So this morning I took in a total of 700 calories for breakfast!! It's my first day actually tracking it so now to get to my question ;

I am heading off to the grocery store, what would you recommend I pick up that will be good to stay under 400 calories?

    A 3 egg omelette (wtf I've tried like 6 times to spell it but it's all wrong) with an ounce of ham or turkey and about half of a bell pepper chopped up.


    And toss in some cheese if you can go a bit over 400.

    I really like Fage greek yogurts, especially the 2% honey. Eggland's best also makes precooked and prepeeled hard cooked eggs that I like to grab in the morning

    2 eggs + 2% honey greek yogurt = 345 calories, 25g protein, 30g carbs, 14g fat.

    Yesterday I mixed two eggs, fresh cut spinach, a sprinkle of shredded cheese and my favorite spices beat together and baked in the oven at 375 and they were delicious!

    I usually have 2 hard boiled eggs, Fage yogurt w/ some fruit or apricot fruit spread during the week. Weekends - frozen Kashi waffle topped w/ warm mixture of blueberries, peaches and honey or whole wheat toast w/ peanut butter and 2 hard boiled eggs. During the winter it is usually OATMEAL w/ some fruit.

    I almost always make a little burrito every morning. I mix it up a little, but it's usually a little brown rice, some black beans, sometimes a little egg, and a slice of cheese in a whole wheat tortilla. I love the guererro whole wheat tortillas. Microwave for a minute and its ready to go! If I'm pressed for time I'll wrap it up in some tin foil and eat it later at my desk. you can add a little salsa, hot sauce, whatever you want on top.

    Egg white omelets with spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, and cheese. I eat these pretty regularly, and they are well below 400 calories. I also add pico de gallo, and sometimes picante sauce on top. Ooooh, I can't wait until morning to make one!

    Here's an example of one:

    My breakfast is either a package of plain oatmeal (Walmart brand is 100 calories) with blueberries or strawberries and occasionally a banana and a cup of coffee with 2 little tubs creamer OR I'll have a Greek yogurt and fruit. I've started adding 1-2 tbsp of flax to my yogurt for fiber

    Lately I've been having 2 plain rice cakes = 70 calories with 1 tbsp peanut butter = 90 cal. 100g yogurt (the kind we buy is only 35 calories), a couple walnuts, coffee with cream = 40 cal. large glass of water, and some sort of fruit (usually 1/2 cup berries, or banana, or 1/2 cup sliced peaches) - Total calories depending on fruit is about 250 calories.

    Although, the last couple days I've had 1/2 cup cottage cheese instead of yogurt - which is actually 100 calories, but even still that's under 400 for breakfast

    I normally have:

    1 cup 1% Low Fat Milk
    1 slice whole wheat bread
    1 Tbsp creamy peanut butter
    A piece of fruit. I normally have an orange or a banana.

    That normally equals 370 calories or so.

    ooooo you know what you can do... take a muffin baking pan thing.... take slices of bacon and place them around the edges of each little muffin pan indention (wow I don't know the correct terminology here, sorry) and then crack an egg in it, mix it around a little, maybe put some cheese in there if you want, bake it in the oven and then you have little egg muffins. Lol.

    Egg White Omelet

    9 tbls of Egg Whites (I buy the prepackaged Eggland's Best or All White brands)
    Mushrooms (if you like them..I buy canned Giorgio Mushroom Stems and Pieces)
    Roma Tomato (or whatever tomato you like)
    1/3 c Shredded Cheddar (or whatever cheese you like)

    This is well under 400 calories. But tweek the recipe to your tastes. Enter the recipe on here. It will figure out the calories for you if you measure it all out.

    My husband makes his omelets with mushroom, 97% fat free ham, and cheese. Still under 400 calories. We measure everything. It might seem like a pain at first to measure everything but after awhile it's a lot easier. Make sure you are drinking water too. Track it!

    This may already be here but I love just to have greek yogurt and some granola cereal mixed in!
    It totals to around 300 depending on the type of yogurt and cereal you get. Of course you could even use fruit loops or sugary cereal but I love to keep it healthy, and it makes you feel full but not heavy!
