Breakfast suggestions?

jcannuck Posts: 210 Joined: 2004/01/31	2004/02/11, 10:13 AM Hey everybody, anybody have any good, quick, first meal of the day solutions? It's been hard enough for me to even start eating first thing in the morning, let alone spending any time in the kitchen getting something ready. Is there anything I can whip up the night before and just re-heat? My job forces me to travel almost every day, and anything high in protein and portable would be the perfect fit.

Perhaps slicing a banana or fresh fruit of any kind into it ups the nutrition value. Or also try making a smoothie with jogurt and fruit....any kind that you like...all it takes is throwing a few things into a blender and you got an instant b-fast. These are just my suggestions and things that work for me on those hectic mornings.

Mix eggs into a bowl (how ever many you need). Pour eggs into the pan once done mixing (the pan should be hot enough). Spread eggs out across the pan thinly so they cook evenly and quickly (just pick up the pan and move the eggs around). Wait for a minute and your done. I like to roll the egg up after its cooked, so it takes less space on my plate. -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do.

I will look for the recipe and paste it in.... Also, if you have a slow cooker (crockpot) you can put your oats and stuff in it in the evening and let it cook on low overnight. Low carb tortillas and scrambled eggs with lowfat cheese makes a quick breakfast. Protein shakes are the fastest, either in the blender or in a shaker. Peanut butter on whole grain toast is good. An apple, some lowfat cheese and some sliced luncheon meat (wrap the cheese and meat in a low-carb tortilla or have them on whole grain bread). Breakfast doesn't have to be breakfast food. Eat what is easy and portable for you , as long as it fits into your healthy eating plan. -------------- "To be able to go to the gym and train hard is a joy and a privelege, even though the hard work necessitates driving yourself through considerable discomfort.

Takes me ten minutes with cleanup.

Then toast up a Whole wheat or Multi grain Bagel, and Voila..quick and Dirty Meal with lots of complex Carbs and protien ;)
