Breakfast of champs

[RN ColbyJack]

I work day shift and often eat breakfast before morning report at 7am. Usually an English muffin egg sandwich.

I find that I'm hungry again by 9am, sometimes before my morning assessments and med passes are done. The hunger just grows until I'm distracted and irritable, ugh!

Does anybody with the same problem have a suggestion for a power breakfast that will last me more than a couple of hours?

Thanks!

I tend toward hypoglycemia as well and used to skip breakfasts to keep from having sugar crashes around 10 AM. Very bad habit.

I've recently purchased what has to be one of the best inventions known to humanity. A toaster that can toast bread/english muffins and cook an egg and heat up a sausage patty all at the same time!! It's sold under the "Laura Deen" brand and was around $30 at Wally World.

Wally World! You are kidding right? There is really a Wally World? That is as outragious as Piggly Wiggly:rotfl: Who thinks up these names?

Peanutbutter toast before work and at my moring break a hardboiled egg.

Protein and carbs always seems to hold me for 4-5ish hours. My problem is I like to sleep in, so I always skip breakfast, and by 9 I'm ready to chew the wallpaper... so I usually do peanut butter crackers and a small container of juice. That holds me till lunch at 1 or 1:30

I also experience gnawing hunger at 9:30 am on the dot, every single time I work a day shift.

I eat a bow of cereal with a banana in it, sometimes an english muffin with a banana and Peanut butter...

but I have to keep a granola bar or a little bag of cut up fruit nearby because otherwise I get cranky and can't focus!

Ziplock baggy with nuts or hunk of cheese w/crackers, either w/ some juice will only take 1 minute to eat and will keep hunger at bay for a good 2-3 hours, everyone should deserve 1 minute for a snack and 1 minute to pee

Thanks all! Happy breakfast!

Oatmeal with walnuts and raisins seems to last the morning. I make a big pot ahead of time, and nuke a bowl when I get up.

Ditto on the almonds. With Ghiradelli's double dark chocolate chips.

GUMMY BEARS!!!!

my personal snack of choice...

....but if I actually want something healthy, I go with a granola bar (Kashi makes good crunchy ones) or Fiber one with skim milk.
