What do you eat for breakfast while pressed for time?

MarKayDee

A slice of toast with half an avocado and a protien milk is my go to breakfast. I don't really like tradition breakfast foods and I would rather sleep a little longer than make myself a full breakfast anyway

Stripeness

Dinner leftovers, or deli turkey wrapped in a slice of swiss or lettuce leaf - whichever's handy.

While I don't believe there can actually be too many carbs in one sitting (well, maybe in a pie eating contest), it sounds like your to go meals are lacking in protein and fat, which is probably why you're hungry. Try a protein bar, or maybe cheese and crackers with fruit? A lot of people like protein shakes, but I couldn't have one for breakfast.

Hard boiling a few eggs and having them waiting in the fridge is a quick and easy breakfast.

banana. and sometimes banana and nut butter

that's what I do, but sometimes I just poach them if I'm on a hurry

dannibefit

Make overnight oatmeal the previous evening and add whey protein.. I couldn't go without it!

Paindoesnthurt

Dannibefit I do that too! oat groats put in a thermos with boiling hot water and the next morning it's done! frigging awesome. Blue berries and nuts to go with it and if you wanted it sweet raw honey, and if you liked chocolate, cacao butter. delicious

I also keep hard boiled eggs on hand, raw almonds, string cheese, and 100% veggie juice too.

I make refrigerator overnight oats the night before. I make them in a small mason jar so if I must I can eat them in my car.

Base = 1/4 C rolled oats, 1/3 C Milk, 1/4 C Greek Yogurt & 1 Tb chia seeds. from there you can add 1/4 C of Banana & 1 Tb cocoa powder OR 1/4 C apple sauce & 1/2 tea cinnamon OR 1/4 C banana &1 Tb Peanut butter OR 1/4 C berries & 1/4 tea vanilla. you can also add 1tea of sweetener of choice to any of the above combos.

Very filling & and a fair amount protein! depending on your milk and yogurt of choice you can make them for as few as 130 calories ( mine are typically around 230 though ) add some toast and run. I love em!!

Are you going over on your carbs by the end of the day?

I am loving this idea. So how do you prepare this ahead of time?

really just stir it all together until well mixed (I do so right in the jar, though that can take some practice to not make a big mess lol ) slap a lid on it and let it sit overnight. couldn't be easier!

OK thanks. Do you cook the oatmeal portion first or just mixed the dried oates and nuke in the am?

I go to Dunkin Donuts and get an egg white turkey sausage flatbread sandwich without cheese. Pressed for time, to me, means eating in my car as I'm driving to work, lol

I spend a little bit of time each Sunday evening preparing my meals for the week. For breakfasts I pour egg whites into a muffin pan and bake them, topping each with a tablespoon or two of park skim mozzarella when they are near done. I then toast some whole grain english muffins, and pop one of the egg white "muffins" into an english muffin with a little mustard. Then I throw them all in the fridge! So easy to grab on your way out the door and very filling! I usually have one with a single serve fat-free greek yogurt and maybe a little fruit if I feel like it.

And coffee. Lots of coffee.

1/3 cup quick oats, 2/3 cup water with 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract stirred in, microwave for a minute and a half, stir in a spoonful of jam and add some milk. Delicious, fast and easy and it fills you until lunch.

Wake up early enough to reward yourself with a great breakfast. This is the foundation of your ENTIRE day!

When i'm running for the train at 5.30 it's a handful of nuts (brazils and almonds), a big glass of water and an espresso. Takes about a minute while i finish getting dressed... It just gets me through to lunch, although I'm watching the minutes count down from about 11.30!
