Ways to Fit in Breakfast #2: Pack it up

Assemble a meal that you can tote to work. We suggest bagging fresh fruit, leftovers or homemade breakfast sandwiches, which you can microwave at the office. For grab-and-go protein, keep a stash of boiled eggs or yogurt cups in the fridge. Try whipping up a smoothie recipe and refrigerating it in a travel mug. Whatever you choose, try to eat within 2 hours of waking up. "A pattern of eating small meals and snacks helps regulate metabolism and helps lower cholesterol," says Karie Quinn, registered dietitian.

If you are usual go-to breakfast is a muffin from the bakery (which can pack up to 800 calories and 41 grams of fat), a healthier swamp would be an English muffin topped with peanut butter, a sliced banana and a small handful of chocolate chips. The protein and fiber-rich banana gives your new breakfast staying power - and cuts about 430 calories and 27 grams of fat. Not to mention, chocolate triggers the release of serotonin - a feel-good hormone - and keeps your levels elevated for hours. That will help you avoid those sugar cravings later in the day!
