OK, so am into day 3 of my Food Diary. My usual breakfast of toasted muesli, almonds, LF yoghurt & almond milk is a def 'No-no', as was accounting for well-over 1/3 of my daily ration.
What can anyone suggest that will be filling, quick & yummy. I would rather have 'extra' exercise time before work rather than spending time preparing breakfast.
Any suggestions helpful.
TIA :-)

    On non work days I have instant porridge or weetabix with raisins, nuts and banana. Or Toast with peanut butter and banana. On work days I take it with me. Today (at work) I have an apple, a banana and a cereal bar.

    You could prepare the night before?

    Berry smoothie - equal part berries, yoghurt, milk of choice, water (so it's not too thick) bit of ice if desired - blend.

    Scrambled eggs - 2 full eggs, cheese, dash of milk and parsley/dill or fav additives.

    Fruit salad bowl - topped with yoghurt and cinnamon.

    Homemade baked beans - tin of preferred beans (hubby like cannellini, but there's butter beans, red beans etc). with diced up brown onion and a tin of diced tomatoes. Much lower calories and lower sodium than bought baked beans and depending on appetite there may be enough for 2 breakies.

    Eggs again - cooked to your preference with some bacon (maybe a bit high with the calories) but if you are in America I often see Turkey bacon touted as a good alternative.

    Leftovers from dinner - reheat and serve.

    Hope this gives you some ideas.

    Cheers

    One of my favorite quick, light things to eat is simply a couple pieces of string cheese and a carton of low fat yogurt. Add a hard-boiled egg if it's not enough. Filling, lots of protein, sticks with you.

    My favorite quick breakfast is a half a cup of oatmeal with a scoop of banana protein powder mixed into it.. Takes about two minutes and keeps me full most of the day

    Eh, I'm not really bothered by the sugar...I like Yoplait Greek yogurt.

    Hard boiled egg ( i make 6 or so at a time to eat through the week),2 slices turkey bacon( microwaved) and a piece of fruit.
    The fruit I usually take on the road with me. Quick and yummy for me anyhow.
