Breakfasts Hints for Low Calorie Diets

The start of the day is the best place to start watching what you eat and getting into the mind set for the rest of the day.

1. 200 calories for breakfast can include a lot. Aim at 1500 calories for the day and it leaves you with a whopping 1300 calories. Include a lunch at 300 calories, fairly easy to do (more later), and you're left with a 1000 calories for the rest of the day! If you have dinner at 500 calories, you're left with an optional 500 calories for snack or for adding to a meal.
2. Add cucumbers, tomatoes to your breakfast without breaking the calorie bank. 1 medium tomato is 15 calories. Cucumber 1 medium 45 calories so figure a few slices for about 15 calories.
3. Like fruit for breakfast. Most fruit are under 100 calories. Oranges 62 calories, apples (Gala) 74 calories. You can take the calories out of your optional 500.
4. If you like fruit, have the fruit instead of the fruit juice. Adds bulk.

One of my favourite breakfasts is a pita pizza
