Best Breakfast Idea - What Works For You?



Recommended Posts

Whats tripping me up in my Quest to have DAILY on track meals is my rush out the door each morning. I need ideas for a grab and go meal that I can have. Im so bad that I end up going through a drive thru for a quick fix, which irritates my BF and makes me shamefully throw the rest of my day away.

I'd like to believe that I would wake up early, work out, and make a good high Protein Breakfast but so far that hasnt happened. What works for you?

P.s, while I love the Protein shakes and can do them every once in a while, I would like to CHEW my breakfast a couple of times a week! :D

i keep a couple of small baggies filled with almonds (about 23 almonds is a serving ) and a piece or 2 of O'bertos Turkey Jerky ( costco ) and 1/2 a chocolate Protein bar. Once every 2 weeks or so i make some hardboiled eggs. Grab the baggie as you run out the door and you'll have a quick , healthy breakfast. If you have time eat the egg or have some yogurt or 1/2 a banana. Good luck !

How about a low carb / low calorie wrap with smoked salmon and 0 fat cream cheese. Nice Protein hit and will fill u up for a while as its solid and not Liquid Protein ..

I make an egg cassarole of egg/egg whites, turkey bacon, low fat cheese and pour into a muffin tin, bake it and then I freeze them. Grab, zap in micro and go.

I put my meat and veggies in a muffin pan. I add eggs that have been mixed with half and half and some spices and pop the pan in the oven at 350 until the "quiches" are done and set.. I can ten freeze them and reheat my breakfast quiches each morning!!!

I eat Greek Yogurt every morning. I'll also have some fruit or a few pieces of turkey if I'm really hungry. I still struggle getting a veggie in with breakfast. I usually start off my day with a cup of tea then my liquid vitamins mixed with Bolthouse juice, so waiting 20 minutes usually puts me just arriving at work. I have a desk job and can eat at my desk. I don't really have a good "on-the-fly" meal solution, but the Greek Yogurt really helps keep me full.

I have a Protein Shake because my band is tight in the mornings. It loosens as the day goes on.

I just started eating plain Greek yoghurt with sliced banana, a little PB2 powder, and some drizzled honey. It is DELICOUS :) its a great filler and Protein source. You can add granola or blueberries. Either way it's really good.

I hear you on that. I started prepping/making my breakfasts before I go to bed, so then when I wake up, all I have to do is microwave it or mix it. oatmeal is quick and easy, as well as yogurt with some almonds or fruit, or even any egg dishes can be cooked.the night before and left in tupperware to re heat the next day. Hope this helps!

I bought a plastic two part dish that you put your egg in mix with a fork, a sprinkle of cheese on top and about 40 sec. in the microwave gives you a nice soft scrambled egg. Just rinse and wipe the cup out and you are done with breakfast and cleanup. I got it from Wall Mart for about 5 dollars, use it all the time.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
