During the week I prepare something simple. Whole grain toast with avocado, seeet peppers, eggs or cottage cheese with fruit. On the weekend I make more elaborate breakfast!
I always eat a big bowl of oatmeal with soy milk, peanut butter, ground flax seeds and a small banana which sums up to about 1000 calories.
I live in a residence hall and have a meal plan so I don’t have to prepare my meals. However I usually eat at the same time as I study or check my emails or do work, which takes up about three hours of my day.
It all depends on the day of the week, what commitments I have and what the kids test me with in the morning! No matter what I will always sit at the kitchen table with my youngest whether it be for 5, 10 or 20 minutes.
I normally go with a breakfast of 2 eggs with a coffee and slice of whole grain bread. This way I am full until lunch and not extremely over fed so I don’t fall asleep. I think everything takes less than 8 mins including eating. This also gives me a little breather in the fast pace morning.
I typically try to meal prep for the week/morning on Sunday or the night before. Sometimes that doesnt happen. This morning I’m having a bagel with peanut butter and honey and a banana! One thing I’ve found helps for breakfast is just always keeping fruit you like on hand. But typically I’m more of a small breakfast kind of person, with a healthy snack a few hours later.
It depends really. On weekdays or basically on busy days, I don’t want to stress myself out with a big breakfast. So a quick breakfast is the choice. But I make time for big breakfasts too. Cooking is quite therapeutic for me sometimes. So I take time to cook and then take time to enjoy the food too. Maybe in front of a good view if possible. I do this kind of breakfast on weekends when I am more free. We all need that leasurely meal time sometimes so I give time for it. But on busy days, I don’t stress it out, as long as I have a quick but decent breakfast, I am good.
Quick and small. Usually just a protein shake or cereal that is high in protein and low in sugar. Save the big full breakfast for the weekends
I prepare a quick and small breakfast. I was never one for eating breakfast so I find that a small one is helping me on my path rather than trying to force myself to eat a big one. So I normally have fruit or porridge in the morning. But I do have a snack at 10:00 to keep my energy levels up.
I would love to have time for a big full breakfast but I don’t. I satisfice with a store-bought breakfast shake in a box. (Up’n Go by Sanitarium.) Its not a deal but its better than nothing. 🙂
