Needing Breakfast ideas



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I was wondering what you do for a quick Breakfast on the go. I am working on my masters, and really do not have much time in the mornings before classes to eat a big breakfast.

What are some of your ideas?

I have been banded for 9 months, and the Protein Shakes have gotten old. I use to mix vanilla with some fruit, milk and ice.

Please help!!

I enjoy a prepacked non-fat Greek yogurt with fruit already mixed in. Add just a little granola and it's yummy!

  • 8oz glass of milk, 1/2 C Cereal (Special K high Protein or Fiber One Raisin Bran)
  • Yogurt with 1/2 c Fiber One mixed in
  • 1 egg + 1 slice turkey bacon + 1 slice american cheese on toasted Arnolds sandwich thin = yummy egg sandwich
  • Oatmeal

Every morning I have a Pure Protein bar and pre-packaged Kashi Go Lean Crunch cereal (either one or the other) when I am on the run. Aitkins and Myoplex Lite bars also work when I don't have time for a real sit down Breakfast.

I also cook up a pot of steel cut oatmeal and after cooked add raisins and Splenda. I put in individual freezer containers and freeze. Always ready and convenient to throw in the microwave.

I too need "on the go" breakfasts. I DO NOT eat yogurt. I have tried every brand, flavor and concoction out there and do not like it. So that is a problem. I am so jealous that you guys eat bread like things. I have not tried and am afraid that if it goes down ok, I will have a whole other issue to deal with. eggs don't pack well, not cleared for cereal. I was having 2 laughing cow (light) wedges on melba toast, but that does not have enough Protein or substance, though I like that a lot.

Any suggestions will be welcomed!

Thanks Hale for letting me tag on your post.

I just tried Jimmy Dean D-Lights and they are delicious. I too am in college and live in the dorms, so my breakfast on-the-go options are pretty limited. These you just pop in the microwave for a minute or two and they turn out delicious. Sometimes I eat half before class and then the other half after. They pack plenty of Protein and keep you full for a while. With 18 grams of protein, 29 carbs, and under 300 calories, they are pretty healthy. Not to mention they taste good.

How about making a breakfast borrito the night before and in the morning you can nuke it for a miniute and run out the door.

1 small south beach diet tortilla

scrambled agg whites / no fat cheddar

2 slices of turkey bacon

wrap it in surran and you are ready to go the next morning! Plan ahead!

I also like whole oatmeal...just soak it in no fat milk or yogurt overnight in a tupperwear, by morning its tender and yummy, eat it cold or hot...no "cooking" required!

Starbucks banana chocolate Vivano shake (270 cal.)

Chick-fil-a order of scrambled eggs (you can add a cup of fruit if you need it)

Microwave scrambled eggs (I love these)

Drinkable yogurt (my fav)

Cranberry orange breakfast barley. I make it one weekends and it keeps for about a week in fridge. Just microwave and eat.

Depending on how my band is behaving in the morning, I eat eggs. Takes just a few to fry them up and get them down. Kinda like slider food, but it sticks. If my band is being bad and wont let me get down fried eggs, I nuke them, the more rubbery texture slides easier. Toss on some mozzie or cheddar cheese and I'm good until past lunch time, almost to snack time

Jachut, I just found Greek yogurt and I love it!!! It's so mouse like and I have added my own flavoring to it and also use it in replace of sour cream.

Someone mentioned oatmeal.. And I just wanted to add that you can mix your Protein Powder in it.

I'm an Oatmeal person myself, Never liked it pre banding but I do now as I've gotten use to it also the kashi go lean hot cereal. If I have time I'll do egg beaters omlet w/lowfat cheese but that's more of a weekend thing and I can never eat more then half, Which really makes the dogs happy.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
