I don't normally eat breakfast because of my work scheduled I take my lunch at 10am. What are some ideas for fast breakfast at 630am?

    How about a quick protein shake? It's not ideal, but is quick and you can modify it to your taste.

    I usually eat a greed yogurt while getting dressed, and take a small cup of granola and almonds with a cup of green tea and eat while driving.

    Have a few eggs pre-hardboiled for your breakfasts, a quick bowl of healthy cereal, and some fruit. If I'm in a really big rush then I have a slimfast meal replacement shake (I bought the powder so it can keep for a long time); I only use it maybe a couple of times a month. Oatmeal can be pretty fast too if you use quick oats and microwave it. Some thing I like to put in it are: berries, bananas, vanilla extract, peanut butter, and sugar. I usually pick a couple of these and have been trying to avoid the sugar lately.

    I'm not sure how fast we're talking here, but all of these would take less than 15 minutes.

    2 eggs, 1 tablespoon of salsa... Microwave for 1-2minutes.

    Or, you'd be amazed at how little time it takes just to make a quick omlette on the stove. I was running late this AM and made it in about 10 minutes. (everything was pre cut)

    Protein shake, Quest Bar, 35 calorie toast with peanut butter, boiled eggs.

    Sometimes when I'm in a bind, I also will open a 90 calorie pack of Carl Buddig Ham or some turkey breast and wrap it around a reduced fat sharp cheddar cheese stick and eat it with an apple.

    On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I'm too rushed to have a good breakfast, so I prep a smoothie the night before. That way, all I have to do in the morning is grab it and push it onto the blender base (I use the Nutribullet) and take off. It's convenient for me because the blender container is a handled cup, so I'm in and out in less than 2 minutes. Since that's all I get from 6am-noon, I pack them with nutrient-dense and filling foods. This morning, my smoothie was 1 cup of kale, 1 cup of spinach, half a mango, half a cup of watermelon, half a lime's juice, half a banana, coconut water, and pre-ground flax + pre-ground oats. I drink it on my way in to work and it's SO GOOD!

    Fruit fruit fruit fruit!!!!

    Apple, Banana, stem of grapes, cup of berries, peach, nectarine... not a lot of peeling or work involved in these, so I like them for FAST grab & go things if I don't have a lot of time.

    Almost always have a Larabar or Kind Bar or any one of a few others that I like in my bag just in case I need a fast bite to eat.

    yogurt cup, pita chips with hummus or guac, 100 calorie bag of popcorn - these are fast snacks i keep on hand for the office, or late night at home.

    I eat a slice of ezekiel sprouted grain bread ( http://www.foodforlife.com/about_us/ezekiel-49) with one egg. Takes maybe 5 minutes to make. I am always running late in the morning so I get it cooking while I do my makeup!!

    I'm in the same situation. My lunch is scheduled for 10:30am. This morning I had a kashi blueberry waffle and a banana. Yesterday I had a nectarine. Sometimes a slice of Ezekial Cinnamon Raisin bread or yogurt. Always something I can eat in the car. Good luck!

    I love Larabar energy or protein bars! They're around 200-250 cals and made only from whole ingredients (no added sugar, no nasty fillers, all gluten-free and most dairy-free, usually only 4-5 ingredients).

    If you have a commute that gives you time to eat on the way to work, prepare a breakfast sandwich or something the night before and take it with you. Lots of good ideas already mentioned on that front!
