Start your day off right!

A good breakfast will save you in the long run.....from overeating throughout the day and calorie crunching later! Still not convinced? Try some of our breakfast favorites below for a quick power punch of "get up and GO!" to your day!



BREAKFAST IDEAS FOR UNDER 300 CALORIES

Pancakes
Top two whole wheat blueberry pancakes with 1 tablespoon of light butter and 2 tablespoons of light syrup. Add in a glass of orange juice and you’re still under 300 calories with this awesome breakfast. (Aunt Jemima has a whole wheat pancake mix and you can also find them pre-made in the frozen food section of your local market)

Omelet
Mix one egg and two egg whites together, than add in 2 slices of crumbled turkey bacon and veggies of your choice (onions, peppers, mushrooms). Cook it up in a non-stick pan and even enjoy a slice of whole grain toast with a teaspoon of butter – a great breakfast to start your day, and all under 300 calories. (make things fast by using liguid egg whites or egg beaters in a box)

Oatmeal Plus
Mix a packet of instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of chopped almonds, 2 teaspoons of honey and your favorite sliced fruit. A yummy, crunchy, sweet breakfast for under 300 calories.

Wrap
Microwave two slices of Canadian bacon and ¼ cup of cheddar cheese in a soft tortilla and serve with salsa and a tablespoon of light sour cream. You can also mix in some chopped veggies. A hearty, spicy start to your day for less than 300 calories.

Yogurt
Mix half an apple (diced), a tablespoon of chopped walnuts and a tablespoon of honey into 8 ounces of low-fat French Vanilla yogurt.  This delicious, creamy and crunchy breakfast idea is a wonderfully sweet way to start your morning for under 300 calories.

Subway
Try a Western Egg Breakfast Sandwich, which comes in at 300 calories even and is a delicious low calorie start to your day. Subway actually has a lot of great breakfast choices for under 300 calories, so check out their menu if you are looking for a quick, low calorie jump start. All of their Egg Muffin Melts are about 200 calories, and they make White Egg Muffin Melts as well.  Skip their 6” Double Bacon Egg and Cheese Sandwich, which has over 500 calories.

Burger King
Order their Croissan’wich with Egg and Cheese, a tasty breakfast that will fill you up without filling you out –350 CALORIES! Stay away from their Pancakes and Sausage Platter, which weighs in at 670 calories.

McDonald’s
Their Egg McMuffin is another 300 calorie even breakfast choice, while their Hash Browns are only 150 calories each – have two! Avoid their Big Breakfast with Hotcakes – 1,090 calories – ouch!
