    If you need something quick in the morning, Quest bars are a good choice. They are well rounded with good carbs and protein, not to mention their outstanding fiber content. You can pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds and they are heaven! And they keep you full longer than any meal bar I have ever had!

    ^ This.

    Also, freeze ziploc bags with smoothie ingredients in them. Pop them in the blender in the morning and you're good to go!

    Or grab a handful of nuts!
    ^That sounds dirty, but you get the idea :)

    fresh and easy has soup containers low on cal's and not so bad on sodium. They are in the kitchen to go section. About under 4 bucks, and I can get 3 lunches from one container.

    I do most of my preparation on the weekends. I eat two egg whites for breakfast with some fruit i have cut up/split up on the weekend. I also make a batch of no flour/no sugar oatmeal muffins and take two of those to work (they're only 124 calories!). I make a spinach salad at home with just spinach and cheese and then add my nuts/dried fruit/dressing at work. i often throw some chicken/tuna salad in it (made on the weekend) or a boiled egg white. super easy and super quick and much healthier than a boxed lunch!

    Non fat greek yogurt, fruit, and a whey protein shake are what i normally start my morning with, no preparation other than scooping powder into my shaker!

    Make breakfast burritos! I made 20 and froze them all and had a 3-minute breakfast prep for 2 weeks.

    Just make A LOT of scrambled eggs (add some veggies), bacon and shredder cheese... add to whole-wheat tortillas and wrap! Then wrap them all in plastic wrap and throw them in the freezer.
    I've done this several times and love them!

    My "go to" lunches for a quick pack on the way out the door with the kids so I can get to work: leftovers if I have them. If I don't have leftovers, them my "go to" is a portion of raw almonds, yogurt, and fruit.

    For breakfasts, I usually grab myself a bowl of cereal if I'm short on time. It doesn't take long to eat a bowl of cereal. If I have slightly more time, I'll make a piece of toast with some peanut butter.

    I prep food on the weekends or while I'm cooking dinner. I make a couple servings of oatmeal and let cool and separate then microwave in the AM on my way out the door to the gym. Lunches are usually leftovers from dinner, I typically make extra to take for lunch.
