Healthy Breakfast

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions for a QUICK and healthy breakfast. I don't have time to make anything and I often just end up grabbing a plain bagel on the way to work. I don't eat yogurt either. Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks.
LP

I'm no expert, but what about All Bran cereal. I actually find them yummy, and they are healthy. When I go to university. I wake up 35 mins b4 the bus comes, and get ready, and all, and still have time to sit for 5 mins and eat some cereal with low fat milk.
You could always your food at night, any sort of sandwich, turkey with cheese, or some fruits and veggies u can eat.

Yes, all you need is to wake up few mins b4 u usually do.
Sometimes i wake up like 6:02 instead of 6:05. It makes a great dif to me. I don't know, I get ready really fast, so I always have about 10 mins for food, sitting, and such b4 the bus picks me up.

Also, what I find very useful, is, well i assume you're a female, what I do is, set everything up b4 i sleep at night. vlothes (what i'll wear), bag, even the food i'll pick up with me to uni, and all. It's very time saving, and itdoesnt take me more than 20 mins to get things done.

If you do that, you'll find yourself in heaven. I'm an organized freak, so I don't know about you, but it does help a lot.

Two pieces of Whole-grain Wheatbread, and some Low Fat Wedge Cheese into a Sandwhich.

You should have time to make a Sandwhich at least, and the Wheat in your Bread will help to boost Low Bloodsugar. Plus you'll get a small insignificant amount of Fat, some good Protein, and some Calcium, and some minerals.

Unless you're Gluten / Wheat intolerant, this should be very pheasible.

have an orange/apple/banana with breakfast, they've got natural sugars, carbs and keep u alert the whole day

True, but one of two things occur from doing that.

Keeping you alert all day, is not necessarily the case, unless the
Sugars in Fruits have long lasting properties, which may or may not be the case.

Fruit is good, but there's no Protein there, which is just potentially harming muscle mass

Woops, bad, i mean have a fruit ALONG with ur breakfast.. for instance i have branflakes with low fat milk, crushed nuts for flavor (couple of peanuts n almonds) and a fruit, and some days i dont have a chance to eat anything for the rest of the day so this keeps me up n runnin

A great breakfast for me is 2 whole wheat eggo waffles with organic peanut butter and a banana. It's fast, fairly healthy and has your carbs, protein, and sugar.

Whoa, whole wheat waffles, yummy, i wish i could find those in area

whole wheat arabic bread with halloum cheese, a drizzle of olive oil and tomatoes also makes a delicious breakfast

What works for me is half a cup of instant oats in a microwave safe bowl, cover with water and nuke for 1 and a half minutes. Add a little bit of honey and low fat milk and sometimes sprinkle on some blueberries, grape nuts, or stir in a half scoop of protein powder (after nuking of course). Takes literally no time to make or eat and does me well till mid-morning snack time. I know instant oats aren't as good as slow cooking oats, but for me it works.

I'd stick with the P P mixed in, you'll get a much better Protein / Carbs combo yield, than Grapenuts or a few Blueberries will.

Otherwise your Breakfast might fluctuate daily by as much as 50-60+ Calories.

Especially as your Oatmeal and Honey, are not going to be exactly the same quantities no matter how precise you are, so you could allow for an additional fuctuation per day, of say 20 cals.

So that's potentally 80 cals difference between one day and the next, depending on what's added, and how your portions of Oatmeal and Honey worked out.

Good points Boss - for sure, protein powder is definitely a better choice. However, PP in oatmeal is a taste\texture that hasn't exactly grown on me

Just add water to the P P and drink afterwards.

Might even help to clean bits of stray Oatmeal out of your teeth
