What do you eat for breakfast? I am looking for healthy low calorie ideas. Thanks!

As long as you measure out the portions, pretty well anything goes.0 -

Filling foods have protein, fat and fiber.
Low calorie = lots of water, and fiber. Veggies. Some people will stay full on fat free fiber (not me). A salad with zero calorie dressing might work for you. Add some grilled chicken for protein.
Instead of a "low calorie" focus, I try to focus on getting the most bang for my calories. Greek yogurt is high protein, but I look for lower sugar. Then I add some high fiber cereal and a few chopped nuts. Nuts are calorie dense, but dietary fat is so important for bodily function. You could start with plain Greek yogurt and add raspberries....both high fiber & low calorie.
Eggs / egg whites with veggies. You can bake this in a casserole and put on a low carb tortilla. Cheese would be optional.
Cottage cheese and raspberries.0 -
Oatmeal. Every work day. Easy-peasy and keeps me full. I'm not really a breakfast person though, so I'm sure this wouldn't work for everyone.0
-
Amen on the protein. I cycle between veggie-filled omelets (no cheese) and multigrain hot cereal with either fruit or veggies added. Lots of protein either way. I avoid toast and pancakes and other carb-heavy breakfast foods because they don't stick with me, and so they're not worth the calories IMHO.0

My breakfast almost every day is from Dunkin Donuts: bacon, egg, and cheese wake-up wrap (180 cal) and a large hot black coffee. Gets me through the morning until lunch 6 hours later...0

Fruit, mostly. Sometimes cereal, but that's so not low-cal.0
-
Veggie scramble. I use a combination of whole egg plus egg whites, mushrooms, onion, spinach, a little bit of cheese, and I dice a bit of a raw tomato on top. Low calorie and fills me up till lunch time0
-
I like to line a muffin tin with sliced ham then add avocado and crack on egg on top. Bake in the oven for 17-20 minutes. Delicious and easy!0
-
oatmeal with diced fruit, plain yogurt with fruit and fiberone or lowfat granola, eggs omlette or scrambled with lots of veggie and sarah lee low calorie breads, delicious0

Egg whites and Canadian bacon and cheese for low carb, no sugar breakfast and LOTS of protein.0

A toasted high fiber English muffin with 2 hard boiled eggs sliced on top sprinkled with salt and pepper. I've eaten this every work day for breakfast for pretty much the last year. On the weekends I change it up and put mashed avocado and fried eggs on top of an English muffin.0

This sounds amazing0 -
Protein powder. In my coffee. I can't be bothered with extra calories in the a.m. when I'm in a deficit or maintenance even. Protein is a must though.0

Me too! Almost like a religion. Best ever. But I fry eggs over easy0 -
I tend to rely on something like a bullet proof coffee. Coffee with a tsp coconut oil, coconut cream or whipping cream, and a scoop of protein powder. It is usually between 180 and 300 calories depending on the amount of oil or cream used.0

Yes, take advice from the guy that doesn't make breakfast. Lol
I jest. Society is funny.0 -

Whey protein in coffee? That's a new one...how does heat affect the whey, and what is the consistency of the finished product?
I might try that.0 -
1 packet instant oatmeal (any flavor you like really) + spoonful of chia seed, spoonful of oat bran, spoonful of ground flax (grind every few days - it'll go rancid if you try to grind up several cups). Spoonful of dried fruit if your bloodsugar allows it (raisins, craisins) + boiling water (more than you might think). Stirabout, let it sit for 3 minutes and enjoy. You can add a bit of coconut oil if you like more fat. I keep all the 'add ins' like chia, bran, etc...in jars on the countertop, when I'm making this I don't want to have to think or search for ingredients. What's handy goes in the bowl.0

Oats and protein.
At home this means hot oatmeal with protein powder and fruit.
At work it's a shake in a blender with oats, protein powder and ice.0 -
Lots of great ideas! Thank you!0

Hahaha! Well, it's quick, not bad for me, and gets me going. Now, if you asked me last year, it would've been a ham, egg, & cheese on a sesame seed bagel, blueberry muffin, and a large regular coffee... at a WHOPPING 1110 calories!!0 -
My go-to breakfast this week is half and half steel cut oats and Red River cereal. A half cup of each in four cups of water. I'll add dried fruit of some kind. Bring to a boil the night before and turn off the heat. In the morning, the cereal is plumped and absorbed all the water. I eat a cup at a time with yogurt.0

I don't eat a low cal breakfast, but I normally have a 2-egg omelet with feta and vegetables (usually a green and something else--today spinach and broccoli), plus some other kind of protein (today, smoked salmon, often greek yogurt), and some green beans I wanted to use up on the side (I'd often have fruit instead).0

before pregnancy i was doing hard boiled eggs sprinkled with lemon pepper0

black bean burger patty
2 oz of guac
one poached egg
270 calories; very filling0 -
My overnight oats are really low-cal and quite filling.
-20g rolled oats
-57g greek yogurt (I'm using Chobani non-fat Strawberry)
-1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
-3/4 tsp chia seeds (it registers on the scale as 1g)
-3g chocolate chips added on in the morning
150 cal, 23g carbs, 3g fiber, 8g protein, 3g fat
It's a really good combination for me.
