6. Stuffed Strawberry and Cheese French Toast (149 Calories)
They key to keeping the calorie count low on french toast is the bread. I used Alvarado Street Bakery Bread that I picked up from Trader Joe’s. It’s wheat bread with flax seed and only comes in at 50 calories a slice. So if you use a different bread just be sure to knock off a 100 calories of my bread and add yours in. I really like the bread because it’s soft in the middle and the crust is kind of crunchy.

7. Hard Boiled Egg and Avocado Bowl (295 Calories)
This egg and avocado bowl combines hard boiled eggs with creamy avocado slices for a super healthy and quick meal that’s loaded with protein, healthy fat and fiber while also low in carbs.

8. Strawberry Oatmeal Bars (100 Calories)
While many strawberry oatmeal bar recipes require making the filling in a separate bowl, these fresh strawberry bars do not. Once you’ve pressed the first crust layer into the pan, simply scatter the filling ingredients—diced strawberries, lemon juice, and a touch of sugar and cornstarch—right over it, then sprinkle the remaining oatmeal crumble on top.

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day and now you can fully enjoy it, without unwanted calories adding up. 🙂
