So I just started meal prep and counting calories and trying to hit my protein goals and such. What are some good, healthy, and tasty breakfast meal prep I can make?

    Off the top of my head you could do breakfast sandwiches or breakfast burritos. I actually make a big pot of oatmeal on sundays to eat all week. It's not as good as eating it freshly made but good enough for me.

    Overnight oats are popular and so easily and infinitely adaptable to personal taste.

    My go-to is EGGS all week long. I eat them for lunch simply because they keep me full all afternoon without adding a pile of calories to my logs and I get the protein I need!

    I keep my weekday breakfast simple and it's usually a mix of:
    hardboiled eggs
    greek yogurt
    protein bar
    oatmeal

    I like to do egg cups, lots of different ways to do them! I’ll usually line muffin tins with ham or turkey slices, put a little chopped onion/peppers and a dash of chilli powder, crack an egg in (I like to break the yolk) and top with a little salt and pepper. Bake ‘em for like 20-30 min (until eggs are done). I’ll take 2 to work for a quick breakfast, microwave for like 30 seconds and they’re good to go.

    Lots of different egg cups/mini frittata recipes online to keep you inspired and from getting bored.

    Just make sure to really grease the muffin tins as the eggs will stick -not as necessary if you’re lining the tins with ham/turkey as hardly any egg touches the pan.

    EGGS. I microwave them 45 seconds in a ramekin (scramble first, put a paper towel over it to hopefully contain messes that sometimes happen). Put on complex carb of choice, mix with veggie of choice. Cheap, surprisingly quick, easy.

    Veggie scrambles. Egg bites or muffins. Oatmeal. I've been eating leftovers for breakfast. I've also started making big batches of beans, roasting and cutting up winter squash, and having that with salsa for breakfast. Love soup or chili for the too.

    I do cherry or cherry/blueberry overnight oats most days. So nice to have breakfast ready and waiting. This morning did 1 serving orig Kashi cereal with banana slices and almond milk; coffee. Sometimes do egg and avocado toast. I use 45 calorie Sara Lee bread. Good luck!

    Five mornings out of 7 I have oatmeal, either with cinnamon and sliced banana or I chop up an apple and put it into the oatmeal before cooking. I prefer the apple way, so yummy! I also like 1 1/2 egg omelets with spinach and mushrooms, throw in a little shredded cheddar.

    My favorite breakfast right now is a couple slices of roast turkey, a sliced up hard boiled egg, a schmeer of avocado and slices of cucumber on top of crisp multi grain toast.
    Under 300 calories and the feeling of satiety lasts longer than with grain/carb loaded breakfasts.
    I drink at least 2 glasses of water (one before/one after) take my supplements, log it and I'm set for a few hours.

    I don't eat keto (far from it), but I like breakfast to be "keto-esk". Every Sunday I get a container of liquid eggs (while I was losing I'd use the substitute, now I buy the whole egg cage free ones), mix in zucchini and onions (chopped), some spices and bake them in muffin cups. I put a serving of pre-cooked turkey sausage with it and put them in sandwich bags. Then I just grab one and I'm on my way to work to microwave it, smother it with hot sauce and enjoy it with a black coffee. Usually a couple hours later I enjoy a serving of berries.

    I've noticed if I have bread (muffin, toast, etc) for breakfast, even with protein I'm snackier during the day. So I avoid those things (even if healthy) to maintain my sanity.

    Weekends I tend to eat either 3 eggs, or 2 eggs with bacon/sausage. This is when I have to time to prepare and eat a breakfast at home.

    I do a Sunday breakfast prep by making my own trail mix. I mix 22 g of almonds, 15 g of granola, and 12 g of roasted edamame (for that protein 😂), making 5 Pre-portioned bags for the week.

    My fave breakfast meal prep starts with 1/2 cup oatmeal and a high performance protein shake to replace milk or water. Then I add in healthy fruit and cinnamon and honey. Filling and less than 400 kcal
