love those egg muffins I usually make a frittata and cut it into squares and freeze them spinach and lowfat feta and greek olives or fresh salsa and cabot light jalepeno or leftover vegetables and sometimes black beans and corn are in my salsa and that extra fiber is more filling than usual I am so glad you reminded me about these because I was getting bored with my hard boiled eggs.0

A favorite of mine is egg muffins...You crack an egg into a muffin tin & then stir in the veggies that you like. I like to add in sun dried tomatoes & mushrooms, sometimes just bell pepper, sometimes salsa. With these, anything goes. Super easy, you can make 12 at a time, and do 12 different flavors for a quick grab and go breakfast.

Chick muffins...12.5 oz of canned chicken (drained), 2 lg eggs, 1 tsp crushed red peppers, 1/ tsp lemon pepper, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 cup fat free cheese, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup chopped red onion and 2 Tbls real bacon bits..Mix all together. Spray 6 muffin tins with Pam. Divide mixture evenly and pat down. Bake at 350* for 30-35 or until brown. ENJOY!!! Each muffin has 86 calories, 3 grams fat, 423.5 sodium, 1 gram carbs and 13.8 grams of protein0

Does anyone have a fun ideas for breakfast. I am trying to keep it as low carb as I can but I recently developed a reaction to eating eggs. They make me soooo sick every time I eat them. I have found a re placer for things that include eggs for binders. Thanks!!!0

Yea I really like the eggs in the muffin pan recipe. I usually have this Monday -Friday while I am working. Fairly low calorie and keeps me pretty full. This is great with some fruit.0

Eventually I bought carnation breakfast essentials (sugar free, chocolate) and that is the only thing that keeps me full until lunch time. I used to make breakfast sandwiches for the entire week on Sunday, I'd wake up and make eggs or toast with peanut butter, blah blah blah. It's fast (I mix it while preparing my lunch for the day) and easy to drink (I drink it while doing my morning stretches with my cat).Calories

I'm sure liquid breakfast isn't right for everyone but it's the only thing I can stick to without wanting to eat every ten minutes at work!

For me, feeling satisfied has a lot to do with complex flavors. No amount of a single thing makes me feel satisfied. I spray a small skillet with olive oil spray, saute 2 oz pico de gallo while I chop some onion and a roma tomato. Toss those in, let them cook while I scramble two eggs, pour them on top. Flip it like an omelet, add a little fresh herbs if I have them, if not, some dried Italian seasoning mix. Top with a bit of fresh ground Himalayan sea salt and it's a satisfying breakfast. Takes about ten minutes including washing up. I can't stand eggs that have been frozen, but I can make this batch tripled and have three days worth in the refrigerator.0

For quick and filling breakfasts I love overnight chia seed pudding with berries (around 350 cal), oatmeal with peanut butter (260 cal), greek yogurt and a banana or protein bar (around 260). Hard boiled eggs with avocado on toast is also delicious. I also find bacon to fill me up pretty well. If you only have a slice or two and watch your sodium the rest of the day it isn't too bad.0

Egg in a hole! Use a biscuit or cookie cut to make a hole in the center of a slice of good bread. Lightly toast in a frying pan with a spray of butter flavored Pam. Flip it over and crack an egg in the center. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook until the egg is fine the way you like it. Flip one more time for a overeasy. Dont forget to toast your cut out piece in the same pan, you can use it to dip in the runny yolks. Two of these is about 350 calories depending on the bread you choose.0

45 grams of Wheat Bran, 50g of blueberries, 12g of Chia Seeds, and I sprinkle about 10g of MetRx Protein & Oats on there as a sweetener (or you can just use Stevia). Total for mine comes to about 250 calories0

"Flax muffin in a minute" + yogurt; more costly but soooo awesome like a milkshake: Raw Fit Chocolate 1 scoop, 1 Tbs coconut oil + 1 cup Silk almond or cashew milk + ice and blend until it is like a slushy. Since it has so much plant protein and fiber, it keeps me more satisfied than just plain whey.0

35 grams of Spirutein Natural protein powder, 70 grams of frozen fruit (I like peaches), 1 Tbsp ground flax seed, 9 grams Amazing Grass Superfood, a little stevia for sweetness -- whirl it up in a Magic Bullet Blender. YUM for under 300 calories. The higher protein and tiny bit of fat keep me satisfied for hours and the fruit gives me a little burst of energy without a lot of heavy carbs or calories.

My go to breakfast is Garden of Life products.. AM smoothie: GOL Raw for weight loss, 1/2 scoop. GOL Super Greens, 1/2 scoop. 30 cal 1 cup unsweet vanilla almond milk. 1/2 cup frozen blueberries. Tablespoon of chia seeds and same of milled flax. Toss in blender. Add ice or stevia as desired. I have gotten quick with this and out the door i go. I can go for up to 5 hours, until I feel my BS dropping.0

I do fruit smoothies that contain only frozen fruit, water and about 3/4 cup of unsweetend almond milk and then add one scoop of whey protein powder. I also have a slice of toast with peanut butter. Keeps me going for about 3-31/2 hours, and this is a fairly steady activity level.0

I find the most filling options for the least calories are either green smoothies or protein fluff.
For green smoothies, I use
500ml Milk (or milk alternative)
50g Kale or Spinach
175g Frozen Berries (blackberries, raspberries, cherries, etc)
50g Wheat Bran
You can also add protein powder, fat free greek yogurt or egg whites if you need more protein and seeds or nut butters if you want more fats, but the fats will increase the calories quite a bit obviously.
For the protein fluff, I use.
250ml Milk (or any other liquid)
25g Protein Powder (Casein works best)
3g Xanthan Gum (or guar gum)
Add all ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix for about 5-15 minutes and watch it grow. If you don't have a stand mixer, you can use a blender, which will be a lot quicker, but it won't thicken as much or create as much volume. You should be looking for a light mousse consistency. This has virtually no calories and the volume alone will keep you full for hours. You can obviously add any other ingredients, but it's fine on its own.0
