Easy & Healthy Breakfast Ideas for Losing Weight Fast

In order to lose weight fast, it's important to eat a healthy breakfast every morning. This will allow you to feel full and help you avoid snacking and diet pitfalls before lunch. A healthy breakfast does not have to be complicated; there are plenty of breakfasts that can be prepared even on a busy morning.

Oatmeal

• A bowl of oatmeal with fruit and protein powder makes a filling breakfast that should keep you satisfied until lunchtime. Adding the protein powder will turn a simple bowl of oatmeal into a complete breakfast containing both carbs and protein. This dish is very filling and may seem high-calorie but 1/2 cup dry oatmeal, 1 scoop of whey protein powder, and 1/2 cup frozen blueberries provide only 305 calories. Alternatively, one could add 1 tbsp of peanut butter and 1 sliced banana to the 1/2 cup of oatmeal, which would create a 350-calorie breakfast.

Eggs

• According to the American Heart Association, all the cholesterol in eggs is confined to the yolk. Egg whites are a healthy source of protein when the yolks are removed and can be prepared in sweet or savory breakfast dishes. Egg whites contain only 17 calories each, while whole eggs contain 75 calories. Adding egg whites into your daily diet will allow you to eat a larger volume of food while keeping calories low. This method will help you achieve your goal of losing weight fast.

  An egg white omelet can be made by sauteing chopped vegetables such as onions, mushrooms, fresh spinach and bell pepper in a small amount of olive oil. Once the vegetables are tender, pour beaten egg whites over them and cook until they are opaque and set. You can now add a little reduced-fat shredded cheese or salsa to this healthy breakfast dish.

  Many people enjoy having a sweet breakfast such as French toast with syrup or pancakes with fruit toppings. Unfortunately, these breakfasts are high in calories and sugar. The flavor of these dishes can be recreated by sweetening egg whites, which have very little flavor on their own. Add a little ground cinnamon and sugar or sweetener of your choice before cooking the egg whites in a pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. The cooked eggs will be sweet and fluffy and can be topped with low-calorie pancake syrup or frozen fruit that has been thawed in the microwave. Frozen fruit will create its own juice when thawed which adds to the presentation and flavor of this dish. For a more decadent morning treat, stir 1 tbsp. of natural peanut butter into the egg whites before cooking. This will create pockets of melted peanut butter in your faux French toast.
