"Skipping" breakfast

Hello:

I have the feeling I am going to get my a$$ handed to me for this post. I tried searching the forum for a direct answer and came up short, so I apologize if this has already been answered. I know the forum is full of people just looking for permission to disregard Jeff's advice in Thrive, but I just don't know what to do. I work extremely early in the morning (before my daughter wakes up for school), and have no other time options. I cannot cook at that time and eating before an intense workout makes me nauseous. I am lactose intolerant and protein shakes immediately send me running for the bathroom. Are BCAA's an acceptable pre-peri-workout drink until I can eat something?

Can you have eggs? I boil 2 eggs in the evening and then put them (peeled) in the fridge for the next morning. I wake up at 4:50am sometimes and it's a huge time saver. If 2 eggs are too much, you can nibble on a small portion before and then have more food after the morning workout.

Great suggestion, thanks!

I know how you feel; I head out quick in the morning and have some Daughters of my own. After trying to figure out some breakfast ideas, I remembered Jeff saying in one of his essays, about a quick option for good jerky and nuts as a quick option. Here is what I came up with for some preparation.

Vension jerky with some basic ingredients for a quick protein breakfast snack to go.

Hope this helps. There is no cheep route when it comes to good jerky but I have found some sales in the local grocery store lately as well; Good luck!

Good advice! Thanks Ryan.

BCAA is okay, I like essential amino acid complex better. More money but worth it. 

On it. Thanks!
