Yummy Breakfasts that are under 200 Calories

When we are following a diet plan, we keep a strict observation on the calorie intake in every meal. At the same time, we also want our meal to be tasty, within our calorific limit and yet tummy-filling. Most of you all who follow a diet plan has the same breakfast almost every day. But once in a while, we all crave for something different, something appetising and healthy.

Every day in the morning, my mom asks her favourite question, “What will you have in breakfast?” And, this must be the case for every one of you, Right? But after reading this food blog, you will have a few breakfast ideas which are less than 200 calories and will keep you full for a longer time.

1 Classic Egg Dish – Omelette

Calorie intake: 100-150

Starting with my most favourite go-to food. Eggs are considered one of the best first meal of the day. These are easily available and inexpensive. Bonus point, You can be as experimental with eggs as you want to and turn a simple egg dish to gourmet mains.
However, for breakfast I would like you all to stick to simple classic egg dishes, like scrambled eggs, sunny side up or omelettes. Take care to cook omelettes in olive oil or mustard oil. Also, add vegetables or protein-rich ingredient to make it more healthy.

I can write a blog just on Eggs and lip-smacking ways to have it. And, if you all want me to write one, please comment “Eggs” down in the comment section.

Moving on to the next famous breakfast

2 Love of every Indian household – Poha

Calories Intake: 180 calories in one plate

“Indore aaye aur Pohe nahi khyae toh kya hi matlab”

Poha is a very common breakfast in every household and is easy to cook in minutes. It has about 76.9% of carbohydrates and 23% fat, therefore is a great source of energy. It is a nourishing meal with the right quantity of carbohydrates, fibres, iron, vitamins and antioxidants. And an added advantage, it is gluten-free. Poha keeps your tummy full for a longer duration as well as avoids bloating issue.

3 Fluffy & White as Moon – Idli

Calories Intake: 33 calories in 1 idli

Grinding good quality boiled rice and urad dal is an almost a daily affair in South Indian homes. This fluffy and white as moon dish is now one of the favourite meal in the world. Idli is highly nutritious and is rich in carbohydrates and vitamins. And since it is steamed, the essential nutrients are retained. It is easy to digest as it is a fermented food, enabling a better breakdown of minerals and vitamins in the body.

Breakfast are supposed to make you feel energetic for a long day. Making Idli the perfect choice.

4 Crispy & Healthy – Dosa

This South Indian delicacy is a wholesome breakfast option which is a treat to your taste buds. Like idli, dosa is also a fermented food, thus making it easy for the body to digest. It is considered as the best source for carbohydrates and protein, keeping you all energetic throughout the day. This dish is low in saturated fats and is considered healthy and a safer option for diabetics as well as heart patients. You can also use rava or oats to make dosa more healthy.

6 Versatile Cereal- Oats, Masala Oats

Calories Intake: 170 calories in 1 bowl of masala oats

In Western countries, oats are commonly eaten as a porridge. But when this lovely dish met Indians, we modified it into a khichdi, commonly known as masala oats. Oats are rich in fibres and also have a low glycemic index, ideal for diabetic individuals as well as good for weight loss. This dish is gluten-free and provides one with vitamins, minerals and proteins. Oats are also rich in powerful antioxidants, including avenanthramides, which help in reducing the blood pressure. Having masala oats for your breakfast keeps you fuller for a longer time and thus helps in weight loss.

7 India’s hot favourite – Upma

Calories Intake: 192 calories in 1 serving

Originally from South India, upma has become India’s favourite, a quick to make breakfast option. Upma is made by roasting rava, (rich in protein, vitamin B, potassium and iron) in 1-2 tbs butter or ghee or oil. Upma slows the digestion process, keeping you full for a longer time and hence prevents overeating. A bowl of upma with lot veggies makes it tastier and also a good source of fibres and vitamins. Upma is low in cholesterol which makes it a healthy and tasty breakfast.

So, I have given you 7 delicious and healthy breakfast options with low-calorie intake. Now, what are you waiting for? Cook this easy to make dishes on your own and give a pat on your back.
