Need Low Calorie Breakfast Ideas - not sweet though!!!?
I hate sweets. That leaves out a lot of breakfast foods. I need low calorie breakfast ideas that fall more into the salty range.
Get as wild as you like with your ideas/recipes - I've been known to eat black bean and goat cheese quesadillas for breakfast! LOL

You HATE sweets? Wow, lucky you! I think a good breakfast for you would be an omelet with equal amounts whole eggs and egg whites. The whites give it more volume and protein but there's still some fat to keep you full and taste good. I like to make my omelets like this:
2 eggs
2 egg whites
3 tablespoons of water (beaten into the eggs)
about half a cup of black beans
Some red and green bell peppers, diced
Then I "fry" it in no-calorie cooking spray like Pam and add salt and pepper to taste. If I have salsa I put some on the side and dip it in that. Its very healthy and low fat but high in fiber and protein and I use it in just about any meal. I believe its a little under 300 calories, which is the perfect breakfast size and should keep you full. There are other good breakfast recipes at calorieking.com, I havn't tried them but I've tried other recipes from calorieking for years and so far they've all been good. Here are the "cheese, eggs, and protein subsitutes" breakfasts.

Another good thing in the morning is half a whole wheat bagel or peice of whole wheat toast +hummus and vegetables. Filling, hardy, hardly and calories. Eggs on toast too! Enjoy your breakfast.
