Show me your breakfast! (Under 400 cal)

Breakfast is my lightest meal of the day because no matter what, Im an evening snacker while watching tv lol.... I usually eat a banana, or an apple slice crunch pack around 8 and around 10 I eat sensible portions veggie chips or a granola bar. I dont let myself eat more then 200 calories before lunch.

Vanilla Herbalife shake with 3/4 cup Silk Vanilla Almond milk, 1/2 a banana, and some ice in a blender.

It's different on weekends when I have time to "cook" breakkie, but during the work day, it's pretty standard. Today:

Egg-Land's Best - Hard-Cooked Peeled Eggs, 1 egg 60 0 1 5 55 0 Ico_delete

Not always Starbucks, usually I grab coffee (black) made at the office. I toast up the bread, spread some hummus on it, throw on some spinach if I have any, a slice of cheese and munch on that + egg while checking the morning email.

Some days I'll have 0% Fage mixed with fruit of choice and agave syrup and if I'm feeling it some kind of granola/flax/oat mix or pistachios or almonds for crunch.

About 300 cal!

Bump!

1/2 cup dry oats, 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (regular or greek), 1tbs peanut butter or pumpkin. Mix it up, fridge overnight, amazing in the morning (especially since it's already too hot to want to cook in Texas). It's 25-310, depending on the peanut butter.

Wow, I need to get adventerous. My typical morning is 1 cup of Cheerios or 3/4 cup of Honey Nut Cheerios with 1/2 cup of 1% milk. Sometimes I'll add a few strawberries on the side for fun (can't mix my foods - it weirds me out).

My go to breakfasts are:

Breakfast burrito with egg, turkey crumbles, cheese, salsa, green onion in a wrap or tortilla (223 calories)
Breakfast pizza - hash browns, eggs, cheese, bacon baked in pie pan (234 calories)
Steel cut oats with sliced almonds and brown sugar splenda (255 calories)
English muffin with peanut butter and sliced banana (300 calories)
Baked oatmeal with strawberry and banana (224 calories)
Poached egg over bacon on english muffin and hash browns (328 calories)
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cheerios mixed together with almond milk (under 200 calories)

I have these over and over again with something difference every once in a while. There's enough variety for me; I haven't gotten bored with these choice yet. I make the pizza and baked oatmeal and put in the freezer so I can grab and go. Same with the burritos; I always have 6-8 of those in the freezer. I fill in with fruit or juice, chia seeds, nuts, other stuff if I'm feeling hungry. But usually just have one of the above and then have something mid-morning for a snack.

I have a Sara Lee English Muffin (90 calories), 1/2 of a large scrambled egg, Oscar Mayer Microwave Bacon (2 pieces) for 35 calories, and a tbsp of shredded cheddar cheese. Yum and only 200 calories! I always throw in some grapes in case I do get hungry before lunch. I've also used turkey sausage instead of bacon and it changes the calories slightly more than 200 but it's still filling.

I must admit i'm amazed at how many people have eggs in the AM. The fat and cholesterol are daunting at best.

Yep - That's why I switched recently eating only the whites from hard boiled eggs 17 cals & 4g of protein

I like to get the Perfect Oatmeal from Starbucks and it's 390 calories. It comes with brown sugar, dried fruit, and nuts. I usually get a latte too, so definitely don't do that if you want to stay under 400. I'm not trying to lose weight yet though, I just got on here to find out what my typical calories were and I've been shocked!
