Saute two slices of processed deli ham and add a fried egg on top. No carbs. 180 calories. Two fried eggs 270 calories.
BTW, my breakfast has been identical 6 days a week for the last 20 years: 424 calories of raw oats, store bought granola, nuts and fresh fruit.0 -
hardboiled egg and fruit5

I love kodiak cakes. With light whipped cream.
I love egg whites & turkey bacon or sausages.
Oatmeal.
Two slices of little big bread with light cream cheese.
Greek yogurt with nuts and berriers.
Some of my personal favourites obviously I make small changes to them depending on my hunger level or cravings1 -
My go-to lately is Fiber One Bran cereal with 2% milk and lots of fresh berries (usually blueberries and raspberries), plus more milk with my coffee. That’s under 200 calories (usually about 180) and then if I’m really hungry again before lunch I grab a hardboiled egg, which would round it out to 250. If I’m busy or not too hungry I save the egg for an afternoon snack or eat it with my lunch.

If you have a couple of minutes... I "cook" 50g each blueberries and raspberries lately, just straight in a non stick pan for a couple minutes until they get squishy and warm, and then I have them with a pot of yoghurt (Oikos triple zero just now) and a half serving each puffed wheat and puffed kamut. Makes a big "volume" bowl but is under 250 cals.1

That's an awesome idea. Do you use fresh? I'm wondering if this will work frozen. My area is in the late-stages of winter so fresh non-tropical is kinda expensive.0 -
I bet frozen would be totally fine! I might switch to frozen for the raspberries at least because they mold so fast when fresh.0

1/2 a multigrain lite English muffin, 1/4 avocado sliced or smashed, one egg fried with Pam spray, a dash of Everything but the Bagel Seasoning. It clocks in at just under 200 calories. I find this filling and tasty. If I know I am working out or running, I double up.1

Greek yogurt parfait - lemon Greek, frozen raspberries, Kashi GoLean and slivered almonds for crunch.
High fiber English muffin, 1 cooked egg (ramekin) 2% cheese slice and ham.0 -
I love my coffee protein powder smoothie. With minor tweaks it could easily be under or equal to 250 calories.
Teeccino is an herbal coffee substitute. I just add it for flavor.

Protein shake w/banana or peanut butter
Banana w/peanut butter or almond butter
Eggs and ham or eggs and fruit
It just depends how I feel, But I always need some protein in the morning or I get cravey around lunchtime. If you can have gluten, the Thomas light english muffins are only 100 calories, so you could do that with either nut butter or eggs.0 -

this sounds great! I love "Everything But the Bagel" Seasoning! I usually sprinkle it on plain hummus, but I am sooo going to try this!1 -
I steamed spinach in microwave and also cooked onion & garlic in microwave, eliminating the need for the oil.
Ingredients
A little oil to sautéed the veggies
Pam
2 cloves garlic minced
1 onion chopped
10 ounces spinach fresh (washed) or frozen (thawed and drained)
2 eggs beaten
3/4 cup eggbeaters
2 cups shredded cheese
2 tbsp grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon dried parsley
pinch nutmeg optional
1/8 teaspoon salt
pinch pepper
Instructions
1. Spray a 10 inch pie plate with Pam. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 350℉.
3. Over medium-high heat, heat olive oil in a large skillet.
4. Add garlic, stir-fry for 1 minute.
5. Add onions and cook for about 5 minutes or until softened.
6. Add spinach and cook, stirring occasionally until mixture has lost its' moisture.
7. Meanwhile, combine eggs, cheese, herbs and spices.
8. Remove spinach mixture from heat and set aside to cool slightly for a few minutes.
9. Combine cheese and spinach mixture.
10. Pour mixture in prepared pie plate.
11. Bake in oven for approximately 30-40 minutes or until mixture has set.
I divide it into 8 and it's about 160 per serving. You can having a bigger serving to get closer to 250.0 -
