    campuschef, your breakfast bar sounds pretty good. How many bars does each batch make?

    Folks c’mon. It takes maybe 15 minutes total to scramble some eggs and eat them. Then grab a bag of almonds on your way out the door for the car ride to work. Making excuses doesn’t get the job done. All I’m seeing is excuses in this thread. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day if you plan on losing weight. Period.

    First you're wrong. Breakfast isn't any more or less important than lunch, dinner, or whatever snacks you might have throughout the day.

    Second, people are trying to find things that are fast to meet their schedule. That's not an excuse, that's an attempt to come up with a way to get healthy nutrition in when they're in a rush (maybe because they leave early and don't get home until late, and that 15 minutes to scramble eggs would be better used from a weight loss perspective getting a final cycle in their sleep).


    I am currently looking into a microwaved omelet on a whole wheat tortilla with fat free sour cream, salsa, and a little bit of shredded cheese. I think I can get this done using only a glass bowl and a spoon and it shouldn't take more than 6 minutes start to finish to make.

    Sounds Good! Should I use liners or do they hold together pretty well? Thanks for sharing!

    Recently I've been grabbing either Luna Bars or Cliff Bars (the Cliff Bars are more filling), and just drink with water, it isn't much but it's something to put in your system.

    No I'm not wrong first of all. That is my opinion and you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but many nutritional experts agree that breakfast sets the tone for the rest of your day. I weigh exactly what I weighed in college 14 years ago. Apparently there is some truth to my opinion. From my experiences, a bad breakfast leads to a bad day of dieting overall. And waking 15-20 mintues earlier will not have an effect on your sleep cycles. If it does, get to bed 15-20 minutes earlier. Excuses (and they are excuses) and cutting corners are why people FAIL at dieting. Time doesn't make itself. You have to make the time. Not everything will perfectly fit your schedule but you have to make adjustments, dedicate yourself and be willing to sacrifice 15-20 minutes of sleep.

    I like to make up egg sandwiches on bagels, English muffins, or biscuits and heat them up before I go. A slice of low-fat cheese, some ham, spinach, and tomato rounds it out.

    Oatmeal with fruit and a splash of milk is always a quick and filling meal.

    Homemade blueberry scones (made with skim milk) and a piece of fruit is a good one, too.

    I love to make this super simple breakfast for me and my son, who is 7.

    2 eggs, beaten(I make one egg for my son, two for me)
    fresh ground pepper to taste
    2 slices Sara Lee Delightful wheat bread
    1 slice Great Value Deluxe American


    Pour egg into a skillet that has been sprayed with Pam. let the egg set up like an omelet, fold into quarters. Toast bread while egg is cooking. place folded egg on toast, place cheese on egg.

    My son requests one every morning. :) I am planning on adding veggies(peppers, onions, etc) when I get groceries on Monday.
