Grab and Go Breakfasts???

Hardboiled eggs are my go-to breakfast on the run. Nice balance of protein, fat, and tiny bit of carbs.

Sunday night, hard boil a weeks worth of eggs or what ever. Peel them and put them in the fidge. Each egg is about 70 calories. eat with a yogurt or toast. I like to nuke turkey sausage with it!!

This article from Runner's World has a couple ideas you can prepare the night before... or minutes before you go out the door:

http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-242-300--14077-0,00.html

There's only two options for breakfast, the rest are snacks and lunches... Might be something good!

it takes minutes to eat breakfast, especially if you prepare it the night before, i never used to have breakfast either, coz i would rather be in bed for 5 extra minutes, but if you get your low sugar cereal ready the night before all you have to do is pour some milk in and eat, takes 2mins or if you want something hot, oatso simple hot oat sachets are great, just follow the instructions and instead of waiting around the two mins its in the microwave, have your shower/ get dressed/ dry hair/ apply make up whatever whilst its cook and then (if you are like me) coooling down enough to be able to eat, eat it, brush teeth and off you go. or at least grab a piece of fruit to eat on your way, an apple, banana, clementines, anything (i don't have this luxury as i am alergic to most raw fruits although i do take clementines to university to eat as a snack in lectures, much better than the crisps and chocolate bars i used to snack on! )

I love the egg muffin ideas, I may have to try that.

I tend to just have 2 peices of toast with jelly on one and nutella or PB on the other. Or an english muffin sandwich with 1 egg and slice of Veggie Slices fake cheese. If I do a workout in the AM I'll add a protein shake or fat free milk disguised as a latte. ;-)

I prefer big breakfasts, I feel better and aren't as hungry throughout the day if I load my calories early.

Make sure you avoid as many processed grab and go breakfast foods as possible. If your goal is to live a healthy lifestyle while losing weight then try making your own food ahead of time. Dont' just pay attention to the calories but rather where the calories are coming from. Most of the prepackaged breakfast options on the market have so many preservatives that are horrible for your health. Try making oatmeal muffins, smoothies, breakfast burritios, protein bars or other yummy treats for the week. This makes it easy to stay healthy, be active and lose weight.

I love Luna bars, They run about 170 calories and I usually pair with a glass of skim milk.

Slice a banana long wise in half, spread 1-2 tbs ( I usually do 1 b/c I'm not a big pb fan) on each half, then use half a container of yoplait boston creme pie yogurt putting it on the banana, sprinkle with granola or grape nuts..but again..I love granola to much so I try not to keep it in the house and go for the grape nuts,lol.

my work oatmeal recipe:
1/2 cup of quick 1-minute Quaker oatmeal - 150 cal
hot water from water cooler's red handle - 0 cal (you could also use a microwave or maybe hot water from a coffee pot).
artificial sweetener - 0 cal
either cinnamon, maple flavoring, cocoa, french vanilla coffee creamer (or any kind) - minimal cals (20-50)

let it sit for a few minutes. that's it.

This isn't really a Grab & Go, but I do Eggs in a Mug here at work. Yum.
Going to try some of your suggestions though for sure! Yum!

henriettalady

This sounds good for the whole family. How much water and how long do you cook it?

I made a version of the "egg muffins or cups" yesterday for breakfast all this week. Just left them in the individual silicon cups, placed in ziploc bag and grabbed as I was heading out the door. 30 seconds in the microwave and they were delish!
