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.1
-
Nothing. IF so nothing in the morning. If I eat breakfast, I end up eating all day long. It triggers cravings and binges.2
-
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.1

It seems you have time to do a little cooking.
Eggs, onions, peppers, meat. The combinations and presentations are myriad. Enjoy!2 -
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.1

Juniper210 wrote: »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 used to do 3 a time, sunday nights and wednesday nights. Takes a couple minutes and I'm set with a filling delicious breakfast for days.
I have this printed out on my fridge and just switch up flavors.

I so stole your list.2 -
Coffee w cream first. An hour later I have high fiber oatmeal or cereal w fruit (I like to get most of my fiber in the morning).1
-
I'm all about the smoothie. I make in and then drink it when i get to work. Usually i habe banana, strawberry, kale and ice. If i want extra protein, i add a little almond buttwr or yogurt.1
-
two slices of fairly dense wholegrain bread with either something meaty or cheese. And another slice about an hour later. Works for me1
-
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.1
-
Great ideas for the overnight oats. There are several I'm going to try, so thanks!0

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.1 -
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.1 -
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 pieces1 -
This is my breakfast and Lunch at work this week.
799cals 90g protein ;-)

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.1 -
Usually just 2 eggs or a banana.1
-
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.
2 -
Either cheerios and milk or some fruit, like apricots or figs currently.1
-
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.1
