    I live on oats as well. Double batch steelcut which i portion out into tupperware for breakfast in the week. I mix up the fruit I add (while cooking) but really like adding cinnamon to every batch. I'll microwave and top it with eggs, kimchi, peanut butter, or yogurt.

    I also have the instant packages on hand as backup.

    Leftovers from the previous day are also on the menu.

    I do egg white frittatas, an 8" pan and a container of Kirkland egg whites with whatever veggies are in the fridge. Makes 4 servings. I also will do kale and protein powder smoothies and make a couple in advance.

    Do you fully cook the steel cut oats the night before? I prefer steel cut but so far I have not seen any 'put in fridge over night' type recipe for it.

    You can pre-cook a batch and reheat. You could pre-cook a huge batch and freeze single servings to microwave, if you want.

    I boil eggs for the week. 1 hard boiled egg is enough to curb my hunger until lunch. Its boring, but its really helped me stay on track.

    You can use steel cut oats (uncooked) in any overnight oats recipe you see.

    I also boil eggs so they are ready to go in the morning. I usually eat them with fruit and/or yogurt.

    I make a protein shake the night before. I use an honest tea glass bottle. On the weekends I just drink coffee with extra half and half in it.

    I'm really into making overnight oats, it's a life-saver. I usually make mine with some kind of nut butter for protein and workout fuel. On Sundays I'll put everything but the milk into 5 mason jars in the fridge so I can just throw the liquid in the night before and it'll be ready in the morning.

    1/2 cup rolled oats
    1/2 cup milk (I like almond milk)
    1 tbsp peanut butter
    1tsp honey
    pinch of salt

    I have a very similar recipe that I'm eating all week:

    60 grams oats
    12 grams PB2
    1 packet Stevia
    1/2 cup almond milk
    Then 15 grams mini semi sweet chocolate chips get dumped in right before I eat.

    I have quick cook steel cut oats from Costco (below link). I think they would work in those overnight recipes, but I cook them the usual way then put in the fridge.

    Mostly hardboiled eggs and a big pot of steel cut oats that can be reheated. If I'm feeling ambitious, I'll bake a batch of wonton egg cups or baked proats on Sunday.

    Tell me about these wonton egg cups!

    I use this recipe as a baseline, but you can really add anything you want. They're yummy!

    Egg McMuffins - bake 9 eggs + 9 egg whites in a 9" square pan. Cool & cut into 9 squares. Store squares in freezer with a slice of Canadian bacon. The night before (when I'm packing lunch) I take an egg square out of the freezer to thaw in the refrigerator.

    In the a.m. I warm the eggs in the microwave (don't heat too much or they will be rubbery) while toasting a high fiber English muffin. Slap on a piece of 2% cheese. Wrap in a paper towel and I'm out the door.

    Ah, I've seen you post this before and thought it was a brilliant idea! Stealing it...

    Crock pot oats - 2 cups of old fashioned oats - 2 cups water - 2 cups milk (protein). Add 8 teaspoons Splenda, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook on low about 3 hours. Cover & refrigerate. I like to slice 1/2 banana and heat with the oats. Then bananas get soft and mushy when cooked.

    I like sandwichs. Like cinnamon raisin bread toasted with a banana. Sometimes I actually slice the banana up and put it on the toast. Sometimes I just eat toast with a banana. We have a toaster oven at work. So it's convenient for me to just put 2 slices of bread in baggies and grab a banana. Also, it's super filling.

    Breakfast tacos. Make a big batch for dinner on the weekend - cook together eggs, sausage, onion, lots of peppers, beans, hot sauce. Wrap in tortillas, tin foil, then freeze and reheat during the week. Very filling and stops me from snacking in the mornings.

    Trying to figure out if I can cut out the tortilla - it's a big proportion of the calories.

    Plain greek yougurt with berries (often frozen berries). If you prep it into wide-mouth jars, you can blend it smooth with a stick blender right in the jar. I'll buy the big tub of yogurt at Costco and divide it up into 4 jars, makes an easy grab-and-go breakfast. You could add protein powder if needed, and I'll add flavor extracts from time to time.
