- Milk

Step 1
Switch from whole milk to skin or 1% milk. If you're putting the milk on cereal or in coffee or in scrambled eggs, there isn't that much difference in taste, but the exchange can save you hundreds of calories a week.
-
Step 2
Make three light pancakes with light syrup, four veggie sausage links, a handful of blueberries and a warm baked apple with cinnamon and sweetener. Make the baked apples, sausages and pancakes ahead of time and heat them up in the microwave to save time. This is a nutritious, low-fat, filling breakfast.
-
Step 3
Whip scrambled eggs with a wire whisk and cook in the microwave. It fluffs up to look like two eggs and you'll save calories and cholesterol. Keep a zipper bag full of sauteed (in cooking spray) bell pepper, onions and mushrooms in the fridge. Throw 1/4 cup of the mix into your eggs for a delicious low-fat treat. Serve with half a grapefruit, low-cal toast and veggie sausage or veggie ham slices for a wonderful low-fat, low cholesterol and low calorie treat.

Step 4
Stop buying jams and jellies and marmalades. Switch to sugar free, diabetic or dietetic all-fruit spreads. These taste more like real fruit and they contain as little as ten calories for a tablespoon.
-
Step 5
Eat a breakfast bar only when you have to. Buy one that is filled with protein as it will keep you full and give you energy far longer. All breakfast bars are not low calorie. Always read the box and check for fat and sugar content.
-
Step 6
Keep oatmeal on hand. It fills you up and stays with you for the whole morning. Add a piece of fruit and you're good to go. Don't forget that it's a natural cholesterol lowering food.
-
Step 7
For a quick, filling breakfast when you're on the go, lightly coat a whole grain bagel with low-fat cream cheese.
