10 Breakfasts That Women Who’ve Lost Weight Swear By

Eggs only have up to 75 calories each–giving you the low-calorie protein hit that you need to get you through the day. Even better news: according to a recent study, women who ate two eggs for breakfast lost 65 percent more weight than those who ate a bagel. Participants also felt more energized than their bagel-eating counterparts.

Filling and delicious, fruit salads often contain low-cal watermelon, bananas, which can slow down digestion, and blueberries, which may positively change how you process fat and sugar.

Lean meats like ham, chicken, and turkey could limit cravings later on, especially when combined with low-calorie vegetables like iron-rich spinach and Vitamin D–filled mushrooms.

Whole-wheat toast, which contains fiber, digests slowly, keeping you fuller for longer. Top with avocado, which satisfies while lowering your cholesterol thanks to its monounsaturated fat.

Granola has an impressive amount of fiber, iron, and heart-healthy unsaturated fats. Eat with soy milk for less sugar than dairy milk and a fatty acid that can stop the absorption of unnecessary fat.

On its own, oatmeal can suppress your appetite. Served with fruit, the benefits only increase. And simply combining it with a small amount of honey can quash your sweet tooth in a low-calorie way.

Often healthier than peanut butter, butters containing nuts like cashews, almonds, and hazelnuts give you the same slow-release of energy. Spread on a multigrain, whole-wheat bagel to stay full.

Choosing black coffee over a latte can drastically drop your calorie intake. Eat with a 140-calorie English muffin topped with a sugar-free fruit preserve, or even tomatoes and black pepper.

Loaded with healthy bacteria and vitamins, choose a lowfat, sugar-free, natural yogurt that's high in calcium. Add a little honey or fresh fruit to sweeten.

With nothing but a couple of bananas and an egg, banana pancakes are a simple, low-cal meal. The protein can boost your metabolism, keep your muscles lean, and balance sugar levels.
