Breakfast ideas for work in the summer?

David_2015

Hi all

I wonder if any of you have any ideas about this. I religiously (can't function without it!) at work (Mon-Fri) always have a breakkie when I get to my desk at 9 of the Oat So Simple Golden Syrup Bigger Bowl porridge (298 cals with milk) and it keeps me full until lunch most days (sometimes I'll have a banana or cereal bar at about 12 to tide me over) but overall I find it really good to keep me full. As we've now entered June which means warmer weather (and apparently a heatwave about to hit the UK) I was trying to think of alternatives to have when it gets really warm that

(a) are around the 300 cal mark
(b) are easy to prepare and eat at my desk
(c) are slow release energy that will keep me full for up to 4 hours

Any ideas? In previous summers when I wasn't losing weight it wasn't an issue at all as I would have anything I fancied: high cal cold creamy coffees, pastries, sugary cereals, etc, but I am determined to find a good equivalent that won't leave me sweating from eating it....

All suggestions greatly recieved!

An apple or other fruit with nuts or cheese.
Cottage or ricotta cheese with sliced almonds.

Smoothies! I have a banana, strawberries/raspberries/blueberries and 0% fat yogurt. You can pick up a decent blender for under £20.

Thanks for all replies everyone. I discovered Quest bars which seem to be doing the trick. Keep me full for at least 3 hours plus have sky rocketed the protein in my macros....!

I do a Premier protein shake from Costco and an ounce of walnuts. Keeps me good until lunch.

You can get them at Vitamin Shoppe, some grocery stores, and GNC. If not online on their site

I eat a wrap with Mama Lupe's Low-Carb Tortilla, 2 slices turkey, 1 Sargento thin slice cheese (any flavor you like), a handful of baby lettuce and a couple slices of Roma tomato around 8am. This is 170 calories, is full of protein and tastes awesome. Then around 10am I eat a Greek yogurt. Then I have some fruit around noonish, cut watermelon an apple or a banana, then lunch around 2pm. I like to eat small meals throughout the day.

Yogurt, protein powder, and fruit.

Overnight oats or muesli! Prep it the night before by taking 1/2 cup of oats and mixing it with 1/4 cup yogurt and 1/4 cup lowfat milk. Let it sit overnight in the fridge in a tupperware container. It's delicious cold.

Vitatop (lots of protein and fiber) and banana or other piece of fruit. I also drink coffee.
