Question: I want to eat a nutritious breakfast,
but I don’t have the time! Please help!
I want to eat a nutritious breakfast, but I don’t have the time. I
have to get up, get the kids ready for their babysitter, take the dog
for a walk, and get myself ready for my job. There’s just no time to
make breakfast and eat it before I leave. I end up buying a bagel
or donut on the run. I know, really unhealthy. Any thoughts?

Hi Krista,
I get it. There are so many responsibilities to take care of each
morning that often eating breakfast is placed very low on our
priority list. However, breakfast is absolutely the most important
meal and skipping it only leads to consequences later on in the
day like low energy, lack of focus, and the slow-down of our
metabolism making it harder to burn calories. Here are some
solutions to make sure you eat breakfast.
1.
Get up earlier. You are up early already, but what is 10
more minutes? Go to bed 10 minutes earlier, and set your
timer to wake up 10 minutes earlier. Then, you can put
together a simple breakfast like smearing a banana with
peanut butter, eating a container of Greek yogurt with nuts,
or a pre-cooked, hard-boiled egg and a piece of fruit.
Assemble your breakfast the night before and put it in the
refrigerator to save you even more time in the morning.
2.
Pack breakfast AND lunch. Not enough time for breakfast
at home? Take your breakfast to work with you, just like you
would at lunch. Eat at your desk, during a morning break, or
whenever you have a few minutes. Prep it at home the night
before or in the morning using the time you’d normally use
buying a donut. I always bake healthy muffins on the
weekend...these are easy to grab on the run!
3.
Keep a container of oatmeal at work. I have a friend who
always has a container of oatmeal in his office. If he misses
breakfast at home, he makes a bowl of oatmeal at work
using the microwave in the break room.
There you go...no excuses!
