Hello, I need help with my calorie intake for breakfast part, I like to have a good decent breakfast that keep me full for the most the morning before lunch time I work 7.5 to 14 hour shifts. My trainer told me my breakfast is to high in calories... problem is I'm not big fan of oatmeal... especially if I can't have my brownsugar and butter in it... so please help... I eat eggs. Any other ideas.

Why not eat your normal breakfast and tailor the rest of your day to fit?0

how high was your breakfast and what is your calorie goal?0

Egg in-the-hole, it's healthy and nutritious. I recommend Dave's Killer Bread. Take a slice of bread, cut out the center with a drinking glass so there is a hole in it. Put a little butter or pam in the pan and toast up the bread, then crack an egg in the middle so that you make an egg over easy inside. After about a minute, flip the egg and bread at the same time and cook for another 30 seconds or so. Total calorie count is roughly 250 or less. Dave's Killer Break is high in protein (5g) and high in fiber (5g). So when all is said and done you have over 10g in protein for your breakfast and a highly nutritious and filling meal.3

Thanks I had that bread before, I need to get some and try that one.
and it different with the egg. Just one egg and 1 bread make that amount of calories? 0 -

I been trying to do that, just hard and my trainer thinks my breakfast still to high. I normally eat salad for lunch or light meal then dinner I eat a bigger meal so I can stay full for the night cuz I don't eat after 8pm0 -

I like to eat a low sugar cereal like multigrain Cheerios, life, or Barbara's multigrain spoonfuls, filled to the brim with unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Pretty much I have that every morning. And it's about 200 calories, plus low in sugar and carbs overall.0

ok, so up to 350 might be good. Egg, slice of wheat, 2 slices of bacon is around 240. Add a slice of cheese 320. 2 egg omelette with 1 slice of cheese is about 240. You might be able to fit your oatmeal in as well if you choose the right butter. More options open up around the low 300s number depending on what you do for the rest of your day.

Haha I just saw that after I posted my question up... thanks0 -
I concur with what cityruss said. I don't usually eat breakfast beyond my coffee (a 16 oz beast with one pack of Swiss Miss instant hot chocolate mix in it), so my lunches are typically pretty big. I simply alter my dinner and my snacking when I get off work to that.
And if that doesn't work out for you, why not incorporate a nice big fuji apple and a lot of water? I find apples to be wonderfully filling. Or maybe a large navel orange - or, best of all, grapefruit?1 -
Sautéed or roasted veggies (my favorites are sauteed kale, mushrooms and onions or roasted butternut squash cubes), topped with a runny fried egg and a squirt of sriracha or whatever condiment you like. I make extra veggies at dinner and use the leftover ones for this sometimes. If you have enough calories left over, pile it on half a whole grain English muffin or put it into a light wrap.
chicken sausage breakfast link (50 cal) + bunch of strawberries (25cal) + slice of toast (90-120 cal) with a little butter (35 cal) = 210 calories.
Yogurt parfait- 100 calorie greek yogurt + semi-thawed frozen berries+ sprinkling of granola or wheat germ should be around 200 calories if you aren't too heavy with the granola.
1/2 c. fresh pineapple (65 cal), 2 slices Canadian bacon ( 45 cal) and half an English muffin (50 Cal) with a pat of butter or laughing cow cheese wedge (35cal) =195 calories .
For me the most important thing is to get adequate protein, I will be starving in an hour if I eat a 200 calorie donut for breakfast. If I have some meat, eggs or dairy I'm good until lunch.

I don't eat bacon unless it turkey bacon only time I eat oatmeal if I put brown sugar in it. But I'm still not a big fan of oatmeal. For my eggs I been making egg burritos at first it was high calories now I changed it to corn tortilla with 2 or 3 eggs with Chia seeds and ground flax seed with shredded cheese and cabbage.0 -

that sounds delicious. I only eat turkey bacon at home as well. I recommend taking a trip to your grocery store as well. It was very revealing looking at the items that are truly low calorie and high fiber/protein. You just need a few items so you dont get bored with the same thing over and over again.0 -

Thanks. True I'm gonna have to go to a store and take my time and look at some stuff and change it up. Thanks for helping me.0 -
I go for 2 scoops of protein powder with water at 184cals then a mid morning snack of nuts, or a boiled egg or a piece of fruit works perfect for me1

I need good steady meals cuz I work out plus I work 14 hour shifts. So I gotta figure a way to stay full longer in the mornings before lunch. Apple and water won't cut it for me I'll be starving and mean.0 -
I can't imagine any breakfast under 300 calories that would keep me full for longer than 2 hours.
Your trainer is an idiot. It doesn't matter when you eat your calories. Some people like bigger breakfasts, some people skip breakfast completely... If you ARE hungry in the morning and end up starving all morning just to stay under 200 calories, it's just not going to do you any good. Eat more for breakfast and less for dinner. Easy.
This thread has great suggestions around 300 calories.

Otherwise the best I got is 2 eggs and 100g of refried beans... but that's 240-250 calories.

That seems very low, especially for someone with a trainer who must be working out a few times a week. What is your weightloss goal for the week?
My goal was 500g-1kilo a week, doing 90 minutes of personal training a week and 10,000 steps of walking a day and my calories were set at 2000 a day.0 -
Apples slices and cheese?
Cut up an apple weigh that and log it fill the rest in with a nice sharp cheddar.
Egg white omelets fullnof veggies.0 -

I meet up with my trainer 1 or 2 times a week due to my long hours of work... and then I do work out alone 2 to 3 times a week for 30 to an hour depending on what my mood or workout is on.
The goal to lose 2 pounds a week.... my goal weight is 250 and I'm 298 now0 -
I had 3 pieces of turkey bacon and 2 eggs for b'fast. It was about 250 calories and 30 grams of protein. I also had to eat half a pita (90 calories/5 grams of protein), b/c I needed carbs before the gym. You likely find that protein and fat are more important for a solid b'fast than calories (250 calories is low in my opinion).0

Also I did managed ge my breakfast under 710 to 351 today. I just had do some measurilments and change a few things but the way my trainer acted I was feeling off about it..0 -
Also if you are working 14 hrs straight with no chance to eat, why not pack a peanut butter sandwich (something non-perishable) and eat it right before you start work? I used to break my b'fast in 2 parts when I was a teacher.0

Interesting. 1200 seems fairly low for a current weight of 298. Is that the number MFP gave you?1
