Healthy, low cal breakfasts ideas for you

Ladies, this is for you. If you are trying to lose fat, skipping breakfast could very well be worse than downing a dozen large pizzas. Why? Because what you consume within the first couple of hours of awakening, dictates the tone of your metabolism for the rest of the day. The potential metabolic downward shift could be as much as 50% of your optimal metabolic rate. It is recommended you eat a well balanced breakfast within an hour of awakening.


BREAKFAST IDEA 1

Ladies (up to 200 lbs)
- 4 large egg whites + 1 whole egg (cooked any way you want... no traditionally frying, though)
- 1/3 cup of dry old fashioned oatmeal (sweeten with stevia)
- 1 mini box of raisins (11 g carbs )
- Orange flavored zero calorie drink

Gents (175-250 lb)
- 6 egg whites + 1 whole egg
- 2/3 cup dry old fashioned oatmeal (sweeten with stevia)
- 20 grapes
- Orange flavored zero calorie drink
- 1 cup cooked old fashioned oatmeal


BREAKFAST IDEA 2

4 oz Extra lean turkey patty (Jenny O, 97% fat free) (Guys make it 6 oz)
1 Orowheat multi grain sandwich thin bun
1/4 sliced avacado
2 slices of tomatoes or 2 tbs salsa



BREAKFAST IDEA 3

Baked Fitness Eggwhite Bake

1 small whole wheat pie crust
3 oz of cooked (sliced or diced)
4 egg whites (set aside)
3 oz turkey sausage
1 cup chopped spinach
1/4 sliced avacado

- Combine all but avacado in a small baking dish (I like to use small pie pans so I can store in fridge for later)
- pread out the avacado on the top
- Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes

  2. Hi there. I honestly don't have anything that is particular to one race. The main theme of any weight loss program is to expel more calories than you consume. If this isn't working for you, then you need to hire a professional who can take a look at your current factors, and work something out specifically to your uniqueness. Good luck
