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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
