When you want to follow a 1500-calorie diet, try to aim for 3 400-calorie meals, which leaves you room for two 150-calorie snacks during the day. I tend to find that a healthy breakfast motivates me to stick to my diet for the rest of the day, but sometimes I'm rushed and really don't want to think too hard or cook anything complex before heading to work. That's why I've come up with my three favorite breakfast options, and I simply rotate through them during my week. I hope that my ideas can help keep your diet on track!
Breakfast Option #1: Toast a whole wheat English muffin and spread each half generously with a crunchy, all-natural peanut butter. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon if you have a sweet tooth.
Breakfast Option #2: Break out the blender and whip up a berry smoothie. Blend 1 cup of frozen berries with one cup of 100% juice (I recommend apple juice), add one serving of unflavored whey protein powder, and a teaspoon of flaxseed oil. The berries provide enough flavor to cover up the flaxseed and whey, so you get 25 g of protein and a boost of good-for-you fat without having to choke down anything unsavory.
Breakfast Option #3: Prepare crepe batter the night before and store it in the fridge. Cook two thin crepes in a frying pan sprayed with no-stick vegetable oil and fill each with fresh strawberries and a bit of fat-free cool whip. The eggs and milk in the crepe provide the protein, and the fresh fruit adds a bit of indulgence to start your day off on the right foot.
Any of these breakfasts will give you the energy and nutrition you need to face the day, and at 400 calories or less apiece towards your diet, 1500 calories a day will be an easy restriction to meet.
