I'm very bad about eating breakfast.. and I do know it's important but I'm trying to find a balance.
A. I'm a full time nursing student and also work full time, so frequently I have everything packed, and shower at night so I can literally run out the door in the morning and get ever last minute of sleep possible. So what I'm saying is convenience is important
B. It seems like when I do eat... I'm MORE hungry sooner in the day, well and all throughout the day for that matter..

SOOOOO if you have any quick and easy suggestions that keep you full and satisfied I would greatly appreciate your suggestions! :happy:

    Steak and eggs...

    I like to grill some steak the night before and chop it up into 1 Oz servings...then I just throw it in my omelette the next morning.

    I just stumbled onto what seems (for me) to be almost perfect, and about 300 calories

    Eggstirs (essentially, Publix's version of egg-beaters) - 60 calories for a half cup (a serving is .25 cup/61g)
    Publix-brand whole-grain lite English muffin - 100 calories
    Jones Farm ham slices - 1 serving (45g), 50 cal.
    Borden low-cal cheese slice - 30 (20g, I believe) cal
    Publix American cheese slice - 70 cal (20g, I believe)

    And delicious!

    Yeah, it's a bit high for sodium purposes, that I will admit. Stupid cheese slices.

    Smoothies: Make them the night before and refridgerate
    Tasty Breakfast Sammiches: English muffin, one egg (or two), (insert breakfast meat here...bacon, sausage, turkey bacon, canadian bacon), cheese. Also make the night before and heat up in morning
    Kashi Cereal: Not the best ever, but quick and semi-filling
    Greek yogurt and berries: self explanatory.

    Protein is a must. An egg, some yogurt, some cottage cheese ... whatever. But protein is a must. Today? Greek yogurt with frozen blueberries stirred in.

    I too am bad about eating breakfast and can not eat first thing in the morning so I used to just have coffee and not eat until lunch. I also pack my food the night before and found that I love Bob's Muesli or Mom's Best Plain Grain plus a tbsp. raisins soaked overnight in almond milk or almond/coconut milk eaten cold. Not mushy like cooked oatmeal and I can take it in my lunch cooler and eat it when I have a few minutes. Quick easy and keeps me full.

    You can make omelet egg muffins, there's lots of recipes online. Basically eggs and whatever fillings you like, divided into muffin tins and baked. I freeze them individually then just pop one in the microwave before I run out the door.

    Some like me skip breakfast and start later in the day. I also eat up till 11:30pm which is why I'm not hungry till after 12:00pm the next day.

    Smoothie with chia seeds and protein powder. Put it in a to go cup and you're out the door. The chia seeds expand and keep me full. You can experiment with whatever fruit or liquid (skim milk, juice ect) you like best.

    Eggs tend to keep me full up, I like to do scrambled egg with some grated cheese melted in at work in the microwave.

    If you aren't hungry in the morning and breakfast causes you to actually eat more, have you looked in to doing say the 16:8 version of intermittent fasting? You need to eat more later in the day so you don't under eat on your calories, but just might be worth you checking it out x

    I mix a scope of protein powder into plain fat free Greek yougurt and then add whatever berry looks good. It is very filling and about 300 calories. Really fuels me up to start the day. You can vary the flavor of protein powder and type of berry.
