I normally don't eat breakfast, what's the fastest breakfast I can make home?

AnnieintheN0rth

I agree with skmonak. Overnight oats are a god send. Just take them out of the fridge, grab a spoon and you're ready to go. There's a great range of flavors too so it doesn't get boring, cinnamon/apple and peanut butter/banana are my favs.

VeryKatie

An apple.

Breakfast isn't for everyone. It's weird to me that your trainer doesn't know that.

I do overnight oats too. Except mine have turned into morning of oats. haha I put the oats, my cashew milk, sweetener, vanilla, dash of salt and Gingerbread cookie seasoning by Flavor God in a glass jar before I leave the house. I zap it for a min and a half when I get to work and eat at my desk.

Tweaking_Time

Make up some "hardy" breakfasts to freeze on the weekend. Then pop them in the fridge the night before to thaw overnight. Zap 'em in the morning.

I make a potato (hash brown), sausage, and egg white breakfast - mixed altogether like a hash. Freezes well and tastes great!

Oatmeal. 1/3 cup quick cooking oats, dash of salt, 2/3 c water, 1.5 minutes in my microwave. Take out add some seasoning and 2 Tbsp chopped pecans. Will boil over quickly so watch the microwave. It is quick, delicious and filling. I sweeten with a mixture of apple pie spice, cinnamon and splendid blend.

Do some meal prep on Sundays and make breakfast for the week. I use a lot of Fit Men Cook recipes for all meals. They have some excellent breakfast muffins, casseroles and egg dishes you can make in advance.

I'm lazy so I just eat a couple quest bars and call it good.

Are your workouts in the morning? Is your trainer expecting you to eat before or after working out? I workout first thing in the morning, no eating before, just a little sip of water. I don't eat until about an hour and a half later or grab something and go. I always have coffee while getting ready for work though. Do you have morning coffee? You could just make your coffee more caloric and skip breakfast or grab a bar or banana and Greek yogurt.

I eat abut 2 cups of regular oatmeal with 2 teaspoons of brown sugar and a tablespoon of granola and 2 slices of turkey bacon. Hearty breakfast to start the day.

You don't necessarily NEED to eat breakfast but there's no harm in trying it out and seeing if it results in positive changes for you. I find I have more energy if I eat a small breakfast, and I definitely need to eat something before I workout. Here are some breakfast ideas:
* Hard-boiled eggs. Not the most amazing thing ever but I make 6 at a time and have two for breakfast each day, with some fruit.
* Yogurt with fruit
* Mini quiches...sounds like a pain BUT all it really requires is making a mix of eggs, veggies (I use bell pepper and onion), a splash of milk, and some spices all in a bowl. Prep a muffin pan and fill each one with the mix. Bake. Now you have breakfast for a week!
* Instant oatmeal. Sometimes I'll make a trail mix of dried fruit and nuts. I'll throw a little of that into the oatmeal, along with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
* Cottage cheese & fruit. OR cottage cheese with cinnamon and a touch of honey
* Toast or english muffin. Sometimes with peanut butter, or peanut butter and bananas, or honey, or jam

If I'm in a huge rush, I might just grab some pieces of fruit and some nuts and snack in the mornings at work, instead of having a whole meal. Or I'll stop by a gas station and get a bar (my favorites are Powercrunch, Kind, and Larabar).

I've found a really good organic, whole-grain bread that has sunflower seeds on the crust. I toast that, and top with a slice of Havarti cheese (very soft & mellow). I splurge by putting cinnamon creamer in coffee. Often add fruit (banana / tangerine / apple) to round out the meal.

rsclause

Slice of toast with almond butter. Also good before a long run.

VanessaFournier91

Smoothie, if you have a magic bullet, put all the ingredients in the cup the night before (I usually do 1cup frozen fruit, 1cup of water or almond milk, 1 scoop of a protein, bunch of spinach, tbls of PB, some chia, some flax). When you make it the night before you just wake up and "zap" it!

sammiejoe1991

My quick breakfast is usually a tortilla wrap with peanut butter and a banana rolled inside. Very tasty fairly filling (for me anyway) and gets me out the door in no time.

I premake my food the night before , but I agree with the yogurt comment. I use the oikos triple zero as a snack between breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner , but it used to be my breakfast item for weeks along with a baby bell gouda cheese. The overnight oatmeal also a great idea as it gives the carbs. I prepare protein pancakes on sundays for the entire week. I prepare enough for several weeks actually and sit them in the fridge bagged 3 per bag. Its 400 calories per the 3 as I make them. On the third day I place the balance of what is not needed until the following week in the freezer. they thaw quickly in the Micro. Filling and satisfying.

No reason to eat in the morning if you do not want to.
Save your calories for lunch if that works for you.

This, your trainer is wrong.

disagree unless the Op is loading up at bed time on fats and slow proteins to keep out of a catabolic state (unlikely). The trainer is likely telling the OP to do this to exit the catabolic state most of us wake up in.

Upon waking something should be eaten if growth is the goal and assuming the plan is not to workout within 30 minutes of rising..just my .02.

Nikion901

IT only takes 5 minutes to make and I do it while my coffee is brewing. Old Fashioned Oats - 1/2 cup of them, with 1 cup of water and 1 egg mixed into the water before adding the oats. Usually top it with 1/2 cup of frozen berries and pop it into the microwave for 4 minutes. Then sprinkle on some cinnamon.

Sometimes I don't do the egg and use 1/4 cup of nuts instead. Othertimes I skip the egg or nuts, and the berries but do a serving of peanut butter and 1/2 of a banana instead. No matter which way I go, cinnamon gets sprinkled on top before I dig into it.

It scares me a bit to see the amount of people who want to be healthy but think that healthy involves skipping breakfast! As a yo yo dieter for most of my life, the biggest change I made with the biggest results was having a decent breakfast. BREAK FAST - You are breaking your fasting from the night before. Not having breakfast slows down your metabolism as you body conserves its energy not knowing when you are getting your next meal. Ideally most of your calories consumed should be earlier in the day not later. This means your body will burn through what you have given it to start the day and go looking for more and hence will start to burn through excess when it doesn't get it. Having your bulk calories later in the day means that you don't end up using them when you need them and they get stored as excess. A healthy breakfast is the best start to the day! Try it!

lisanicole72

Non fat Greek yogurt, grapes, oats, and a tsp of honey

Taylorgo90

My usually breacfast - youghurt and muesli with coffee

alexgirl06

I know others said oatmeal, but if you add half a banana and some slivered almonds, it's still quick and has a little more to give you fuel for the day.

littleberriesinbarrie

For a real quick easy breakfast I do 1/2c kefir 1tbsp ground flax & 1 scoop vega protein powder shaken, add ice if you like it cold

I also recently bought powdered peanut butter & I blend 1 fzn banana, 2 tbsp pb2, 1 tbsp flax, 125ml rice milk with some ice and it is soooo delicious!

anlymc13

I make breakfast burritos on the weekend and freeze them. Super easy, fast and delicious! Pop one in the micro for 2 mins and out the door I go!

kstuhlly

*Whole wheat english muffin toasted spread with hummus and add tomato slice,
*Spread peanut butter on whole wheat bread and wrap around a banana,
*Slice of whole-grain bread toast, spread with ricotta cheese, top with avocado slices and crushed red pepper,

beetle_stomper

Egg "muffins". Scramble eggs and add whatever veggies you like, a bit of cheese, pour into a greased muffin tin about 3/4 full. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes, until tops are just starting to brown. You can then wrap them up and stick them in the fridge, warm up the next day, and there you have it.

same here i eat more later

Beef jerky ( I make homemade). Eat in the car, no mess, high protein, no carb. Not a lot of food because I'm not ever hungry in morning.

Hi,

I'm not a big breakfast lover, but what really works for me is:
Bought a smoothie maker, nowt fancy just the £20 Breville VBL062 Blend Active Personal Blender.

All I do is chuck in:

• Granola, muesli, oat crunch, or oats (anything like that really)
• Some frozen fruit (cheapest from Tesco is 90p for a bag)
• Half a banana
• Plain yoghurt
• Water

And whizz it for a minute or two; lovely milkshake with everything you need. I play around with adding other bits such as ginger, honey, peanut butter, spinach(!), turmeric, cinamon whatever really (not all at the same time!)
It's the fastest way to get a good breaky down my neck and I quite like the taste now :-)

Hope that's of use/interest/help.
Cheers,
Paul

Honestly if you're comfortable not eating breakfast just stay that way. It's easier to keep a deficit. If you start eating breakfast now you're adding food/calories to your day lol.

AltoAstral

Prepare muffin pan omelette: use redegg with spinach (or artichoke, zucchini, etc), onions, top wit a sprinkle of cheese. Bake for 20mins and voila! You have breakfast for the whole week!
