Preferably something that has little to no preparation required.

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.

I like to make oats in the microwave and mix in peanut butter and banana slices

I open a can of sardines and slice open an avocado. Healthy fats and protein, low carb!

Cottage cheese with granola. Similar to yogurt but I think cottage cheese is more palatable. The low fat version (often 1% or 2% instead of whole/ full fat) doesn't have as strong a taste to me and is covered pretty easily by granola if you don't like the flavor of cottage cheese. I also recommend store brand for the same reasonโ€”the taste is less strong, it seem, than name brand. For example, I think Daisy cottage cheese tastes a lot like their sour cream and just doesn't work as well as whatever store brand is available (and often cheaper) right next to it.

Sometimes I add a little jam or something too, which is also good

Somehow I never liked breakfast, as a kid I'd try to avoid it if possible.

Over the last couple of years I pushed it even further and most of the time I only eat dinner.

They didn't ask how to be anorexic

Chewing is linked with satiety, so I'd steer towards at least something semisolid to better meet ops criteria.

Fiber helps more with feeling full than chewing. A proper protein shake will fill you up.

Unless there are dinner leftovers, I usually eat a corn farofa filled with two scrambled eggs, half onion, and a carrot. It's 10min cooking if you plan in advance (grate the carrot and chop the onion), really filling, and... well, you got two vegs and a grain and a source of protein, I'd say that it's nutritious.

I make pork and vege wontons and freeze them in the deep freeze in packets. When I don't want to eat in the morning, I put a packet in the steamer and have a shower. When I get out on the shower alarm, I have hot cooked dumplings to eat. It is good even at 430AM.

But if you want no prep, not even the ease of a steamer, then stewed fruit from the fridge or a can, mixed with yoghurt and some nuts (or nut flour) and a handful of dry uncooked rolled oats. It takes zero time, and is good quality, and can change with the seasons.

Bread, butter, cheese and cold cuts.

Breakfast burritos: Scramble up some eggs and whatever you've got, toss it on a tortilla, throw some cheese and salsa on and you've got a hearty, easily transported meal that's relatively easy to make.

Oatmeal: Make your oats, toss in nuts, berries, whatever: Yum!

Sausages: I just stick them on a baking sheet, bake for 10 minutes at 400F, flip, 10 more minutes, and they're good to go. Save even more time by precooking them, storing them in the fridge, and microwaving them on the fly. Add some toast and guac, maybe a piece of fruit, and you've got some decent nutrition.

Breakfast shakes: Lots of nutrients and little to no prep time. Not super filling but enough to get you through at least the first few hours of the day.

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 itโ€™s warm and flavorful, but actually a pretty light breakfast (which I prefer).

I make steel cut oats in a rice cooker with a timer, so I can put the oats and water in the night before. I've pre-mixed the spices, peanut powder, flax powder. I throw nuts and raisins in when I mix it all together in the morning. For spices it's cocoa, tiny bit of cloves, tiny bit of cinnamon, tiny bit of ginger, pinch of salt.
