    If you've got access to a blender, a protein smoothie is always good. Cup skim milk, scoop protein, berries/banana or whatever fruit you'd like, 1/4 cup of oats ( or leave these out if you'd rather), yoghurt optional. Just blend up til smooth. I put it into a shaker and drink on way to work, for those days I'm a little more rushed.

    Regular oatmeal only takes 3 minutes in a microwave.

    Yogurt, cottage cheese, fruit, protein shakes, nuts.

    I like to switch up my oatmeal by adding different things to it. Chocolate protein, and peanut butter, one day; Peaches, cinnamon, and walnuts another; cherries, and cinnamon; applesauce, cottage cheese, and cinnamon; etc.

    Kashi cereal isn't too bad, or Bran flakes.

    Personally, I like to make a bunch of high protein waffles, then freeze them to put in the toaster, later. Nutrigrain waffles are a little higher in fiber, and health benefits than regular Eggos.

    Wasn't implying that you didn't know how to... I meant do you have access to...

    3 tbsp of PB2
    1 Light string cheese

    I've never tried it, but from what I understand, It is a lower calorie alternative to peanut butter.

    Personally I like to use natural peanut butter to help me get my "healthy fats" in.

    oatmeal is a very high glycemic food & spikes your blood sugar so I'd shy away from it. I do 1 cup Fage yogurt & frozen berries from Costco with a few tablespoons of Flax seed meal (omega 3 & fiber) with some cream (or milk I suppose) & a sprinkle of raw turbino sugar. this keeps me full til lunch.

    hard boiled eggs. if you aren't watching carbs, I take a frozen sausage patty with a slice of cheese on a high fiber english muffin.

    and I do protein shakes with a slew of flax seed meal.

    Pb2 is low cal powder peanut butter. I like it and think it's delicious but nutritonally pointless. It cuts out most fat, which is the whole point of peanut butter.

    The articles I've read state the opposite. Oatmeal is at 55 on the glycemic index. I believe that to be in the medium range.

    Unless you are diabetic, the GI of food holds no real relevance. This doesn't measure nutritional value.
