Ok, let me preface this with, I know I could see my nutritionist, but I can't afford to see her right now. It cost me 300 bucks to see her, I'd rather spend my money on seeing my doctor monthly to checks.

I am having morning hunger issues. I get up about 5:15a and have to leave for work at 6:15a. I am NOT a morning person. I have eaten Cereal for years for Breakfast, but I find my one cup of cereal normally last till about 8:30. If I eat a snack then it still doesn't last me till lunch.

This morning I tried brining my breakfast with me to work and ate about 8, but I was hungry by 9:30. I wish I had the time and get up and go to cook eggs, I know the Protein would help, but I don't have the time and drive. I have a hubby to help get ready for work (He is blind- I pack his lunch and his work bag), and two dogs to deal with before I can leave.

Normally, if I can make it to lunch without eating the house down, I eat, and then I don't have any problems until about 4 when I will eat a hand full of nuts or an apple and that will hold me till 6 when we eat dinner and I don't have issues after that.

Any AM snack/breakfast ideas would be apprecated.

I made mini quiche on muffin tins and froze them. I then pull them out of the freezer and nuke it. It is quick and easy for on the go and super filling.

Making them with spinach adds to the chewing but mushrooms or asparagus tips would work too.

12 eggs

1/2 c ff shredded cheese ( like WW brand)

4 c chopped spinach (cooked and drained well)

1/3 c sautéed onions or raw chives

1/2 c. Shredded chicken or turkey sausage pre cooked and drained

1/3 c. Ff ricotta cheese

Dash of nutmeg

Salt if desired (if you salt the veggies first no need to add extra

Beat eggs well' date=' add other ingredients

Fill 12 muffin tins equally. ( make sure you spray them with Pam spray first!)

Bake at 375 for 20-25 min or until center is not soft (toothpick test)

Top with a small amount of shredded cheese when fresh out of the oven if desired.
