    If you want something easy to keep at work you can buy protein bars, Muscle Milk protein drinks, or, as others have said, make your own. Way cheaper than Advocare

    I do find that high protein foods keep me feeling much more full. With that said, I agree that there are a lot of options out there. While I haven't tried Advocare, I have a couple of friends that sell it and their facebook feeds are really obnoxious--definitely stinks of MTM scheme.

    I usually keep a few Luna Protein bars in my desk; although there are a lot of other options, that one is usually on sale for about $1/bar and has decent protein to calories ratio. When buying protein bars or drinks, be careful of calories because some are quite high, just read the labels carefully. The more protein the more filling, shoot for 12-30 grams, 20 seems to be the sweet spot of fillingness, and stay under 200 calories. Also, cottage cheese and greek yogurt are protein packed. I just discovered Dannon's new Oikos line of 100 calorie greek yogurt that has 12 grams of protein and is DELICIOUS! Those will set you back about $1/serving as well. I buy the pre-made protein drinks because I can't seem to blend away the grit from the powder ones and that bothers me. It's more expensive at about $2/serving.

    Anyway, I hope this has helped you with easy breakfast ideas. :smile:

    It did thanks :smile:

    I really just get bored and lazy when it comes to breakfast and if I don't have something east I find myself falling back to my old standby McDonalds Bacon Egg Cheese Bagel, and with that comes all the rest of my former bad habits.

    I think for now I'll try some protein shakes since everyone really seems to like those, and maybe eventually even order the Advocare ones just to try.

    As far as the actual 24 day challenge.....I have absolutely NO interest in ever doing it. I completely understand how to use MFP to my full advantage, and would never pay that much money for a diet that I KNOW I wouldn't be able to keep up long term. I lost 30+ pounds a few years ago with just MFP and exercise so I know that I can do it, just trying not to fall back into bad habits :smile:
