Breakfast ideas

If you only use one full egg and two egg whites, you get so many fewer calories and cholesterol in your omelet, but all of the protein you need to get through the morning. Egg whites are only something like 14 calories. It still makes a lot of omelet but is much healthier.

I just finished a scrambled egg with onion and feta cheese, and a tangerine on the side, less than 400 kcals.

I second the oats! With protein powder as needed. I make mine with unsweetened soy milk (lactose intolerant), add peanut butter (powder sometimes) and banana. Also really good with cocoa powder and cherries. Cinnamon is a must with any combo. Add a scoop of whey for extra protein. The version I had yesterday was 394 kcal, 18 P, 13 F, 47 C and a whopping 13 grams of fibre, which is key for any filling meal.

Omelettes or egg dishes are also filling. I never do egg whites only because it seems wasteful to me and 2 eggs with cheese/tomato/some low fat meat & 2 slices of toast runs around 400 kcal and keeps me full for a long time. (There are studies that have found that cholesterol levels and egg consumption are unrelated, although I don't know who financed these studies I'm not to worried)

For a to go meal I really like homemade muffins or banana bread with added protein powder, you could also make egg cups, like crustless quiches and reheat/eat them cold. You could do an overnight oatmeal or parfait, if you make it with low-fat Greek yoghurt it will have decent protein too. I like these in summer, in colder temps I heat overnight oats before eating (but not when made with yoghurt). Greek yoghurt with granola& berries is also quick.

I love breakfast haha

I saw a recipe on another thread last week and I tried it this morning, it was outrageously good! Pumpkin Spice Power Shake- 1/2 to 1 cup (I use one 1/2 cup +1/2 cup water) of unsweetened almond milk ( you could use regular milk), 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, 1 scoop protein powder, 1/2 frozen banana, a dash or two of pumpkin pie spice and sweetner is optional. My protein powder is already sweetened so I didn't need any extra. You can also throw in some ice cubes to make it colder. 250 calories, 33 carbs, 2 fats, 29 proteins, 320 sodium, 15 sugar (with the protein powder I use, yours may be different.

Typically I eat omeletes made with one egg and two egg whites along with some chopped and sauted veggies and sometimes minced meats such as left over chicken or ham and sometimes with a slice of deli cheeses or some parmesan. Low calorie, usually ranges 157-235 calories of deliciousness.

Eggs, pancake mix & strawberries. Made with non stick spray. Or egg white omelette.

Chocolate Protein Oatmeal Smoothie - This recipe is vegan but you could easily use regular milk or add yogurt to it. You could skip the hemp seeds & protein powder which cut 150 calories from the recipe. While it is a bit high in calories for me I can not believe how well this keeps me feeling full. I really love this recipe. https://richbitchcooking.wordpress.com/2016/10/11/vegan-oatmeal-smoothie-chocolate-protein-thick-creamy/

One bowl of hot rice with raw egg stirred vigorously in it.

Time : 1:30 (provided that the rice was already cooked).

My newest favorite is ham egg and cheese cups.
Thinly sliced ham (or turkey) in a cupcake pan with some cheese and an egg. Bake for 15 mins at 400 degrees. It's a great way to prep breakfast for all week!
Less calories? Use only the egg white or cut out the cheese.

I eat el Monterey breakfast burritos almost every morning honestly. Maybe not the healthiest thing in the world but one is only 270 calories.
