What do you guys and ladies do for weekday breakfast? I've been doing 2 Nature Valley breakfast bars about 6am when I leave the house and a bananna or something about 9am or so at work whenever I get hungry. Problem is, the bars are loaded with carbs and sugar. With my new job being way more desk than shop now, this ain't working. I have only gained a few pounds (less than 10) in the 5 months I've been here but most days I feel like I've hurt myself at the local Mexican Buffet on free beer night. Looking into the low carb / high protein breakfast route, but not looking for something that takes 30 minutes to fix everyday either. What y'all do?


Thanks
Jason

Boil a dozen eggs. Eat 3 in the morning with your choice of meat. Sausage, bacon, bologna or what ever.

I have been eating 10-15 carrots for breakfast and a few handfuls of sunflower seeds, so by lunch I am starving, if you go to Walmart they sell atkins breakfast bars that only have 3-4 carbs in them, they have a couple different kinds of breakfast bars, they keep them by the Pharmacy.

You could also boil some eggs and eat a couple for breakfast, boil them on Sunday night and eat them all week...

I make eggs or a protein smoothie every morning. It doesn’t take but 10 minutes to brown some conecuh and scramble a few eggs.

Generally an egg or two...boiled, over easy or scrambled and sausage, bacon or ham. High protein low carb....if I have fresh tomatoes I slice up a tomato too,

A bowl of Cherrios with fresh strawberries cut up mixed in almost every day.

I just got finished cooking 3 Tennessee Pride patties and 3 boiled eggs because I won’t have time in the morning. Then I’ll slip some no carb cheese in, some jalapeños on the plate for flavor, and maybe a couple of my low carb spicy pickles.

Coffee, oatmeal, and Myoplex.

Thanks Y'all. Definitely not looking for nothing that'll "stay with ya" as this new job has me sitting alot instead of up burning calories wide open. I can't hardly do milk/cereal most days, its gotten to where lactose messes me up at times. I fried some bacon tonight, then chopped and sauteed some onion and green bell pepper, cracked some eggs, added some cheese and a dash of Zatarans. Mixed it all together and poured it into a muffin pan and baked them. We'll see how they are in the morning.

I cook 3 strips of Wright brand bacon and 2 fried eggs every morning

I can't drink milk any more as well. I use lactose fat free milk. I know it isn't any where near the same as milk but it works for me. Some times I use Musle Milk instead and is really good for me any way.

You could cut your carbs and calories in half by only eating one nature valley granola bar every morning. Save some money too.

You got more will power than me.
No way I could cook sausage and eggs and wait 12 hours to eat them.

big bowl of cheerios multigrain & then mid-morning a small protein bar

My 5 day a week office breakfast is microwaved oatmeal with a handful each of blueberries, almonds, & walnuts thrown in. Most days it gets me to lunch & the days it doesn't I'll eat a pack of crackers as a snack around 9 or 9:30 am.

I have a Mountain Dew in the morning and eat lunch at 11

Pardon? Are you a rabbit? 15 carrots?

Lately it’s been a sun drop and a pinch of snuff. Need to start eating a healthy breakfast in the mornings though.

I can't eat anything for breakfast. Lunch and dinner and that's it

Oatmeal and Diet Dew. Every day.

Usually just coffee.

A Red Bull and some kind of gut grenade biscuit from the convenience store

protein shake, 2 scoops whey protein and milk

Well the baby carrots... I am usually starving by lunch...

4am = glass of milk or OJ,2x Biscuits with organic honey on each,2x bacon,1x egg with gravy 1 morning then grits the next morning and finally with oatmeal the next morning and start rotation over again. Then about 2.5hrs after that 1 banana with a tangerine or strawberry/blueberries and a protein shake. By 11am I'm starving ahs ready for lunch.

All the experts say you should eat breakfast.
But if I eat breakfast I'll actually be more hungry by lunch time.
When I skip breakfast I can have one sandwich for lunch and be good til supper.

same here. and the only time i'm hungry early for lunch is after a huge supper. I think its something about stretching your stomach out.

Black coffee and water from 4:30 till around 2. I eat my lunch I bring to work at 9. Maybe a pack of crackers or some peanuts at 2.

Cliff Bar and a Diet Coke; office or tree stand

Carbs and sugar are bad, but you definatly need to stay away from processed food that have preservatives like sodium nitrite in it. Try and find a local processor that sells fresh sausage and bacon. They tell me Publix sells bacon and sausage with no preservatives. Preservatives kill your testosterone levels and are linked to cancer. My doctor told me to eat like my grandparents did. They didn't have preservatives in everything back in the 50's and 60's, and even the 70's. Fresh fruit, fresh veggies, fresh meat. Deer better watch their ass this year.

After years of cereal (Cheerios, corn Chex, Raisin Bran) and an apple or banana every morning, I’d gotten tired of my stomach growling by 10. This summer I started getting up 10 minutes earlier and now eat a combination of 3-5 scrambled eggs, deer sausage, bacon, advocado on some healthy grain bread, Greek yogurt topped with fresh strawberries or blueberries and a handful of almonds or walnuts. Mental
And physical energy is way up during the workday since I started eating this way.
