Usually if I’m running late and don’t have time for a big breakfast, I look for “quickie” things I can eat that will actually fill me up. These are not an option:
Oatmeal is a good option. I recently picked up a new kind of instant oatmeal at the grocery store:
I like the flavor and texture better than the Quaker Instant Oatmeal.
It’s pretty tasty. Not quite the fancy Scottish Oats I prefer but fast. 90 seconds in the microwave and it’s ready.
Cereal is also a quick option, however, it does NOT fill me up. Eating cereal for breakfast means I will be starving within the hour. I recently won a gift card for Subway and I’ve been really wanting to try their new breakfast options.This morning I woke up hungry and quickly realized that I could not make breakfast:
Yesterday Michael worked diligently on the tile floor and as a result, the fridge had to be moved and we can’t move it back yet. This also means we can’t get IN the fridge! Subway to the rescue. I drove to the nearest Subway and checked out their breakfast options. I was pleasantly surprised to see the calorie counts.
Those are pretty good numbers! I ordered the Black Forest Ham, Egg White and Pepper Jack cheese. It was just as good as the ones that Michael and I make at home. I’m really happy with the low calorie counts, too.
I got home and ate the breakfast sandwich with some canned pears and unsweetened iced tea. The perfect quickie breakfast before heading to the pool!
QUESTION: What are your secrets for fast breakfast options?

Those calories are awesome! I KNOW I could make a sandwich like that at home:( Half an ounce of meat and half an ounce of cheese is about 70-75 calories, egg whites are negligible, and Thomas’ has a muffin that is around 100 cals) and it was soo frustrating that eating this meal equivalent in a typical fast food joint would cost me double or triple the calories.
BRAVO Subway!!!!

I was really impressed too! The sandwich is something I used to make at home but it was at least 200 calories.
