Breakfast on the go advice

I don't like to eat breakfast but it's one of the changes I need to make. I've never been much for eating breakfast so I try to eat at least something.

Eggs upset my stomach in the mornings. I don't have time to cook a bunch. Any advice for a quick, waist friendly breakfast?

Has anyone else made the change successfully??

Thanks in advance for any advice. I appreciate that people are willing to take the time to help others out!!!! 

 

You could do one of the meal replacement shakes or bars. 

Fruit is always good, but doesn't relly keep me full for too long. But you could add some yogurt to add protein.

I make a peanut butter sandwich to eat during my first class. Personally, I don't like it to get all squished, so I toast the bread before spreading. Quick, portable, and very easy on the wallet.

search for "chocolate chip banana muffin"... there is a recipe in the database for a high-fiber muffin that is deeeelicious (and a good number of calories for breakfast, but not too much.)

 

I make a bunch on the weekend and store them in a ziptop bag in the fridge for the week. 

Which ones do you prefer?  I've never tried any of them so where do I get started?

I think  a lot of breakfast is routine. Where are you going in the morning cause could you bring it there like cereal/oatmeal?If not on the go ideas yogurt/granola/fruit,cottage cheese,bagel,if you like pb sandwich and don't want toast or smushed they sell sandwich holders for packing.Try to have a balance of protein/fat/carbs for lasting power

A lot of days I add trail mix to my breakfast.  ITs an easy way to get calories and it gives you energy and protein.  Dried fruit is also quick...I love dried apricots...Other ideas might be Luna Bars, other meal replacements, or smoothies. 

this is the one I like:

I enjoy the Kelloggs Special K bars in Strawberry or Vanilla

The easiest and most filling is a protein shake!

1 banana, 1 cup of any fruit ( I find frozen strawberries are the best), 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of OJ or low fat soy milk, 1/2 cup of (Dannon) vanilla yogurt, and one scoop of whey protein ( I use GNC strawberry whey powder).  This will make two servings, so if you only want one serving, cut it in half.

You're looking at (roughly,) 370 calories, 2.5g fat, 160mg sodium, 52g carbs, 2g fiber, 35g protein

 

Thanks to everyone! I appreciate it so much!

A lot of good ideas!

The smoothie sounds like it would be as yummy as a dessert!

tiger,

Of course, you could break out of the traditional breakfast mode and go with a salad, or a baggie of carrots & celery, or some chicken or tuna salad in lettuce wraps.

I keep a box of Special K at my desk since I do not get hungry until around 10 am in the morning. Aside from a cup of coffee in the early morning, I usually don't eat anything until 10 am. This works for me.

I differ from most - is 10 minutes totally unsupervised considered cooking?  I make this killer oatmeal that is around 375 calories and sticks with you for HOURS. 1/2C non quick, non instant oats; 1C H2O*; 1.5T PB; 1 Banana; Salt; Cinnamon.  Make oats as directed w. salt and H2O, let bubble gently for 10 mins.  Pour into bowl, add PB, banana and cinnamon.  Eat - nummy. Can use cow juice - add the 100 calories or whatever though.  I'm no soy vegan.

When I have to eat a quick breakfast I will either have

1. 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese with 1/4 cup pumpkin and 1/3 cup fiber one, coffee

2. 1/2 cup egg beaters with 1 slice of nature's own sf toast, coffee

oh and I always have 10 almonds every morning.

I bag cereal.  Lately its been 1 cup cheerios mixed with 1/4 cup raisins.  The raisins sweeten the cheerios.  230 cals (I can't do big breakfast), 5 grams fiber.  I follow it up a couple hours later with yogurt (yo-plus) and a banana.

Whats nice is if I wake up late, I already have breakfast in little portable bags so I can grab it and go.

I get the low fat or fat free cheese sticks. I forget the brand but it has Disney written on it. Yes, it is kids meal :) but I absolutely love it. 60 cals per stick, plus you can eat it on the go.

Wrap a Boca breakfast wrap in a paper towel. Eat. : P

For a while I made oatmeal up in my rice cooker the week before and portioned it into containers.  I'd add frozen raspberries and milk after reheating it in the microwave for 30 seconds.

i really like the special k waffles with different toppings on them. some of the toppings i use are: peanut butter and bananas, sugar free maple syrup, sugar free strawberry jelly with fat free whipped cream, sliced apples and cinnamon.... is it tomorrow yet? cause i want my breakfast!

That sounds delicious!!! I can multi-task! Do my make-up and cook my breakfast at the same time!!! Win-Win!!

Thank you!!!
