    I always eat my breakfast at work. Here are three or four things I have done:

    You can make a batch of those "egg muffins" that are mentioned under the recipes forums section. You can freeze them individually and heat them in the microwave.

    I made homemade eggmcmuffins. Bought a little plastic microwave dish for making the egg at Walmart. Put the english muffin in the toaster oven with the canadian bacon and a 2% cheese slice.

    Instant oatmeal, with apples, cinnamon, and two splendas. Cook the apples with the instant oatmeal. I buy a bag of those pre-sliced apples and cut up three slices into my oatmeal before I cook it. You can do the old-fashioned oatmeal in the microwave too. I did that this morning.

    Eat half a whole wheat bagel thin with peanut butter on it. I use the all-natural Jif which a lot of people don't like because they don't think its healthy, but you can make your own peanut butter in the food processor with a drop of oil.

    I practically have a pantry in my desk at work. LOL

    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.

    YUMMMMMM! What a great idea. I think I will do this one! Thanks!!!

    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?)

    You must be eating at my house :)

    There are some great ideas in this thread! Since I've had my lapband surgery, I find I can't eat solid food early in the AM. So I make a cup of Swiss Miss Sugar-Free Hot Cocoa and put a scoop of Unjury Classic Chocolate protein powder into it. That gives me 22 grams of protein and it really tastes great. I drink that on the way to work and am very satisfied until late morning.

    Not sure where you are based, but here in the UK we have instant porridge cups that just require boiling water. They have a bit of skimmed milk powder in to make them taste creamy, and some come with fruit flavours/cinnamon/golden syrup etc. They are my go-to breakfast for preparing at work as I'm always near a kettle and there's nothing to wash up afterwards! (Other than a spoon, obviously!) Plus porridge is a great breakfast, it's filling, slow-release and low in fat. Hope this helps :)

    *edited to add brands you can look out for: "Oats So Simple" and "One Oaty Goodness"

    Here is a good idea for breakfast or snack!

    1/4 cup quick oats
    1 egg (sub. 1/4 egg beaters for less calories)
    small handful of blueberries
    little bit of brown sugar/stevia (optional)
    tbsp soymilk or regular milk(for added moistness!)

    Mix it all up into a coffee mug!
    Put it in the microwave for 1 minute, make sure it doesn’t overflow! Add an extra 30 sec if it needs to firm up.
