Any ideas for breakfast to eat while I drive to work ?? I leave for work at 5:15 in the morning so getting up any earlier is not an option. Thanks !

    For a tad over 200 Cal, Weight Watchers Smart Ones has english muffin sandwiches with/out turkey sausage(yum). Just pop it in the microwave while you finish getting ready to leave

    I hear you on the early mornings! I leave at 5:30 most mornings. My breakfasts of choice: breakfast sandwiches (english muffin, egg, cheese, sausage -- which you can actually make in advance and freeze, then reheat in the morning, or just buy already frozen ones), homemade muffins, and lately I've been eating waffles that i pop in the toaster and then spread with peanut butter.

    Svelte makes these protein shakes that are amazing and really filling. They come in little cartons ready to drink. Cappaccino is my favorite, but they also make Chai, Chocolate & Vanilla flavors.

    I also think Greek yogurt and granola can be done in the car if you just stick your face in it and eat it with your tongue. You'll never have to take both hands off the wheel.

    My favorite is peanut butter (1 Tbls), honey (1 Tbls) mixed up, then make a sandwich using the 40 cal/slice bread. That and a bottle of water. Quick, filling and not messy, either!! :drinker: ETA Only 235 calories.

    Almost any kind of sandwich. It's perfectly ok to have "dinner" stuff for breakfast. You can make it the night before and keep in the fridge. Wash some fruit while you're at it. An apple is easy to eat in the car..no juice dripping on your shirt. lol. Or cut up melon the night before and put it ina baggie or plastic container....you can eat that with your fingers. If you like milk, take that too. Use a water bottle or any kind of container that it the right size.

    Do you have the option of eating once you get to work? Taking your breakfast and heating it up once you arrive? I see a lot of this @ my office even though these people come in @ 8 a.m. I'm not sure how long of a drive you have or what your workplace situation is. ex. we have refigerators and microwaves @ work.

    1) Hot coffee mixed with a scoop of protein powder. Tastes just like a latte but I get my protein.
    2) Cheese chunks and apple slices
    3) Go Raw bar with PB on it
    4) Chobani and fruit with flax

    Tried the yogurt, fruit and cereal combo once. Ended up having to wipe down the dash after braking hard. Also have had to search the floor for my apple. Breakfast in the car has been a big fail for me, too distracting! Lol

    Try mixing everything together and then make popsicles with it. Can have your yoghurt and drive time too!

    I travel 500+ miles a week for work, so a lot of my meals are car based.

    I usually have the following for breakfast in the car:

    A cup of coffee everyday.

    A container full of dry cereal with a bottle full of soy milk. Or...

    Yogurt (my morning drive is all open highway with little traffic, so it's actually easy to eat yogurt). Or...

    Bagel with cream cheese and a bottle of soymilk. Or...

    A homemade protein shake.

    Hardboil two eggs, make a small sandwich and grab a banana the night before. You can warm up the eggs in the microwave for 15 seconds and eat all items on your way to work! They're easy and they don't fall all over the place.

    I eat breakfast in my car every work day, too. I take a banana (already peeled and wrapped in a paper towel) and either a protein bar or an individual-size bag of Emerald Nuts breakfast-on-the-go.

    I wouldn't suggest McDonald's every day, but I did for the last 2 days - a bacon-egg-cheese biscuit and a hash browns is 570 cals.

    I do an egg sandwich every day in my car. 2 slices of toast, then some days it's a fried egg, others it's a couple of hard boiled eggs. (I find that once I slice the hard boiled ones, they do make a bit of a mess tho).

    I also have a small cup of fruit - grapes or apple slices. The fried egg works pretty good with the sandwich. Put fry as you get dressed (if you turn off the stove when you flip the egg, you never burn it), slap the sandwich together, put it on a plate (real or strofoam, which ever) cut it into halves or even quarters and VOILA!.

    Overnight Oatmeal, Overnight Oatmeal Smoothie, Copy Cat McMuffins.

    These are my favorite options. They are make aheads and can be frozen/refridgerated and recommended to be made overnight.

    A tortilla shell (whole wheat) with a banana and peanut butter! A great start to the day. And easy to eat and drive.

    Egg White Muffins. Make them on Sunday (with whatever you want, I used spinach/turkey sausage this week) and eat all week.

    Smoothie with protein powder or "hot smoothie" soup. Both can be drank through a straw in a travel mug.
