    I usually have a Dannon Light N Fit Greek Yogurt (80 C / 12 P) and a Quest bar (110-180 C / 12-20 P)

    Simple, but effective when you're in a hurry and need to get to work or the gym

    Lately, I've enjoyed a packet of instant grits (100 calories if prepared with water instead of milk) and a Cracker Barrel maple sausage patty (140 calories). Turkey sausage would be even less calories, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I'm a believer in pork sausage. ;)

    For breakfast I normally have one cup of Kashi go lean original with one cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk. 174 calories altogether

    A poached egg on a piece of rye toast with no butter and a banana. 55 calories for the bread and 70 for the egg and about 110 for the banana. M It was low cal and filling. It fuelled me for a run and then some.

    So many creative answers, I love it!

    Hopefully, this will inspire the OP to stop eating just a piece of toast for breakfast. I mean, geeze!

    I pre make muffin tin omelettes. I add in whatever veggies I want into a muffin tin and mix the eggs and a splash of milk together and pour it into the muffin tin with the veggies and top with cheese. I bake them for 20-25min and then have them in the fridge for the week. I usually eat 2 for breakfast and they are about 150 cal for 2, depending what you put in them. They keep me full till lunch.

    Agree...these are a great time saver if you make them up on the weekend to have throughout the week. Other times I'll boil a dozen eggs on the weekend to have during the week. On those mornings, I'll have a couple of boiled egg whites, and a banana with some PB2 (powdered peanut butter). If I'm splurging, I'll have a 100 cal English Muffin with an Apple Maple Veggie Sausage patty by Hilary's Foods. That's what they're called, though it's a stretch to think of them as sausage. All of these options have a good amount of protein, so it holds me until lunch without needing to snack (well rarely anyway).

    I usually have a packet of Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal and a glass of milk. Always fills me up and is really small

    What veggies do you use and what temp do you cook them on?

    Quaker Old Fashioned plain oatmeal with about 1 tbsp of PURE maple syrup, 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. It's about 190 calories all together. The Pure maple syrup is one of the highest calorie substances in the oatmeal but it's super sweet so you only need a little bit.

    Just top your toast with some nut butter, sliced banana, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

    Egg in a hole. In cast iron skillet (no oil needed if well seasoned) put a peice of the 40 cal fit aldi bread with a hole you cut out of middle size of egg. Crack egg into hole. Flip when white starts to set. Then serve mmmmmm about 112 (72 egg +40 bread) calories so you can have 2 or even add something like an orange.

    40g quick oats, 9 oz water, cinnamon, 1/4 cup sugar free maple syrup with either strawberries or banana.

    6 egg whites, half a green pepper and sriracha to top it off.

    One serving of kodiak cakes with some fruit on the side.

    half an avocado, 35 cal wheat bread, sunny side up egg (or egg whites) with some berries on the side.

    These are some of my favorite low cal breakfasts that I change up occasionally.

    My favorite is:
    1/2 cup dry oats
    1 banana
    1-2 Tbsp natural peanut butter

    Mash it all up with a fork and eat!

    A filling low-calorie breakfast for me is a frittata made with LOT of vegetables (mushrooms, onions, peppers, etc.) sauteed in a little olive oil, and two eggs. Saute the vegetables, then pour the beaten egg mixture over it and let it fill in the gaps. You can sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on it for flavor if you want. Serve with sliced tomatoes. Depending on the amount of vegetables it will be around 225-300 calories and should fill the whole plate.

    120 calories: 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt topped with 1 T chopped walnuts and 2 T frozen blueberries.
    It will keep you satisfied a lot longer than one slice of bread.

    FutureLife Smart-Fibre Bran cereal clocks in at about 160 calories for 40g of cereal plus 100ml milk. And it keeps you full for hours.

    Actually, there is evidence that an orange is about twice as satisfying as a piece of white bread of equal calories:

    S.H.A. Holt, J.C. Brand Miller, P. Petocz, and E. Farmakalidis, "A Satiety Index of Common Foods," European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, September 1995, pages 675-690.

    I have a funny reaction to yogurt in the morning. I don't really enjoy eating it (maybe because it's sour, has a goopy texture, and it's cold), but it really feels good in the stomach. Must be a pro-biotic thing.
