Quick Breakfast

---

In the morning during school, I usually don't have much time to make/cook breakfast, my mom's asleep, and my dad is taking the dogs out. I've heard that breakfast is essentially the most important meal (can't remember the exact reason why) so I was wondering if anyone knew anything other than cereal (it gets boring) that I can eat with very little prep/clean up and is healthy for me. Any suggestions would be great.

french toast with a hole cut in the middle with an egg inside of that, it's delicious, or toast and jam, oatmeal, eggs and toast, you get the idea use whole wheat, it's better for ya

Thats...horrible...Coffee does not belong in a blender.

I think that was a coffee cup of oats, not coffee.Mind you, blended coffee cup doesn't taste so good either.

hehehe your right, i read it wrong.

13 Blueberries, 2 Blackberries, 2 Apples, and 1/2 a banana preferably thrown into a juicer. A blender will work fine too.

Deepsquatter! That sounds ominous.

toasted bagel with cream cheese, English muffin, toast.

Noooooooo Bagels are TERRIBLE for you.and Cream Cheese is worse.

Why are they bad for you? And I hate cream cheese anyways.

Quote:They're high in carbs and have a high glycemic index, meaning that they cause spikes in blood sugar that add weight, produce hunger and aggravate diabetes. Half a plain bagel increases blood sugar as much as a 2-ounce Snickers bar. Typical bagels are as bad for blood sugar as white bread, sugar and potatoes. Whole-wheat bagels? Just slightly better. And NOT the good carbs, the bad carbs, it's like compressing a loaf of white bread into one bagel, which is basically what a bagel is, only with mass amounts of sugar. Even the whole wheat bagels are ridiculously bad, because they mostly contain horrible white flour, and only a little bit of 100% whole wheat, and whole GRAIN bagels are nearly impossible to come buy. Not to mention, they're like Glue In your intestines, Super Glue when you add in cream cheese. The relationship they have as a health food is amazingly perverted, and non existant. Not only that, but bagels MAKE YOU HUNGRY! So not only are you eating something that is already absolutely horrible, but it will make you want to eat more of it! I think I want to go get a second degree as a nutritionist.

Reading that quote, it seems to be saying that potatoes are bad too...

Quote:Though the low-carb craze may be waning, many people are still avoiding potatoes like the plague. That's a shame, because potatoes are a nutritious, inexpensive, and not particularly fattening food. Unless you fry them or cover them in butter or cream, they are fairly low in calories and are quite filling. True, a baked potato has more calories per ounce than most other vegetables, but it has less than half as many as bread, and fewer calories than rice. And in your quest to eat at least nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day, one medium-size potato counts as two servings.

And potatoes have more potassium than bananas.

Potatoes are a pretty awesome veggie

They taste good too. I hope I can get the time to go to the grocery store this weekend and buy loads of healthy, good-tasting snacks that I can munch on in the huge gape between lunch and dinner (~7-8 hours) because my mom loves to be lazy and make dinner at 7-8. At least it means I can eat a lot in that time, cus a lot of times I can eat a bunch, wait 30-45 minutes, and be hungry again.

Now I'm drooling :-("The fragrantly sweet juiciness and deep red color of strawberries can brighten up both the taste and aesthetics of any meal"TORTURE!Of course it doesn't help that I made my wallpaper about 9 strawberries that are a perfect color of red and the natural shape of a strawberry (not the huge ones).

It's not that I have any great interest in defending bagels; it was just a suggestion of something quick and easy in the morning. But these kinds of faddish food concerns just seem silly to me. And the popular culture images change weekly. This week carbs are bad; next week they'll be great. One week proteins are the in thing; another week they're the worst. I don't buy any of it. Bagels are basically bread- so what's so bad about that?
And bagels and cream cheese as glue in the intestines? I don't get that at all. Perhaps it bothers someone that way (like a lactose intolerant person); it certainly doesnt cause problems in most people.
The point here, I suppose, is that such dietary concerns make sense for people with dietary issues. Sure, a diabetic would have to worry about the blood sugar issue in eating a bagel or anything else. Or someone with some specific sort of digestive problem might have a problem with a bagel or some other specific food item.
I'm just very leery in general about these kinds of faddish food claims. Perhaps someone here, who knows about this stuff, could figure out whether any of Java's claims make sense.

Before I get insulted, which I most definitely am, bagels being healthy or unhealthy is not a fad thing, and white bread, is also absolutely horrible for you. Is the refined carbohydrates, and refined sugar that are bad for you, and I don't know about you, but protein has never been a bad thing, the science is as it is. There is a difference between good carbohydrates, and bad carbohydrates, and really if you knew anything about nutrition at all you would know that the information and jury was out on that LONG before the idiotic media decided to popularize crash dieting that ISN'T healthy at all. Refining the food from carbohydrates TAKES OUT the bran and germ from the grain, what makes them good in the first place, and anything made mostly with White flour is bad for you. When you take out the bran and germ, while refining them, it takes away what keeps you fuller, longer, so with the refined foods you want to eat more! Onto sugar, Do you have ANY CLUE how awful refined sugar is, or how much the average American or Canadian takes it? It is absolutely ridiculous, and
