I am looking to have low cal/carb/sodium meals.
I am kind of at a loss for breakfast ideas that are filling for hours without being hungry for some time but have a low level of cal,carb,sod.

Suggestions?

    Well, my favorite is oatmeal and berries with a hard boiled egg on the side, fiber+protein keeps me full. But if you want low carb, the oatmeal isnt that. I would suggest eggs with fruit or veggies for fiber.

    Try 3 egg whites + 1 whole egg with a tablespoon of grated cheese thrown in. Very filling and low carb.

    A tub of quark, 20g of protein powder stirred in, 50g of strawberries (my preferred fruit).

    Delicious, low cal (under 300cals) and filling. I don't think about food again until about lunch time.

    Veggie omelet or any egg dish (scrambled, hard boiled, poached, crustless quiche in muffin tin) ; greek yogurt with fruit; cottage cheese either sweet or savoury; tuna or smoked salmon ...you can eat wrapped in lettuce, low carb wraps or stuffed in tomatoes or cucumber wells; smoothies with protein powder

    Eggs and bacon. Don't be afraid of good solid food.

    isn't bacon pretty unhealthy? we have turkey bacon and it tastes delightful but its still not super healthy from my understanding.

    not too worried about carbs, but the fruits, six strawberries and a banana almost went over my amount what fit says my sugars should be. however i do tend before this diet not having almost any sugars in my diet and im known for low blood sugar. you think i should disconcern myself with the sugar part and focus more on the cal and carbs? carbs isnt too bad overall

    i cant stand greek yogurt or cottage cheese. tuna in a can is okay if drained? is ensure a good suppliment for the protein powder? i dont injest much protein. fruits and vegies are def a go.

    I don't do smoothies or the protein shakes because I know I can't stick with that the rest of my life to keep the weight down ;)

    eggs (I eat egg whites only)
    scrambled eggs with onions and peppers sauteed on the side in EVOO or avocado oil
    turkey bacon
    toast (low cal bread)
    Canadian bacon
    tuna (packaged in water not oil)

    My favorite breakfast is 2 scrambled eggwhites on a soft flour taco with 2-3 tbsp of salsa and a tbsp of mexican shredded cheese. Very filling and so good!

    Unless you have been told by your doctor you have to limit sugar, I wouldnt worry about it, especially the sugars that occur naturally in fruit and milk. Yes the fruit has sugar but it is surrounded by fiber which slows its absorption into your bloodstream and prevents the sugar spike and crash later, giving a steady amount of glucose for energy instead. Same with the oatmeal, the fiber helps slow the absorption.

    Most of the health warnings out there about sugar are referring to added sugars, not the naturally occurring sugars in fruit and dairy. Unfortunately MFP does not differentiate between the two.
