Breakfast (I am desperate!)

On Sundays, I make "egg muffins" and then they are good for the week. You can freeze them too.

4 whole eggs, 4 egg whites, beaten
1-2 tsp. seasoning salt of your choice
1/2 cups grated low fat cheese (I like sharp cheddar or a blend of cheddar/Jack cheese, use less cheese if using meat)
Optional, but highly recommended, 3 green onions diced small.
chopped veggies such as blanched broccoli, red pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, etc. (Using veggies will reduce the fat content)
diced Canadian bacon, lean ham, or crumbled cooked turkey sausage

Add seasoning to eggs, and beat them. Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray a muffin tin (6 large muffins) with cooking spray. Layer the meat, vegetables and cheese, then top with equal amounts of the beaten egg mixture.
Bake 20-30 minutes until muffins have risen and are slightly browned and set.

Muffins will keep at least a week in the refrigerator without freezing. Longer if frozen. Egg muffins can be frozen and reheated. For

best results, thaw in refrigerator before reheating. I microwave them for about 60 seconds on medium, then 30 seconds on high. But microwaves vary, so you'll have to test yours.
I love these on the go. I pop it in the microwave while I'm getting my coffee ready and run out the door. I keep cans of V8 around too, so I'll have that with V8 and my coffee in the car.

Yum! These sound delicious!

I make eggs in a coffee cup. Take liquid egg whites 1/4 cup, spray a coffee cup and microwave for about 45 sec. You can throw cheese on it and I've even made an egg sandwich. They're delicious with laughing cow spreadable cheese on low fat muffin.

Zone Perfect Mint Chocolate bars are GREAT!
cottage doubles (if you like cottage cheese and fruit)
bagel thins with light cream cheese or even spray butter
trail mix (Trader Joe Cascade mix is great in small portions) an yogurt
Toasted healthy bread
microwave an egg (spay a tea plate with pam and break the eg and mix the yolk, micro 60-120 seconds)!

I have yogurt at work that i will mix with a few cheerios for some crunch, I also have fruit there and kashi bars, i love the ones with coconut. rice cakes with almond butter are also a great fast thing.

I need ideas for breakfast, I always forget to eat in the mornings.
To give a little more info my morning routine consists pretty much of rolling out of bed grabbing my coffee and walking out the door.

I am beyond lazy in the mornings, I have tried really I have but I cannot drag my butt out of bed until I absolutly have to.

So I need something that involves very little prep time, very little effort and possibly some recipes or things that I can bring to work and leave in the freezer for when I forget.

Please help!

This described me to a "T" up until 3 weeks ago. Now I've just finished my scrambled eggs and am having yogurt before I walk out the door. How did I do it?

I started by getting up just 5 minutes early and putting together a breakfast I could eat in the car; fruit, crackers, toast w/peanut butter etc.

Then I got up 10 minutes earlier (15 minutes earlier than my original wake up) and had that same breakfast at home.

Then, with the help of my husband, I got up 15 min. earlier (30 minutes earlier than my original wake up) and he fixed breakfast for me.

Now, I fix breakfast myself and husband gets to sleep in a little.

I had a couple of days where the thought of eating made me a little nauseous. I just went back to fruit and crackers for a day or two.

I broke a habit of 30+ years. You can do this!

Same with me. Some mornings I felt like I might be sick with every bite but I ate anyway. Now I crave breakfast. I usually have an EAS Advantedge shake on way to work, then some coffee, yogurt, and sometimes oatmeal.

Smoothie Recipes -

1c frozen mango + 1c frozen peaches + 1 tbsp flower honey + 1.5c vanilla soy milk (or regular milk) .. blend if too thick add more milk or some water

2c frozen mixed berries (anti oxident blend, or whatever combo of strawberry/raspberry/blueberry) + 1.5c vanilla soy milk + honey

Honestly frozen fruit of any combination plus milk or vanilla soy milk is fantastic. These recipes make 2 servings each but can be eaten as one large serving also. I recommend adding a scoop of protein powder to stay satiated longer if your calories allow for it.

homemade 'egg mcmuffin'
1 english muffin + 2 slices of deli ham, or 1 slice of back bacon (also known as canadian bacon), 1 slice low fat cheese and 1 egg or two eggwhites. Toast the english muffin and put the egg(s) into one of those round screw top ziploc containers and scramble well and then microwave for like.. 20 seconds (put it on for 40 and stand there and watch it, once the liquid on the bottom of the container is gone it's done turn off the microwave and now you'll know what time your microwave needs) Slap it all together and call it breakfast.

Yogurt Parfait

1-1.5c frozen berries + 1/3 c low fat yogurt (or one individual serving size of the same) + 1/3c just bunches (honey bunches of oats spin off) ... slightly thaw the berries in the microwave and mix together in a bowl.. delicious!

Eggy wrap
3 egg whites + onions, bell peppers, whatever veggies + small amount of feta cheese. Scramble the eggs and the cheese together and cook in a pan - this will only take a few minutes. Combine the eggs and veggies in a whole grain tortilla wrap and top with a tbsp of salsa.

You could try bircher museli which you make in the evenings. the original health food.
I like raspberry smoothies with pea protein, coconut cream, yoghurt etc.
Also, you could try an apple and some nuts/seeds.

I personally, when I feel really lazy, tend to eat just a little bowl of yoghurt and add a small amount of fruit syrup for the flavour. It's both delicious, quick to make and easy to eat. Good luck! A healthy eating rhythm is important.

I have the same thing pretty much every day, Im surprised I havent gotten tired of it lol
I make breakfast the night before that way I always have something to eat and I have bread to toast at work
I have some egg whites, with a slice of ham and some spinach, mix that all up til the egg whites are cooked and I top if off with some feta cheese and have all this with my toast

My easy under-200-calorie breakfasts:

MoJo Bar (Peanut / Pretzel is an awesome flavor)
Luna Bar (Lemon is the best)
Eggo Nutrigrain Waffle w/ peanut butter
Peanut butter and banana on skinny wheat toast
Cheese on wheat toast
1/2 c. nonfat vanilla yogurt, 1/2 c. berries, 1/2 c. granola
Cereal w/ skim milk and banana
Oatmeal with skim milk, cinnamon and raisins
Wheat English muffin with low fat cream cheese and diced dried apricots

Obviously, some are easier to eat in the car than others... but none of them take longer than 2 or 3 minutes to make.
