Hi ladies and gents, I have a problem. In the morning when I leave for work I usually have about 30 minutes to get ready and out of the house, as I share it with two other people who need the bathroom/kitchen etc as well. I hardly ever time (read: never!) to make breakfast and one problem I have is always stopping on the way to work at Dunkin Donuts or McDondalds for a breakfast sandwhich. My question is, short of waking up earlier to cook, is there a South Beach friendly fast-breakfast? it doesn't have to be a fast-food type place, but I was just wondering if I am going to have to resolve myself to cookin in the mornings..
Thanks!

You can do quiche cups and freeze them, make ham/turkey roll ups, grab a l/f plain or vanilla yogurt, a handful of nuts or a few slices of low fat cheese with a couple of tomatoes or celery sticks. You could also eat cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs, tuna or any other lean protein.

I am in a rush in the morning and I have my technique downpat. I spray a small frypan with cooking spray, crack in two eggs, top with a couple of slices of low fat cheese then put the lid on and turn it on low while I have a 2 min shower and throw my clothes on while drinking my coffee. I sit and eat it while barking at my daughter to brush her teeth and do her hair. We are both fed, dressed, beds made and curtains opened in 30-40 mins. Anyone with an 8-yr old will tell you that is an achievement!

I agree that the quiche cups are good- if you have those with a glass of V8 you will be full. One thing about SBD is that it is all about the planning!

Welcome to the beach Usagi and the girls are right it is all about planning. ( something that I am having a hard time doing and it is causing me to be Off P)
So my advice is to go through the recipie section and plan plan plan.

Yup, you have to do some prep and/or cooking, but it doesn't have to be much! In the morning I throw a 1/2 cup of cottage cheese in a CorningWare dish, cut some cucumber chunks into it, slap a lid on that, toss 6 oz of V-8 in a travel cup, and toss it all with a spoon and straw in a bag and I'm out the door. I keep Lawry's seasoning salt at work for my cottage cheese. Easy and fast!
