    Save some leftovers from the night before. Or freeze some things over the weekend. I used to make steel cut oatmeal in the crock pot on low and have that for breakfast. Now, I do not eat breakfast. It does not feel like that most important meal of the day.

    If i dont have time in the morning and make it the night before a few hard boiled eggs and maybe a light cheese stick :) If I have time to make it 1 scrambled egg with 2-3 scrambled egg whites and 3 links of jimmy dean turkey sausage its about 250 calories for that breakfast and its very filling :)

    if you are triining unless working out in the AM all your organism requires is protein and fat.
    In my case, staple breakfast is either eggs, bacon and avocado or when in a rush chicken and almonds.

    I always give so much importance on my breakfast as i started losing my extra weight with this good habit.

    In weekdays - My breakfast oatmeal consist of old fashioned oats, skimmed milk, fruits ( apple / papaya / melon etc) and nuts ( almonds / walnuts), 1/2 table spoon honey and 1 table spoon ground flax seeds powder.

    In weekends - My breakfast consists of 2 whole grain bread, peanut butter / low fat cheese slice, 1 whole egg , 3 egg whites, 1 cup skimmed milk and some fruits.

    My advice is always try to make time for your breakfast.

    1. Breakfast ( means break the fast) is very important to stay motivated throughout the day.
    2. It jump starts the metabolism and helps losing weight. (Eggs are great breakfast to increase metabolism).
    3. With a healthy and heavy breakfast you feel full throughout the day. So chances of having cheat meals are less.
    4. A good habit.

    Today it was steel cut oats with banana and dark chocolate peanut butter.

    But breakfast isn't really the most important meal of the day. Some people find that breakfast gives them increased energy and mood and decreased hunger throughout the day. Others find that breakfast makes them sluggish and hungry all day. Meal timing won't affect your weight loss (barring medical conditions). It may affect how you feel throughout the day, either positively or negatively. It's really okay to skip breakfast if you want to and you have no ill effects from it.

    Usually my cup of coffee and an egg taco or fridge oats. Today I had an open faced sandwich on half of a whole wheat sandwich thin, with green tomato relish, a fried egg, and a slice of veggie bacon. It was good!

    This time of year with all of the delicious in season fruit I have been pairing a simple egg & toast or egg taco with some cantaloupe, strawberries or watermelon. So good!

    On weekends my husband and I like to make a bigger breakfast at least one day. French toast, crepes, or some kind of pancakes. Lots of great recipes on Pinterest for lemon ricotta, pumpkin, chocolate and/or vegan pancakes.

    Not the most important meal of the day, that's old BS. The most important meal of the day, in my opinion, is the one right after a beast workout to repair your muscles and recover, whenever that workout is.

    But to answer your question, my breakfast is usually a double protein shake (I use Trutein) or an egg white omelette with tons of veggies and/or chicken and an additional whole egg it it.

    I cook up turkey sausages in advance, then heat that up and eat it with a couple of eggs (you can do egg whites if you want to keeep the calorie count down). You add some whole grain muti-grain bread.

    The most important meal of my day is the one that involves me drinking alone and crying.

    I drink my shake from herbalife as well as my tea and aloe and a glass of water all around 7amish and i'm full until 10am when I need to eat a small snack. It's fast and easy, if you're interested you can contact getfit@healthyherbacouple.com in order to ask question or want help with your journey.

    Sigh......reported.

    I eat Kashi Go Lean, light soy milk, and fresh blueberries (when in season), sprinkle the whole bowl with cinnamon. Two cups of coffee to wash it down.

    1 egg, 1/2 cup egg whites, string cheese, onions, peppers and sometimes a slice of deli turkey. I mix it all together, throw in the microwave at work for about a minute and a half...easy and yummy!

    I recently bought a juicer/blender and have a fruit/vegetable smoothie every morning. For example Kale, apple, banana, blueberry....is one I might make to start the morning off. They are really healthy and give you an energy boost. Also surprisingly they are filling! I am usually not hungry until lunch after I have one.

    Greek yogurt with a teaspoon of peanut butter (I know, I know, sounds gross, but it's seriously good!) with 10 chocolate chips is what I usually have :)
