    While I'm pretty big on making time to prepare, and sit down and enjoy your meals- if I oversleep or something breakfast is a piece of wholemeal bread with peanut butter, wrapped around a large banana and eaten while I'm heading out.

    This I like.. good quick healthy and all the stuff I already eat!

    I know its more of a lunch thing, but sometimes I will make an egg salad sandwhich the night before. (Don't recommend slabbing it on the bread until the morning otherwise it gets soggy). If I have an extra minute or two I'll pop a piece of bacon in the microwave and throw that on there too.

    These banana 'cookies' by blogilaties!
    They have 2 ingrediants if you make them without cranberries. Make them before you go to bed, then take a couple to eat on the way :) add some nuts/nut butter to add protein/fat!

    I have posted this so much, but I'm doing it again, because it's YUMMY!!

    Make egg "muffins"!! I make 12 at a time, they last me a week in the fridge, and I either nuke them and eat them on the drive to work or nuke them at work.

    I put a slice of turkey deli meat in the bottom of a muffin tin and crack an egg in each one, then bake for 25 min at 350*F. If you like veggies in your eggs, scramble 10 eggs, add whatever veggies you like, and pour evenly into your muffin tin. I eat 2 every work-day morning! You can use whatever meat in the bottom you want, and some people put some whole wheat bread or english muffin in the bottom, too. And a sprinkle of cheese on top, if you want.
    I made these this week.. they're pretty darn tasty. They're homemade granola bars. I made mine in an 8x8 pan.. you'll look at a serving and go "WTF? No way that's filling." But I ate two for breakfast every day this week with a glass of milk and was full until lunch.

    I like to make "sausage-cheese biscuits" on Sundays to last me through the week. I use grated parmesan and Gimme Lean Soy Sausage that I lightly brown with a little canola oil and then mix into biscuit dough made from Trader Joe's Multigrain baking mix. Bake as directed and then keep them in the fridge. Stick it in the toaster oven for a few minutes, then go!

    I don't eat breakfast at a "normal" time (I do IF), but these are all things I need to look into...

    Hard boiled egg(s). I usually do one whole egg and one egg white. Less than 90 calories. Throw in a piece of fruit or a container of fat free yogurt, and you're good to go.

    I take a few extra minutes of my busy schedule to make an egg white and turkey sausage sandwich. It is filling and takes 5 minutes to prepare. Just wrap it up and take it with you.

    I do the same thing but make a veggie version.
    14 egg whites and 4 whole eggs. crack into a bowl and mix together. lightly oil the muffin tin. I put the veggies in to the muffin cups which usually includes broccoli, spinach, red bell pepper and a sprinkle of fat free feta. Pour the egg mixture of the veggies and bake at 400*F for 15 minutes and Then let cool.
    I put them in a bag and leave them in the fridge at work. I eat 2-3 a day and they are about 50 calories each muffin. Eating some right now. :)
    Oh I microwave them for a bout 1 minute when I'm ready to eat.

    Boil eggwhites the night before

    A protein shake literally takes 5 minutes to make - whey, banana, peanutbutter, ice

    Oatmeal w/ whey

    Stop making excuses. If you want to see results you're gonna have to put some work in

    These are my grab n' go options:

    1. Eggo 100% Whole Wheat Waffle with little bit of Peanut Butter or Nutella on top!
    2. Breakfast Lean Pockets (there are 2 types, the ones in the box which are 260+ calories, OR Walmart has smaller individually packaged ones that are only 180 calories)
    3. These aren't that "healthy" per say, but I like the new Special K Pastry Crisps (Specifically the Brown Sugar Cinnamon ones - taste like a pop tart, but only 100 calories)
    4. Bananas

    I boil one egg, and also eat a Special K Bar. The bars are only 90 calories. They are great for when you have to get out the door fast and do not have time to eat.

    Thankyou for posting this recipe! I think I might make these on Sunday and have them ready to go for the week.
    Maybe my hubby will even eat them and then I won't have to clean up his dishes after he makes his egg breakfast every morning! I hate cleaning pots and pans!!

    My go-to breakfasts on a work day:

    a Slim Fast 321 protein shake
    a packet of oatmeal that i make at work and eat at my desk
    bel vita crisps--lots of whole grain/fiber and fills me up until my late morning snack time

    also...sometimes i make a bunch of silver dollar pancakes--there really isnt all that much to them calorie wise and 3 of those with a little bit of lite or sugar free syrup is good enough for me. or with some fresh berries!

    a couple Babybel cheese rounds. Good protein.

    I had one babybel and a nutri grain bar before my workout this morning. They really help you when you are starting to get hungry.
