Healthy and quick breakfast meals

Hi all,

I'm not a breakfast eater but I really want to lose the weight and I know it is important not to skip breakfast. Problem is I have to leave my house at half six and my morning routine does not allow for anymore than maybe ten spare minutes at a push.

Ideally I'd love food I can eat on route to work or meals that are prepped night before etc that I can eat in the office. I do have a microwave at work for example. My partner is allergic to nuts so I need to avoid those like the plague but otherwise I'm willing to try any dishes! Thanks for your help xx

Breakfast isn't important unless it's important to you for medical or energy reasons. A lot of people lose weight very successfully skipping breakfast and if that's the way you eat naturally it might be worth sticking with it.

That said, some of my go-to breakfasts:
Just coffee
Greek yogurt
Mini egg frittatas (I make a batch on the weekends and pop them in the microwave in the morning)
Overnight oats
Steel cut oats with fruit & protein powder
Bagel thin with whipped cream cheese and lox
Mashed avocado on toast
Blueberry pancakes (I eat mine with Greek yogurt instead of syrup)
Scrambled eggs & veggies
Leftovers from yesterday
Eggs on toast
Fried egg on a sandwich slim with cheese
Protein shake with fruit, yogurt, & protein powder
Fried egg on a multigrain waffle
Fried egg and hummus on a toasted sandwich thin

I agree with the previous posters. Not hungry, don't eat. If you do get hungry some mornings some easy ideas are Greek yogurt, hardboiled egg, toast or toasted English muffin with peanut butter/honey, oatmeal cups (individual ones are super easy), protein bar or a smoothie. I make a smoothie with cold coffee, frozen banana, ice and vanilla protein powder that's actually tasty.
