So, now I am back at work I am very limited with time when it comes to food!
I do NOT like nuts - only penut butter lol but can not have that on the days I work (work with children and they have allergies to nuts!). Also, can not take eggs to school due to the allergy thing...
Breakfast - something that doesn't really require cooking such as on a stove lol and do not have time to be chopping up food... any ideas?
Morning tea, I may only get 15 mins so needs to be something easy too and I do not have access to cook either.
Same for lunch!

I finish work at 3pm so will have afternoon tea then.

Ideas please!!

Oh, good idea ELP!

TTC, when I'm in hurry (umm, every day :rolleyes: I eat: 1 mashed banana ( required time: 2 sec :wink:) with oat flakes and some full fat yogurt on top of it (last 2 steps ~0.5 sec lol)

Eating it takes away 30-45 sec, it depends how late I am for everything :rofl:

I cook up a batch of savoury mince which lasts me for about 3-4 days and eat about 140g with my cereal and V8 juice. I just reheat it each morning. Very quick and easy!

If I'm in a hurry in the morning, I just grab a banana and a Larabar (it's the whole food kind with nuts in it, but I know you don't like nuts, TTC5). I HAAAAAATE eating in the morning, probably why I have girls, LOL. Also, while I'm making the girls' lunches before school, I will throw a whole wheat waffle in the toaster and then spread peanut butter on it, it makes a whole protein combo there. I just fold it in half like a taco and can eat it on the go.

The is always cereal !!lol It is fast for sure. And you can add raisins in it too I eat this every morning after I wake up.Before the 'real" breakfast:rofl: omg Im so fat...
And also you can always grab a fruit ! Banana , apple , pear , ect.

Or eat toast with dark chocolate spread on it .This is also fast to make.:agree:

i also cook my "mince" ahead of time and eat it for 3-4days with my 2 boiled eggs in the am.

larabars, fruit dried fruit, beef jerkies, bcaon (cooked ahead of time), can you bring cold chicken and eat that at work? juices, NYF/v8 shake (nyf has protein in it)

lunch, salads everyday with a meat.(lettuce tomatoe and carrots)

Ok so went to the shops and for brekkie this week I bought rolled oats with little pieces of dates in it, oat milk and will have a boiled egg for protein afterward. I can pre boil the eggs night before :)

How does that sound?

I think that's perfect!

I know you may not want to do this, but whole-milk, full fat yogurt is packed with protein. I also used to take 4 ounces of mozzarella cheese for my lunch at work several times a week and I conceived DS 3 while doing so.

I can't have milk, I am dairy intolerant :(

My choices are soy, rice, almond or oat. I am having oat right now :)

You can't eat cheese or yogurt either?? Most people who are lactose intolerant can have them because the lactose is digested by the bacteria in the cheese/yogurt.

Oat is still great!! :agree:

I can have lactose (my body digests that fine) but just not the proteins found in dairy.
