Can someone please give me so breakfast ideas??. I work 7a-7p and need some ideas as to what to eat soooooo early in the morning like around 6 am.

Well, since many of us with are tighter in the morning, my main meal is a chocolate protein shake blended with frozen strawberries, and then about 3 hours later I have a small bowl of steel cut oatmeal with a little protein powder mixed in. I just ordered some PB2 and PB2 with chocolate to try with my oatmeal. Eggs also work for me, while the don't for many other people.

I can't eat as soon as I wake up. My band just doesn't want to tollerate food. I usually start my day with 20 oz of Water with Crystal Light Peach Mango Green Tea mixed in it. Then I drink a cup of coffee (black) when I get to work and get settled (around 7).

Then I will eat my breakfast- this ranges. Since I don't have a stove to cook anything on it has to be done with a microwave or toaster. I also don't like eating the same thing every day so here are some of my go to breakfast:

Slim Fast High Protein shake (these are for days I am really tight or am not in the office, but on the road headed to meetings)

English Muffin with Peanut Butter

Bagel with Laughing Cow Cream cheese

Special K Cereal with 1% milk

Special K breakfast Sandwich (this are acutally good)

Oatmeal with some banana mixed in

All these are good and will hold me around 3-4 hours and since I nomrally eat it around 8-8:30 it works perfectly.

I just started useing PB2....very good stuff

What is PB2? On mornings that I go in to the office, I like to have a hard boiled egg. If I don't feel hungry first thing in the morning, that is an easy food to take along and eat at my desk. Otherwise, Kashi has some good high protein cereals. Add 2% milk to the go lean and you're at 260 calories and 21 grams of protein! Not a lot different than a protein drink made with milk, but I like some crunch in the morning. Going to try it this morning with almond/cocoanut milk, fewer calories, but less protein too.

Oh, forgot one more, cottage cheese! It's quick and good protein. I'll also eat leftover meat. had a delicious portion of leftover pork chop with BBQ sauce last week for breakfast! I always try to make breakfast a good protein meal, it holds me until lunchtime better. But also try to keep it under 300 calories.

PB2 is a dryed Peanut Butter.....85 % less fat in it....

Its in powder form and you mix it with a lil Water to the creamyness you like...or just add it to a smoothie or into oatmeal.......or plain yogurt...

Breakfast options I tend to enjoy

Inc teacup of fruit and yoghurt, I sprinkle some seeds, LSA or muesli for some fibre

Smoked salmon and few vegetables, or in a half mountain bread wrap with cream or cottage cheese and chives

I also make up mini frittatas in muffin tins, I've had them across all meal times.

Protein bars can be handy on the run, often I'm satisfied with half then eat the remainder as an afternoon snack

What is PB2 and where do u get it?

Powdered Peanut Butter, without the oil

netrition.com

I got mine at amazon....also GNC stores have it

I have begun to see pb2 in local grocery stores also near the peanut butter. I make a paste with warm water touch of salt and one trivia and have on crackers or banana.

Lately I've been having cottage cheese with fruit. I also love egg with grilled bell pepper , onions, and mushroom n a little cheese. Greek yogurt, oatmeal with water or fat free milk, 1 whole grain waffle with peanut butter n jelly, Apple with peanut butter)...I feel u I work 5am to 2 so I always pack a breakfast (7am), lunch (10am) n snack (usually right before I leave work). Packing my meals works out perfect for me.
