Egg Cup
Cut the top inch off a green bell pepper; remove ribs and seeds. Stuff with a small handful of baby spinach or arugula, 1 ounce reduced-sodium deli roast turkey or ham, and 2 tablespoons shredded reduced-fat cheese. Top with an egg and a pinch of black pepper. Pierce the yolk and replace the pepper top. Microwave for 4 to 5 minutes. Let sit, covered, for 3 minutes.

I love to eat a Boca buger on a flat bun with tomato, lettuce and mustard... less than 200 cal and tons of protein. Keeps me going for 4 to 5 hours. (you can also put on egg on top)

QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: Scrambled egg whites with some reduced fat cheese. I also like Better Oats raw/natural oatmeal with some fruit thrown in. The envelope is also the measuring cup so it can even be eaten at my desk. Why would anyone have eggs without the yolks? The egg nutrition discussion is riddled with disinformation. Egg yolks are the richest source of two superstar carotenoids—lutein and zeaxanthin. Not only are they bright yellow and cheerful looking, but yolks are loaded with fat-soluble antioxidant nutrients. Besides providing all eight essential proteinbuilding amino acids, a large, whole, fresh egg offers about six to seven grams of protein and five grams of fat (with about 1.5 grams of it saturated), which comes in handy to help in the absorption of all the egg’s fat-soluble vitamins. One egg contains the valuable vitamins A, K, E, D, B-complex and minerals iron, phosphorus, potassium and calcium. Choline, another egg-nutrient, is a fatty substance found in every living cell and is a major component of our brain. Additionally, choline helps break up cholesterol deposits by preventing fat and cholesterol from sticking to the arteries. 
Thank you. Why doctors recommend eating no more than two to three eggs per week if you're trying to lower LDL “bad” cholesterol? The yolk contains the vast majority of the cholesterol in a whole egg. The white contains the vast majority of the protein. If you feel the need for fats at breakfast, sub the yolk for a 1/4 of an avocado (cholesterol is an animal-derrived fat, plants don't contain any cholesterol). Studies also suggest a couple of other diet modifications for lowering LDL: consuming LOW FAT dairy products (dairy calcium improves fat excretion), and moving toward a plant-based diet. |

i usually have granola with low fat yogurt and fruit (usually dried apricots or banana). I even have it on the go when I';m in a rush. I put it in a Tupperware box with a plastic spoon and then eat it on the train to work.
At weekends I have poached egg on toast , or omelet with mushrooms, both of which are really filling. I also keep a few yogurts at work with some trail mix and dried fruit in case I'm tempted to skip breakfast at home. It stops me going to the cafe for a bacon butty and is really tasty. I also love hard boiled eggs which you can do the night before then put in a tortilla wrap with some ham and some salsa - really yummy and easy to eat on the go, or wrap up for later.

QUOTE: Here's a quick breakfast that's really good!!! Crack a couple eggs into a coffee mug. Mix well. Take a wedge of Laughing Cow light cheese and cut it up into small pieces and mix it in with the eggs. Put in microwave for maybe 60 seconds. Take out and stir. If the eggs are still liquidy, put back in the microwave but not too long because you don't want them to overcook. While they're cooking, rip up a few pieces of baby spinach. Add them to the cooked eggs the minute they come out of the microwave. Let spinach wilt. Put the scrambled egg mixture on a whole wheat english muffin and you're good to go!!! That sounds amazing! I'd try it right now if I had eggs lol

I also like low sodium rice cakes with peanut butter. Keeps you full for a long time! |

Oatmeal is my morning staple. I defrost some frozen berries, and then do the oatmeal in the microwave for a minute and a half. When its done, stir in a 1/2 teaspoon of peanut butter and a little splenda. Fold in berries and a splash of milk to cut the stickiness. Yum!

I cook up an egg beater omelet with spinach and top it off with some salsa - takes about 5 mins to make, I have it down to a science. Also, I usually add a couple of boca sausages, which taste surprisingly good for a non-meat product. All in all my breakfast is about 200 calories but its very satisfying!

This is going to take up some pace, but it is not complicated. And I do not recommend skipping breakfast. I always whip two eggs with some milk and fry it in a pancake shape. Then you place a piece of cheese on it, fold the 'egg cake' over and you have a cheese omelet! I eat mine with two table spoons on salsa on top and a side of chopped tomatoes, but you can eat it how you want. Chopping up spinach and mixing it with the egg is very filling

I normally have eggs or egg whites scrambled with vegetables and another protein source and cheese but this morning I had cinnamon weight control oatmeal mixed with non-fat vanilla Greek yogurt, diced strawberries and a tablespoon of dark chocolate chips. It was delicious and soooo filling.
If I have to be somewhere early, I make a smoothie up the night before or grab a protein bar on my way out.

Most mornings I eat 2 Kashi waffles with lowfat peanutbutter and a banana. It's so good!! I try to keep my breakfast under 500 cals.but it has to hold me until lunch (6 hours). I usually don't have time for a snack between 6am and 12pm!

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but it's a staple for many MFPers.
REFRIGERATOR OATMEAL I've oversimplified the typical recipe, which usually calls for greek yogurt and either water or milk. Equal Parts: Old Fashioned Oats AND Plain Yogurt (You can use low-fat, full-fat, no-fat, whatever fits into your macronutrient needs for the day). Fixins. My favorite blend is 1 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened), 1 tbsp crunchy peanut butter (the good kind - ingredients: peanuts), 1 tbsp blackstrap molasses, 1 tsp cinnamon. Toss all ingredients into a mason jar. Stir until thoroughly mixed. Put a lid on it. Place in fridge overnight. In the morning, take it out, remove lid, and enjoy. It will keep without refrigeration for several hours (I throw it in my bicycle pannier bag and ride 15 miles to work). You can also heat it up if you prefer. I like it slightly chilled.

Personally, I have no time for breakfast in the morning, so i found a really great recipe that can be made ahead!
I mix egg whites, spinach, mushroom, diced tomato, and sliced deli turkey in a bowl and pour into muffin tins. Take 2 slices of fat free american cheese and place pieces over each mixture. Bake for about 20 minutes. I take the batch with me to work and heat one up each morning! They are awesome and super filling - and I love that it's portion controlled. They also make good afternoon snacks!

There are a lot of conflicting studies about that, but I believe the current assumption is that dietary cholesterol has little to do with dietary cholesterol intake. Mayo's take: Limit eggs... http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cholesterol/HQ00608/ NIH study: Eggs as part of weight loss actually improved HDL (good) cholesterol... http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18203890 WebMD's take: http://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/news/20040708/eating-eggs-daily-not-risky-heart It's worth studying up, because the science of dietary cholesterol is still unfolding.
