    I Intermittent fast. So I wake up at 7 and don't eat until 1 pm. That is what I consider my breakfast. Today I had A Wrap with 2 eggs and 1/4 pound of beef.

    Nothing. IF so nothing in the morning. If I eat breakfast, I end up eating all day long. It triggers cravings and binges.

    A cup of nonfat Greek yogurt w/ blueberries and an egg white + spinach omelet. Usually wash it down with a glass of water and cup of green tea.

    It seems you have time to do a little cooking.

    Eggs, onions, peppers, meat. The combinations and presentations are myriad. Enjoy!

    I eat plain oatmeal with 16 grams of peanut butter and/or a banana almost every day for breakfast. If I was in your situation I would probably take a peanut butter sandwich and a banana. Or I might just make it at work. Love me some instant oats.

    I second @heartsandhearts suggestion. Overnight oats sound perfect for your situation. You can make up multiple at once too and have them in the fridge waiting.

    I have this printed out on my fridge and just switch up flavors.

    two slices of fairly dense wholegrain bread with either something meaty or cheese. And another slice about an hour later. Works for me

    Can't wait to try those overnight oats recipes. I find that I'm satisfied longest with hard boiled eggs and Greek yogurt, or overnight oats with protein powder. Lots of coffee.

    A breakfast (or regular) burrito, well wrapped is a very easy and filling breakfast for someone with limited time on the go. You can make them yourself and freeze them or buy premade ones whichever fits your schedule best. Microwave it and wrap in foil to keep it warm until you can eat it.

    This is what I do when I need a quick, filling breakfast. The best part is you can make them any way you like, so it can be as healthy (or not) as you want them to be. Just 2 minutes in the microwave and you're all set.

    PB&J, Egg, Costco Italian Sausage, a cup of milk.

    I used to boil the sausage whole but then I found its really cool to chop it into pieces and sauteeing (i think). You get lots of spicy meatballs, mammamia.

    It varies, some mornings I'm not hungry.

    1 cup of cottage cheese with red pepper flakes.
    Or
    4 espresso shots with whole milk and protein powder.
    Or
    Two yogurts
    Or
    Two eggs
    Or if I'm feeling really hungry
    Everything bagel with spreadable pepper jack, those little triangle pieces

    This might not help you at work...

    I have a veggie or turkey burger topped with 2 over easy eggs, cheese and salsa. Or a chicken sausage link wrapped in cheese with a side of eggs.

    Of course the other day I had Italian wedding soup.. Lol I just heated that up.

    When I worked I used to make a big thing of scrambled eggs with all the veggies, then at work add avocado, and cheese. Then warm it up and top with salsa. I'd be full all day off that.

    Make muffins ahead using Kodiak pancake mix and egg whites for part of the water--extra protein. Freeze in packs of 2. Take out night before plan to eat on the run.

    Ooh, breakfast is my jam! I don't usually have time for a good lunch and I'm too tired for dinner, so breakfast is always much anticipated. I eat the same thing -

    1 whole bag frozen california blend
    tomato, onion and mushroom
    protein source (2 eggs, chicken, turkey or roast beef)
    shredded cheese
    some sort of seasoning
    1 large apple
    diet pepsi

    It's so good, and I don't mind waking up at 5 am to eat. My whole point- find something that you will look forward to eating that still fits within your caloric allowance.
