***** I love these muffins and they are delicious, the recipe make 6, one for each day (sunday is usually when I make more). I put the leftovers in the fridge or freezer and pop them in the morning and reheat for 50 secs. Fast and very delicious!!!!****

Your apple idea is great--I make our breakfasts and lunches the night before, so morning time-crunches (which happen frequently) don't result in poor eating. Also, a breakfast doesn't have to be traditional "breakfast food" to be healthy, fruit and some raw nuts works, as does a healthy sandwich, even a salad. Basically anything that's generally healthy can be made into a healthy breakfast. Also, in a pinch, a low-sugar, whole grain cereal is better than fast food--and if you forgo the milk, or add it to yogurt, it's easier to eat on the go.

I grill about 2lbs of chicken on Sunday. I wrap them in foil (usually ~4oz) and store them in the door of my refrigerator and grab and go!

Bump. Sounds so good! I'm gonna try these next week!

I keep grapes in my fridge, and it's really easy to grab some and put them in a bag or container and eat them wherever. Plus I love them so it's one of the only healthy foods I can get myself to eat very much of.

edamane - basically soy beans in pod. You can microwave them to warm them. they are full of protein and tast great. I am starting to do for myself what I have been doing for my son. Little tupperwear containers of snacks to grab.

Cucumber slices in vinigar
measured out 100 cal snacks
baby mum mum snacks
heinz baby cookies (some of the toddler stuff is low cal and quick)
a mix of nuts, raisins, pretzels pre measured into snack bags

First thing I have upon waking is a protein shake. It completely stops the hunger issue dead in it's tracks first thing. They are easy and quick and are portable. For most of the people here trying to keep calories low along with carbs and fat look at this protein shake as an option. The serving size is 2 scoops but one would be enough.

I don't work for GNC or ISOPURE just giving quick, easy portable options.

In my purse I always have: an apple, some nuts, and a clif bar. I eat them throughout the day as snacks or on the way to work in a rush. It really helps when you're in a situation where you're so hungry you'd eat anything and - oh wait! I have snacks!

I usually stop at the corner store and get a Little Debbie Cosmic Brownie or a bag of Cheetos and a Rockstar.

trouble maker!!!

the entire last school year i would take grilled salmon over a baby spinach based salad (with grape tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, chic peas, etc depending on my mood and how much time i had).

i always kept a pkg of arnold's sandwich thins or thomas' whole grain english muffins in the fridge at work and would eat one with my salad if i was feeling particularly hungry, or if i got in a lunchtime workout and needed the additional calories.

i would grill the salmon for the week on sunday so throwing the lunch together took under 2 minutes.

this year however, i dont know why but i cant get myself to eat that everyday, so my lunch varies with some good and some not so good choices....

These turned out awesome and my husband loved them! Thanks so much for the recipe.

(I sauteed the peppers, onions and mushrooms in water, beat 8 eggs with 1/3 cup of milk and mixed in the cheese, pre-cooked turkey sausage crumbles, vegetables and baked for 25 minutes.)

Prep everything the night before and then just grab and go.
