Iv basically planned out my daily diet routine, to get the right calorie/fat intakes. But iv come across a problem with my morning portion, they want you to get around 15g of fat per meal, but I find it very hard to do so for breakfast, I leave for work at 530, so I dont have much time to fix anything elaborate, is there any ideas on a quick food that can get me the amounts I need and get me out of the door on time?

Until I figure it out, iv been doing a bowl of Raisin Bran and a plain bagel with nothing on it.

Many people find having that much fat a breakfast a challenge.  There are several things you cn do.  If you have a breakfast with 5 grams of fat or less you can skip the capsule.  If you want to be more precise you could add some nuts to your cereal, have it with 2% milk, and some peanut butter on your bagel to get to 15 grams of fat.  You might also consider a LF or regular yogurt and a some fruit instead of the bagel.

Let me know if this helps or if you need any other suggestions.

 I eat fiber one cereal, with a banana and skim milk, skip the pill (only 1.5 grams of fat) OR I make a smoothie for a quick breakfast ( I can drink it in the car) I just take a couple handfuls of frozen berries, throw a banana in and mix it with soy complete (added fiber, calcium and omega 3s) I add a heaping spoonful of ground flaxseed and that adds healthy fat and fiber.( I take my pill with this breakfast) Both really good and good for you.

 My favorite quick breakfast

Nature valley crunchy granola bars "oats and honey"  (180cal/6g fat) I spread peanut butter on them (2 per pack) 2tbsp reduced fat Skippy that totals 360 cal and 18g fat.  you'd most likely put less peanut butter.

I usually add an after breakfast snack to whatever I have and eat it withing an hour of the pill.... something like this

2cups frosted flakes (cause i love them) with 1& 1/2cup 2% milk.this makes a huge bowl and totals 488cals and 7.5g fat.   then within an hour you can have a granola bar on the go.  you can even add some peanuts or whatever kind of nut you like.  Buy the jar and keep them with you. 

I hope this helps.  I can go on forever.....

 for a fast one on the go, I like the cinnamon raison english muffins with spray butter and some peanut butter, then top the calories with yogurt.

or have healty life bread 2 eggs fried in pam with 2 oz slice of 97%fat free ham and have a egg sandwich.

oatmeal in the microwave cinn. splenda, toast for something warm.

or toast spray butter with peanut butter and sugar free jelly.

I did not eat breakfast until I got on alli now I love it and find all kinds of ways to fix things, there is low fat turkey bacon, turkey sausage, fix it in advance freeze it nuke it and go. or crush the sausage up fix with egg, cheese mushrooms and a wheat tortillia for breakfast buritto. add some sala to.

hope these help ya out.

 Hey midnite? You can also try muffin with spray butter and apple butter. apple butter is low in calories with no fat and taste absolutely great. try it!

Hope you like.

 You could spread some laughing cow cheese on the bagel or even a reduced fat cream cheese.

 About how much fat is in that smoothie with the soy, berries, banana and flaxseed.  Just curious.  This helps out alot when ppl give examples of what they eat for breakfast.  I had 2 cups of raisin bran, skim milk, and activia light yogurt and that's only 3 fat grams.  Getting examples has helped.  Thanks to everyone!  I've lost 4 pounds and started a week and a half ago.  Good luck everyone!
