Low Calorie Omelette Recipes – 3 Filling Low Calorie Breakfasts

Guess what? It is possible to make a delicious and savory omelette for under 200 calories. Read on for 3 great variations that will help you stick to your healthy low calorie diet. Eggs are a fantastic weight loss super food and you should try to eat them every morning. If you’re tired of scrambled eggs, try a filling omelette!

Omelettes can be a breakfast in themselves, or add a piece of dry whole wheat toast, a 6oz glass of orange juice or cup of fruit for a well-rounded, low calorie breakfast idea!

Before we get on to the low calorie omelette ideas, here are some basic tips and tricks on how to reduce the calories in your omelettes to just under 200 calories.

• Use egg whites, instead of yolks. One egg white has 17 calories and an entire egg, including yolk is about 70 calories. While most traditional omelettes call for three full eggs and cream or milk, make the following switch and save on calories so you can use that deficit to add yummy fillings!
