    Apple? Piece of string cheese? A small tub of Greek yogurt is my go-to.

    I eat 120 calories of low fat greek yogurt with 150 calories of granola on top and then add fruit like a mandarine orange or a banana on top! Or I scramble 2-3 eggs with a glass of water and it keeps me full. Also, grits and oatmeal keep me very full.

    Egg beaters. I like the Cheddar Bacon Mug Scrambler!

    Spray inside of coffee mug with non-stick spray

    4 oz Egg Beaters
    1 tbsp bacon bits
    1/3 cup shredded cheddar
    salt/pepper to taste

    Combine egg beaters & bacon bits in mug and microwave for 60 sec, stir, microwave for 30 sec. Top with shredded cheese and enjoy!

    What do you mean by "low calorie?" How many calories do you want to eat for breakfast?

    One of my favorite breakfasts is either an Egg McMuffin from McDonald's (300 calories) or if I get the Dunkin Donuts version (same stuff) it says the calories are about 280 calories. It tastes good and has 17g of protein. Sticks to my ribs!

    When I make my own breakfast (yogurt, fruit, Special K) it often ends up being higher calories and doesn't keep me as full as long.

    I will usually do one whole egg, 2-3 egg whites, a serving of oatmeal, 2 pieces of turkey bacon. That's approx 310 calories, depending on what you prefer to put in your oatmeal and what you use to cook your eggs. No sugar added vanilla almond milk is what I try to use.

    I'll also do just 2 servings of oatmeal (I go for instant, 1g sugar oatmeal) mixed with my favorite healthy fruits & almond milk. This is sure to be low cal and yummy.

    Having a protein smoothie with fruits and a veggie mixed in also tends to be a low calorie option. It all just depends on what you like.

    Trying to "eat clean" for breakfast, like with these options, tends to make for a low calorie/HEALTHY breakfast.

    I'm not big on breakfast as a whole, but I like a nice peanut butter sandwich in the morning, maybe with some banana or honey if money's good!

    My favorite breakfast is cottage cheese and jam on toast...two slices low calorie bread toasted then topped with 1/3 cup low fat or ff cottage cheese mixed with 1 tablespoon jam (I usually use low sugar or low calorie of some kind). I kinda forgot about this one actually. I'm going to add these things to my own shopping list :smiley:

    The basis of my breakfast every morning is Ezekiel bread. I vary what I put on it, sometimes hummus and tomato, sometimes a thin layer of mayo, turkey and tomato, sometimes peanut butter and honey, sometimes an egg.

    Omelette with 1 egg, 2 egg whites, 28g Turkey sausage crumbles, 28g 2% shredded cheddar, tsp hot sauce. Plenty of protein while calories still around 220 - 250 depending on size of eggs and type of cheese used. Very yummy.

    I just made a chicken breast and Spinach quiche today in a pie pan. 7 to 8 brown large eggs. Roughly 250 calories? per slice, depends how big your slices are. Adding cheese will increase calories
