I used to take oatmeal to make. But now I'm hungry when I get up so I don't wait.0

if you have a microwave, nuke some eggs. I prepare 2 eggs, half a bell pepper, 1 stick of pepperoni and 1 slice of soy cheese. When I get to work I throw it in the microwave for a few minutes and TADA! Or you can pre-make veggie wraps. And you don't necessarily have to have breakfast foods for breakfast. Make a sandwich, or have a salad0

Nature's Path organic instant oatmeal packets. Oats, sugar, salt. That's it. Tastes amazing!
Edit: My point was it's lower in sugar than some of the other options out there, but still tastes good. If you're not into all-natural/organic options, Quaker weight control oatmeals taste nice and contain protein. Downside is fake sugar.
There's always Chobani too.0 -
yogurt, fruit, English muffin with peanut or almond butter, oatmeal packets0

Fage 0% Total yogurt keeps me full for several hours, if you like it, maybe have that a couple of times a week.
Sometimes I slice up an apple the night before and take it with me, I know a lot of people enjoy peanut or almond butter with their apple slices, but I like mine plain.0 -
plain greek yogurt mixed with chopped fruit and/or nuts0

I keep Quaker Instant Weight Control Oatmeal at my desk. I use the hot water dispenser when I'm ready and it works just fine.0

They're not the healthiest option, but I always keep a box of instant oatmeal packets in my desk.0

Boiled eggs. Super easy to transport and you can pre-cook them and grab them out of the fridge on the go. Protein packed too!0
-
I usually bring a couple boiled eggs to eat at 8am, quick and easy and keeps me full until my 10a snack0

My personal favorite is some greek yogurt with a sitck of string cheese and maybe a small fruit like a clementine. I come into work at 7 and don't eat until 830/9 so i understand!0

It all depends on what kitchen equipment you have to work with. I eat a scrambled egg (scrambled in the microwave) and one piece of honey wheat toast (toaster) with a pat of butter. 176 calories. Very satisfying. Also if you have a refrigerator, bring in some Special K cereal and low fat milk (I use 2%).0

I'm doing IF now so I don't eat breakfast, but I also used to do a slice of ezekiel toast spread with a wedge of laughing cow cheese, topped with microwaved egg whites. i would make it at home, then wrap in foil and eat about an hour after i got to work.0

Muesli Fusion Pure. Can be served hot or cold. I cook it in the microwave. Low fat. 100% whole grain. I like the berry one. Provides protein too.0

I keep Plain (no sugar or flavor) oatmeal packets in my desk, along with a small jar of peanut butter and packets of sugar free hot chocolate. I mix the oatmeal with the required water, add about 1/3 package of the hot chocolate and add 1TBS of PB. follow microwave directions to heat. It's a yummy peanut butter/chocolate breakfast and stays with me all morning.
By keeping all this stuff in my desk I never have to think about it until they are gone....
About 220 calories depending how much hot choc and pb you use.0 -

Actually the organic ones from Trader Joe's and Whole Foods are lower in sugar and tasty. And filling.0 -
I'll usually scramble some eggs in the microwave and eat that with some turkey sausage links. Or I have an egg and one slice of whole wheat buttered toast.0

I cook two eggs in a lunch box.
Beat the eggs and layer the bottom of the box with the liquid. Sprinkle in 5g of grated cheese - low sat fat - a chopped mushroom, couple slices of ham, and nuke for a couple of minutes.
Make sure it's thoroughly cooked. Chop up with a sharp knife, leave to cool, put the lid on and take to work with you0 -
greek yogurt + granola
fruit
low carb wrap or tortilla with pb, granola, strawberries and bananas
oatmeal (I leave a big tube in my cube)
hard boiled eggs
egg beaters - microwave them with cheese and sliced veggies
smoothie in a blender bottle
english muffin and pb0 -
I always keep a stash of Coach's steel cut oats, coconut sugar, flax seeds, chia seeds, cinnamon and pumpkin pie spices, raw almonds, raisins and a bottle of vanilla extract in my desk at work. That's enough stuff for me to make different oatmeal combinations. I even make a snickers bar oatmeal where I add a tablespoon of Bettern' Peanut Butter and 2 teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to my oatmeal. It looks gross, but tastes like a Snickers bar.
I also keep a bag of Sun Warrior Warrior Blend protein powder so I can make my own protein shake by adding fresh fruit and some almond milk or just plain water when I get hungry for breakfast.
I've even brought egg whites, chopped tomatoes, and baby spinach leaves and microwave an egg white omelette.0
