500 calorie breakfast choices

[LethalToxin]

I am going to try for a 3000 calorie a day intake, in 6 meals of 500 calories each roughly.
So far I just have the breakfast done and I'd like opinions/just to know what you think

I made three different breakfast chocies just to add variety to i can mix it up every now and then, and keep close macros

Special K is pretty much nutritionally void. Go for oats. It's just a personal recommendation but so long as a) you like it and b) you hit your macros and are getting sufficient micros, you can eat whatever you please. Try to be a little more dependent on whole sources of protein vs the shakes, but again, whatever you enjoy. It doesn't matter too much.

Whatever it takes to meet your macros, personally I would just take the first 2 options you have and mix them all up in a bowl and make a nice sludge, saves time.

your first mistake is getting on a 3000 kcal diet and splitting it up into 6 meals containing 500 kcal each.
unless this is convenient for you, you dont need 6 meals a day. just eat when hungry.

on to the meals. this was a good attempting at trying to add some variety to your diet, but imo you're still restricting yourself to just those 3 meals for breakfast.
just eat whatever you feel like eating, if it happens to be one of the meals you've listed then so be it.
also, breakfast doesnt have to contain your typical breakfast foods fyi.

454g non fat yogurt- 260cal 46g protein 0g fat 19g carb
28g brown flax seed- 150cal 5g protein 12g fat 0g carb 8g dietary fiber (fibrous carbs)
14g walnuts- 90cal 9g fat 2g protein 2g carb (2g fibrous carbs)

total- 500cal- 53g protein 21g fat- 21g carb - 10g fibrous carbs (+/- 10 calories)

You can also adjust walnuts/flax and add some fruit. If it has to be 500 calories. I prefer to chop up some grapes or strawberry 50cal worth to sweeten it up.

^ OP, this is 100% true.

My breakfast (around 11am-1pm normally) consists of 1100-1200 calories, thus it is hard for me to really tell you what I personally eat OP.

A hash brown and an English muffin, bacon, eggs and cheese would be 500 calories.

500ML milk (280 calories around), a bagel with cream cheese (220 calories) would also be 500 calories.

Scrambled eggs (pan with butter), bacon and some cereal is also 500 calories.

I mean man, there's too many choices...

Go for the one that tastes the best.

Looks almost exactly like my usual breakfasts

I would go for breakfast #1. My only change to it would be replacing the special K cereal with an equivalent ammount of oats. Special K is pretty much empty calories, and high GI. Go with oats, trust me.
