5 Quick & Simple Breakfast-On-the-Run Ideas

OK, show of hands: how many people leave the house without eating breakfast? How many of you buy a bagel or pastry on the way into work? If you wait 5-10 minutes in line, you could use that time instead to make your own quick breakfast that is cheaper, tastier, and healthier.

Perhaps your idea of breakfast is simply a cup of coffee. And maybe also you notice that you tend to binge eat at night. If so, this is another great reason to consider making your own breakfast. By having something in the morning you'll be less likely to binge eat at night. Binge eating at night stems from accumulated stress and hunger that is built up during the day. You can ward this off by keeping your energy levels consistent throughout the day starting with a nutritious breakfast.
