My current go-to favorite is: 2 eggs ("fried" on a teflon pan with a smidge of cooking spray) ... then I put them on a plate, put a little bit of grated parmesan cheese on them and top them with slices of roma tomatoes! It hits right about 200 calories, so if you need/want more cals in the am you can add some whole wheat toast and I always add a cup of coffee to that!
^^Love this idea, thanks!0 -

I generally dislike breakfast food. Not a fan of oatmeal or yogurt. I prefer to make myself half a toasted sandwich with mashed avocado (salt & lime juice), tomato, spinach. Maybe a little deli lunch meat.. Or if you have some grilled chicken. Sometimes I'll switch it up and use basil pesto instead of an mashed avocado. Then my coffee. You can get a 400cal breakfast easy with a sandwich. Think outside of the box and try lunch for breakfast.0

Someone posted this before and I saved it. Made a batch this weekend so I can have them in the fridge and just run and eat!
They are SO good and filling. I can only eat about 2-3 before feeling stuffed!
Ingredients
* 6 ounces very thinly sliced deli turkey
* 3/4 cup salsa (click here for recipe) or grilled vegetables
* 18 large egg whites or 2 1/4 cups liquid egg white or egg substitute (see note below)
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
* 2 tablespoons grated low-fat Cheddar cheese
Directions
1. If Using fresh eggs: Separate 18 whites into a medium mixing bowl Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and whisk lightly. Transfer to a liquid measuring cup. Let stand while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
2. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Lightly coat each cup of a standard-sized nonstick muffin pan with olive oil cooking spray.
3. Line each muffin cup with 1/2 ounce of the turkey. There will probably be a little excess extending from the top of each cup. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the salsa or grilled vegetables into each cup.
4. Measure 3 tablespoons of the egg whites or egg substitute into each muffin cup. (After the first "muffin," you can pour the whites from the liquid measuring cup to the same level as the fist muffin cup, rather than measuring 3 tablespoons each time.)
5. Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the eggs are puffed and the center is set. Carefully remove the baked eggs from the pan and place 2 egg cups on each serving plate. Garnish with the cilantro and cheese.

Personally, I love Thomas Bagel Thins. They are half the thickness (and calories - 110 calories) of a normal bagel. I like to top my bagel with one of the Laughing Cow cheese wedges (Queso Fresco is my favorite - 35 calories). At only 145 calories, you can pair this with just about anything. A scrambled egg, a banana, a small bowl of cereal, some turkey sausage. Haven't tried the bagel thins as a breakfast sandwich, but I may try this soon.0

I really want to make these: Makes six muffin cups, 75 Calories each (for a picture: http://under400.tumblr.com/post/3334930421/egg-and-spinach-quiche-cups-10-ounces-frozen)

Oatmeal (old fashioned) made with almond milk, topped with banana, craisins, and almonds. Truly delicious! I took the picture a while ago but I make it all the time. Depending on how much of everything you use, it should come out to less than 400 calories. Probably close to 350.
Some of my other favorite variations are to top oatmeal with a chopped apple and cinnamon, or to stir in some unsweetened cocoa powder and Equal sweetener. (Cocoa powder is surprisingly low-cal, and with the artificial sweetener you get an amazing nutritious chocolate fix!) Oatmeal is the ultimate breakfast food because you can make it a million different ways!0 -

Breakfast for me is actually often my leftovers from the day before. I try to cook healthy food in mass quantities, so there are usually a few good things hanging around. I try to supplement whatever I'm eating with fruit and make sure there's some protein in there as well. A piece of whole grain bread and natural peanut butter with a homemade smoothie or a clementine is a pretty simple, low-cal meal for the morning.0
