Breakfast ideas under 200 calories? :)

This is what I have pretty much every morning. Just discovered this bread which is higher in protein than most others so extra filling! I rarely get very hungry before lunch.
I boil a batch of eggs on a Sunday for the whole week to save time in the mornings - they keep just fine in the fridge (still in shells).0 -
I make what my co-workers lovingly call my "Breakfast Salad". Egg whites and usually some protein from the night before (chicken/turkey/pork), and I mix it up with spinach/kale, onion, tomato, celery, peppers, squash... pretty much any kind of veggie I can get my hands on. I like to sometimes mix in some dry kale krunch and I always add a dash of Sriracha
Lotts of protein & fiber and yummy. Very filling! I used to do Greek Yogurt with fresh fruit and raw buckwheat in the morning but I'd be hungry like an hour later. 0 -
Omelette of 2 large eggs (120-140)
.5 oz cheese (55)
Any lower calorie (so no avacado xP) veggies you want - I do 30g each white mushrooms and those mini peppers (about 20-30)
=(195-225)
Oatmeal with some kind of protein mix ins (nuts, PB, etc) for a little more sticking
PB toast on whole wheat bread (a little under a T is enough for 1 bigger slice of bread for me) keeps me full for a little while
A smoothie with greek yogurt (100) + some fruits for about (50) + PB? My 2 year old likes a PB and Banana smoothie (I don't like bananas so no input from me on how good it is).0 -
Try mixing the following: boiled egg whites, greek yogurt, fruit, breakfast bars or an egg white omelet with cheese.0

@30g soy protein isolate
30g spelt flour
pinch of salt
water
(add sweetener and flavor, for example cinnamon, to taste)
form a dough. bake in a pan.
high fibre, high protein.
And do not take that tuna advice or you're gonna end up with mercury poisoning if you're consuming it more often! (Apart from the other heavy metals that our industrial fish contains)
Did you knead the dough?
Thanks0 -
I use a soup with shrimp cilantro turmeric cayenne pepper garlic powder. The shrimp already contains salt. About 100 calories. But I usually eat the soup during lunch or dinner. I grab a snack bar when im too busy for breakfast. I put hemp oil in the soup. But that adds 120 calories. Or egg drop soup0

I have rice cakes and a sliced up banana and strawberries. I usually have half a banana (50 cals), 2 rice cakes (50 cals) and about 5 strawberries (30 cals) I also have a cup of coffee with a splash of milk (20 cals) so that's 150 calories 0

2 overeasy eggs with fruit (or half an english muffin or half a flat bagel).0

I can't believe no one has even mentioned the fact that if you eat a more suitable/substantial breakfast you'll be less hungry at lunch time and will be satisfied with fewer calories. Try having 300-400 calories for breakfast and see what a difference it makes. (Provided it includes protein, fiber & fat)0

Probably because it's a myth. If I eat breakfast I am 10x hungrier by lunch than if I don't. Happens regardless of it is. Not everyone's appetite works the same.0 -

I would guess that its a carby breakfast that leaves you famished by lunch. Eating 400c of fat/protein for breakfast and no carbs holds a person longer.

I like a morningstar farms burger on a light english muffin with cheese and ketchup. 275 calories and great protein. It's similar to a sausage biscuit. And no, not a vegetarian, I just like them.0

You should try with some sriracha if you like a little bit of a kick. Works really well with morningstars "sausage" pattieslevitateme wrote: »I like a morningstar farms burger on a light english muffin with cheese and ketchup. 275 calories and great protein.

I LOVE BREAKFAST SALAD!!
I even have a song that goes with it. My co-workers think I'm weird.

Is this an egg-based breakfast or a cereal breakfast?

Blueberry Vitatop with 50 cals of fruit and coffee0

I have no idea how people do this. My breakfasts are either 600-700 or don't exist (I just wait til lunch). Just a little bit of food tends to pi$$ me off. But I might try some of these ideas, interesting.0

Protein waffle with Walden Farms syrup and Canadian bacon0

Has anyone heard the saying "Feast like a king for breakfast, Dine like a prince for lunch, and piece like a pauper for dinner"? I've never been a breakfast person, but if it's healthier for me to do so I think I'd be willing to give it a try.0

- Homemade whole wheat muffins (recipies online)
- Vitatop muffin with a cup of 0% greek yogurt
- Low calorie tortilla/pita with 2tbsp PB2 and half a banana that you would grill on a Geroge Foreman
- A slice of Eggs-In-A-Basket

High fiber English muffin with an egg is 170, add a little sriracha or other hot sauce for a flavor kick I normally add a light and fit Greek yogurt which totals up to 250 or no sugar added red grape fruit to bring me up to 210..
If I'm in a rush one of those Greek yogurts plus a small portion of kind granola tossed in is almost exactly 200 cakes0 -
I've been getting into breakfast biscuits (cookies for you US types?).
Oh noes, carbs!!11!!, but they certainly keep me going till lunchtime. About 220 calories for 2 of the Sanitarium On the Go brand.0 -

I've noticed mine has to be just the right breakfast for me to not be starving. Mine is not 200 though xP I would much rather lunch be lower calories. I think it's personal preference and what you find works for you. Mine is typically 3 eggs + veggies + cheese + a slice of bacon so about 400 calories. Yesterday I ran out of eggs, ate the same number of calories but instead had 3 slices of bacon and half bagel with butter. I was starving at my first snack, I was still even sort of hungry after lunch. May have been in my head, but for me I need high protein and fat and fiber for breakfast. Other meals I eat carbs and am not starving soon after but breakfast is important for me.0
