    How many calories do you want to spend? That will give us a starting place.

    Two eggs and 200 grams of strawberries would be about 210 calories.

    I like raspberries. They're low-cal and fiberlicious. Having a high fiber breakfast is one of the things I do, so the raspberries help with that.

    Breakfast cereals can be good sources of fiber, too.

    Whole grain toast, eggs, yogurt...whatever healthy stuff you like! :)

    I don't like a large breakfast. I usually have a light yogurt and 15 almonds= 175 cal.

    how do you define "healthy?" I ask because it's really a relative term...i.e. some people think carbs come straight from the depths of hell and have been sent here to destroy you...others like me, not so much.

    also, do you have any medical issues that would necessitate eating a certain way...i.e. kidney/renal issues, PCOS, diabetes, etc? these types of things will make a difference as to what would be healthy or not so healthy for you...someone with these kinds of issues are going to have to eat differently than someone without said issues.

    during the week I usually have 1/2 cup prepared black beans with two scrambled eggs smothered in New Mexico Green Chiles...otherwise I have a couple of scrambled eggs and some oats and blueberries. On weekends I like making curried lentils with a poached egg and sauteed greens. On Sunday I usually take a long ride in the morning so I opt for some buttered whole grain toast and fruit to keep it light and then eat a bigger meal when I return.

    Bacon on toast with a little cheese spread & baked beans.
    Very filling.

    I eat oatmeal made with almond milk (half cup each), which gives me a base of 165 calories (150 for the oats, 15 for the almond milk). From there, I add fruit (fresh or frozen), maybe some honey, nuts, etc. Sometimes I just do cinnamon and a teaspoon of maple syrup if I have no fruit on hand. There are so many things you can do with oatmeal. Mine usually ends up being around 250 calories with add-ons.

    If I'm very lazy, I may eat a bowl of cereal with almond milk and a piece of fruit.

    On weekends, I'm more likely to eat scrambled eggs and salsa, sometimes in a wrap. I occasionally eat this for lunch as well!

    Some of my recent breakfasts: Anasazi burrito (frozen burrito from Sweet Earth Foods), 290 calories; leftover pizza with Frank's Red Hot Sauce, 513 calories, (more calories than I usually eat for breakfast, but I balanced it out the rest of the day); Flour tortilla with non-dairy cream cheese and salsa, 310 calories; Bagel with non-dairy cream cheese and V8, 470 calories; Lentil sausage and tempeh bacon, 320 calories; Tofu quiche, 339 calories; black-eyed pea soup, 228 calories.

    When choosing breakfasts, I usually look at what I want to eat for the rest of the day and what my planned activities are (am I doing more exercise that day?). I like the convenience of eating leftovers for breakfast when possible. I don't like sweet stuff, I don't really care for cereal, and I like to eat more calories later in the day. You may be totally different. You should experiment and see what works best for your hunger, energy level, etc.

    what do you eat for breakfast now that you enjoy? Can you just eat less of it?

    My go-to breakfast is 1/4 or 1/2 avocado mashed on a slice of sprouted grain toast (higher fiber and protein than regular bread, and toasts up realllly well) with either bacon or turkey sausage, and some fruit. It's usually in the 250-350 calorie range. If I don't have avocado on hand I use 16g (about 1 tablespoon) of PB.

    1/3 cup (26 grams) of oatmeal, 1 tb (16 grams) peanut butter, 1 container of dannon light greek yogurt, and 1/4 cup berries. It's just under 300 calories and great combo of protein, fat, and fiber. Not everyone would like to combine this, but I love it.

    I normally like to stick to about 200 calories or less for breakfast as I prefer to have a big evening meal instead.

    So breakfast for me is usually just a yogurt and a cup of tea. But at the weekend I usually have something a bit more filling like a toasted cinnamon bagel or teacake with light margarine, or a boiled egg with soldiers or a handful of cereal with milk.

    I don't try for really low-cal breakfasts, as I want to start my day feeling full and energized. I try and restrain my calories more at lunch and dinner. I shoot for about 400 calories for breakfast, and I work to get all the food groups in.

    My favourite breakfast these days is overnight oats soaked in low-fat yogurt, sometimes made with chia seeds, with fruit and sunflower seeds or nuts.

    I'm personally not much of a cereal guy except for oats. In particular, I wouldn't be overly happy with cereal alone...I'd be pretty hungry a short time later.

    I've never looked much at the nutritional label of special K, but you should really start there and start learning how to read nutritional labels...you will also have to learn to put that information into the context of you diet at large, not one individual meal or food item.

    I have eggs pretty much every day for my breakfast...usually with either beans or oats...curried lentils on the weekend (though I also do like to make hash browns as well). I'm just not a big cereal guy and never have been. A lot of cereals are fairly lacking where actual nutrition is concerned...but I don't know where Special K stands on that front...and also, like I said...you have to look at your diet in the context of the whole; last night I had some goodies that were fairly lacking in actual nutrition...but really, it was irrelevant as the rest of my day kicked *kitten* as per usual.

    Greek yogurt parfait - layer yogurt, Fiber One (or Kashi Go Lean) berries and a few nuts. Protein, fat, and fiber counts are good so this keeps me full awhile.

    I also like oatmeal made with milk (for protein) and I stir in some nut butter. Apple cinnamon with chopped nut is good too.

    With reduced calories (and no medical issues) I just try to get the most bang for my calorie buck. Choose protein, choose whole grains, choose whole fruits (or veggies) and add some fat.

    I get very bored with breakfast and I'm always starving when I wake up, so I tend to rotate meals often.

    During the week I usually pack and bring to work:
    (1) 1 hardboiled egg, greek yogurt, and raspberries or blueberries.
    (2) Protein bar and apple or orange.
    (3) Oatmeal and fresh berries. I make oatmeal lots of different ways like honey and granola, peanut butter and jelly oatmeal, chocolate peanut butter oatmeal, or with raisins and a touch of brown sugar.
    (4) Today I was extra hungry. I had a pumpkin protein muffin, a chocolate peanut butter protein shake, and an apple.

    On the weekends I actually cook a bit more in the morning, so I'll make scrambled eggs with onions and peppers and hot sauce, and sometimes have a strip of two of bacon. Other days I'll make fruit smoothies, or homemade pancakes. To make pancakes and muffins healthier and lower calorie I use oat flour instead of regular flour, honey instead of sugar, and skip the sugary syrup.

    Everything can be "healthy" if you keep in mind your macros and monitor the types of individual ingredients you are putting into everything. I find it's easier to adjust my meals/calories based on how hungry I am and how much exercise I'm planning on doing for the day.

    My typical breakfast is 2 eggs scrambled with 2 cups of steamed baby spinach, a sourdough English muffin with a tsp of butter, half cup of mixed berries and my coffee with 2 tbs creamer... If I'm more hungry, I'll skip the coffee and creamer, add a couple slices of bacon, and switch out one of the eggs for 2 egg whites...

    I'm not stuck on breakfast food for breakfast, so the choices are limitless. I've found that once you break the idea that you have to eat a specific kind of meal at a specific time of day you have a lot more choice. My recent favorite is rolled lean turkey and ham with a handful of greek olives and a little feta.

    I see nothing at all wrong with those as a breakfasts. You might want to weigh things, though, and compare them to labels to make sure of the calorie count.

    My breakfast tends to be small. I eat a Fiber One brownie. Gets me the fiber I need, keeps full up until lunch, and is surprisingly tasty. And 90 calories. Add some G2 or iced tea and I'm good for several hours. Plus, I can eat on the run!
