Every morning I make my breakfast at the office: 1/2C Quick Oats w/ 3/4C Egg Beaters. Apparently, the entire Finance dept hates me because microwaving eggs stinks up their area terribly. I don't want to be disrepectful to others so I am trying to find a breakfast replacement that is similar in nutrients to my serving of eggs... No/Super Low Fat, 15+g of Protien, Low Carbs...Any advice, suggestions? Eating at home is not a solution because of time...

Instead of using the eggs for protein you should try EAS protein powder and mix it in with your oatmeal. I use the vanilla.
Hope this helps!

Thanks... that was one idea I was going to try. Do you find that the EAS is kind to your tummy? Without be graphic, I struggle with processing protien powders... even tried goat whey to no avail.

2 low fat mozzarella cheese sticks (string cheese) will get you about 16g of protein for about 160 cals with only 1 carb per piece. No microwave stink required.

i bring eggs to work all the time, but i make them the night before this way you only heat them for a few seconds.

fage yogurt has 15 grams of protein and is great with just a little honey or a little jelly in it, or even just some lemon juice, also cottage cheese has 16 grams of protein in 1/2 a cup, and neither have an offensive smell

I second the fage yogurt idea. The full fat one is awesome but even the 2% one is yummy and creamy and you can add fresh fruit or even some no/low sugar jam if you're avoiding sugar.

Hard boiled eggs, Whey Gourmet protein powder (I find it easy on the tummy and the taste buds), all my other food suggestions were taken.
And THANK YOU for caring about your co-workers! I can't stand the smell or sight of microwaved eggs either, and I think it's very considerate of you to rethink your breakfast.
Also you can set a toaster oven or slow cooker to have breakfast ready for you in the morning.
You can also make little frittata cups and microwave those. They don't smell as bad, and taste okay cold.

2 suggestions Muffin in a Minute (1/4 cup ground flaxseed, 1T cinnamon, 1 egg, 1 t splenda, 1/2 t baking POWDER-mix up and microwave for 1 minute).
Also, Revolution rolls.

So frustrated!
8 pounds in a month is pretty great. That is 2 pounds per week. That is the far-end of the range of what you can leave and keep it off.
