Breakfast at work?

cwolfman13

I make my oats and my omelet the night before and bring them to work and reheat in the microwave

hawksfan881972

I'm usually 2 pieces of toast, 2 tbs low fat peanut butter, and 2 cups of coffee with half and half. Usually puts me around 450 calories, which is under my budget for my daily meals.

I make my overnight oats with plain fat free yogurt thinned with a little water. I like canned pumpkin stirred in and a few dried cherries give it a pop of flavor.

I fry up some eggs and make toast while I'm getting ready for work. I typically don't eat the sandwich until I get to work.

Oatmeal tastes so bland to me. My trainer created a meal plan and I can either eat one hard boiled egg, or brown sugar oatmeal. I am not a fan of oatmeal I don't know why. I think its the texture.

I eat 2 hard boiled eggs, a banana, and 4 walnut halves. Just make sure you don't overcook the eggs or they will smell like rotten eggs. Comes out to about 15gr of protein, 15gr of fat, and 29gr of carbs.

I either do..
overnight oats.. (mmmm warm them up in the microwave and it's heaven)
Or.. a hardboiled egg and two pieces of toast with butter.
You can even cook a raw egg in the microwave. Scramble in a dish and zap for 1 minute.

oh yes, and a banana. And Coffee!!! can't forget coffee.

i make a tray of muffins...

i want to say that they're a little less than 300 calories a piece. i know it's a lot, but it's really filling.

i typically bring a package of OatFit instant oatmeal and a smoothie (almond milk, protein powder, spinach and peanut butter) for breakfast

Hi. I usually take my cereal into work and leave it in my drawer since work provides milk. I personally like Nutri-Grain or Weetbix. If you don't like that then make sure u have a container and 2 eggs. Mix that with 2caps of milk and season, pop it into the microwave for 2mins and u have scrambled eggs. Season and may have toast with it

Maybe you can make this sweet potato pie smoothie and take it to go at work..its very filling too! I have it all the time for breakfast..its a nutribullet recipe but it works in a blender too http://pin.it/bdp8UKr

I've been doing coffee with milk and ginger with no sugar, and one English muffin lately. Still not helping. Maybe I do need some eggs. It is so hard because hard boiled eggs can be smelly and I work in a cubicle.

Can you try a good protein shake?

krishnap1104

I am not a huge fan of protein shakes. Atleast, I haven't had one that is good.

We premake breakfast burritos at our house, and breakfast "casseroles." Scrambled egg whites, peppers and onions, meat of choice, wrapped in a spinach wrap. You can make a bunch at one time, wrap in freezer paper, and put them in a freezer bag. They reheat really well in the mornings. I also will make something like an eggwhite frittata that makes 5 servings and eat on that in the mornings at work. Just heat it up when I get to my office.

I use to bring yogurt with a storage bag of grape nuts cereal, dried fruit, sunflower seeds and unsweetened coconut. I liked pina coloda yogurt best with the mix. Or yogurt and Graham crackers.

I do something similar to this^

When I'm packing my lunch the night before - I dump yogurt in a large covered mug, then add berries. I measure out FiberOne cereal and nuts, place is a small zip-lock baggie. In the a.m. I can dump the dry ingredients into the yogurt & berries.

Pre-cooking oatmeal (covered mug again) .....then add banana slices, nuts & reheat. I keep banana slices in the freezer at work.

I make mini egg frittata cups. In fact I'm making them as we speak. For a regular one dozen muffin pan (I use a silicone one): 6 eggs, 1 cup egg beaters, 1 cup 1% milk whisked together. The filling can be whatever you want - just precook it. Today it's chicken breakfast sausage, spinach and feta. I fill each cup about 2/3 of the way with the filling and then add the egg mixture. Bake at 375 for ~25 minutes or until the center is set. I eat two for a serving - they're about 125 calories each, depending on your filling. They're fine for the fridge for 5-6 days but you can also freeze them.

Hi Guys,

I have a lot of trouble coming up with easy recipes for breakfast. I don't have time to eat in the morning, so I always eat at my desk. Here are some of the things I usually eat
-Fiber One Cookie and Coffee
-Fruit (melons)
-Cliff Bar

My go-to breakfasts are protein bars, yogurt + berries, oatmeal with PB+ protein powder + banana. I always start the day with a protein bar pre-workout and then eat one of these as soon as I arrive at work.

I eat a greek yogurt when I arrive at 7:30 and then have second breakfast (usually nuts, cheese and a fruit) around 10:30 or 11. Lunch is 12 or 1 depending on the snack and then I have another snack 3 or 4pm which helps me not eat the house when I get home. I plan all my food out the night before.

CaptainPepperJack

I juggle these around during the week. Breakfast 1 and 5 are when I'm really not hungry. I don't like making or eating breakfast.

1) 15 almonds for protein
2) Berries (6 oz of blueberries or raspberries)
3) Yogurt
4) Other fruit like a banana, 1/2 melon, or any citrus
5) 2 cups of coffee and tons of water

megzchica23

I like to have half a whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and a yogurt.

Guns_N_Buns

I have a mini-fridge in my office that I stock with greek yogurt, protein shakes and my unsweetened coconut milk. I have some cereal and granola in one of my drawers and I'm still not burnt out on granola in a yogurt for breakfast...soooo good! Also, as another poster wrote -- bring some fruit and VOILA, you have a parfait!

Does coconut milk taste good?

crzyone

I like to make it the night before: flatbread with sliced turkey and veggies. Roll it up and put in a Ziploc baggie. I can eat it without needing fork, spoon, micro. etc. I like cilantro, onions, cheese, peppers, lettuce, etc.

Yes! I can't tell the difference when consuming it with cereal.

My husband is not calorie counting nor does he need to. He is newly obsessed with coconut milk, though.

3 minute five grain cereal cooked halfway in microwave. add egg and poach about a minute more. a little s&p. quick and filling.

soccerkon26

I scramble eggs with spinach and tomatoes and cheese with either bacon or sausage. I do this on the weekend and portion it for each day of the week. All I need to do is heat it up at work!

Taylorgo90

I usually have a smoothie - one banana, cup of spinach and almond milk. Very delicious and nutritious
