I recently started to make 5 jars of refrigerator oatmeal on Sunday and eat them throughout the week

ingredients:
1/4 cup quick cooking steel cut oats
1/4 cup 2% greek yogurt plain
1/2 vanilla coconut milk (trader joes)
1.5 T pb2
.5 T chia seeds
1/2 C frozen berries, defrosted and squished


I add all the ingredients to the jars, and shake em up real good! Thats it, and I think its pretty awesome! The pb2 and sweetened coconut milk take care of any bitterness from the yogurt. The berries are there for flavor and bulk! It really keeps me full all morning.

stats: 18 G protein, 359 calories, 12 sugar, 13 fiber.

    i do the same thing every day - 40g of Uncle Toby's uncooked oats with nonfat milk. On Fridays I mix in a capful of maple syrup... or two ;)

    One Egg scrambled
    One half Cheddar Cheese Slice
    One Mission Carb Balance Fajita Size 10 grams Fiber tortilla


    Its 210 calories. I'm thinking of adding a slice of ham. Or you could double the egg and the cheese and make it 310 calories.

    4 fried egg whites. Cup of coffee. Boring but it holds me over until snack break at 10.

    Before workout at 6AM 1 slice raisin toast.
    After workout, about 1.5 hrs later greek yogurt, berries of some sort and a 1/4 cup Special K cereal on top. I have to have that crunch----so satisfying.

    One piece of toast and one egg poached in the microwave. Or, one piece of toast with a tablespoon of peanut butter.

    I go to bed late so try to have all my meals later. Snack about 9:30am-10:30am is probably a piece of fruit or a yoghurt. Breakfast is a couple of hours later and either Greek yoghurt and honey or homemade breakfast muffins. The muffins have everything in them, apple, banana, walnuts, seeds, blueberries.. and cut it down the recipe in parts so it's only 166cal a pop.

    2 hard boiled eggs
    2 slices bacon
    2 cups of coffee
    1 banana

    I only cook the eggs and bacon once a week, so this is ready to go in about two minutes.

    1 slice of multigrain bread (toasted) split in half
    5.3 tbsps of large egg whites
    1 slice of butterball bacon
    2oz of roasted turkey breast
    2 to 4 banana peppers
    1 cup of sauteed fajita veggies (sometimes)
    1 slice of mild cheddar cheese melted (sometimes)

    Quick & easy (easily less than 10 minutes), filled with protein, some carbs (most which are good due to veggies when i use em) & I'm out the door. Have it in the afternoon as a snack sometimes when I want to too.

    Pork sausage, 1 egg, sometimes a slice of cheese, sometimes some avocado. If its a lifting day, then I also do a protein shake with almond milk.

    2 months strong and it still hasn't gotten old. I pre-cook my sausage, and then microwave the egg at work. :)

    It was an over-easy egg or two with an English muffin and various fixings (sometimes a slice of ham or bacon, sometimes cheese and tomato) but in maintenance I've branched out a little. Frozen whole-grain waffles, egg muffins with veggies and cheese, more ham (I love fried ham in the morning), fresh fruit, and yogurt have all hit the rotation lately. I just combine two or three of these in various ways depending on what sounds most appealing.

    Supermarket Pizza with extra meat has been a regular one recently,
    (Get some carbs/protein in pre workout and I seem to do better after eating a bit more - I may leave some until later.)

    1/2 cup oatmeal
    2 pats butter
    2 tsp brown sugar
    Sweet italian creamer for my coffee

    Been my go to for about a year. Easy but it doesn't always hold me over until lunch especially if I go to the gym early in the day. Really need to consider something with eggs. Hmmmm.

    One day I fix instant oatmeal with a cup of hot tea, the next I exchange the oatmeal for instant cream of wheat.

    Cooked in a non stick pan with 1 teaspoon of olive oil or sometimes 5 grams of butter - a handful of baby spinach, one or two eggs, pre-microwaved potato sliced (or one slice of plain-wrap basic wholemeal bread) and sliced tomato, lots of black pepper - filling, seems to help stop me eating sweet stuff during the day.

    Sometimes add a little BBQ sauce just for a change.

    Depending on what I eat (i.e. how many eggs, size of potato) varies between about 200-325 calories.

    PS My cholesterol is fine
