Breakfast ideas

[Magic Microbe]

I need some low cal breakfast ideas that I can make ahead of time and then heat up (or not) and eat on my way to work. They need to be something I can eat in my car so no utensils needed (as this is my habit and I doubt it will change). I often eat hard boiled eggs or toast but I need some new ideas.

[witchypoo]

go to the king arthur flour website and look for their recipe for morning glory muffins.

I've been thinking of posting something similar. I often eat two hard boiled eggs and 22 almonds. It's very satisfying. Also a banana if I have one

What about breakfast burritos? They can be calorie bombs, but if you sautée a bunch of veggies with the eggs and go light on the cheese or skip it altogether they could be a good option that could be made ahead.

[JBM]

Or make some sort of baked casserole Those are easy to eat. I've diced up and cooked chicken sausage, peppers, onions etc and then put them in a dish with 8-10 beaten eggs and baked with layer of cheese. You can do ham and whatever veggies you want. I should do that next week actually.

Overnight oats in a mason jar?

I need to be able to eat while driving.

That's not very safe. Just get up10 mins earlier and eat breakfast at home, or office.


Lately it's been 120 grams of cottage cheese topped with 50 grams of partially puréed frozen mango and 15 grams of sliced almonds for dh who's watching his diet. I started eating it too and found it very satisfying. It takes less than 10 mins to prep and eat.

It isn't going to happen. I know myself.

You can make little egg "muffins" using a muffin pan. There are many recipes out there on the Internet.

I have actually made those quite often. I just need to find a way to make them not stick so badly. They destroy my pan.

Would cupcake liners make it better or worse? I'm sure cleanup would be easier, but they might make it harder to actually eat the muffins.

[seattlegirl]

I might try getting a silicone muffin tin for those.

Either a silicone muffin pan or maybe they make silicone muffin cups, either one should help with sticking.

I tried that.

DON'T DO IT!

You can't get the damn paper off the eggs because they are too juicy. I think the aluminium ones would work though.

[JBM]

Line the cup with a slice of ham or turkey and then fill it with the egg. Or make what I suggested in a rectangular dish and cut squares. I spray w Pam first.

I have silicone baking cups.

[wombleatwimbledon]

Do you like smoothies? I prep the night before and then stick in the fridge. All I have to go next morning is blend it for a couple of mins and it's done? I put rolled oats, banana, berries of some sort and milk.

Homemade granola bars or I make homemade Lara type bars. You can make a batch on the weekend and eat them all week for breakfast, though not sure how filling that would be.

Those are too high cal for me. Plus I despise Lara bars...probably because I hate nuts.

180 calories?

[caribougrrl]

when I have breakfast in the car, it is probably a latte

[caribougrrl]

one of my favourite breakfasts is chinese tea eggs... you could totally eat a couple of those in the car

This is me. Either that or a swing by McD's window for a couple of egg burritos. I think there's no real healthy alternative to eating breakfast not sitting down unless it's shake of puréed kale and beets. I'd rather tough it out til lunch time than scarf something down like that in the car.

[Magic Microbe]

I usually eat some berries and a piece of toast or a hard boiled egg, or special k bar. Or sometimes i put some cereal in a bag and eat it like a toddler. But I am bored of all that other than the berries.

[Run Amok]

Think thin bars are not bad and very filling.

[srsly]

ONce upon a time, I had coffee with protein powder mixed in. It was yum believe it or not.

[Natasha]

Avocado toast. Scrambled egg on toast with hot sauce.

Y'all are making me hungry!!

I've made the egg muffins things with the muffin tins lines with ham. They come out beautifully. I had a non-stick pan, if that makes a difference.

How about breakfast sandwiches? You can buy liquid eggs in a carton. Pour about 2 oz in a ceramic ramekin and microwave for about 2 min or so. Plop that on an English muffin with a slice of cheese and ham. Wrap and go. About 5 min from start to finish. You can make a few ahead of time and heat in the toaster oven or microwave.  If you like sausage, you can put a frozen sausage patty right on top of the raw eggs and cook it together.

These look good. I'm sure you can customize the flavors. If you don't like certain things, sub it out.

I sometimes buy the WW ones.

But they are more cals than I need to be consuming for breakfast.

[triciaflower]

Could you use low-cal flat bread rounds or those bagel thins? Maybe egg whites. Just thinking out loud here.

[caribougrrl]

what about making pancakes and freezing them, toast as needed?

you can put anything into a pancake...  I dislike sweet pancakes so tend to make them savory...  I'm particularly fond of making them with yellow thai curry, salad shrimp and spinach in the batter... you can increase protein content by subbing some of the flour for ground legumes (chick pea flour, lentil flour, etc.) or nut flours...

[Ice Cream]

2 slices of low cal bread with light laughing cow cheese and spinach leaves in between?  (Or maybe this is your idea of lunch, but I do not like the sweet options above very much.)

[hally]

What time do you arrive at work? I eat my oatmeal, greek yogurt, berries and banana concoction when I get here usually around 9. I am pretty hungry by then since I've been since 5:30 and ran too but it's worth it because I enjoy it.

9:30 or 10. It is unpleasant to eat at work because we can't eat at our desks.

What time do you leave the house?

A healthy baked oatmeal would be good to eat on the move. I am sure you could find a low point/calorie recipe on Skinny Taste or something similar. But note that I find nothing wrong with a 350 to 400 calorie breakfast. Gotta fuel the engine after fasting from the night before.

8 or 8:30 but I can't do oatmeal. I eat on my short drive to the train station. I keep my breakfasts under 200 cals.

Can't remember, has drinkable yogurt been suggested already?

[Run Amok]

I made this this morning it's as easy and tasty as advertised
