum!

    I like the Jimmy Deans Delights, tukey sausage, egg, cheese and muffin breakfast sandwiches. They are pretty tasty and super convenient. If I have extra time in the a.m. or sleep at my own house and not the bf's, I'll make an egg white omelette (and you can use one whole egg and one egg white if you prefer) with diced onion, green peper and little bit of cheese and some cholula sauce. Both are filling options that provide you with necessary protein and fat.

    I too love my bit of real food in the AM. I am always short of time in the AM but I bought Arnold’s flat breads (I get the whole wheat but they have other varieties).
    I take one egg add ¼ cup of mushrooms, or spinach and then scramble it in a small bowl. I pop it in the microwave for two minutes and there you go. I know the idea of microwave egg sounds weird, at least it did to me but it taste fine. I can walk away start my makeup and then I have a little yummy to take with me if I need to. If I plan to have a low cal lunch I may add two slices of turkey bacon for 35 calories a piece. I just lay them on top of the bowl I will pop in the microwave and it all cooks together.

    One of my biggest weakness in the past was the drive thru for breakfast but this lower cal option has been helpful. I also used to think that fruit and cereal would not fill me up as a carb and meat breakfast but it has, specially a banana yogurt and cereal have gone a long way for me.
