I'm looking for ideas for whole food breakfasts that are easy on the calories but keep you full all morning long. PLUS they need to be easy to take to work! When I say "whole food" I mean not processed food. No poptarts, frozen sausage sandwiches, etc.
Thanks for sharing!

I go to the gym most mornings before work, so every night before I go to bed I fill a little tupaware tub with:
150g - ish of 0%fage Greek yoghurt (around 100 cals, and the protein in it keeps you really full!) A couple of chopped strawberries/blueberries 6 walnut halves 2table spoons of oats Then I mix it all up, the oats swell up over night, the fruit sweetens the yoghurt and it keeps hunger locked up till lunch! Also, if I think it's gonna be a long stretch till lunch il put in more oats and nuts! Also means I can just grab it from the fridge on my way to the gym and then I have it when get into work :)

I usually have fruit shakes,smooties put them in plastic cups and drink them on the way to work. Boiled egg will keep you full forever, and if i wake up with sweet tooth i eat apple and penaut butter.
good luck! |

I have Greek yogurt most mornings. Sometimes, if I can get up early for it, I'll have a scrambled egg and tea. This week I made banana bread with oats and walnuts that came out to about 170 calories a slice, and that's been delicious.

grease a tupperwear container...combine all ingredients into greased container
2 eggs half a bell pepper 3 button mushrooms 1 stick of Freybe's orginal pepperoni stick shredded cheese 1/2 avacado 1/4 black beans Throw it in the microwave with a lid for 2 minutes, throw some hot sauce on top and TADAAA!!! When I eat this, I'm not even hungry when lunch rolls around. This is my every day breakfast at work...sometimes I'll put bacon instead of pepperoni, or lunch meat, mix up the veggies, maybe throw in some green onion...i also really like putting some taco spice in there.

Hardboiled eggs. They are very easy to prepare beforehand and they last for a week.

Fry up a bit of ham or turkey breast cold cut in just a drip of oil, paprika and spice of the day.
Make an thin plain omelet with two eggs. Place turky or ham, add a couple of tablespoons of salsa (so good and so low in calories). Roll up wrap style or fold over like a pita. Eat or take with you in a Tupperware container. Super easy to eat anywhere with just a fork or a spoon. Add half avocado if your calories allow. Replace ham/turkey with lean ground turkey sometimes.

Meanwhile having a sliced whole apple or whole pear to crunch(or any other fruit). Avoid processed food (Fat-free, Enriched, Processed, w Sugar, Added !@##@) at any cost! With home brewed coffee with powdered milk(this is slightly harmful!) ... :)

I usually am rushing to work so I'll either put a few eggs in my x-express and let that make an omelet while i get ready.
Or 1 slice of whole wheat with a tablespoon of natural organic peanut butter and half a banana sliced on top :)

I usually make a lowfat egg sandwich that I wrap in foil and bring to work. First I toast a whole wheat sandwhich thin by "brownberry". I spray it with "I can't believe its not butter spray" when done toasting. Then I cook 1 large egg in "Pam" spray over hard, in a skillet. Lastly, I put the egg on the whole wheat thin with a slice of fat free "borden" sharp chedder cheese slice. I wrap the sandwhich up and I'm ready to go! This takes less than 10 minutes and it holds me all the way until lunch. It is 200 calories. I hope this helps.
