Great Breakfast Ideas for an "On the Run" morning??? HELP

Unless you have leftovers from last night's dinner.. you are pretty much left having to do one day of bulk cooking, prepping ahead. If you are working on losing weight or getting healthy - whatever your focus is.... you have to be good about planning ahead... its the same thing with exercise.. plan ahead and make the commitment.

Im sure at night when you come home after work, you make the time happen to cook your dinner, right? Thats the best time to get something made additionally for the next day....

if you find your self grabbing muffins or bagels why dont you find a low cal/ low fat option for those muffins and bake them once a week, i also like the thin bagels and low fat/ cal peanut butter the home made muffins will be grab and go. The toaster only takes 2 mins You can make yourself and fruit salad the night before and grab a yogurt with it, you can try hard boiled eggs as well. I do this one with my kids a lot a put their fav cereal in a baggie and bring a small carton of milk but it works for me also.
Last hint is to get up a little earlier??? lol

Try the Quaker life cereal, with 2% milk, is only 80 cal. for one cup.
Hope this helps:):bigsmile:

as I leave for work before 8, and I hate eating breakfast early, I usually just have a hard boiled egg to keep me going till mid morning then snack on fruit. It all depends on what you like, personally I do it as it keeps me away from having toast at work.

Ive started making some scrambled egg at night and chucking some veg in like mushrooms, peppers ect.. just grab it in the morning then when I get to work heat it up and eat it there I find it fills me up until lunch time.

- A healthy breakfast/protein/meal replacement bar
- A meal replacement shake
- Fiber One muffins (make a batch for the week)
- A piece of fruit and some nuts/cheese
- Dry cereal

I have the same problem. One thing I do is hard boil some eggs, remove the shells and keep them in the fridge, usually just enough for 3 days, and then in the mornings throw an english muffin in the toaster while I get ready, and throw some peanut butter on it and I can either take it all to go, or grab bites of everything while I'm getting ready.

I eat dry cereal in a cup on the way to work some mornings when I'm really running behind. I like some of the Kashi cereals, one of them, the Krunch one I think, reminds me a little of caramel corn. I also like Cinnamon Chex. My sister likes to eat almonds for breakfast, so try a handful of nuts, too, if you like them, but watch the calories in nuts - they add up fast. I don't do the cereal thing often, but it works in a pinch and I grab a bottle of water on my way out the door with it.

I typically either have a protien shake and grab a packet of lower sugar oatmeal and take it to work with me. Or grab a piece of fruit and take a yogurt for later. I have done the PB Toast as well. I found a recipe earlier on here that sounds really good and you can make it once and have some for th rest of the week. Here:


Egg McYummy

1 English Muffin Toasted
2 Egg Whites Baked
1/2 Slice American Cheese
1 Slice GV 97% Fat Free Sliced Ham
Diced Green Onion, Mushroom, Jalapenos, Etc to Taste

Make multiples by baking the two egg whites in muffin tins or for the perfect size, recycled tuna cans. Spray with Pam and add salt & pepper, green onion, jalapenos, mushrooms, peppers etc. to taste to each and bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes. Pop out of muffin tin and layer on toasted muffin with 1/2 slice cheese & one slice of Fat Free Ham. Wrap individually and eat for the week! VERY YUMMY~

The way I see it is, if you have time to "stop" at the coffe shop, you have time to grab a healthy bite from home. Hope this helps.

I'm always running late and looking for quick things for breakfast..lately I'll either toast some ezekiel bread and slather on some almond butter/peanut butter..and I literally eat it on my way out the door or on my way to work, or I'll crack a couple eggs in a container, add in some garlic and fresh bell pepper (if I had time to cut them up) and stir then pop in the microwave for 1:45. Literally, less than 2 minutes and you have yourself some perfect scrambled eggs! Hope this helps

I also bake homemade muffins for the week over the weekend - they really don't take very long, and if I'm totally out of time in the morning I can throw one in a baggie and eat it at work. And any you make yourself will be healthier than something bought. This week's was bran muffins with blueberries.
