Breakfast ideas for a person that doesnt eat breakfast.

alishastradtman

I need some good ideas for quick healthy breakfasts. I really am not a morning person and have a very hard time forcing myself to eat somthing that early. I have two kids one 5 and one 14 months old that I have to get ready, feed them breakfast, brush their teeth and get myself ready and out the door we go.....all before 7:30 AM. I've tried the nutrigrain bars(which my kids love) but they are too sweet for me in the morning. I have a problem with my stomach hurting after I eat that early. I guess I am just looking for healthy ideas on quick breakfasts on the go that I can eat on my way to school in the morning that wont gove me the "I'm so full Im going to vomit" feeling.

Thanks guys!

If you're not up for actually 'eating' in the morning, how about a smoothie or protein shake? Something with some calories and nutrition that might not feel so heavy to you like solid food first thing in the morning. Or something like some cottage cheese and fruit. Something light.

I like greek yogurt!

I usually don't eat before 9 or so in the morning. This means I tend to have a mid-morning snack at work instead of breakfast. I tend to get sick if I eat too early.

Shake, Egg WHites and Fruit = 500 cals for me.

Have you tried the Kashi TLC chewy granola bars? The almond flax and peanut butter bars are much less sweet than any other bars I've tried.

Protein shakes are what I do.....Tons of different options with them :flowerforyou:

These are what I'd recommend as well!

If sweet is what you don't want try for something like a potato stir fry - cook the potato the night before and cut it up, then just toss in a pan with some mushrooms and veggies and warm up (you can wrap it as well if you want or just eat straight up).

Other quick options a bagel with cream cheese or an english muffin with jam or a piece of toast with peanut butter...

Smoothies, as suggested, are great if you can't handle the "solid food" feeling that early and kids love them too! And they are really quick to make if you have the ingredients on hand and a tested recipe ready.

If nothing else, try a big glass of milk or juice in the morning, just to get something into you and then bring snacks for later in the day.

I have a shake for breakfast. The one I have has vitamins, minerals and all the good stuff I need for the day. I usually add stuff like peanut butter if I have the chocolate or OJ and fruiit if I have the other flavor.

It is easy and fills me up. You have to eat so make sure you do

Slice up an apple - melt a TBS of peanut butter in the microwave. Dip apple and enjoy.

Hard boiled eggs

Pure protien bar - 20 grams of protein 200 cals 2 grams of sugar. Love'em

i haaaaaate eating breakfast. But i make myself consume something. Sometimes a smoothie (yogurt, oj, fruit -- pop in a blender and turn it on until the kids are finished with theirs, pour it in a to-go cup (i use a reusable tumbler) and drink on your way to work) sometimes I have instant oatmeal because it's not too sweet and it's just a small portion so it doesnt upset my tummy, also sometimes a fiber one bar. They can be sweet but not nutrigrain bar sweet (and they can cure your chocolate cravings!)

I'm not a breakfast person but I realize I need to eat something so I have started making plain oatmeal then add raisins and craisins (maybe 6pcs of each - total calories 166 or so) and it fills me up til lunch. The upside is I can make it at work and its easily transportable.

I have to eat breakfast, or I nearly starve before lunch. I have a high metabolism, anyhow. If I don't have time for anything else, I grab an apple or a banana, takes about 30 seconds to shove in my face hole, grab my keys and go. Real fruit doesn't tend to be as sweet as "fruit" bars. If I have more time, I like eggs, bacon, sausage, ham. Breakfast is my favorite.

if you aren't hungry and you have to "force" yourself to eat breakfast, why eat it at all? eating breakfast is a personal preference and not necessary for weight loss or health

yterzis

Kashi TLC bars are great. You can buy them at costco for a good price and have something to always jump start your metabolism!

mamamia05

I know you said sweet things are not appealing but can a bananna or apple work..a greek yogurt maybe..I know a friend who eats leftover dinner protein and she swears it helps her get thru the am without feeling sick..trial and error. Protein shakes/bars may work once you find one you like..good luck hun!

How about not eating? What is the benefit of forcing yourself to eat?

I have a really hard time consuming 1200 calories a day because of being so busy. Which in turn really does make my body go into starvation mode and makes it impossable for me to loose weight. So I have been eating six small healthy meals a day and the weight has fallen off(lets hope it keeps dong that). So essentually I am trying to add calories.

Doesn't it take more time to prepare and eat six meals?

add calorically dense foods;

nuts
nut butters
full fat dairy
advocados
pasta
ice cream
etc

Natural PB on a slice of wheat bread/toast. There are a lot of PB options out there that won't be too sweet.

Or you could make a batch of trail mix ahead of time, bag it into individual servings -- then just grab a bag on your way out the door. You can make it as sweet or savory as you want.

i only eat breakfast because i've been told it starts ur metabolism up because i don't like eating breakfast

for me it's something simple...i take a cup of yogurt with me to work & keep a bag of bran buds in my desk drawer.
grab an apple or baggie of strawberries (already measured out after u buy them)
even just a special K20 water additive for the fiber
i also used to cut up fruits & have them ready to blend in the morning with some spinach & ice. delish!

This is done the night before. Really I added this because breakfast does make me sick. But I really need to eat breakfast to boost my metabalism, and was looking for ideas. I wish I could just not eat it but really feel I need to for energy.

Mix a vanilla protien shake in with your coffee.

But you don't. There have been many studies showing that it doesn't matter when you eat. Theoretically you could eat all your calories in one big meal. Skip breakfast if you want.

This is a great idea! Thanks. All of these are good but I love this one.
