    I like Raisin Brand... It is high in calories(190) but great Fiber. its like 310 calories with 8oz milk and 1 cup cereal. I just love milk... but you dont need quit 8oz of milk so its right around 300 calories!

    :smokin: I had 2 egges, 1 slice of Sara Lee wheat toast, wedge of Laughing Cow cheese, and 1/2 cup 2% milk. That comes out to 270 calories. This fills me up for a long time. Pam

    I know this sounds crazy, but I eat cereal.

    A serving of Kashi Cinnamon Harvest with 2% milk is 310 calories. I'm sure switching to skim milk will get it under 300 :) It's high in protein (milk) and fiber (cereal) and I'm proud to say I had that at 6:30am and now at 11:55, I'm starting to feel hungry. I usually end up snacking around 10 am on an apple or carrots. I don't usually have time to make much of a breakfast in the morning, so cereal is quick and easy for me.

    306 cals

    OR

    2 boiled eggs
    2 Banquet turkey sausage patties

    270 cals

    I usually just eat a protein bar since I work out in the morning. Zone Perfect are my favorite and they are right around 210 calories. Since it's protein, they keep you full for a while!

    Usually my breakfasts vary but during the week I have...

    Thomas' 100-calorie English muffin with 1 tbsp peanut butter (90 calories) and a banana cut up on top (ranges between 100-150 calories, depending on the size of the banana).

    Today I had... A chocolate slim fast shake (190 calories) and a 100 calorie muffin.

    On the weekends I'll have something different and a bit more time-consuming like an egg white omelette with fresh chopped onions, peppers, and salsa with a piece of whole wheat toast.

    Hi! I have also been finding it hard to find new breakfast items to eat. Yesterday I had an english muffin with one egg over medium, one slice of bacon and one slice of cheese. It was 324 calories, but I am sure you could reduce the calories by using low fat cheese, turkey bacon and maybe a whet muffin.

    Real Oatmeal (not instant packets) and a banana for sweetness.
    It's way less than 300 and there's no salt and only good sugar from the banana. It's also filling and rich with fiber.

    Here are the ones I usually have...
    -Cottage cheese and a banana
    -Plain nonfat yogurt with granola mixed in
    -Cottage cheese and apple butter

    Add a glass of almond milk and you've got a filling, nutritious breakfast :)

    All come up to less than 300 calories if you stick to the proper serving sizes.

    I'm a working girl, so quick and easy is my style in the morning ! I usually have a Lean Pocket. Another favorite is a 100-cal english muffin toasted, 4 slices of lean ham (60 cals) heated in the microwave, with a slice of fat-free cheese (30 cals). 190 cals total. Hot, filling and delicious.
    Either way, I heat up what I'm going to eat, wrap up in a napkin and eat on my way into the office. It works. For mid-morning snack I usually will have a fat-free Yoplait yogurt . I'm still at or under 300 cals by lunch time. :blushing: Joni

    I'm a big fan of cereal, too. I like Fiber One cereals - especially the new frosted shredded wheat! 200 cals for 1 cup, but has tons of fiber and is really filling.

    Raisin Bran, Cracklin Oat Bran, Kashi Go Lean Crunch, you name it! I keep a box of Cocoa Puffs in the house at all time for a light chocolaty snack (or dessert even!)

    Hmm, fruit salad is nice - dip it in vanilla yogurt.

    Toast, homemade ham/egg/cheese english muffin sandwiches.

    Hashbrowns are surprisingly low in calories.

    I eat a lot of different things. Just be sure to measure the portions!

    I'm having a good time with plain yogurt, blueberries, strawberries, with either granola or Kashi cereal (today I used the harvest wheat one).

    Great options posted today!

    I USE TO EAT SPECIAL K TOO BUT IT IS SO EXPENSIVE! So I had to start eating eggs and toast and turkey sausage links, egg sandwichs, and now I bought Raisin Brand cause it was on sale + 1.00 off!

    I make myself a little "picnic" and eat it when I get to work.

    Hardboiled egg (80)
    Ounce of really good quality blue cheeese (100)
    5 Carr's Table Crakers (70)
    Some berris or grapes (50)

    300 calories. Since I used really potent stinky blue cheese a little is all you need and the high fat content keeps me satisfied.
