Easy and Healthy Breakfast Ideas for Weight Loss

If you’re looking for a mouthwatering, low-calorie breakfast, consider whipping up Amidor’s Mediterranean breakfast bowl. “Hard-cooked eggs are a great protein breakfast option as the protein helps keep you feeling satisfied. Plus you can prep it in advance to help save time in the morning. Pair it with vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes which have fiber and are lower in calories. Add a spoonful of hummus for healthy fat—which also provides that satiety value,” she explains.

For this breakfast bowl, you’ll need:

• 5 peeled hard-cooked eggs, divided
• 5 Kirby or mini cucumbers, divided
• 1 ¼ cups cherry tomatoes, divided
• 5 (3/4 ounces) slices of low-fat Swiss cheese, divided
• 2 ½ large (8-inch) 100% whole wheat pitas, divided
• 1 ¼ cups prepared hummus

This high-protein snack or breakfast comes from medical board member Ilana Muhlstein, MS, RDN, in her book You Can Drop It: How I Dropped 100 Pounds Enjoying Carbs, Cocktails & Chocolate—And You Can Too!
