    I love breakfast, and have to have a filling one. My breakfasts are usually 300-400 calories. That helps keep me full longer.

    But I can give you at least one idea if you want a lower cal breafast. A deep chocolate vitatop muffin and a glass of milk will be under 200 calories depending on what kind of milk, and how big a glass.

    I usually have 1 Tb of peanutbutter on my vitatop, half a banana and 6 oz of 2% milk. I think that is around 350 calories. But you can fix it how you like. You could skip the milk and have tea. Though I am trying to get 3 servings of dairy in everyday to help with my weight loss.

    Sometimes I will have 1 egg, 1 slice of toast(sometimes with 1 Tb butter) and a glass of milk. The egg is 70 calories, the toast is 100 or less, the butter is 100 and milk is under 100. Leave out the butter or the milk and it is only 270. Throw in berries or your favorite fruit will help you to be fuller and doesn't add very many calories at all.

    I LOVE VITATOPS! I totally never thought to put pb and banana on one either and now I'm stoked. I like mine as dessert wtih a scoop of frozen yogurt and some strawberries or almonds!

    Plain oatmeal mixed with 1/2 cup of fresh fruit and peanut butter.
    4 egg whites with veggies in them.

    oh that sounds reaaally good.
    Any idea how many calories are in the oatmeal/fruit mix?

    Since I've stopped eating oatmeal for breakfast and cut out bread I have lost 6 lb. in three weeks. My new favorite breakfast which I have been having every day for the last three weeks is Fage 0% Fat Free Plain Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of honey, some berries or other mixed fruit and 2 tbs. of wheat germ. The protein in the yogurt keeps me satisfied and the wheat germ gives it a nutritional boost. Give it a try! : )

    My latest is low calorie, fast, easy and portable: egg white omelet with just seasoned egg whites (17 cal each) and 1 slice of Orowheat Light Whole Wheat bread (40 cal for 1 slice-it's tiny). I use a dribble of olive oil to fry up the egg whites while the bread is toasting, throw the egg whites on the toast, grab a napkin and run out the door. You can add more to the omelet it if you have time, but my main goal is to get something in my stomach and for it to be something I can take with me while I'm rushing out the door.

    I don't do low calories for breakfast. I want dinner to be my lightest meal of the day. On gym days I eat an omelet or scrambled eggs with oven backed home fries. On non gym days oatmeal with dried cranberries, or cereal with almond or rice milk and a piece of fruit.

    1 laughing cow cheese wedge (preferably french onion) - 35 calories

    My trainer said to follow this quote: Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper. We should eat according to our metabolism's demands and it's at it's highest in the morning since you've been "fasting" all night long. and it's at it's lowest in the evening because you've been eating all day long.

    With that said, I dont always do it. For breakfast this morning I had scrambled eggs, strawberries and almond milk.

    Four egg whites, half cup original oatmeal, bananna....put it all in a large glass and mix well.....add 1.5 cups of water and mix well again. In two minutes you have a breakfast shake to go. Thats my favorite breakfast. :)

    Ugh I'm sorry to say but this sounds absolutley awful!! egg oats and water?! yuck! but each to their own i guess..

    personally i love cheerios with skim milk, they are only 110 for a 30g serve and are made with wholewheat. yum!
    either that or scrambled egg whites with ham tomato and low fat cheese :)

    You may not want to eat it everyday or anything, but you could occasionally have what you want without too much damage. Below is an example of two pancakes with syrup and an egg white omelet with sausage in it. For a total of 347 calories.....Just gotta watch your portions.

    Van's - All Natural Buttermilk Pancake, 2 pancakes (88g) 170 cals
    Log Cabin - 100% Pure Maple Syrup, 0.0625 cup 55 cals
    Onions - Raw, 0.5 cup, chopped 34 cals
    Organic Valley - Egg Whites, 0.33 cup 33 cals
    Raw Green Bell Peppers - Green Bell Peppers, 10 Strips 5 cals
    Applegate Farms - Breakfast Sausage 1 links 50 cals
    I agree with this. This morning I had chocolate chip pancakes, 2 slices turkey bacon, and a hard boiled egg for 330 calories.

    I'm just starting today but have a plan to make frozen breakfast sanwhiches. Turkey sausage, 2% cheese, egg substitute on whole wheat english muffins. Very filling. You can make batches up and freeze so they are easy to grab out the door.
