I eat breakfast at work in the mornings. I don't like to eat when I first get up because it upsets my stomach, so I wait and eat at work. Recently I've been eating English muffins with cream cheese, but I think I need something different. What can I eat for breakfast that's filling and I can prepare it at work? I don't have time to "make" anything in the mornings to bring with me either since I'm busy getting my 3 1/2 year old twins ready for daycare. Any recommendations for me? Thanks!

    Protein Shakes (I use Lean Shakes from GNC), you can boil some eggs and have a hardboiled egg with it, I always boil a dozen for the week that way their ready for whenever I want one.

    A bottled protein shake and a piece of fruit. I make smoothies and put the fruit in the shake, but that's a prepare at home thing.

    I boil a bunch of eggs on Sunday night and have a few each morning.

    If you have a microwave at work you can make instant oatmeal there.
    Greek yogurt - you can mix in your favorite fruits, nuts, etc.

    Hope this helps.

    One lady I work with eats hardboiled eggs, good protein and not too many calories. If you dont mind them cold you can keep them in a fridge or cooler until you are ready to eat them.

    I bought the Jimmy Dean Delights... Turkey, Egg White and Cheese on a muffin they are only 260 calories. I try to stay under 300 calories for breakfast.

    Jimmy Dean makes a turkey sausage, egg white, and cheese muffin(whole grain). It's not bad at all!! It can be prepared in the microwave!

    Fat Free greek yogurt!! I eat mine with a banana mixed in or other fruit, and half a scoop of Vanilla Whey Protein powder!! VERY filling, sticks with you a long time (because of the high protein) and is tasty!! 245 calories or under!!!

    I like getting the thin bagels that are only 110 calories. I change it up with different flavors of cream cheese only 1tbsp. though. Other days I will have one package of cream of wheat, or oatmeal. Our coffee station at work has a hot water tap so it's super quick and easy. Sometimes in the afternoon when I'm really hungry I will have cream of wheat as a snack too. It's not as heavy as oatmeal. I like the maple brown sugar and the cinnabon flavors the best. A friend of mine suggested plain cream of wheat with fresh fruit. Last idea I have for you is oikos greek yogurt. Very yummy indeed!

    Instant oatmeal with fruit! Any kind of fruit works like apple, raisins, berries.

    I usually make a protein shake with almonds breeze, pb2, ice, and almond ext. I mix it up day to day so I don't get bored with the taste. Some days I grab a larabar and a piece of fruit.

    I make an "egg thing" (frittata) that I bake up on Sunday and cut in slices. I bring it to work and microwave it. I just saute veggies (peppers, mushrooms, onions, asparagus, whatever) add spices (italian, spicy, whatever), turkey or chicken sausage cut up and then pour over eggs and egg whites with a bit of milk, sun dried tomato, and tiny bit of cheese (full flavored such as parm or romano) and bake until it's done (30-60 minutes depending on how thick it gets). I even freeze it.

    I have also premade/frozen breakfast "burritos" to heat up.

    I also sometimes make a pot of steel cut oatmeal and heat that up during the week. It keeps all week in the fridge. It will "gel up" and look a little gross but add some hot water and microwave and you'd never know it wasn't 'fresh"

    My other fave breakfast is plain greek yogurt + fruit.

    Or a turkey sandwich (why not?)

    My current favorite is egg muffins. Do you have access to a microwave at work? Pop these in for 35 seconds and done!

    1/2 cup of greek yogurt with fruit (blueberries, strawberries or bananas - or just honey), and a slice of toast with a little bit of Smart Balance Light (gluten free toast, but still :laugh: )

    I could eat this everyday (and usually do, lol). It keeps me fuller longer.

    Greek yogurt has tons of protein and doesn't require and "fixing". :) You can add some granola if you want to do some chewing. LOL. I do slim-fast shakes in the morning for the protein and I can drink them in my car on the way to school. You could also hard-boil some eggs and bring a peice of fruit.

    chobani greek fruit on the bottom yogurt (they have lots of flavors) & some nuts or granola, that may would work for you.

    I grab a cold hard boiled egg - a slice of whole gran bread with a bit of low sugar jelly- - Or - - half of a peanut butter & jelly sandwich on rye. Both filling and satisfying. At work I snack on a tangerine and a few pretzels (nothing kills your appetite like pretzels!):

    I usually have like a Slim Fast meal bar and banana for breakfast. Its the only thing that I have found that "stays" with me the longest without feeling hungry an hour later.

    This is a recipe that has saved me for breakfast. I make them on Sunday night for the week. I mixed them up by using whatever veggies I happen to have in the house...but I always use the spinach. Add onion, mushroom..whatever. Mix all ingredients ~ Spray foil muffin liners with pam and fill with mixture. Bake at 350 degrees about 20 or so minutes, until firm and slightly browned on top. Usually makes 8 cups, but if I add more veggies sometimes I get 10. You have two for breakfast and they are great. I heat them in the micro at work. You can add crushed red pepper if you like a bit of spice.


    Ingredients
    Sargento - 4 Cheese Mexican Cheese, (1/4 Cup)
    Generic - Egg Raw - Large, 1 large
    Raw - Egg Whites, 3 White
    Birds Eye - Frozen Cut Leaf Spinach, whole bag
    Peppers - Sweet, red, raw, 0.5 cup, chopped


    Calories Carbs Fat Protein
    Total: 540 25 23 42
    Per Serving: 135 6 6 11

    Oatmeal, hard boiled eggs, cereal, Peanut Butter and apples or banana on bread, yogurt with fruit and garnola, tuna fish and fruit, chicken salad and fruit, eggs in a mug with add veggies and cheese.

    Also saw a cool idea for making smoothie, get a big container of yogurt freeze in Muffin tin per serving size, cut fruit, weigh, take and put frozen yogurt and fruit in a freeze bag for 1 serving, label, freeze and take out of freezer when you want a smooth everything is weighed and measured so you just have to throw it in the blender and log it.

    I *always* eat breakfast at work. It's always pretty much the same thing everyday too:

    - 100 g fat free yogurt, 1/4 cup all bran buds, 1/4 cup quaker harvest crunch, 1/2 cup blueberries (211 cal). Bring them separately & mix 'em together - very easy to prepare the night before. OR

    - 1 Apple Cinnamon pita break breakfast pita with 1 tbsp 25% less fat peanut butter (270 cal). I pop the pita in the toaster here at work for a few minutes so it's nice & warm before I put the pb on it. OR

    - 1 package instant oatmeal with 1/2 cup blueberries (around 210 cal depending on the type of oatmeal. You can get some with added protein as well which will keep you full longer).
