Need a quick breakfast option

I don't normally eat breakfast but from time to time I eat breakfast for lunch or dinner. A toasted english muffin with 2 egg whites and a slice of cheese is good protein, and fast. While my english muffin toasts I spray a large mug with pam, add 2 egg whites or 1 whole egg + a white. Microwave for a minute and it is ready to slide right onto my toasted muffin when it's done toasting. Wrap in a paper towel and eat in the car lol

I make kind of a bistro box. I pack it the night before that way I just have to grab it and run.
Today I had:
1 hard boiled egg
14g lightly salted Almonds
26g raspberries
1 container of Oikos Triple Zero

I change it up sometimes. I have added a cheese wedge, strawberries, baby carrots, cold chicken/turkey/shrimp,or olives. I stay under 100g carbs per day. If you don't have any restrictions you could do more. Crackers/pretzels , Mini PB&J sandwich, apples, frozen waffle with pb on top.

Ohhhh, my favorite breakfast: Toasted english muffin, morning star veggie Maple Sausage Patty, A touch of jam, and sometimes a fried egg. Tastes just like McDonalds and is about 300 calories! Portable, filling, and yummy!

Trail mix, belvita, almonds

Yogurt and fruit, i eat some form of it every morning. I should say greek yogurt bc I am diabetic and need max protein.

Quest protein shake 2 oz almond milk with either a) special k quiche (140 cals) OR a piece of flat-out flax fold-its schmeared withq Plain almond butter. Yum.

Get up 20 minutes earlier so you can eat at home. Eating while driving is as much of a distraction as talking on the phone or texting. Both hands on the wheel and eyes on the road, please.

This.

Egg burrito or sandwich, peanut butter sandwich, hard boiled eggs, string cheese, nuts.

Have used the Burrito option on an early morning airport run.

I'm not sure how many calories you are shooting for or how much protein, but here is what I opt for.

Due to my work schedule (evenings/nights) my sleep schedule is irregular and sometimes I don't get up until a few minutes before I have to leave to go get beat up by my personal trainer. I would skip eating until after my workout and my trainer let me know that this is not a good idea.

Personally, I now try to keep two options handy and I eat them on my way if I have to (usually I have the few minutes I need to eat them at home).

1. Ezekiel sprouted bread with peanut butter. I don't eat a ton of bread, so I keep my Ezekiel bread in the freezer. If I go this route, I toss a piece or two in the toaster to toast/defrost it. Once it pops out, I put a smear of peanut butter on it. With the peanut butter, there is minimal mess except for some bread crumbs.

2. Sandwich Bros Chicken Melt: I buy these from Sam's Club. I'm sure some people would avoid a processed chicken product like the plague, but.... Basically, they are half a pita bread, some cheese, and a chicken patty. They come in at 160 calories, 11g of protein, and 12g of carbs. There is no sauce or anything (basically breaded chicken and cheese) so they make a minimal mess. I keep them in the freezer, toss one on the plate, put it in the microwave for about 45 seconds, flip, and another 45 seconds, and viola, a small meal on the run.


I like some of the other ideas I have read on here. These are just what I use when I need some food in a hurry first thing in the morning.

I used to have to wake up at 4 am to make it to work by 530 am (I had an hour commute). I bought frozen breakfast burritos, nuked them in the microwave while I brewed my coffee and ate it on the way... these literally saved my life and were absolutely delicious! You can also meal prep healthier homemade burritos over the weekend to save on calories (I was averaging 13 miles walking at my job so wasn't worried about calories ).
