Breakfast Suggestions requested

I'm struggling with what to eat for breakfast and looking for advise/suggestions. Generally, I eat my breakfast at my desk when I get to work. I can't eat eggs. I try to keep breakfast under 300 calories and have to have coffee with creamer in the total. For the longest time I have been having greek yogurt with fresh fruit and granola, but that is getting boring.
Thanks,
Thanks,

During the work week I eat a 6oz container of Carbmaster yogurt and a Weight Watchers string cheese....boring but it works for me!0

When I was working, I ate a lot of oameal...boring, but it works. Another suggestion...yogurt, or an english muffin...or slim fast. I like to monitor what my friends are eating...a great place to get some ideas.0

I usually do the yogurt, fresh fruit and granola also. I keep a big container at work so I'll never have an excuse not to eat. However, today I'm having corned beef hash. Not too bad and I it's something that I enjoy and is quick to throw in the microwave.0

Do you have to have creamer?0

Quaker has a Weight Management oatmeal that I LOVE. It's easy to just have at work - it's high in protein and I don't have to worry about prepping food for breakfast the previous day. It's about 180 calorie/packet, so it's way under your 300 calorie/meal.0

Quaker Multi Grain hot cereal with fresh blueberries or raspberries and silk.0
-
Oat bran with skimmed milk and a bit of sweetener and cinnamon.
Much better than porridge in terms of protein and fibre content. And I prefer the taste too!0 -
Does it have to be breakfasty? I had a quinoa and tuna salad for my breakfast at my desk this morning - super nom - filling but felt really healthy0

Special K meal replacement ...170 calories
Quaker fruit and cream oatmeal (comes in several flavors...peaches & strawberries are my personal favorites): 130 calories when prepared with water.0 -
Shredded wheat + semi skimmed milk + raisins = win0

Feel free to look through my dairy. I often eat at my desk and I too want to keep breakfast under 300 with drinking my coffee and I have to have creamer. I end up having instant oatmeal a lot but sometimes that's not enough protein. I don't know if you have access to a microwave or hot water from a coffee maker like I do but feel free to sneak a peek.0

I have cottage cheese with some grapes mixed in. Great source of protein.0

I eat at my desk every day too... if I use the single serve creamers i think theyre only like 10-20 cals each so thats not too bad for getting my fix. As far as food, i alternate between oatmeal and yogurt, whole wheat english muffin with a smidge of lowfat peanut butter and a banana, or lunchmeat with string cheese and a few nuts.0

Put porridge oats and some raisins in a vacuum flask and add boiling water before you leave for work. When you get to work it should be ready to eat!0

I love it to, I like mine made with almond milk for he calcium boost0 -
I made some mini spniach quiches yesterday for the week. Lots of veggies and protien - 246 calories. I only live a couple minutes from work so I warmed it up and ate it as soon as I got to work. Could "nuke" it too. It kept me full until lunch! Eggs, spinach, peppers, onion, low fat cottage cheese, 2% cheddar cheese. YUM0

I come from a culture that has a saying 'Eat your breakfast yourself, share your lunch with your friend, give your dinner to your enemy' :-) I believe there is a similar saying in English too.
I really do have quite a hearty breakfasts: a few rye crackers with hummus and tomato/bell pepper/rocket; low fat natural yogurt with berries (raspberries, blueberries and blackberries) and flaked almonds. And usually a lovely little piece of 70% chocolate to end it all on an extra lovely note. Yummy! It comes to 500 kcal. But I so love to start a day feeling full of energy.
My net calories come to 1200 kcal (I eat back all my exercise calories that are between 400-800 kcal daily).0 -
I read a book with a great eating regime. I have a semi-shake for breakfast. I add to my blender - 8oz. water, 6 strawberries, 1 tsp of flaxseed oil. Blend until all liquid. Lastly add 1 scoop of whey protein oil. Blend until mixed well.
Shake Calories: 2170 -
This is a great idea! Thanks:happy:0

Do you not do eggs cause you don't like them or cause you are at work? I nuke my omelet in the mornings. Two eggs, fat free cheese, spinach and mushrooms. Topped with chopped tomatoes. Love it and I get veggies in.0

Leftovers
Hard boiled eggs
I like Greek yoghurt with muesli and fruit. I vary the fruit to keep it varied
fruit and nuts
yoghurt with craisins/dried fruit and bean sprouts
drop an egg, milk, and flavoring in a blender (you can use vanilla, fruit, or instant coffee). what my mom fed us every morning - eggbeaters are pasteurized0 -
How about a smoothie?
Lately, I like 1 frozen banana, vanilla greek yogurt, milk and a little peanut peanut butter.0
