Breakfast ideas...

I'm not a morning person, so I need to "pack" my breakfast before I go to bed.

Oatmeal with PB2 (or peanut butter). Use a ceramic containier with a lid. Pour boiling water over rolled, or instant steel cut oats. Snap the lid on. By morning this is mostly pre-cooked. Heat 2:30, stir in PB2 or protein powder.

Measure 3/4 C Kashi Go Lean & 1 Tbl almonds. In the AM add 6 oz. Dannon Light & Fit & 1/4 C. rapsberries. This has 16.8 gm protein & 10.5 gm fiber for 247 calories.

Greek Yogurt & dry cereal ..... I pick a cereal with good fiber numbers, and eat it during the commute. I save the yogurt to eat at my desk.

You could prepare a breakfast casserole, portion it out and freeze it. Then just take one out in the morning a nuke it.

I take 2 boiled eggs to work and granola...that sorts me until the elvenses when i have a banana

Oatmeal
Boiled eggs
Greek yogurt
Bagel thins with Laughing Cow cheese

Nuke a few eggs along with some veggies, cheese, whatever you want in the microwave in a mug and make yourself an Egg McMuffin with an english muffin. It only takes a minute or so for the egg to cook in the microwave and voila, instant breakfast.

I'm totally guilty of eating in the car... but here is my awesome breakfast that I've gotten hooked on: bran cereal, frozen (defrosted overnight in the fridge) blueberries, and almond milk. It's super low in calories, but keeps me going until lunch. Bran cereal can be super boring, but the blueberries add the natural sugar that makes it oh-so-yummy!

Just two sort of vague suggestions,
1) Breakfast doesn't have to hold you to lunch necessarily. I don't know if you are against snacking but sometimes eating smaller meals more frequently can be more satisying than eating three larger meals less frequently

2) Breakfast food doesn't have to be eggs, oatmeal, etc. I heat up my leftovers from dinner and eat those for breakfast all the time

I microwave eggs whites and frozen turkey sausage. It's very tasty And filling!

I make a home version of an Egg McMuffin at home and then bring it to work and nuke it for a couple of seconds to warm it up. I use 35 calorie bread, Oscar Mayer ham lunch meat (4 slices is 50 calories and I usually only use 1) and a piece of american cheese. About 285 calories and keeps me full until lunch.

I make my green monster for breakfast.

2 Servings:

1 individual container greek yogurt
1 cup almond milk
1 banana
1 cup strawberries
2 cups fresh baby spinach
handful of ice cubes

Mix it up in a blender and it tastes just like a strawberry/banana smoothie.

VANILLA ALMOND PROTEIN BAR
1/3 cup Body Fortress whey protein powder, 1 scoop vanilla flavor (I use Body By Vi)
1/2 ounce almonds, finely ground
2 teaspoons coconut flour
2 teaspoons granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
3 teaspoons water

Mix the first 3 ingredients in a small bowl. Add the granular Splenda, if using. In another small bowl, mix the liquid Splenda, if using, with 2 teaspoons of the water. Add 2 teaspoons of the water to the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon until it is as well mixed as possible. Add up to 1 more teaspoon of water if necessary and work this in with your hands. Don't be tempted to add more water no matter how dry it seems. The more water you add, the sticker the bar will be and the worse it will stick to your teeth. The dough will eventually come together when you firmly knead it by squeezing it into a ball in your hand. The consistency will be very stiff like modelling clay. Shape into a bar. This will keep pretty well at room temperature but I would keep it out of extreme heat.

Makes 1 serving

VARIATION: Replace 1/4 teaspoon of the water with a flavoring extract of your choice.

Since you have a microwave, what about instant oatmeal? I use a whole grain oatmeal from Quaker Oats that is really filling.
