Hey all. So for a while, I've been trying to cut out my morning pop tart. They have so many calories and so much sugar in them. I've tried other low cal things, but I'm starving 10 minutes later. I need something I can just grab and go to work, but still fill me up at least a little so I'm not starving at work all day! Any suggestions? Thanks all!

    Try a cereal high in whole grains, and maybe a fruit or two. And/or have a protein, like a yogurt.

    Hard boiled eggs are great. High in protein so they fill you up, about 70 calories each for a large egg. I enjoy a banana with a couple hard boiled eggs for a healthy breakfast. :drinker:

    How about something like Nature Valley Granola bar.

    Thanks for the ideas, guys, but like I said I need something I can just grab. As in prep time of five seconds or less lol. When I have time, I definitely have some cheerios or oatmeal, etc. But 99% of days, I have no time to make breakfast.

    1 banana
    scoop of jam
    cup of milk
    one raw egg / vanilla whey powder (you dont taste just gives you protien )

    then blend blend blend
    = sweet drink that will fill you up

    Hard boiled eggs can be pre-made and keep for several days....bananas are perfectly ready to go as is :bigsmile:

    That sounds good. Do you mix anything with the yolk part of the egg? Or just as is?

    As is usually....I'll put them in one of those disposable Glad containers and pre-pepper them and maybe a dash of salt if you like(or anything else you might like to season them with).

    Granola bars are yum, and definitely quick. But I'm starving 10 mins later. Thanks for the suggestion though :)

    Protein bars are the better way to go for a bar solution.

    Oat meal (though not really good for eating in a car...but only takes 1 minute to make, so maybe 5 minutes total donated to breakfast, doesn't seem to be asking a lot?)....protein shakes, fruit smoothies, hard boiled eggs, eggs in general (like scrambled).

    All my suggestions take time to cook, but all of them can be cooked and eaten in under 10 minutes. (unless your a really slow eater). It just takes time to get used to a new routine and motivation to put in effort to make them.

    I love peanut butter on waffles. How about a Fiber bar with peanut butter on it (Fiber One Peanut Butter & oats bar is yummy with some extra PB on top).

    Can you get up a little earlier to give yourself more time in the mornings?

    I eat in the car everyday. My normal breakfast is 16 wheat thins, 3 slices (quartered) ham lunch meat, 1 oz of cheddar cheese chunked. Keeps me going for about 4 hours. All for under 300 calories.

    I worry about the fat content
    In granola, how about yop, ensure shake, high fiber/low fat muffin or breakfast cookie?
    I made stove top stuffing ( high sodium...) then lined muffin tins with stuffing. Mixed egg whites, ham, green onion and cheese, pour over stuffing and bake till set. They make a tasty grab and go breakfast!!!!

    What about getting up 10 min earlier? (I'm not a morning person, so I know how horrific a suggestion that is, but this diet thing does demand sacrifice!)

    I eat breakfast when I get to work - oatmeal with raisins and dried apple bits and milk. Very filling and healthy.

    Oh yeah, that fiber bar thing sounds good! I always try to get up earlier, but I'm so not a morning person, it rarely works out lol. I usually shower the night before, and everything; that way, I can just throw on my uniform and go in the morning. I can definitely do prep the night before for food, but I just love cuddling so much that I rarely find the motivation to get out of bed and leave my husband haha

    I don't really worry about fat. The reason I started trying to get fit is because my mom's diabetes has gotten out of control, and her lack of motivation to lose weight is worsening it. So I'm mostly worried about sugar, trying to avoid getting diabetes down the road!

    Do you or anyone you know have a Costco membership? These Diabeteze peanutbutter chocolate bars are amazing! Low glycemic high protein, very filling cause they're so dense. I love them! Quick grab and go!

    I use Jillian Michael's triple chocolate whey shake for breakfast. . It mixes really easy. . I like to add berries to mine. .

    Or fiber one bars, kelloggs antioxidant bars, or Cliff bars are good.

    Other than that I like a good hot cereal . . like oatmeal, or Bob's Red mill hot cereal. .

    Good luck dear.

    It is delicious. . . I buy lowfat nutrigrain waffles, or I go to sprouts and get buckwheat or flax waffles. . All of which taste great with peanut butter, almond butter, or sunflowerseed butter.

    For on the go, I like to eat Pure Protein bars. Theyre about 200 calories each and cost a little under a dollar each. Walmart, costco and sams club sells them. They last about 2-3 hours until I get hungry again.

    When I am at home, protein shake is the most cost efficient. Walmart is the cheapest I found at 15 dollars for 27 servings. 500ish calories, 2 cups of milk and 2 scoops. Keeps me full for 4-5 hours. Roughly $1.30 for 2 servings :) Takes me only a few minutes... as long as it takes to heat up a pop tart and wait for it to cool off :)

    That sounds good! Is it available everywhere, or just health stores like GNC or just online? That shake sounds yum, though.
