To create a quick breakfast, keep a few key ingredients on hand. The best
breakfast contains a whole grain/fruit or vegetable-based carbohydrate to
provide a quick burst of energy to your body after "fasting" overnight, plus a lowfat
protein source to help make you feel full longer. Some carbohydrates, like
milk products, do double duty and provide the protein too.
• Whole grain waffle with peanut butter
• Leftover baked potato with low fat cottage cheese or low fat cheddar and
salsa
• Apple, slice of cheese and handful of walnuts
• Whole grain English muffin with ricotta cheese, tomatoes, drizzle of olive
oil, salt and pepper
• Fruit smoothie with milk, frozen berries and carnation instant breakfast or
scoop of protein powder
• Skip the sugary cereal bar and go for an energy bar with 3-5 grams of fiber,
10 grams of protein and less than 200 calories
• Scrambled or sliced boiled eggs in whole wheat tortilla with a slice of
cheese and salsa
• Low fat yogurt with dried fruit and whole grain cereal
• Sandwich with lean meat, tomatoes and lettuce or a BLT with Turkey
bacon
• If you do eat fast food breakfast bring an orange or banana to accompany
the meal. Some fast food choices McDonald’s yogurt fruit parfait, Egg
sandwich with Canadian bacon, skip the cheese and for more of a calorie
savor take off the top muffin, pancakes but skip the syrup and add yogurt
or milk.

    This morning I did 1 egg + egg beater, 2 slices of turkey bacon, & 2T of pepperjack cheese inside of 1/2 a whole wheat pita w/ a cup of coffee.

    A little higher in calories than I would normally do but it was so yummy!
