    Lots of things will fit in 280 calories. What's your objective for protein and sodium?

    Want something quick & easy on-the-go? I get a egg & cheese wrap w/a large black coffee almost every day from Dunkin' Donuts. It's about 160 calories, has protein, fats, and carbs. If salt isn't a huge concern for you, you can get it with bacon and it's only 190 calories. It's not huge, but it keeps me good for the 5.5 hrs between breakfast and lunch.

    One slice of toast. Top with slice of low fat cheese slice. Top that with sliced hard boiled egg. Microwave for 15 seconds. Enjoy :smiley:

    Also once cup cooked steel cut oats, with brown sugar and a bit of unsweetened almond milk.

    I like frozen breakfast burritos a lot, easy to nuke and under 280. I also like higher fat breakfasts, I find they keep me going. Something like some cream cheese and smoked salmon on a low cal wrap.

    I like to do a slice of this 50 cal. Double fiber toast and spread a 100 calorie pack market fresh guacamole from Walmart on it and top with an egg over easy. Filling and yummy.

    Porridge (half a cup dry and made with water is 153cal) is a very filling and low cal breakfast that I eat everyday. Fills me up for hours. The beauty of it is you can add whatever toppings you want to improve flavour, add nutrition and add calories if you want.

    Thanks for this info. For me 1 cup of cooked oatmeal was giving me 300 calories which I thought were lots. Still I felt hungry unless I added a banana, which added on the calories

    Is there a specific brand of porridge?

    oatmeal with fruit toppings usually does the trick for me! either original instant oats = 100 cals or regular dry oats =150 cals plus half a serving of berries or banana slices or apple chunks with a couple grams of raisins. usually at 200 cal or less. or you can have eggs, i like scrambled egg whites or 2 whole eggs scrambled and a half portion of oats with whatever topping & a bit of fruit. that usually keeps me pretty full, plus drinking water.

    For me, one cup of cooked Quaker oats is 300 calories. What am I doing wrong? Still feel hungry unless I add a banana, which adds on the calories

    My favorite is oatmeal (old fashioned or 1-minute) with a little brown sugar and a banana. However since that was already taken, Wheaties and 1% milk is 220 calories. Add a piece of fruit and you're in business.

    Any mostly-carb breakfast (cereal, oatmeal, fruit, etc.) leaves me ravenously, insanely hungry no more than a couple hours later. I'm less hungry if I eat nothing for breakfast.

    I have scrambled egg white with spinach, mushrooms, cheese and ham for 230 cals most mornings

    I microwave a lump of frozen spinach covered (what? it comes in little lumps like wheels and is about an ounce) for a minute
    slice in about 40 - 60g mushrooms, spash worcestershire sauce, cover and microwave for a minute
    pop 1 slice of white thick sliced farmhouse bread in toaster
    Pour in 85 to 100g egg whites (I'm intolerant to yolk you could do an egg) - because it's egg white I add a triangle of laughing cow light - microwave for 1 minute
    Fluff with fork to mix in the Laughing cow
    add a slice of honey roast ham or 5g cheddar
    sometimes it needs another few seconds
    on toast, lots of black pepper

    big mug of coffee

    yum

    You're counting a dry measurement as cooked.

    This. Standard Quaker oats are .5 cup dry (40 g) for 150 calories. Makes about a cup or so cooked.

    Protein, fat and fiber are filling.

    The only way I make oats work for me is added protein and added fat. Oats (150 calories) made with milk and some chopped nuts, or nut butter.

    Yogurt parfait with high fiber cereal and chopped nuts. Light lemon yogurt+ 1/4 cup raspberries + 1/2 cup Kashi Go Lean (original) + 1 Tbl. sliced almonds. Under 250.
