Breakfast ideas?

I'm on 1800cal per day, and I usually have about 400cal at breakfast time. Normally I have either oatmeal or cereal with some toast, but it's a bit boring after a while. Anyone got any relatively healthy breakfast ideas? x

Poached egg on a Thomas' light multi-grain English muffin.  Banana on the side.  Little piece of lean ham with the poached egg to make a faux eggs benedict optional.

This is the breakfast I love the best in alllllll the world.

Anyone have any filling low calorie breakfast recipes?

This thread might help you out. :D Most suggestions there can be tweaked to your caloric needs.

This is my ideal breakfast:

1/2 cup oatmeal with 1/2 banana mixed in.   200 calories

Egg white omlete 1 yolk 2 whites w/veggies add salsa.   100 calories

1 medium potato cubed/ seasoned and baked (hashbrowns).  100 calories

I am always so full after this and it sticks with me for a long time.

You could try fancy-ing up your oatmeal.

I love avocado mashed up on wholegrain toast, sprinkled with pepper. You could add a glass of milk and some fruit on the side, or some nuts to up the calories.

wholegrain cereal with almonds, soy milk and strawberries on top is yummy and keeps me full

I eat non 'breakfast foods' for lunch quite regularly: a sandwich on wholegrain bread, with lean meat and veggies in

To spice up oatmeal, I add raisins and cinamon (way better than the packaged kind). 

Egg sandwiches are great, use egg whites and it's super low cal. Cook egg whites (I use the microwave and a smal bowl and I get an egg mcmuffin shaped blob), put it on some toast with a big tomato slice, salt and pepper.  You could add low-fat cheese and lightly butter the toast and it would still be about 400 cals.

I had whole wheat and blueberry eggo waffles this morning (130 cals for 2) and I felt like a 10 year old, it was great.

A big smoothie:  A frozen banana and berries, protein powder, yoghurt.  You could easily make that 400 cals and it would be HUGE. 

Eggs and chicken/turkey bacon is pretty good too. 

all of my breakfasts are around 350 cals...

- 1/3 cup bare naked fruit + nut granola mixed w/ 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese and a small sliced banana

- oatmeal made w/ 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup skim milk, 1 chopped apple + 1/2 cup pumpkin (+ cinnamon, vanilla + sweetener)

- apple w/ 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1/2 cup raisin bran mixed w/ fage 0% yogurt

- 1 cup raisin bran w/ 1/2 cup skim milk + 1 small sliced banana

- 1/2 cup all-bran extra fiber mixed w/ fage 2% twin pot + 1/4 cup raisins

- 1 apple chopped + microwaved, topped w/ fage 0% yogurt + 1/3 cup bare naked fruit + nut granola (it's like apple crisp!)

I like sweet stuff for breakfast (obviously  ) and generally like to include fruit, dairy, grains and some sort of fat- find it holds me the longest!

1/2 cup southwestern eggbeaters - 80 cals

1 thomas lite english muffin = 100 calories

yopliat lite yougurt = 100 calories

1 cup grapes = 60 calories

total = 340 calories.

Some days I don't have the yogurt and go for a slice of lite cheese and a glass of skim milk to make a sandwich.  the eggbeaters have a great spicy flavor.

Have you ever tried Quinoa?  It is a whole grain with ALL the essential amino acids (so even better for u than oatmeal!) It cooks quickly and I like the texture.  I put in chopped apple, cinnamon and agave nectar. I also LOVE French Meadow Bakery Hemp Bagels (they have a little hemp flour in them, and I suppose the name might sell the bagels to a certain set?) They have TONS of fiber and protein, are covered in a variety of seeds and are great w/ PB, "butter" and jam or light cream cheese.  280 calories for the WHOLE bagel!!!  I get them in the freezer bread section of whole foods.  If you aren't near a whole foods, maybe you have a kind of hippy/natural foods store nearby?

Every once in a while, I like to mix 1/2 cup of Coco Puffs Combos w/ 3/4 cup whole-grain Total and pour in 1/2 cup of 8th Continent Complete Vanilla soymilk. I ususally have it with a banana sliced up on Country Hearth Light 100% Whole-wheat bread. The whole breakfast is about 390 calories. :)

Quinoa is delicious! I totally agree and you can make it savory or sweet. For a savory breakfast I cook it in low sod. chicken stock and top it with a an egg over medium (fried with pam instead of butter) and half a slice of cheese or a sprinkel of cheese.

For a sweeter breakfast cook the quinoa with vanilla soymilk, add cinnamon or nutmeg and mix in a little bit of dried cranberries! I get a lot of great ideas from the Washington Post's "Lean and Fit" newsletter. Usually includes some great links for recipes!

One more thing about quinoa, while it's considered a grain it's also a complete protein, so it helps to keep you satisfied longer. The stuff is amazing. I've found it in my regular grocery store in the health food isle and a couple varieties at local health stores.

Brie omlette sounds good right now
