SO for the next 10 weeks, one day a week I have to get to work an hour earlier than normal (and I won't be able to eat once I get to work), this means I don't have time to make and eat what I usually have for breakfast.

Any suggestions on things I can buy or prepare the night before, so all I need to do is grab it as I leave and eat in on the way to work? (I walk to work).

So far my idea is to buy bananas. I can see myself eating one on the way to work, but that won't keep me full.

What else could I do?

    Grab some easy to peel fruit, assorted nuts, dried fruits, make a smoothie the night before, try some granola/cereal bars, make your own "trail mix",

    One hard boiled egg, a low fat cheese stick, a few whole grain crackers and some grapes :)

    you could add one of those drinkable yogurts like 'iogo' with your banana or make a smoothie out of it... or perhaps bake some banana muffins

    I have early classes on Mon/Wed/Fri so I do a cup of Kashi go Lean and mix in 18 almonds. I put it in tuberware and then put in freezer (I like eating cereal cold...literally), grab it the next morning and eat on the go.

    Other things I know people do are english muffin with nut butter or pb2 with banana

    Also Greek yogurts and mix in fiber one cereal

    Or just eat a meal bar?

    And I know people swear by overnight oats. Those seem portable.

    Completely non traditional but how about a sandwich?

    Or make some oatmeal cookies. Literally, oatmeal cookies. If that offends you to your core just use less sugar. Before Christmas we lost our power for quite a while and we all laughed because someone had made oatmeal cookies (I think 2 or 3 gallon bags worth) before the outage and we were eating them for breakfast during that time.

    This is not meant to come off rudely so please don't take it that way...

    Can you not get up an hour earlier to allow yourself time to make your regular breakfast?

    I am sure some people could but I am not an early riser.
