Breakfast is an important meal — some even argue that it is the most important meal of the day. Because breakfast is key for providing the body with the energy you need to power through the morning, a sugar- or fat-laden morning meal isn't the greatest idea on days where productivity is key. It's also not great to load up on doughnuts morning after morning if maintaining a healthy weight is a chief concern. These 33 breakfast ideas contain everything your body needs to function like a proper human in the morning, and each falls under the 350-calorie mark.
