Breakfast is my LEAST favorite meal. Im working on getting a schedule for 5 meals (well, meals/snacks) a day. Can you shoot me over some good ideas for a morning snack? I love eggs, but they do not love me so a hard boiled egg is out. I like fruit in my cereal so not sure that is the best either. Im sure there are a million great ideas that I just cannot think of at the moment.

Thank you,
Steph

    I eat a bowl of apples and cinnamon instant oatmeal most mornings. It is filling, tastes good, and it doesn't have a lot of calories. The fact that it's instant means that I can fit it into my busy day.

    Fruit is always a good choice. I sometimes just have a piece of fruit, or a Kellogs breakfast bar. We are not big breakfast people either. As long as you put something in to get your metabolism going. Toast with peanut butter or butter. Mostly I have oatmeal or cream of wheat and some fruit.

    If you just can't do it, find a healthier bar with a reasonable protein/sugar/fiber ratio.
    I keep some on standby at work. Get them on Amazon.

    I love snacking on nuts (almonds are my favourite) -- I like to keep a handful in a small bag in my handbag when I go out. I would recommend measuring out your portion sizes, however, since they can add up pretty fast!

    I also love roasted chickpeas. Crunchy like potato chips, but so much more protein and fibre to keep you full! Popcorn is another good crunchy snack :smile:

    Veggie sticks are another easy one if you chop up a whole bunch on Sunday night and keep them in the fridge to grab and go. I like dipping them in hummus or cottage cheese.

    Another favourite for me is individual sized tins of tuna. I either put it on crispbread or just eat it straight out of the tin (especially if it's a flavoured one!) Sometimes I mix it with some mashed avocado -- YUM.

    And I also recently tried beef jerky for the first time and am thinking I'll definitely be snacking on it more often! Maybe eat in moderation if you're watching your sodium, though.
