  • I eat about 350-400 calories.

    Two favorites - oatmeal, 2 slices turkey bacon, 1 hard boiled egg, soy milk.

    # 2 - Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup fruit mixed in, soy milk, Wasa crispbread with peanut butter on top.

    I generally alternate them day by day.

    Both get me through the morning, and they have to do a lot, as I exercise in the AM. I usually eat lunch around 11 AM, so I do not have a morning snack.

    If for some reason I do not exercise, I add a snack in mid-morning, usually a protein, but depends on how I am feeling - for about 100 calories.

    I count carbs for my diabetes situation, so that influences my choices.

    Someone mentioned almond milk. I love it. Low cal., low carb, tastes just great.
  • My most common breakfasts are:
    - instant oatmeal w/skim milk: 245 cals
    - oat bran w/raisins, brown sugar, and skim milk: 265
    - raisin bran w/skim milk: 265
    - oat bran cold cereal w/skim milk: 265

    So I guess I usually eat 265! I eat a banana at around 10:30 in the morning to tide me over until lunch though, and sometimes I add other fruits to my cereal.
  • Ok, I tried the Almond milk & I love it! It slightly changes the taste of my cereal in very good way!

    I encourage anyone who hasn't tried it to give it a whirl...it's yummy!
  • Today's breakfast came in at just under 400, and I suspect my two "alternates" are about the same. On Mondays I have no time for a snack because I'm in a management meeting from 10 to 12 (in theory, often 12:30) so if I get anything, it's a ff latte. I need those other calories to get me through.
  • I pretty much eat the same thing for breakfast/pre breakfast each day I eat part of this before my morning walking/aerobic video and then the rest after my video.

    2 egg whites
    Buckwheat pancake ( 1/4 cup mix ) or two slices toast ( Schwebel's light wheat ) with spray butter
    4 oz orange juice
    1/8 cup mild fancy shredded cheddar
    1/2 pealed medium apple
    1 oz Jimmy Deans 50% reduced fat sausage

  • I don't really eat a breakfast per se... I eat a lot of mini meals in the morning since I'm super hungry when I wake up and I hope that the first meal will fill me. By about 10 AM I have about 800 calories of breakfast items under my belt. I eat things like oatmeal and peanut butter, cottage cheese, alternative bagels, cereal & milk, eggs, smoothies... But then the rest of the day usually slows down a lot since I don't get that hungry.
  • I eat 5 times a day. Breakfast is my biggest feeding so it is 375 - 425 calories.
  • You referred to breakfast as a "feeding". That's funny!

  • Mine is about 430 calories right now. I have a bowl of thick (could turn the bowl upside-down) cream of wheat made with milk. I love the stuff.

    I don't eat snacks, so I get my calories from 3 meals a day. Breakfast has to hold me from 6:30am to 12:30pm.
  • 150kcals max, 1/4 cut porriage oats, low fat milk, cinnamon, low kcal sweetener and raisins. o and sometimes protein powder mixed in.
  • right around 400

    1/2 cup oats with tsp honey
    egg beater omelet with 2% cheese and as many veggies as I feel like chopping that morning and as much salsa as I want
    a couple oz of light soy milk in my coffee.
  • Mine are usually in the 200-400 range; I switch off between carb-based (cereals, oatmeals) and protein-based (eggy, dairy, occasional P.B.) breakfasts depending on what my morning exercise is.
  • 200 calories on weekdays (1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup Trader Joe's High Fiber Cereal, and 2 oz of berries).

    300 calories on weekends (3 slices bacon, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 low-fat muffin with non-fat cream cheese).

    I'm a creature of habit, especially when it comes to breakfast.
