    I am also in a rush to get out the door in the AM. I always grab a plain fat free greek yogurt and mix with 1 package of truvia and fresh fruit (usually strawberries and blueberries but sometimes red grapes).... If I'm out of fruit, I will throw in some unsalted almonds. Adds a nice crunch to the yogurt! Greek yogurt is really high in protien, so it keeps you full for a while. If I get hungry, I usually have midmorning snack - hardboiled egg, nuts, or another peice of fruit.

    YOU'LL LOVE THIS!

    OK what I do the night before is make myself a breakfast wrap/burrito. I use a low carb tortilla that's usually 120 calories. 2 egg whites (I use a fat free spray for the pan), and low fat cheese. The cool part is you can load it up with all kinds of veggies too! I like to add mushrooms, onions, green peppers and a bit of salsa :) I just wrap it up in foil the night before, then bring it to work, wrap in a paper towl and microwave. Because of the protien in the egg whites, combined with the carbs in the tortilla it usually keeps me full until lunchtime.

    Tortilla: 120 calories
    Egg Whites: 34 calories
    1/8 cup of light cheese: 40 calories
    Veggies: 0
    That's only 194 for a filling breakfast!! you can't go wrong :D

    I also eat breakfast at work. Usually I make oatmeal with almond milk and nuts and add protein powder. The protein makes a big difference in the fullness factor. Half a scoop is perfect, it doesn't mess with the consistency or taste but I'm not hungry again by 10 am. Hard boiled eggs are great and easy. I'll boil 5 at the beginning of the week and have one each day. You could also do yogurt and granola with fruit (be careful to read the labels on yogurt- a lot of it is really processed also and contains high fructose corn syrup). Sometimes on the weekend I make a batch of apple pie breakfast (search "apple pie breakfast" in the forums for the recipe) and package it into individual containers I can bring to work. It's really tasty and only 115 calories a serving. Whole wheat toast with peanut or any other nut butter would and sliced banana would be good also. If you like granola bars, consider maybe a handful of nuts and dried fruit. Basically the same stuff, just not smashed into a bar and held together with sugar and other not so good for you fillers.

    Protein shake! Mine are so very yummy!

    Just this morning I mixed one cup of milk, one small banana and a scoop of my chocolate protein powder. I mixed it in about 10 seconds in my magic bullet and headed out the door. I drank it on my drive to work. I usually can't eat that early, but drinking it didn't feel too bad. That held me through until my first snack.

    Oh also, I love the 'Dieters Dream' bread...I think it's called Healthy Life. It's only 70 calories for 2 slices. So what I do is make myself a peanut butter sandwhich and add like a half of banana to it (you can use jelly too, but you get more full off of a banana). The protien in the peanut butter combined with the banana keeps you full longer. Depending on what brand of peanut butter you use, it's on average 300 calories, which isn't bad for breakfast.

    I usually eat breakfast at work also. I will make a breakfast on Sunday and slipt it up individually for each day of the week. I will do stuff like Veggie Fattata, Egg Scrambles with Spinish and mushrooms, Fruit Parfiats made with greek yogurt or Cottage Cheese, Oatmeal, Fruit and Nuts.

    The other day, I had a few minutes before I left the house...

    I toasted one Oroweat Sandwich Thin. I took my nonstick pan, sprayed it with a little zero-calorie spray, heated it up to medium heat, scrambled one egg with a little salt, pepper, a little hot sauce, and (lol) Kroger brand "Hispanic Blend" shredded cheese (any shredded cheese would work, though, even non-racist types).

    I let the egg cook and then folded it in half like a small omelette. Cut it with the spatula to fit on the sandwich thin, and ate it like that. It was amazing and about 150-200 calories, and it took less than 5 minutes to make. If you had the sense to chop up some onions, bell pepper, or mushrooms the night before, that could go in with the egg too.

    In addition, It only takes about four minutes to microwave a piece of bacon (lots of paper towels underneath), break it in half, and it fits right on top of the breakfast sammich for about 240 calories.

    Keeps you full for a long time, quick to make, and it is super yummy.

    I eat breakfast at work also. I made a bunch of muffins over the weekend and threw them in the freezer in individual baggies. The night before work I put it in the fridge to thaw and grab it in the morning. Sometimes I warm it up in the microwave at work, but they're yummy if I don't too.

    I eat breakfast at my desk as well. I sometimes will make some low fat scones, either fruit in them or sometimes a bit of ham and cheese. I also keep rice cake thins and peanut butter handy, and I also will have a meal replacement shake sometimes. Not as good as chewing my food, but filling enough to last till lunch
    Edited to add: There was also a recipe for banana bars on here once that I printed off, they are really good too!
