1 slice of dark pumpernickel bread, toasted (80 calories)
1 large egg, scrambled (90 calories)
1 splash of slim milk - with egg (~20 calories)
1/8 cup - or less - Feta Cheese Crumbles Basil, Kalamata Olive and Sun Dried Tomato (Saladena) (~40 calories)
Total Calories: ~230
I TRY to eat between 250-350 calories for breakfast, figuring 300-400 for three meals = 900-1200 calories in meals and then somewhere between 200-300 in snacks a day, so on the VERY low end 1100 calories and otherwise 1500.
Granted, this is a goal, as I know that I always tend to go over, so while it might seem on the low side, it never really works out that way. For example, this morning, though the above is what I think I want to start doing consistently, today in addition I had: another slice of bread (the heel of the loaf, so more like a 1/2 a slice), and 1/2 a crescent roll w/ two mini marshmellows and a mini resees cup. So, this MORNING I really ate 450. Already over my goal.
Someone I feel more okay being heavy on calories in the morning. Mentally I convince myself that it gives me energy for the day and i can burn it better than if I eat calories at night.
Are your eggs really 90 calories? My egg carton says my large eggs are 70 calories.
ReplyDelete20 calories is a big deal in my book. ;-)
i haven't checked the carton, but they're pretty big honken eggs (my roommate and I get them, specifically cuz she likes to cook a lot). It says 90 calories in my MyFitnessPal app, but I suppose I should check for sure when I get home!
