I work from 6am to 430pm and we get 10 minute breaks at 8am, 10am, and 230pm with 30 minutes lunch at 12pm. I usually can't get Breakfast till 8 or 10 and have to kinda rush myself since I don't work at a desk and can't continue past break. So that pretty much ruins my entire food day if I get stuck.

If everything goes ok I have a good lunch and a wonderful rest of the day.

The only thing I can think of is getting up at 4am and having breakfast before work, but it's near impossible for me to get up that early.

Any suggestions? I work as a mechanic and have management and lead mechanics around all the time. So I can't really cheat on my break times.

I would just have a protein shake for breakfast or I'd eat something small on the way there then have protein on your 1st break to hold you over until lunch.

Oh man I hear ya. I'm a 40hr/week code monkey and most of the time I get so involved that I forget to take breaks.

I thought the same thing about the protein shake, but another protein option is individual containers of Greek yogurt. My two fav's are Chobani ff Greek with blueberry, and fage Greek yogurt with fruit on the side. If it is too sour for you, add in some truvia or Splenda to sweeten it up. It will help hold you over and is quick to eat.

If carbs allow, you could cook steel cut oat grouts for the week, pre pack in one cup containers, add blueberries and walnut pieces (if you can/like). A little sweetener, pop in the micro. Or another thought, how about a hard boiled egg?

jif makes snack size peanut butter on an apple or a couple of crackers at break..its also a good time to have your daily fruit.i would and have just gotten up earlier to get that in not fun but I needed it to work..
