I usually don't have breakfast. Just lunch and dinner. Since I started working out my trainer always tells me it's very important for me to have breakfast but I feel like it would take forever... Any recommendations?

    Yogurt. I don't like to get up before work and I'm usually rushing out the door in the mornings. I grab stuff I can eat in the car on my way to work. Premade protein drinks, Lala yogurt smoothies, baby carrots, granola bars

    A good protein bar (Quest, Combat Crunch, Oh Yeah) is the fastest good thing I can think of. About 200 calories, 20g protein.

    Or cereal with protein powder in it, that's fast.

    Hard boiled eggs and a tomato can be made beforehand and shoved in your mouth minute of. You can also premake oatmeal, sandwiches, or granola bars to grab and go when you just don't want to do anything in the morning.

    I like yogurt and granola too. I also like a toasted English muffin with tomato and cheese put under the broiler until the cheese melts. Multigrain toast with avocado and garlic chili sauce. Hungry Girl's egg mugs are fast you can prep the night before then it take like 2 minutes in the microwave. I really like baked eggs right now. Take a little more time but so easy and really worth it.

    I don't have time to eat before leaving for work either so will often grab a slimfast shake bottle to travel with (used to do hard boiled eggs but it makes you kind of unpopular on the train!) Eating little & often is good for metabolism & blood sugar levels :)

    20g almonds and 100g organic vanilla yoghurt with either fresh berries or an apple to go.

    Just skip it. Unless you have blood sugar issues, or you're an athlete or something, it's really not a problem.

    1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese, 1/2 cup fruit flavored greek yogurt, 1 tsp lemon juice. It's quick and gives a good starting protein boost.

    If I skip breakfast I'm more likely to indulge at lunch time since I'm haaaaangry by that point. I either do Quick Oats (w/ water, peanut butter, fruit) or Kashii blueberry waffles. Both are 3 minutes or less and around 300cals.

    Smoothies or Greek yogurt parfait. These can be made the night before and be ready for the morning.

    Grabbing a piece of fruit is always good.

    Avocado egg salad sandwich. Hard boil the egg the night before and mash a half avocado with it, add salt n pepper for taste. Make some toasted bread in the morning and put some on.

    @st476 that looks like the best breakfast ever! I'm going to have to give that a go!

    My go to is one slice of toast, with one slice (pre-sliced) cheese on top, then top the cheese with a sliced up pre-boiled egg. Pop into the microwave for 10 seconds to melt the cheese. Eat. Takes about 3 minutes, is about 200 calories, and I get protein, fat and carbs. It's quite filling, too.

    I make a batch of hard boiled eggs at a time (7-8) every week or so and have one each morning. I also cook quick cooking oatmeal (its comes in the big tubs, not the individual packages with the different flavorings). I add cinnamon to it to give it some flavor. All in all, I am done with breakfast in about fifteen minutes.

    Once a week make a big batch of egg muffins with sausage and veggies. You can also do breakfast burritos. Wrap me up and pop them. In the freezer and take them out as needed. Lots of ideas on Pinterest.

    It's not compulsory whatever your trainer may think, if you are having performance issues during your workout he/she may have a good point. If you aren't, don't worry about it and eat in the schedule that suits you.

    Pretty close second for speed - a glass of milk.

    What @sijomial said.

    Breakfast is NOT "the most important meal of the day".

    I walk or run in the mornings, so I like to eat something. I eat breakfast biscuits, namely, Weet Bix "Go" biscuits and some Greek yoghurt.

    Before anything, I would first ask you, what are your goals/purpose for training @gabiruchi ?? (Health concerns? Fat loss? Playing a sport that requires increased performance?)
    Your trainer has a point to an extent. IF you feel sluggish during workout, then yes you may want to eat something a bit before your training session. There is intermittent fasting, which many of my clients as well as myself utilize in order to break into our stored fat cells by having that state of depletion. Some people feel good eating 2 or 3 times per day, where as someone else may eat 5 or 6 times. Depends on YOUR preference, your goals, and your schedule.
    If eating more calories around your lunch works for you because of a strenuous morning workout, do it! (Just Track, track, track those calories) Maybe a bigger dinner is ideal for you because you tend to be really hungry late at night and this helps curb your appetite.
    *Many people that don't track cals (macros) dont eat enough. They are used to eating a certain way that over time, their body adapts to the routine and they plateau.*
    If not used to eating breakfast, don't go big! Baby steps to consistency. Try a protein shake and a banana if whole foods make your stomach uneasy because it's just to much. Prepare ahead is key to success! Make small to-go meals/snacks the night before.
    Many of my foods I eat were already mentioned in above comments... protein shakes, protein bars, yogurt, cream cheese, cereals, milk, granolas, almonds, Quick oats oatmeal, toast with peanut butter, eggs, bagel, don't forget WATER.<water is crucial for many bodily functions...muscle stores, organ function, digestion, body temp, fullness.
    If you have more time in the morning, I love making Protein pancakes. Mmmm pancakes lol.
    Afternoon snacks I'll make wraps. Chicken breast wrapped inside a tortilla with avocado and some sour cream. (iifym lol) Perfect on the go snack that provides me with my protein, carbs, and good fats from avocado.
    There is also a good amount of fiber which helps keep me feel full longer.
    Eat toward your goal, no matter what it is. A long distance runner isn't going to have the same nutrition plan as a bodybuilder because the goal and energy requirements are different.
    You got this! Stay focused, stay positive!

    I eat over-night oatmeal for breakfast. There are a ton of recipes on Pintrest. You can make enough for 6 days at a time and store in your fridge. If you keep your ingredients simple and don't add a bunch of sugary stuff you are looking at about 325 Calories per serving but you are getting lots of protein and fiber. I use old fashioned oat meal, non-fat, plain, greek yogurt, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, fresh fruit (blue berries for me), a couple tablespoons of pecan piece per serving plus chia seeds then a little honey. It can be warmed prior to eating but I like mine cold.

    I eat instant oatmeal, Monday - Friday. Grab 2 packets and head to the office. Make it and eat it at my desk.
