I usually do Greek yogurt and fruit for breakfast. It's fast and yummy. Or a smoothly, you can use freezer bags and pre portion the smoothies and just throw them in the blender real quick. I've also been know to do a hard boiled egg on toast with mistard or just almond butter on toast.0

I prepare refrigerator oats ahead of time, typically two mason jars which is four servings for me.

My proportions are regular yogurt (instead of Greek) to fill the mason jar within an inch from the top, 1/3 cup oatmeal, a tablespoon of chia seeds if I have them, and top the jar with frozen fruit (blueberries).0 -
in the morning put some frozen peppers & onions in a frying pan on low heat, you have 20mins to do what you need to get done while they cook, then I put an egg in mix it all together and make into a omelette sandwich0

I put a Quest bar in my face while I wait for the train. No way I have the patience to put anything on the stove before 7:30 am.0

I do oats in the microwave: 1/2 c oats, 1 c water, zap for 2 minutes. Add any sweetener, fruit, etc you want.
Some days I also do a slice of toast with a hard cooked egg sliced on top. I always cook up a dozen eggs at a time and peel them right away so they are in the refrigerator ready to go.

I have a microwave egg poacher, it will cook 2 eggs in under 90 seconds. Add to whole grain toast with a slice of cheese and you can make a sandwich for yourself and someone else, or you cook both eggs and refrigerate one for the next day.0

overnight oats
rice cakes with peanut butter & banana or toast with the same
cliff bars

Sounds crazy, but I smash 1 container of sugar free jello then mix in 1/2 cup of fat free cottage cheese (Walmart 's Great Value is lowest in calories). It's only 85 calories and 13g of protein. Keeps me satisfied for a good 3 hours. Also great for a snack especially if you're craving something sweet.0

On my day off I boil a dozen eggs and eat 1 or 2 for breakfast. 1-2 minutes with a piece of toast.0

Turkey burger I make the night before. I heat it up and add salsa or a little refried beans.

do not eat breakfast in fact do not eat anything for 5 - 8 hours after you wake. this burns more fat than you can imagine and also nothing wrong with doing it perfectly healthy for you. its called intermittent fasting read up on it. i have been doing it for about 8 months now awesome. it is hard first 4 days but then you adapt to it. hope this helps good luck.0

Fat free greek yogurt, frozen berries, spinach (or not, up to you), splenda ( or sweetener of choice) and apple juice. In the blender, into cup, drink it on my way to work.0

scrambled eggs...all of 5 minutes.0

If I skip breakfast, I spend the entire day snacking. Meal timing is a personal preference, as everyone who does IF knows.
OP: take some plain Greek yogurt, add in granola and fruit of your choice. Very filling and easy.0 -

Forgive me, I haven't work out serving sizes or calories, but these are freakin' amazing. I made 10 regular size muffin cups and plan to eat 2 for breakfast. Like I said, I didn't work out calories. 1 minute in the microwave and some hot sauce - YUM.0 -
egg in the microwave on a toasted multigrain English muffin with a slice of muenster.
or multigrain waffle with nut butter, or jam.
those are my two main ones0 -
I cook my breakfasts for the week on Sunday. I scramble an egg, egg beaters, egg whites with turkey sausage, kale, spinach, mushrooms, and garlic.
For my serving:
Cals 312
Carbs 10
Protein 43
Fat 10
You can add more fat or carbs in a side (like toast with butter, oatmeal, etc.) if you want/need.0 -
depends on what you mean by not a lot of time. are you asking for quick things to cook or items you can just grab and go? i scramble up eggs with goat cheese, asparagus and smoked salmon. great protein filler and not high in calories. but it take about three to four minutes to cook.0

Depends in large part on what you're looking for in a breakfast. Yesterday I found a great and simple smoothie recipe. Very high protein to carb ratio. 37g protein, 6g carb, 4g fat, and 201 calories.
2.00 tablespoons, Peanut Butter, Powdered
3.00 Heaping Tbsp (30g), Soy Protein Shake Natural Flavor
0.25 cup(s), Break free 100% Liquid Egg Whites
0.50 Cup (240ml), Unsweetened Cashew Milk
Blend with 4-5 ice cubes (A Vitamix is a magical tool)
Next time I plan to try more egg white. First time on this recipe I didn't have any, and it was more of a slushy. The egg white helped keep everything in suspension more, and made it much smoother.0 -
A hard boiled egg with a piece of fruit usually works for me when I need something quick. I usually cook the eggs on a Sunday, peel them and store them for the week.

Why? Breakfast isn't important, nothing wrong with skipping it...
Nothing wrong with skipping a traditionally timed breakfast if you aren't hungry (really, the first meal of the day is "breakfast" since you are "breaking" your "fast"). There is no need to force yourself to eat at specified times. That said, if you *are* hungry in the morning you should eat. Intermittent fasting isn't necessarily skipping breakfast, or waiting 5-8 hours after waking to eat - it's more a matter of limiting your intake to a specified window of time during the day (usually 8-10 hours). And, like anything else, while some people find it very helpful and useful, others won't
To the OP: I had cottage cheese (1/2 C), with grape tomatoes (8), sunflower kernels (1 Tbs), and half an avocado for breakfast. Fast, delicious, filling.

Yep. Basically same thing here. I make a breakfast burrito. Eggs, bacon, tortilla, salsa. While the eggs are cooking, everything else gets prepped in about 90 seconds.
The bacon I prep for the week (usually longer) in a glass 13x9 pan (kitchen tip: cooking bacon in the oven in a glass pan is way cleaner than splattering it on the stove, and it turns out perfect). Burrito gets two slices of bacon, and the rest of the bacon goes into a ziploc for the remainder of the week (usually longer than that; a package of bacon usually lasts about 10 days). The bacon is literally the only food prep I do (because... bacon).
The whole burrito takes 5 minutes tops. Eggs get scrambled in a cup and slapped into the pan: 30 seconds. While that's cooking, tortilla on a plate with 2 strips of bacon from the ziploc: 30 seconds. Into the microwave for 30 seconds to warm. Pour salsa over bacon. Flip scrambled eggs. Put stuff back into refrigerator. Another minute and the eggs are on the burrito, and it's wrapped.
Tasty, warm, delicious. Whole thing comes in just ~500 calories. Satiating. Lasts until lunch. And beats the hell out of protein bars, cereals, and whatever else...
A warm, delicious breakfast is a 5-minute treat. And starts my day of great.0 -
Shredded wheat or wheatabix with bran fibre on top and semi skimmed milk. If you want something sweeter add a tsp of honey or some berries.
Adding the bran fibre has really helped curb my hunger 'til lunch time. Otherwise I'd be hungry by 10.0 -
I generally have breakfast I can take on the go. Berries with yoghurt and granola, porridge oats and dried milk (just add hot water and leave for about 5 minutes to cook) with blueberries, cereal with yoghurt or milk, there are loads of breakfast muffin recipes about which freeze well, or sometimes I will just grab a banana.0

This is awesome. People tell me not to do it but I never get hungry until like 9:00 am and I'm up at 4:30 am I've been doing this for two weeks and my body still hasn't gotten use to it though. But I don't eat after 6:00pm the night before. Does this matter?brendanio10 wrote: »do not eat breakfast in fact do not eat anything for 5 - 8 hours after you wake. this burns more fat than you can imagine and also nothing wrong with doing it perfectly healthy for you. its called intermittent fasting read up on it. i have been doing it for about 8 months now awesome. it is hard first 4 days but then you adapt to it. hope this helps good luck.

If there is any sort of insulin resistance or pre-diabetes going on, don't skip breakfast. Have breakfast the same time every day.0
