    I've been struggling with this too because I work out about 30 minutes after (feels like before sometimes) I wake up. Just happened to find this and it looks so good i'm trying it tomorrow. I was thinking about swapping pumpkin for the carrots though. And I would add the recipe to MFP because I don't think the calories are quite right.

    In the past I've made a batch of daal, and eat it for a week in the morning with an egg and some greek yogurt with garlic and cilantro... kind of like huevos rancheros, Indian style. Low-calorie, low-sugar, high-protein. Delicious. Especially in the winter when I crave hot, filling breakfasts (and am bored of oatmeal). It's good with chili, too.

    Also, tofu scrambles are very good! Scramble soft tofu with vegetables as you would an egg.

    I have not seen this yet. Baggies of cheese cubes and fruit cubes such as berries or melons. Choose a low glycemic fruit or just chunks o ham or sausage what ever you like that is chilled.

    there is no rule that you have to eat breakfast foods for breakfast. Grill a chicken breast the night before and just pull it out of the fridge in the morning. works for me.....course I'm a fox

    ^^^ What he said. And a can of tuna (packed in water) mixed with a little light mayo has only about 100 calories and is high in protein.... toss it on a slice of toasted Healthy Life bread (35 calories / slice) makes a great breakfast for less than 200 calories. :)

    I plan my meals and enter them into MFP for the week on Sundays. I do so much better since I have it all listed and can alter if needed. It keeps me using the tracker the way I need to. For breakfast, I make eggbeaters each night for the next morning, using salt and pepper. I either pair that with grapes (sugar) or if my sugars are too high, I make a whole wheat (Nature's Own 100% whole wheat = 50 cal per slice) toast with Bestlife butter (.5 TBSP = 25 cals). This is filling and low in fat, sugars and calories.

    Look into Irish oatmeal. You can add nuts, raisins, whatever and press it into a pan and bake it. That way you keep it in the fridge all week, and slice off a hunk each morning. Super satisfying.

    I recently made some protein oat muffins--- its ubber simple, grab and go-- if you prep ahead of time- but only takes about 15 minutes--- and they taste fantastic---

    1/2 c of dry oatmeal
    1/3 c of almond milk-(or whatever)
    3 tbs of egg whites
    1 scoop of protein -- i use elite gourmet - which has 120 cals, 21 g protein, 0 fat,and <5 carbs-- any flavor-
    and i put a pinch of baking powder-- but i dont even think that is necessary---

    mix it all up good-- spray a muffin pan-- and fill cup half way--- it made 2 for me-- i just put a bit of almond butter on them and they were ROCKING!! made some for and had leftovers once they were still great right out of the fridge!!

    here's an idea... take a red or yellow pepper - cut it across so it makes ringlets - spray fry pan with organic pam or a tad of smart balance, put in the red pepper ring, wait a couple of minutes for it to slightly soften and then crack an egg in the middle of the pepper ring - flip and voila! High protein, low fat , low sugar.

    Hi there,
    I know you said no eggs but i have the same problem as i'm vegetarian and looking towards low carb.
    Not sure if you have quorn products where you are but i use a strip of quorn bacon, chicken, tukkey (meat alternative) cheese, crack an egg in it and whack it in the oven, it changes it up a bit from the usual scrambled egg.
    At the weekends i make my own granola - using brazils, walnuts & almonds, sunflower seeds, coconut and have it with berries and greek yoghurt - yummy! bake it in the oven with cocnut oil and it's lovely.

    Quaker Steel Oats. Makes 4 servings. Easy to store in individual containers and reheat in microwave. Add cut up fresh fruit for added flavor.

    Really good ideas on here. Did anyone say Egg Muffins? Too easy.

    Grab your muffin pan, a few eggs (or egg whites) , your fav veggies (peppers, spinach, and etc), and your choice of cheese. Fill each muffin cup. Bake in the oven for about 25-30 mins and your good to go!

    Can try just drinking a carton of egg whites.

    Or Oatmeal+MIlk+protein powder+ banana on the side(dont cut it up and be fancy)
    Done in 3 minutes.
    Fiber from oatmeal
    Protons from protein 25g's +50g's of eggwhites

    and adjust to meet whatever you need.

    Or just do
    whole wheat +2 scoops peanut butter+banana inside if you want to mix flavours together.

    On time constraint, so think simple, no baking, cooking. Lots of options really.
