I am always hungry around an hour after breakfast.
I usually have Special K cereal and silk milk.

Any ideas for a low calorie, filling breakfasts?

    1/2 c oatmeal
    1/2 c frozen blueberries
    1/2 c applesauce
    1/2 c water
    dash of cinnamon
    1 tsp brown sugar

    Microwave for 2 minutes, stir and do it again! YUM! and very filling!

    Greek yogurts. Egg white omlets. Turkey bacon. More protein will certainly fill you up.

    this may sound weird but......I eat deli turkey in the mornings. 6 peices has only 45 cals but keeps me full and has a lot of protien in it. I also add 2% cheese sometimes as well.

    Protein will fill you up more than carbs and sugar, so maybe try 3 egg whites or 1/2 cup of cottage cheese (you can choose 1% or 2%).

    I have a sashay of Quaker Oats porridge is 95 cal made with water no sugar, three slices of weight watcher granulated bread a scrape of flora plus weight watchers strawberry jam that comes in at 490 cal total. I have that at 9 AM in the morning and that keeps me going to my lunch at 2 PM. T
    You haven't said how long you've been on your diet because the hunger cravings do subside with time.

    i would switch to a more fiber packed cereal if thats your usual routine and also slice in some rasberries (fiber) and other berries if you can. otherwise i usually eat the following and it fills me

    1/2 cup cooked oatmeal
    1 tbsp peanut butter
    1 tbsp agave nectar

    fiber packed cereal- kashi go lean crunch, bran flakes with raisins (the commercial ones usually have more sugar)

    peanut butter and agave nectar sandwich w/milk of choice

    egg, spinach and feta omlette

    egg sandwich with a slice of cheese

    beans and eggs

    whole wheat tortilla, scrambled eggs, cheese and beans

    I love cereal too but it doesn't keep me full very long.

    I have breakfast sandwiches most days-Thomas english muffin whole grain, egg white, turkey sausage. So many variations you can do but easily under 250 cals. Can use center cut bacon, add cheese, ham, veggies.

    However, This morning I had 1c of honey nut chex, and 1/2c of soymilk.

    Usually I have 3 egg whites on a piece of GF toast a few strawberries, and 1/2 grapefruit! Usually keeps me full for quite a while! (I eat Breakfast at 0500)

    You might try a double fiber english muffin toasted, then add 1 TBSP peanut butter (I use the chunky) and a piece of fruit. I usually have this around 9AM and it keeps me full until around 12:30 or 1PM.

    i used to be like that. now i try not to eat a carby breakfast.. that sets me up for a high calorie day and doesn't keep me very satisfied. i usually opt for eggs, greek yogurt or a protein shake. sometimes i'll add fruit to the yogurt or shake. kinda boring i know lol

    if I'm in a rush i'll do oatmeal or kashi go lean cereal w/ skim milk. those are the only carby breakfasts that keep me full until lunch time

    I chop/cut up 3 pcs of lower sodium turkey or chicken bacon with a little olive oil, cut up mushrooms and cut up spinach. Then once it's all tender I add in liquid egg whites, sometimes a little shredded cheese and eat with homemade salsa. Yummmm. Very filling and it only takes about 5 minutes to cook before I dash out the door. You can add all sorts of things to this or even have everything ready and cut up each day.

    Chocolate protein, pb, banana

    I work out for 90 minutes and am full for like 8 hours, I have to force myself to eat lunch or I forget. That being said, it can be high calorie (mine is about 670m, but you can adjust for less).

    Pretty much every morning without fail I have a spinach and feta omlette. 2 eggs. With yolks (shock! HORROR!) it's 267 cals and it's great.

    Cereal is not filling enough for me. I need some fiber & protien.

    My favorite go to breakfast is 1 pkg plain oatmeal, 1 Tbsp peanut butter and sliced up banana mixed in. Keeps me full till lunchtime.

    Egg white omlete is good also.

    Special K (original) is pretty high protein .... but lacking in fiber. Have a serving of fruit on the side with this. Also 1% milk has some fat (fat keeps you full awhile too).

    I like Kashi cereals many have both protein and fiber (as does oatmeal). Greek yogurt is super high in protein, I have dry cereal along side sometimes.

    Blueberry Waffle cups
    Nonstick cooking spray
    4 frozen whole wheat waffles, lightly toasted and cut into bite-size pieces
    3/4 cup fresh blueberries
    3 slices turkey bacon, cooked according to package directions and chopped
    1 cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed, or 4 eggs
    1 cup fat-free milk
    3 tablespoons light pancake syrup
    1 tablespoon butter or 60% to 70% tub-style vegetable oil spread, melted
    1 teaspoon vanilla

    1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly coat four 8-ounce ramekins with cooking spray; set aside.

    2. In a medium bowl, combine waffle pieces, blueberries, and bacon; spoon evenly into ramekins. In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, milk, syrup, melted butter, and vanilla. Slowly pour egg mixture over waffle mixture; press down lightly with the back of a spoon. Place ramekins on a baking sheet.
