Need EASY breakfast ideas

"I think measuring out a 1/2 tbsp of peanut butter would make me cry."

It's literally just a slightly heaped teaspoon there's 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon

making steel cut oats is a pain in the rearend so i make four days worth at once and keep it in the fridge .you can make anything up and put it in the fridge actually...cereal is easy ... eggs i nuke in the microwave ... nutritient bars , shakes

Kind of agree on the steel cut oats. I usually do mine 1 c oats soaked 12+ hrs in the fridge with 2 c milk or almond milk, 2 c water. Boil 10 min with cinnamon or cinnamon sticks, then simmer 5 min adding some vanilla, brown sugar and occasionally Craisins. Makes 4 nice servings. Usually my husband and I eat this on a Sunday morning and then have another day's worth in the fridge. Yummy!

Special K Protein Cereal w/ Fat Free Milk
Hard Boiled Egg & Fruits

I try to keep a few boiled eggs in the fridge so I can grab them and either nuke them for breakfast and maybe toss some avocado in with them, or I'll throw them in a salad for lunch. I also keep some pre-bagged smoothies in the freezer. I freeze the yogurt in ice cube trays, then throw the yogurt cubes in a baggie with fruit. If I'm short on time in the morning, I dump the baggie in the blender, maybe toss in some banana, or almond milk, or orange juice...whatever I feel like that day and it's done.

I also agree with a previous poster who said, why limit yourself to breakfast foods. Someone told me that a couple months ago, and since then, breakfast is way more interesting!

During the work week my main breakfast is usually a tofu scramble (it's similar to scrambled eggs, but tofu and I find that I can freeze it and reheat it and it tastes much better than reheated eggs to me!) - I mix the tofu scramble with some potato & cheese & veggies. I make 4-5 meals out of one block of tofu and sometimes I make 2 blocks at once. Freeze the indiviual portions and then pop it in the microwave at work for 2 mins and i'm good to go! Filling and easy.

Sometimes I make a quick egg salad. I'll boil some hardboiled eggs, mix with a litlte mayo, mustard, dressing, whatever (lately I mixed with avocado and holy yum!).

Burritos - another thing I can make a batch of, freeze them, and just pop it in the microwave. Or i'll buy amy's burritos. But if I make them it's a simple mix of beans, cheese, salsa.... wrap and freeze!

I made oatmeal blueberry waffles lately and I was amazed at just how filling they were! And they froze and reheated nicely! (the recipe was by Isa Chandra).

I like to mash some avocado with lemon juice and put it on dark rye toast. 1/4 avocado per slice is enough. Maybe some protein to round it out, or I do this as a light breakfast and save the protein for a 10am snack.

I find it very hard to be filled with 300 calories, but I guess if oatmeal fills you up, this should too...

Breakfast burrito - 1 45 calorie cheese slice (Sargento thin or just 2% American), 2 turkey breakfast sausages, 1 egg, 1 90 calorie tortilla... that's about 280 calories.

Frittata - I cook some peppers and onions, add some turkey sausage crumbles, put in a 7" baking pan, sprinkle 3oz of reduced fat cheese, then mix 4 eggs and 200g of egg whites and dump that on top. 1/4 of it is about 220 calories.

Bagel thins with light cream cheese and smoked salmon - 250 calories.

I make muffin tin omelets on Sunday and eat them cold or warmed up throughout the week. The veggie ones take about half an egg each and come to around 50 calories, so I usually have two and sometimes a piece of fruit, keeping breakfast under 200 calories. I also love to eat at night!
