I work strange hours. I usually don't eat breakfast. I drink an Instant Breakfast or Protein Smoothie on the way to work or take it with me and drink it at work as I start my day.

I used to get a bagel or donut on the way to work and depending on what time of day it is, I may have stopped for a burger.

Now it is Instant Breakfast or Smoothie. I always have trouble crawling out of bed so I do not like to get up any earlier than necessary. I need some ideas on quick things for breakfast. Also I usually eat my lunch at my desk while I work. So far I am doing well with lunches. I bring low cal microwave meals, instant cream of wheat or soup. I would like some suggestions.

I am looking for some ideas for quick simple and of course healthy meals.

I tried a little piece of break with peanut butter one day. Bad move!! Wow was that painful. Won't do that again!

I can see where it would be very easy to start eating the wrong foods and I want to avoid eating the wrong foods.

I eat the light and fit by dannon, its artificially sweetened, but I re-read the label and it does contain fructose... Sorry for any confusion.

Why did you give it up, sorry new and any and all info good for me to know.

Thanks,

Rick

Hey , i found if u take can chicken white meat drain it then add pickle relish with a little honey mustard or lite mayo

thats good on crackers and it is quick? Judie

I went on the web and looked for low carb recipes and found "flax seed" , sounds yuk but is good.

I have made up in advance, flax seed muffins, put them in the freezer, and are defrosted by the time i get to work. Also there is a recipe for flax meal peanut butter hot cereal and it is great, takes 3 minutes.

I could go on and on, but one more is a pizza, i make up in advance makes 8 servings, quick, freeze, take with you meal that is totally satisfying. That I found on lapbandtalk.com. If you can't find them let me know i will

get them for you.

I just boil several eggs at the beginning of the week, and then put them in little individual snack baggies in the fridge ready to grab. String cheese to grab on the go is good too (they have low-fat & fat-free, but I still like the regular!) There are also now little 100 calorie packs of almonds - regular and a cocoa-covered version.

I have the same issue, but during my 6 month nutrition I learned soooo much! I usually grab a weight watchers string cheese, cereal (dry to eat in /car) or english muffin or piece of toast and a fruit. If I don't have a cheese stick I will take a HB egg. With these items I can pack a breakfast ahead of time, and take it to eat on my way to work. Good luck!!!
