My 1st week back to work. Need quick food advice.

I have been off of work since Nov. 22, 2011. Well I made it through my first very busy week. I was so tired this week and there was no exercise, but I'm sure I will figure out a schedule.
I need advice on what is simple and easy to eat in the morning time prior to work.
I don't feel hungry, but I know I need to eat something. When I was home it took me about an hour after waking up to eat. I just don't have this luxury anymore. My time at work is very structured. Start at 8:30am, break, 30 min lunch, break, off at 5pm then dinner. I work in the operating room so no food allowed at my desk.
Thanks,
Camie

I drink a protein shake on the way to work and have yogurt mixed with 1/2 scoop protein powder during my morning break. I'm not really an eat as soon as I wake up girl so that's my morning routine on days off too.

I worked in an ER hospital..animals..but still crazy regulated by OSHA. So protein shakes were a savior, also, mini light babybel cheese, I kept em in my scrub pocket, in the wax they were ok for a few hours! Easy to pop out and eat on the go if need be.

Kashi Go Lean cereal- original version has 13 grams of protein- with the protein from the milk it is not too bad of a start. I think the carbs were 26 grams, not sure on the net carbs. The other versions of Kashi are a lot less protein so note that when looking.

I either scramble an egg, drink a cup of protein coffee, or have some cottage cheese with cinnamon and Splenda brown sugar.

I agree with all the above. I know there's no multi-tasking allowed, however as a full time employee, full time student, wife & mother of 2 toddlers, I wont survive without multi-tasking. So, to avoid overeating, I measure my meals instead of guessing my meal size as I was doing before (thanks to feedback from SassyItalian

). I don't have much time in the mornings as I have to get the girls and myself ready, so I prepare my breakfast ahead the night before. Things like scrambled eggs, hardboiled eggs, deli meats & string cheese, etc. For lunch, I usually do ground turkey breast with taco seasoning. I add Taco Bell Restaurant Style mild sauce (0 cals, carbs in 1 tbs). Everything measured to the last bit.
