Generally, I have a 2 oz. Egg Beaters omelet (28 cals) on either a Mission Carb Balance tortilla (80 cals) or a Thomas English Multi-grain wheat Muffin (100 cals). I add a half slice of Hormel Canadian Bacon (35 cals) or 2-3 slices of Turkey Pepperoni (5 cals/slice) and a 1/3-1/2 oz of 2% Kraft Sharp Cheddar Cheese (90 cals per ounce). Total = 162 to 180 calories. Nothing between breakfast and lunch.

I have only started eating breakfast over the last month since getting my Fitbit. I enjoyed reading all the diferent suggestions. Mostly I've been doing 1 cup of greek yogurt with 1 cup of mixed berries. Somedays I do a bagel with hummus. A few times I did 1/2 a cup of cottage cheese and a banana. I also tried oatmeal.....didn't care for it as a child and learned I still don't care for it.

Cheetsnyc, I really don't think that is alot of sugar unless you are on a low carb plan or Paleo or something similar. IMHO
If you are counting calories you have what you want and count the calories. But be mindful that it is important to have foods that are nutrient dense (healthier) and also those that may be less so but you want to fit them in order not to feel deprived. You also want a sense of well being on your diet and a feeling you could eat like this forever.
Some people might suggest changing out the white bread for a multi-grain which seems reasonable. (though I admit I eat Pepperidge Farm Very Thin White myself because I love it. )
Fitbit will figure out a proper calorie deficit for you based on what you entered to lose per week and how much you exercise. (ie pound a week or 2 etc )
Fitbit's food diary log is excellent--I like it better than MyFitnessPal and I don't have to sinc the 2 sites.

I usually have two scrambeled eggs with salsa and at least 1/2 of a avocado( made into guac) on top along with either a piece of bacon or sausage or I have scrambleled eggs with cheese etc. I have been keto adapted for years due to some health issues that limits my diet so I eat far more fat a day than most people.

Wheatberries with Cranberries, Apple & Raspberry Vinegar - [W.berries: 140g cooked weight; Dried Cranberries: 1tbsp chopped, pre-soaked in 1tbsp home-made raspberry vinegar; Pink Lady Apple: 1/2-1 piece depending on how hungry]. Despite the name, NO wheat and keeps me going for a good 3-4 hours and no dreaded tummy bloat

msfarkee,
thanks for the input, i am actually not on any special diet im just trying to eat healthy and maintain fit. although i have been running and working out for years, i am fairly new to dieting, calorie, carbs, and suger counting. i also like the fitbit software and everything that it offers from sleep, food, and heart rate monitoring. it is helping learn alot about myself and my meal intake. thats funny about the pepprige farm we all have a little weakness. i use run keeper and i dont know why the two sites wont merge together but fitbit is better. as the days go on im learning alot and changing things up bettering myself. thanks again for the input.

Usually some variation of this. This morning I combined 3 containers of Yoplait 35 calorie yogurt, then topped with 1/4 cup Cheerios, 50g strawberries, 25g blueberries and 5g pecans for a grand total of 195 calories. It was delicious, and turned out so pretty I had to take a picture 😛

I use the Fit bit food calculator. It has helped me with actually seeing my totals for meals and has helped me improve my meal intakes. And with portions! I have lost a total of 21 pounds between Weight Watchers and now Fit bit.

This is very close to my breakfast. But I try to spread it out more. I mix my oatmeal with chia, hemp nuts,ground flax, walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, sometimes raisins or a banana ( trying to wean off these 2). Two boiled eggs and a sliced tomato.
I want to add the bacon and english muffin and see if I can make it last til 2-3 in the afternoon. That would be awesome.

I have 2 go-to breakfasts:
Most often, I enjoy a parfait with whatever fruit is in season (or that I froze while it was in season), Stonyfield plain yogurt and my own homemade nutty granola.
Occasionally, I need something warm and will cook up some plain oameal and top with either raisins or dried cranberries.
I also sometimes eat eggs, but they are really more of an afternoon snack to me.

I also have a veggie-fruit smoothies for breakfast 3 times a week. Handful of spinach, Kale, flex seed, carrott, half an apple, little ginger, celery, stevia, ice cubes protein powder.
I heard on Dr. Oz. that to much spinach has health concerns.
Have a great day....

Everyday I have a simple combination of 1 cup fatfree plain greek yogurt, 1/2 c. Fiber One Cereal, 1 small banana, 1 Tbsp dried blueberries, and 1 Tbsp dried cranberries. Occassionally, I'll also add 1 Tblsp sunflower seeds. Very satisfying and keeps me going until lunch.
