i have a cereal called Go Lean... it has 13g of proting and 7g fiber... which i consider as good numbers... also the sugar is pretty low...

Breakfast doesn't have to be breakfast food. you could have anything you like that would provide you with some protein, complex carbs and fiber.

Some easy at-the-desk meals:

Mix some low-fat yogurt into your cereal. Pick a cereal that is high in fiber. add a little dried fruit, if you like it. In the morning you can afford (and actually need) some fast carbs like fruit.

Low-fat cottage cheese with peaches or pineapple, or an apple. maybe a small handful of almonds.

wasa krisp, spread with lowfat laughing cow cheese and a few slices of deli ham or proscuitto, an apple sliced.

Rice cakes or wasa crisp with natural peanut butter, orange sections or a low sodium v-8 juice.

Cut up mixed melon, cheese cubes, triskets or rye crisps.


A small, whole wheat bagel with ham and cheese or whatever you like spread on it, low-fat cream cheese, nuts.. lox..something with some protein.

Or a small bran muffin and a protein shake.

You could prepare some breakfast burritos ahead of time and re-heat them at work....

I guess I could keep going, but you get the picture.
