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

    1/3 cup oatmeal
    1 cup frozen fruit
    1 banana
    water - at least 1/3 cup
    nuke it in the micro for 4 - 5 minutes

    Serve with 3 tablespoons yoghurt - sometimes greek depends what is in the fridge.

    If you can stand your oatmeal runny then more water and less time in the micro.

    I've been making crustless quiches with eggs, egg whites, peppers, onions, cheese, sausage/ham. I just cut a piece and microwave it.

    Overnight oats
    Greek yogurt with berries, pb2, whatever I feel like
    Bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon
    Ricotta pudding (I add milk and some instant pudding mix, and some fruit sometimes too - excellent with frozen fruit and left in the fridge overnight)
    I did breakfast burritos for a while - cheese, microwaved egg, two breakfast sausage links in a tortilla

    When I have more time

    Croque-Madame (ham and swiss open faced sandwich toasted with a fried egg on top
    Protein pancakes
    Crepes (typically I put ham and swiss in it, or jam/nutella)
    Oatmeal

    Yeah I like variety.

    1/2 cup (raw) oatmeal, but cooked of course. With 2 teaspoons Splenda brown sugar blend and 1/4 cup 1% milk. (And COFFEE! with 1/4 cup whole milk.) Satisfying and holds me for 2 to 3 hours. I couldn't enjoy this on my previous low carb diet, but I can with MFP! : ) It all equals 253 calories.

    Plain Greek yogurt with maple syrup or honey, and cinnamon, mixed with a chopped apple and 1/4 cup raw old fashioned oats

    1 cup cottage cheese with a grapefruit

    PB and banana on whole wheat toast

    Used to eat a lot of overnight oats, but tired of them.

    Smoothie every single morning. I LOVE my Vitamix! Base is always a cup of coconut milk. I add in 1-2 servings of fruit (usually mixed berries and a small chunk of banana) and 1-2 servings of veggies (kale, spinach, cucumber are my go-to veggies) and 1 tbsp. chia seeds.

    I always drink hot tea or lemon water first thing followed with my new favorite chia seed pudding. I make on Sunday and it lasts me through the week. Very easy, healthy, and is full of protein and fiber so its very filling. I switch up the fruit topping I use. Blueberry is my favorite and gives me the extra boost of antioxidants. I will also sometimes add 1 tsp Acai powder to search serving before I eat.

    I eat after I get to work, so I need something fast and easy. I have a protein bar.

    I make 2 quarts of steel cut oatmeal weekly. The soak overnight and cook for 20 minutes kind. I scoop some out daily top it with peanut butter and nuke it. I have a little fruit with it. I save my sugar for chocolate.

    I usually mix all this up Sunday night because quinoa takes so long to fully cook and expand, but I end up with:
    - quinoa
    - ground flax seed
    - chia seed
    - honey
    - soy milk if available. sometimes it's homemade almond milk, other times it's just water

    I just reheat it on the stove. If I wind up with more water or milk, I'll toss a bit of oatmeal in to soak the rest up. It ends up begin a little over 4 tbsp total and around 220-300 calories.

    Sometimes if I feel like doing something savoury in the morning, I cut the honey and drop an egg in to cook.

    Right now it's: 1 whole egg, scrambled with salsa (and cilantro if I've got it), half an English muffin, coffee. Other days, it's ⅓ cup of homemade muesli with ⅓ cup low-fat yogurt and maybe a half cup of fresh berries (if I've got any); sometimes it's reheated oatmeal with toasted cocoanut and almonds, cherry-flavoured craisins and almond milk. Still working on creating a healthy breakfast muffin that can be frozen.
