I eat two packets of quaker oatmeal for breakfast. That's 300 calories a morning. The box i buy from costco floats around $15 or so for 52 packets. Thats an entire months worth of breakfast and with less calories than your muffins, which means im able to achieve my daily calorie deficit easier (trying to hit 1600 every day - been doing a good job of it for the last 3 months).
I do a yogurt Smoothie (130 cals) and a cup of black coffee for first breakfast, then a carnation breakfast essentials or a muscle milk protein shake for second breakfast.
It hits my protein goals (super important- I have a very physically demanding job) but it costs more than eating garbage (or pure carbs which I can't afford to do for my health).
