Preferably something that has little to no preparation required.
Avocados toast is pretty easy. Toast some bread. Mash on some avocado. Sprinkle with garlic salt or everything seasoning. Delicious and healthy!
I like to make oats in the microwave and mix in peanut butter and banana slices
Overnight oats which you can prepare the night before. Soak some oats in milk and keep it in the fridge for at least 2 hours for the oats to soak up all the liquids. Toss in your favourite toppings, like freshly chopped fruits, or even some chocolate, and it’s ready to eat.
Always a good plan. I’m not too creative but have a easy go-to with 1/3 each of oats, chopped dates, and some kind of granola mix. Add oat/almond milk until covered and leave it in the fridge.
Wait you mean you don’t cook the oats? Oats (the old fashioned 30 minute kind) cook nicely for me in 4 minutes in an instant pot, but no cooking sounds even better.
You can cook or keep it cold.
I do it cold with yoghurt.Cooking is not necessary for overnight oats. I used steel cut myself, but the texture of these oats prepared this way may be chewier than you expect or are used to though, if you have always been heat-cooking them.
Just look up overnight oats and there are plenty of recipes and suggestions, some even using yogurt instead of milk. Here’s one from Martha Stewart for starters,

Cooking is entirely optional.
Miso soup is my go-to breakfast. You can get dashi powder and miso paste, then just heat water in the kettle and combine. I love that it’s warm and flavorful, but actually a pretty light breakfast (which I prefer).
NO PREP: A couple slices of smoked salmon. A few cherry tomatoes. Another fruit of your choice (apple, orange, berries, etc.)
Substitute similar things for variety: Smoked mackrel, whitefish, trout, or herring. Vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli or snap peas instead of cherry tomatoes. Fish not your thing (too bad cause it’s VERY healthy) then eat sliced meats. Leaner is healthier.

ANOTHER LOW PREP OPTION: Charcuterie board. Make it in a big glass storage container and keep it in the fridge so all you have to do is take it out. Graze. Put it back. These can have almost endless foods on them, but choose wisely. No candy, Nancy! Eat some nuts.

For years I ate cereal with milk and was still hungry. Stop being a bitch and putting sugar on your sugar and eat real food.
Even if you’re not being super lean, one should know that sugar makes you hungrier, and increases cravings for sugar at a later date too.
When I am running late I often make scrambled egg burritos. Warm a burrito tortilla over the stove flame, then scramble eggs with cheese and seasoning. I like egg whites, pepper, and cajun seasoning.
Can cook on a high flame if stirring constantly. Roll it up and run. It takes 3-4 minutes. Usually grab an apple and banana to go with it.

Yes, I also lost a lot of weight since adding eggs on my breakfast. I’m surprised most answers here are for cereal and peanut butter but no eggs.
Eggs are great, but they’re not a fast/quick item to me. You can boil them in advance to have them on hand, but sometimes peeling can be annoying.
Oh, depends how you have them. I typically fry them using cooking spray, or soft boil them. Fried they take me 2 minutes. I don’t scramble or make them into omelettes ever for breakfast, others in my family who do take at least 15 minutes which feels like an eternity to me.
ah yes the cock and balls breakfast
Fiber & protein with a little salt & sugar in there for funsies.
I’m going to give that a try, that sounds like a great breakfast now that eggs are back to their normal price
As I’ve become older the old “unhealthy” meals of bacon and eggs were not fully bad way to start your day in the sense of protein over carbs and sugars.
The latter leaves one hungry and snacking all day with no way to ever really get full. As much as bacon isn’t healthy for us the protein start is better for blood sugars than oatmeal or cereals to break fast.
Well, I’m a morning oatmeal eater and my doctor, who is way too into nutrition ,is happy with it, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We go over diet & blood tests every year.
Microwave oatmeal but with so much water that it’s drinkable. Have a pint of that and your body will thank you tremendously.
I always have a bowl of full-fat Greek yogurt with a spoonful of almond butter, a sprinkle of cinnamon, some collagen powder, and a little bit of maple syrup. Easy to scarf down in a hurry and keeps me satisfied for a few hours.
Fil (fermented/soured milk) and musli in my opinion cannot be beaten. Get bowl, open fridge to get fil, pour fil into bowl, get muesli, add that and you are done. Pretty unprocessed, plenty of fiber and (depending on variety) lots of good bacteria. Cleaning up is also quick, water and a few swirls with the brush. Making coffee takes longer than chomping down on a bowl of fil and muesli.
Sorry, I only have the filling, easy to eat, and no prep parts to give you. I’m no health expert, just a lazy Lemming.
Normally my daily routine is a bowl of Cereal with milk. I have a banana sometimes with it. Zero prep.
If I need to count on having energy for the whole day, it’s an over easy egg on buttered toast with margarine and black pepper. Some prep required.
My unhealthy “dinner for a week” meal is a pack of Costco hotdog buns and sausages that I cook two at a time whenever I want and slap mustard on it. That’s 8 or so meals for just over $20.
I could cook more and better stuff but I’m just too lazy to do the prep, the cooking and the cleanup, but I’m also too cheap to do takeout more than once a week.
Oatmeal and yoghurt.
You can switch it up with fruits, nuts, syrups (like maple) etc.My goto is:
Oatmeal, plain yoghurt (3.5%) or greek (10%), passion fruit, apple, maple syrup (if I like it sweet).This will certainly fill you, has lots of vitamins and depending on how much and what you do is easy to eat.
Banana. If still hungry then apple. If still hungry then banana. Repeat.
Fruits are good for you. Sugar in the morning and they hydrate you aswell. Might be a good idea to have a sandwich or something as a snack before lunch.
No protein? I’m gonna be hungry again in an hour or two!
Op was asking for a fast breakfast really early in the morning. I think its not a good idea to eat something very heavy just after waking up. That’s why i recommended a sandwich as a snack some time later before lunch.
Idk about that. I make biscuits and gravy on the weekends sometimes and always feel good for the rest of the day. The lighter stuff I eat during the week leaves me dragging by mid morning.
Fast as in the non-eating time since last meal or fast as in quick? I might have missed the original question… If it’s the latter, there’s plenty of quick, filling meal items in the morning. When I was serious about weight lifting, I would drink a protein shake 1-3 times a day to supplement muscle-building.
As for the former, intermittent fast-ers are adamant that anything other than water, plain coffee/tea will break their fast and provide less benefits.
I don’t know, but wonder if there is a scientific basis for this. If you’re avoiding eating something that’s going to fill you up (ie protein), my reaction is kind of “why bother”…
Wrap sweet potatoes in foil and roast them in the oven over night. In the morning, grab a sweet potato out of the oven and eat it for breakfast.
This is probably the easiest and most nutritious meal possible.
All Night? I’d be worried that’d be too long to try this myself.
Do ovens not have timers where you live? That’s wild.
In my country, you set the timer (and temperature obv) on your oven for how long whatever you have needs to cook, and once it’s counted down to 0, the oven switches off.
So you can put sweet potatoes in the oven to cook for an hour and go to bed- and get this right, in the morning you wake up to perfectly cooked and still slightly warm sweet potatoes, and a house that isn’t burnt down.
Crazy or what right? So futuristic and high tech.
No shit I’ve heard of a timer.
You’re the one that said “overnight” in your explanation instead of an actual time to use. I meant no issues with my comment to you so I dont understand your issue.
I didn’t even know this was possible. Looks like my current oven may be able to do it - it has a ticking timer knob - but pretty sure all previous ones didn’t have this feature.
Other than the use case you have mentioned I can’t see any reason to use it. It would be annoying to have the oven turn off before the food is cooked to perfection, which it rarely is at a prescribed time
Most oven timers in the U.S. start the oven when the timer runs out, rather than shutting it off.
Your snarky attitude makes you sound fun to be around. /s
My shit just beeps at the end of the timer and you can’t even hear it if you’re in the other room. If you forget to turn off the oven, it just stays on forever.
…piece of shit
If it’s not wired into the wall, you could plug it into a timer and set it that way.
do ovens Not RUN on GAS wheRE you Live??? THAT’S WILD.
See, I can be a snarky dipshit too.
If your suggesting a fucking $10 timer on your electric oven plug, that’s laughable. No wonder you said “overnight” instead of an actual time, it must take you the full 8 hrs to cook a potato with that thing.
what kind of shitty oven did you have that just plugged into the wall? they commonly use up to 5kW, so much more than any regular outlet will be able to handle
This is a surprisingly good breakfast. I add a little dab of butter and a tiny sprinkle of brown sugar.
I can’t imagine wanting to eat a potato in of any kind first thing in the morning.
For those that grew up on hashbrowns or left over potatoes fried the next morning, it’s a staple.
Cum
