I'd top the waffles with sliced fruit (bananas, berries) and some chopped walnuts or pecans for added fiber, healthy fats, and other nutrients. Adding fruit, high fiber cereal, and a few nuts to the yogurt will make it more substantial and keep you feeling fuller longer. Also, an english muffin with peanut butter is a very portable breakfast. I used to keep whole fruit (apples, pears, oranges), nuts, a jar of peanut butter, a box of cereal, whole grain crackers, and packets of instant oatmeal in my desk drawers for quick, easy, nutritious meals and snacks at work.

My breakfast staples are Trader Joe's crustless quiches with soy chorizo (190 calories 9 grams of fat), or some combination of canadian bacon, low-fat yogurt, Kashi Go Lean waffles, or Fiber One bars (not the waffles and bar together though!!!). Do you have any suggestions on what I can easily add to make breakfast more nutritious? I eat at work so it can't be too fancy. So I can’t eat oatmeal every day.
