Quick Breakfast Ideas

I have either home made blueberry porridge, or banana and Skyr yoghurt or poached egg on toast, or crunchy peanut butter on toast.

It's wholemeal toast with butter and marmite. Sometimes porridge or poached or boiled egg with toast.☺

1oz porrige oats, cooked with skimmed milk, and a mashed banana 😊 I also add dried fruit but you don't need it

Hi Cooper,

I did this post some time ago now, but it still represents very much my own breakfast choices, and lots of others contributed some great ideas too, so you might want to have a look through this post:

Lowcal

If you're short on time in the mornings, opt for a couple of scoops of whey protein powder, mixed with semi skimmed milk, since it'll keep you satiated until mid morning, when you're able to eat nuts and/or yoghurt as mid-morning snack.

how about some protein ? Ready cooked chicken ? Or hard boiled eggs ? As lazy as it sounds, the pre boiled eggs that supermarkets sell now are lovely. Or cook some steak and have it next morning with a few grapes ?

just wanted to add - maybe in the uk we concentrate too much on traditional breakfast foods. Many countries eat other sorts of breakfast - ham, fish etc. Kedgeree ? Think outside the box!

I have been having quark with a bit of sweetener and I add in some porridge oats that have been soaked in a little skimmed milk overnight and then layer it with strawberries. It's very high in protein so keeps me full until lunchtime. You can add other fruit for variety.

Hi Cooper27. Sometimes I have 40g high fibre All Bran, 100g frozen fruit mixed in,pour boiling water over, a sprinkle of sweetener, a large tbsp of fat free Greek yoghurt on top. About 220 cals and very filling.

I like 35g portage oats, a light yogurt and fruit, (usually raspberries. I'm a raspberry fiend). Mix it all together and stick it in the fridge over night. Breakfast is ready in the morning and it's surprisingly filling.

I like a slice of rye bread toast with peanut butter. It is very filling

I have a fresh fruit salad and natural fat free yogurt, toast and marmite or smooth peanut butter., pancakes and frozen mixed berries and a spoonful of Greek total yoghurt. Either one of those keeps me going until lunch.

I do a vegan version of fridge porridge, using soy yogurt, 30g porridge oats, 5g barley, cinnamon, 10g dried fruit and make a batch of four (using one of the large yogurt pots) and put in the fridge in the evening, ready for my breakfast over the next 4 mornings. Cals approx 270.

Before I became vegan, I used to use Total Greek 0% yogurt and it was delicious.

Hi I'm having 1 slice 50:50 toast with 15g peanut butter, a nectarine and black coffee all for 225 calories.

Trying to cut back a bit today as I'm out for lunch tomorrow x

for years I've eaten raw oats the most chunky kind from Sainsburys. I add s s milk to a handful of oats then a couple of teaspoons ( as heaped as I can make them ) of home stewed fruit. I use my own apples, or buy stuff when it's on offer. I pick blackberries and sweeten with a bit of sugar. I freeze a lot of stewed fruit so breakfast is always quick and easy. When it's very cold I cook the oats and milk in the microwave. Don't know if it's relevant but have never had a cholesterol problem in spite of horrific weight, so maybe the oats are keeping it at bay. It is filling and I like it.

2Egg Omelette with grated parmesan

Half a ham and cheese toasty and an apple. ☺

Chia seeds mixed with plain yogurt and chopped apple and cinamon.

I'd suggest making your own crackers

Eggs in different ways for breakfast were a great help towards my weight loss. I avoided bread most days but did have the odd slice of hovis .

Two eggs 140 cals. plain boiled, poached or do scrambled eggs or an omelette with ham or grilled bacon, tomato or smoked salmon, avocado . Eggs have protein and satisfy much longer than wheat products bread/crackers/cereal.

Or if you're really short of time make a protein smoothie, protein whey powder, water, banana, greek yoghurt whizzed into a shake. About 240 cals.

I am just wondering why you are looking for such a low calorie breakfast. I must admit that if I don't have enough to eat at breakfast, I run out of energy very quickly.

Plain porridge, no milk or sugar and a handful of grapes

Mainly 1 slice toast and nut butter 221 cals, a banana or 2 kiwi fruits, just over 300 cals.

I do sometimes scramble 2 eggs on a slice of toast too, if I have time
