I am NOT a morning person, it is a real struggle to get me up and out of bed everyday. I'm just slow in the morning. I do eat breakfast, but it's usually at my desk and it consists of some combination of fresh fruit, Chobani yogurt, whole grain toast, instant oatmeal and Fiber One bars. On the weekends I eat Fiber One Cereal or I'll make an omelette and hashbrowns.

What is your favorite weekday and weekend breakfast? I need some quick and easy breakfast ideas that I can eat at my desk at work...

Happy Friday!!! :)

    A couple of string cheese or a banana with peanut butter. I eat at my desk too, after enjoying my coffee, which wakes me up a bit.:smile:

    I eat similar breakfasts (at my desk) during the week. The only additional thing I do is that I like to hard boil some eggs on Sunday night. Then in the morning I can just grab one out of the fridge. I either eat them as is or I will slice them and put them on a piece of toast. I eat the whites and the yolks as I do not have problems with cholesterol and like the extra nutrients a yolk has. But if you aren't a yolk person you could easily discard the yolk.

    I generally have Kashi heart to heart cereal, 1/2 c of either blueberries, strawberries or a banana, and 1/4 c of 2% milk.

  • I pretty much have the same breakfast every day: a slice of bread from my bread machine (which is more like 1.5 slices of commercial bread) with 1 tbsp of peanut butter.

    A poached egg, a pear, and a cup of tea. I always need that slight protein kick first thing in the AM to hold me through until lunch.

    Eggs is the only correct answer, unless it's the occasional steak.

    They say that it is important to eat high protein breakfast within 30 minutes of waking to get your metabolism working.

    I eat eggs, bacon, cheese and vegetables every morning.

    Works for me. Keeps me full all morning.

    i will usually put mine together the day before or do it quick in the morning

    microwaved egg w/fetta cheese and spinach

    eggs, whole wheat toast + coffee

    juevos rancheros mmmm

    refried beans, eggs and whole wheat toast

    1 whole wheat pancake w/agave nectar and milk

    cereal w/ sliced strawberries, flaxseed and milk

    1/2 cup granola, fresh berries, almonds and yogurt-make into a parfait


    i usually eat all that at my desk!! most of the time i just bring an egg and put those things in the night before, then nuke the egg in the microwave or cook it a little the night before then nuke it in the morning when i'm ready to devour it.

    i'm the same way in the morning about not wanting to wake up, so again, just do it the night before!!!! it really helps you to ufnction through the next morning after you eat

    Usually it's a shake, or some bar/yogurt at my desk, but today I went all out with 1 morning star sausage patti, 1 strawberry eggo, 1 egg, toast, and a cup of fat free milk. LOL, I needed it after my first work out w/ ms. Jillian Michaels. :0

    Do you have access to a microwave? As an occasional treat, I like to get those frozen Jimmy Dean reduced fat croissants with egg white and turkey sausage. Can't have 'em all the time, because of the sodium; but every now and then, they give a nice change of pace. If they're thawed, 57 seconds at high power is about right; if not, it'll take a bit longer. For me, they're always thawed, because I take them out of the freezer the night before, when I'm packing my breakfast and lunch for the next day, so they're in the refrigerator overnight.

    Nearly everyday I eat oatmeal-the plain jane oats kind. Real exciting I know!! Somedays it's plain, somedays I add peanut butter. It goes well with my coffee and holds me over until Lunch. Easy to make and eat at my desk, so works well for me.

    Since I started working out in the am, I have eaten breakfast every morning and its great! It is a dippy egg and one slice of toast. It works for me. Keeps me full most of the morning. On the weekends, I usually cook the breakfast but don't eat it, but am trying to change that. I also enjoy some bagels and cream cheese. But the bagels I have are HUGE in calories, so I need find better ones.

    Yes, "they" certainly do.

  • Almost every morning I have a sausage and spinach omelet. The thought of cooked spinach disgusted me but was looking for a way to sneak some vegetables in so gave it a try. Now I can go without it, it is strange it almost extends the eggs and does not have the slimy texture you would think it would. See below for some delicious pictures...

    I like to make 3 scrambled eggs with a serving of Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage crumbles and a few jalapeno peppers. It sounds like a lot of work, but I make mine in less than 10 minutes and am on the road. I heat it up and eat at my desk.

    Another option is Greek Yogurt with berries (I do either strawberries or raspberries).

    Both have lots of protein and keep me full until lunch!

    Typically I'm very bad about eating breakfast, but since I keep hearing that eating something first thing in the morning helps get your metabolism going I've been giving it a try.

    I've been eating about 200-300 calories of something high in fiber (typically some whole wheat toast or English muffin with just a little bit of spread) with a cold glass of water then I nurse a large cup of coffee for the remainder of the morning.

    While I don't feel any less hungry than what is typical for me throughout the day, my weight loss does seem to be just a bit higher on weeks I do eat breakfast than those I don't.

    I eat one plain strawberry eggo waffle and a cup of coffee every single morning for breakfast. Has nothing to do with health or energy, it's just what I like. One plain strawberry eggo waffle.
  • I love breakfest!!
    I wake up hungry and must eat a mean breakfest. But i used to be more like you. i found it hard to eat in the morning. I started out eating foods like toast with apple butter and cottage cheese. basically easy foods to get me used to eating in the morning. after a while breakfest became a must. Now some of my favorite breakfest meals are egg whites with a serrano n onions, soyrizo on a corn tortilla with beans, and pb-n- j. :)

    Referring people to previous threads is only appropriate when all the answers from the new/repeated thread are likely to be the same as all the answers from the previous threads. Such as "Why eat my exercise calories?" or "What does bump mean?" or "Has anyone tried HcG?". In this instance, every single person on the planet has potential for eating different substances for breakfast and all the answers have potential for being dramatically different than from previous threads. Especially since "what is in" breakfast trends change so rapidly. So don't be a d*ck.
