Need help with breakfast that fulfilling and low calories like under 200

I honestly eat 2 cups of chopped romaine at every meal.
At breakfast I top it with 1/4 low fat muesli or granola and one cup of fruit. Typically use thawed frozen fruit which I store in one cup containers in the fridge. The juice from the thawed fruit is a simple local dressing, has enough flavor, and moistens the muesli just enough. I also eat a high protein plain yogurt.
This breakfast is easy to prepare and FILLS me up.
At lunch I do the same thing, 2 cups of chopped romaine, 1 cup of cooked (from frozen) veg, 1 tablespoon of kraft low fat grated Parmesan, and 2 tsp of real bacon bits. I add a chopped boiled egg almost every day.
If I get hungry at 3 pm or so, I grab a high protein flavored yogurt to get me through.
Works for me, I'm getting the healthy protein, fruits and veg I need, running good calorie counts, and I'm not hungry before the next meal.
Kind of boring, but I am so bored of these last 15 pounds! They have to go and they are!

If you want a filling breakfast, try 6 egg whites (102) some veggies scrambles in (20), a half ounce of low fat cheddar (35) and a banana (90) a good fulfilling breakfast for about 250 calories. And plenty of protein. Or could even add in a turkey breakfast sausage for another 33 calories.

you *can* eat 1200 calories and make 200 of those breakfast, but if that is not sustainable for you, it will probably burn you out. If mfp sets your calories higher, why would you not eat more if you can and still lose? I could eat 1200 calories and I would successfully lose weight, but I would be hungry and grumpy. I eat around 1600 right now (I am fairly sedentary with a foot injury so I am only doing minimal lifting and walking) and am still losing around 0.5 pound per week. When I am healed, I will go back to around 2000 per day with my more active lifestyle and will continue to lose. The name of the game for me is making good choices for food (with some treats thrown in for fun) and eating as much as I possibly can while still meeting my goals. It's way more fun to eat a breakfast that I love, stay full on for as long as I need to, and not get hungry or sad about what I am limited to.

That being said, eggs with veggies, smoothies, and avocado toast (on fiber english muffin) are good options for lower calories with staying power. A nice treat is half a sweet potato with a tbs or 2 of almond butter melted on top.

Egg White omelette with a bit of cheese and vegetables or mushrooms.

I buy the "egg beaters" brand in a carton. Then just chop up vegetables, sautee them in coconut oil, measure out the eggs, pour them in, flip, cheese, eat.

I eat a Balance bar for breakfast every morning. 200 calories. I eat it over the course of 10-15 minutes - one small bite every 2-3 minutes while I log in and check emails at work first thing in the morning.

I have egg whites and toast each morning. But on weekends, I make big egg frittatas and make French toast waffles to reheat during the week with sourdough rye or a wheat bread. If I do the egg white frittata and one or two slices of French toast waffles, it's usually around a 300 calorie breakfast and I feel full until lunch time .. Feel free to message me if you'd like the recipes.

I eat small potatoes for breakfast sometimes...I know it sounds crazy but it's 150 calories with a little butter and cheese. I even put salsa on it sometimes. It's filling and tastes great. All though I am one of those people that can eat anything for breakfast

When I was pregnant I had hash browns with salsa for breakfast every morning. I still love it.

I like to drink a breakfast smoothie in the morning it keeps me full for about 3 hours. Especially if i drink it slowly i take it with me and just drink it within 30 minutes. Eating too fast can cause you to get hingry faster. But my smoothie is under 200 cal and has plenty of natural sugars and veggies that you cant really taste. Other than that i love egg whites with chopped up cooked turkey bacon and some spinach in it with a glass of almond milk. Ill have a half a bagel with a half serving of cream cheese with sliced strawberries.

I drink a protein shake for breakfast. It's quick and high in protein, low in calories. It's really versatile depending on what I'm feeling. I'll add a banana or spinach, or just do the mix with pb2 in the blender. Add water or almond milk and ice.
