Meal Ideas: Breakfast on the Go

It sometimes gets a little difficult to eat a healthy and fulfilling breakfast when on the go. Between work, school, and taking care of my little man I sometimes find it hard to get in breakfast. When I do get around to eating it, I find that I tend to eat food items that aren't good for the diet, nor are they good at holding off my appetite until lunch. Throughout my diet experiences I have stumbled across a few items that taste good and help to suppress my hunger until its time to eat again.

1. Fiber One bars: oats and chocolate. At 140 calories a pop these bars are super yummy and super convenient. I throw one in my purse and eat it on my way to class in the morning and it tides me over until I get home and can eat lunch. With 9 grams of fiber and 2 grams of protein these little treats help me to feel full longer.

2. Kashi Go Lean Bars: crunchy chocolate caramel. These little goodies are packed with 8 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber for a breakfast that will certainly take you all the way to lunch and longer. At only 150 calories per serving, these breakfast bars will give you the energy you need to kickstart your morning without sacrificing your diet for the day.

3. Special K waffles: red berries. Generally waffles are seen as a sit down breakfast, but throw in a waffle or two, wrap in a napkin, and go for a breakfast that can be eaten on the fly. These waffles run at 80 calories a piece and are good for the tummy as well as the diet.

4. Dunkin Donuts Egg-White Flatbreads: turkey sausage or veggie. Nothing like a warm and filling breakfast sandwich to get the day going, especially when it is tasty AND good for you. Under 300 calories a sandwich, these little guys are sure to satisfy your appetite.
