Fast Food Breakfast 400 Calories & Under


For Breakfast I try to stay within a range of 200 to 400 calories. I am sure you have probably heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. That doesn’t mean that it has to be a huge meal, especially if you are not that hungry first thing in the morning. If you start the day with a 200 calorie breakfast, then you can certainly afford to have a mid-morning snack within your calorie budget. Be aware of your calories on beverages. They can really add up in juices, whole milk, and high-calorie coffee drinks.

Coffee is a beverage that seems to polarize people. Most people either love it or hate it. As a trainer I acquired a taste for it, because it was the only way I could get up on time for a 5:30 a.m. appointment with a smile on my face. If you are not a coffee drinker, then I would suggest subbing in one of the following beverages in place of coffee:

 

Unsweetened Green Tea 0 (Top Pick!)

Starbucks, Grilled Cheese, and Spark People

These are a few of my favorite things!  I have been a huge fan of the Lose It! program in terms of logging calories, but I have always been frustrated that the application doesn't let you plan ahead.  I have often used www.sparkpeople.com to look for recipes and calculate my own recipes, but I just recently discovered how much I love their nutrition planner.  You can either eat the plan they give you, make substitutions, or create your own plan.  You can log as you go or plan ahead.  Planning ahead is so crucial.  I have learned through experience and the Made to Crave study that planning is a must.  Instead of feeling deprived it makes me feel empowered.  I have been using Spark People all week long with some success.  I love it so far, because the food database is extensive. You can search the custom foods that other Spark members have already plugged in.  Plus you can access the extensive recipe database (including your own spark recipes) to plan your meals making calorie counting streamlined.  It also pulls together your grocery list for the week based upon your plan (even if you change it to your own recipes!).  You can pull it up on your mobile app, Ipad, or computer.  I prefer using the nutrition tracker on the computer and printing out each day so I can just eat the same thing in the future.  You can track your exercise as well.  The best part is that it's all free! Next let me tell you how the day is going so far.



This morning I had a delicious waffle with blueberry and raspberry compote, topped with a dollop of Cool Whip Free.  I also had my Starbucks Espresso & Cream Double Shot Light.

Mid morning a friend needed some moral support, and it called for comfort food.  I stopped and picked up a Starbucks Pumpkin & Cream muffin and two tall skinny vanilla lattes.  Even though we split the muffin it was still a calorie splurge (a deliciously, sinful one!).  It was my first taste of pumpkin for the fall season.  I'm waiting until closer to Thanksgiving to make Eat Yourself Skinny's mini pumpkin cheesecakes.  Perhaps I should have ordered a tall nonfat pumpkin spice latte instead for only 200 calories, but tears cry out for comfort food.



Since I splurged on a decadent snack I decided I had better show some restraint for lunch.  I tried to stick to half a cup of cream of tomato soup with 4 saltines and half a grilled cheese sandwich.  However, I went back for seconds on the soup.  It was delicious.  I was able to cut calories, rather than flavor, on the grilled cheese by spraying the bread with Parkay spray.  I sprayed the pan with PAM.  I know it seems odd to make half a grilled cheese sandwich, but I knew I could not withstand the temptation if I made a whole sandwich.  I literally cut the slice of bread and cheese in half before I grilled it.  I saved 110 calories so there is a method to the madness.

Low calorie eating does not mean starving so I carefully planned out a balanced meal for dinner.  I don't think a fish fillet and half of Amy's Mac & Cheese will fill me up enough.  I know I will be tempted to eat double the serving of mac & cheese so I plan to round out the meal with steamed green beans.  If you feel deprived trying to eat a lower calorie intake, then chances are you are not getting enough fruits, vegetables, and water in your diet.  I know it's tough.  Vegetables aren't necessarily at the top of my list either, but they are loaded with nutrients.  If you want to feel good and feel satiated, then vegetables are a must.  Now I'm off to get my workout in.  I need to make sure that muffin doesn't go straight to my muffin top!
