Easy ways to cut breakfast calories

The following suggestions are courtesy of America on the Move:
  1. Select nonfat or 1% milk instead of whole milk.
  2. Use a small glass for your juice and a small bowl for your cereal
  3. Savor a bowl of bananas, berries, low-fat milk, and sugar substitute instead of a sweet roll.
  4. Choose light yogurt made with no-calorie sweetener.
  5. Split a bagel with someone, or wrap up the other half for tomorrow's breakfast.
  6. Substitute a no-calorie sweetener for sugar in your coffee, tea and cereal.
  7. Use a nonstick skillet and cooking spray in place of butter or margarine to prepare your eggs.
  8. Spread your muffin, bagel, or toast with 2 tablespoons of fat-free cream cheese in place of regular cream cheese.
  9. Substitute no-sugar-added jelly or jam for the sugar-rich varieties.
  10. Select lean ham or Canadian bacon in place of regular sausage or bacon.
  11. Fill your omelet with onions, peppers, spinach and mushrooms instead of cheese and meat.
  12. Lighten up your omelet, frittata, or scrambled eggs by using 4 egg whites or 1/2 cup egg substitute.
