There is a lot of other info on the site. My friend turned me onto it and I"m loving it. There are plenty of quick high protein breakfast ideas. Egg muffins and the pumpkin protein pancakes are fantastic! Hope the link posts so you can all enjoy:happy:

Pre mix your own oatmeal. This is what I do (especially for camping):

1/2 c oatmeal
2 T milk powder
1 t brown sugar (stevia next time)
1/4 c raisins, prunes or dried cranberries
a shake of cinnamon

Add 1 cup boiling water and it practically cooks itself. Or you can micrwave it. At home I use frozen berries instead of dried fruits, and add a tablespoon of peanut butter.

These days (low carb efforts), I have protein shake powder. Take 1-2 times a day. I have two brands, "Live Well" from Carrie Daenell in Denver, a naturopath. Isagenix, a national brand (MLM), a little cheaper. About 240 cals with 25ish grams of protein. So how easy is that? Just add water and shake. Both fill me up for several hours and are not too sweet.

Maybe smoked salmon, cream cheese on wholegrain bread?
Or sometimes I just quickly mix myself up a peanut butter, strawberry & protein powder smoothie.
Otherwise maybe buy some natural yoghurt and nuts?

For my boyfriend, I will stack a piece of sprouted grain sandwich bread with a fat slice of ham/turkey and a slice of cheese. In the morning, I unwrap it from the foil and place it in the toaster oven for 7 minutes on toast. It's great for him as it's lower in carbs and satisfies him for a long time.
My quick breakfast of choice? Homemade americano

One thing I've been liking lately is breakfast egg rolls.

I scramble some eggs, then put the eggs in with a little cheese and roasted red peppers in an egg roll wrapper. I cook them ahead of time and just heat them up when I'm ready to eat. They are delicious. Last batch I made 8 with three eggs. It came out to 113 cal. an egg roll.

Gonna make these tonight!!

i hope you enjoy! they are quite delicious! i've been on an egg roll kick lately!

Using a muffin pan, make mini omelets on Sunday night. In each muffin hole, add an egg (mix well), low fat cheese, and some veggies. Bake them until cooked, let them cool, then put them i the fridge. Then you can pull one or two of them out each morning for breakfast to go.

This. Right here. Expert advice, and good for anyone - low carb, paleo, or not.

Saffron pear baked oatmeal. You can make it over the weekend and take a slice in the morning throughout the week.

Wonderful ideas! I've been trying to stick to hardboiled eggs and oatmeal but have been falling into my old full-on bagel and cream cheese trap. Really needed some new ideas. I'm going to try the egg cupcakes/mini-quiches for sure.

Thanks everyone!

I made veggie muffins on the weekend and just had one for a morning snack.
They had grated zucchini, carrot, apple, wholemeal flour, unflavoured protein powder, eggs, 1/12 cup cheese... ummmm can't remember what else but they are pretty yummy and under 100 cals each. Two of those, an apple and a coffee would be a good brekky.

I bring several things of chobani greek yogurt and a box of Go Lean Crunch with me at the beginning of the week. Then I have a yogurt and I put Go Lean Crunch in it. It is really good. I have my husband eating it now too.

Great ideas!

I am new to this and looking for great breakfast ideas. However, it must be eggfree or minimal eggdue to a slight allergy to eggs. Any suggestions are welcome!

I am always thinking about scrambling some egg whites the night before for the next morning at work. Do eggs/egg whites reheat well if stored overnight? And if so, how long do they last? Could I make enough for a couple mornings?

A friend told me about this except she put a piece of ham (or she said I could use turkey breast) and shape it into the form of the muffin hole, add the egg or egg whites, low fat cheese and anything else you want and bake. I will have to try this!

Atkins makes some meal replacement bars, usually range between 150 to 240 calories, good source of protein and fiber. They keep you pretty full. Low in sugar as well. The ones with the red on the box are the ones that are higher in calories and protein. They are pretty filling. They can be found in every grocery store that I have been to. Usually either in the granola bar aisle or if your grocery store has a pharmacy area in with the dietic foods.

I love the sandwich idea. Curious how they cook up though, microwave?

I sometimes do the slow cooker steel cut oats, make a batch Sunday night and bring a cup everyday to work to eat at my desk.

Or i do the spice muffins someone posted here once (recipe below). I bring 2 of them to eat at my desk (94 cals each). I freeze them and take 2 out of the freezer the night before. I always bring a hard boiled egg for the protein.

Spice cake breakfast bars:

Take just a general cake mix (preferably spice), mix in 1 cup of pineapple tidbits, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup raisins and 1/4 cup shredded carrots and add 2 cups of dry powdered milk to the dry mix, add the water that the box calls for and bake. You will come up with a dense breakfast bar that not only is a grab and go item, but has one serving of fruit & vegetables in in, along with the nutritional value of one 8 oz serving of milk.

Change out adding coconut, chocolate chips, M&M's and other goodies for a sweetness and crunch change.

* Do not add anything the cake mix calls for, just the ingredients above.

one of my friends used to do this. She would add spinach and cheese - they smelled awesome. I always envied
her on those day.

I love to have a Lara Bar for breakfast, but I'm going to try the spice cake breakfast bars! If I'm not having a Lara Bar, it's greek yogurt or a healthy cereal with skim milk.

These are some great ideas....

I don't buy mine from the grocery story, but my favorite go-to on-the-go breakfast is these homemade breakfast pockets.

I base my recipe on this and then just make a batch or two and freeze them. Then, in the morning, I throw them in when I turn the oven on to 350º, and then when I'm ready to walk out the door 30 minutes later, they're perfect to grab and go.

http://www.budgetgourmetmom.com/breakfast-pockets/

For dough I sub applesauce for the oil and up to half the flour for whole wheat.
In the filling I use low fat turkey ham or whatever I have on hand, egg beaters, and extra veggies (spinach and mushrooms are a favorite)!

I think they're great and keep me full all day (and come in really cheap at approx $1-$1.30 a pocket depending on if you add extra meat or not!)

This looked so yummy that I entered it in to MFP as a recipe so I could check out the calories. I entered it exactly as originally written and it came out as 377 calories a pocket - not bad at all! A few substitutes would probably lower this number, esp switching out the sausage for a lower calorie meat or more veggies. I'm going to try these (-:

I've never been a "breakfast person" (lazy + I always need that "extra 5 minutes")... but after looking at the suggestions on this thread.... I might be a convert! Especially those egg muffins. Makes me hungry. Thank goodness it's just another 1/2 hr to lunch break! :laugh:

He's got a toaster oven at work. I suggest toasting it in a toaster oven if you have and reheating in a microwave. Or (so wasteful on energy though) using broil on your oven.

sarammorgan

Going to have to try some of these!
