    Try not to limit yourself to "breakfast" items for your first meal of the day. I bake a veggie burger with cheese or 1/2 cup of beans with seasoning and maybe some veggie cheese. V-8 juice with cottage cheese or a 1/2 grilled cheese. Actually I put the sandwich in the oven and melt the cheese and toast the mini bagel all at once. Hummus and vegetable wrapped in leaf lettuce also work well for a qick breakfast. Wishing you blue skies...................

    i eat alot of eggs but if you're in a hurry and can't make them you could try eating quest protein bars, they are filling and have very little sugar and alot of protein. I would suggest the strawberry cheesecake one for a first try.
    I love the idea of the quest bars because they have such great stats, but be warned, they can cause some serious tummy troubles!!! I normally don't have a problem with sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners or whatever, but man did these things get to me!! I can't even think about these bars without getting a headache and feeling nauseous :sick: bleeeeggghhh

    make an egg frittata, cut in individual servings, freeze. thaw the night before, nuke and go. A warm breakfast keeps you feeling fuller, longer. plain instant oats with a little something added is also healthy. When my kids were in elementary school, I'd nuke the water and it took 3 minutes to make it.

    Anything besides eggs or some meat product in the morning for protein? I'm not a vegetarian, but sometimes I get tired of eggs, bacon, sausage and the like. I realize the importance of protein in the morning.

    I posted a recipe today for Greek yogurt protein panckakes, single serving. They are terrific, and carry 40 grams of protein.
