Hotel Breakfast

I travel for work, so I basically live out of a hotel five days a week. I've found that I'm most successful with weight loss when I've got my food down to a routine (choose from a couple of lunches every day, same daily snacks, etc.). One of my biggest downfalls is breakfast. While the hotel I stay at offers a free breakfast, the variety is pretty limited (especially healthy choices).

Does anybody have good suggestions for a healthy, protein-y, easy-to-prepare breakfast that's 400 calories or less?

    For years I travelled because of my job and so this was a frequent problem....until I discovered that it is quite alright to throw away the menu. I would walk in, ask for half a grapefruit, one soft poached egg and one slice of multigrain toast. And I would get it every time though that was not a combination that was on the menu.

    I wish that was the case, but I'm just working with a meager breakfast buffet :) If I could have a made-to-order breakfast every day, that would be great!

    I'm also trying to get out the door as soon as possible, which puts another limitation on my morning...

    What I eat at home usually works while traveling. A piece of whole wheat toast with a tablespoon of peanut butter and some fruit. Sometimes I also drink a glass of milk. If your next snack or lunch is a long way off you can double or add another half slice of the toast and peanut butter. If you don't like peanut butter, you could use a little cheese. If they have avocado a slice of whole wheat bread with cheese and avocado is great and healthy. And believe it or not, but a slice of bacon isn't that bad (and I find it quite satisfying). I'm not suggesting you eat all of this stuff but some combination should be high protein and satisfying. If I do just fruit without fat or protein I'm hungry again before I get out the door.

    If you stay somewhere with hot water/coffee maker, think about all-natural instant oatmeal with add ins, like nuts and dried berries. You can bring that with you and make it in the room. Natural yogurt is a good thing to pick up, too, if possible.

    Thanks to all of you for the ideas! I eat breakfast around 6:30 am and usually can't get lunch until noon or later, so I try to fit in a snack if possible. I just need to pick something I like and make it a routine.
