Busy Breakfast

While I was there I had a scheduled diet because of the chow hall that was offered. Now that I am home, and my schedule is way different, I am finding it very difficult to find nutritional food for the early morning. I leave to workout at 5:00am and then its off to work. I do not have access to a kitchen so I am depending on prepared foods. Any ideas? For now I am eating lean lunchmeat sandwiches. Is there other things I should consider? Thanks in advance for the advice.

But if you don't have access to a blender and you just need a shake in a packet to mix with water try Labrada Lean Matrix or Myoplex. You will get more variety with the ready to mix as opposed to the ready to drink. Male sure you pick a meal replacemnet with good carbs like oats in it - the labrada ones do, and tri-o-plex bars do. -------------- Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think.
