I gave up my morning drive-thru coffee and donut/muffin/egg sandwich/whatever and I’ve lost 6lbs in just a week or so. I switched to black coffee and a protein bar, but I’m sure the bar isn’t good for me long term.
Healthy lunches and dinners are easier than breakfast on the go. What can I quickly prepare in the morning or ahead of time that is healthy and filling? |
Hardboiled eggs. |
1 hard boiled egg won’t fill me up. I did have one for lunch today on low-fat Italian bread with a tiny bit of Mayo. It held me pretty well. |
Egg cups. Overnight oats. Whole wheat English muffin with peanut butter and banana. |
Oatmeal. |
You lost 6 lbs in a week?! That's insane.
I'm wondering about this too though. My favorite breakfast is toast with cheese. I leave so early that even if I eat at home I'm hungry by 9 AM. What's portable and satisfying? |
So eat 5 hardboiled eggs. The bread and Mayo are poison |
Not at all an on the go food. |
Also not healthy—full of antinutrients and glyphosate |
McDonald's sausage egg, and cheese McMuffins.
2fer $5 Eat healthy latter at lunch and dinner. |
You should stop watching TikTok and listing to lunatics like Paul saladino. |
My go-to breakfasts when I commuted were hard boiled eggs, hot oatmeal with fruit, yogurt with fruit. |
So my honest answer is I skip breakfast. But when I have it, I have 2 hardboiled eggs and (later, not together) a whole wheat toast with peanut butter. |
Make an egg bake or egg muffins with lots of spinach, peppers, mushrooms, onions, some milk and cheese. Or leave out the cheese to cut more calories. I put some sausage in mine but you could leave that out too or just use a little for taste. Once you make them it's easy to grab one or two and go and eat on the run. |
Thanks for the tips!
I should have mentioned I can’t eat peanut butter. Apparently PB is a common ingredient for many “easy,” “low-fat/high protein” recipes. I’m sticking with my protein bar for the rest of the week and I’ll try something new this weekend. I weighed myself this morning, and I’ve plateaued despite really watching my calories, etc. and exercising. I can’t cut intake any further. Sigh. |
