So I feel very much hungry till i reach home and eat. So can u please help me out in giving some mid morning recipes which can be made soon and easy to carry.

Hi if you eat breakfast then the best mid-morning meals should be some type of complex sugar (such as fruit).





If you are not eating breakfast then fiber should be your primary source of food as fiber ';sticks to the ribs'; (keeps you full longer) for a long time. Think oatmeal, dry cereal without sugar (they are usually 4-5 dollars per box, but the serving size is about 1/2 cup which will last you for about two weeks).





Also look into the Whole Grain Council for advice (see my source) on foods high in fiber and whole grains for mid-morning snacks.





Remember eating is a lot of planning (such as cooking much of your food the night before so you won't have to worry about it later) just like your classes.





Even if you don't vote this as a best answers, I hope that you use the information that I provided you in my answer. Best of luck.Give me some tips for mid morning recipes?
Very easily, you can take a portion of your breakfast itself with you. Why do you go for a seperate preparation? If you like to prepare seperately, i shall prefer chappatthy with less chilly vegitalble.


Any how, my humble request is not to make a habit of skipping breakfast. Consider it as a sin!
-Peanut butter and banana sandwiches. If you don't want the bread, sub it for graham crackers.





- Pita and egg sandwiches. You can find these frozen and they're all natural. Its basically an egg omelet wrapped in a pita. I get the vegetarian kind. The brand I eat: Santa Fe.





-make some yummy trail mix-mix in nuts, choco chips, banana chips, etc...
Peanut butter or cheese crackers





Quaker Bars... they have a Cinnimon Roll %26amp; Chocolate Chip Bar that are really tasty





Simple Salad (lettuce in a bad %26amp; dressing)





Sliced fruits and raw veggies





Yogurt-depending on your climate or if you will be staying mostly in cool places





These are the things that I eat... Hope this helps you out!! :)

Fried Egg and Ham Sandwich


Eggs are rich in energy-producing B vitamins and provide the best-quality protein money can buy. What is more, the American Heart Association says three to four yolks a week are all right if your cholesterol levels are normal.





Healthy additions: One-half cup raspberries, 8-ounces low fat milk





Ingredients


1 teaspoon butter


1 egg


1 whole-wheat English muffin, toasted


1 ounce lean ham


Hot sauce or salsa, optional





Directions


In a small nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Crack the egg into a bowl and slide it gently into the skillet so as to avoid breaking the yolk. Cook 1-1/2 minutes or until white is set. Using a pliable spatula, gently flip and cook another 15 seconds. Transfer to the muffin, cover with ham, and season with a few drops of hot sauce or a spoonful of salsa, if desired. Recipe makes one serving.

Dried fruit is one of the densest foods on the planet. Have some on hand for a quick snack anytime (just keep a close tab on your intake; it can also be calorie-packed).

2 tablespoons golden raisins


1/2 cup 1-percent cottage cheese


1 tablespoon muelsi or other mixed whole-grain cereal

In a small bowl combine apricots and raisins. Add water to cover and let stand overnight (this makes the fruit extra-tender). In the morning, put the cottage cheese in a bowl. Drain the fruit and add to the cheese. Sprinkle with muesli. Recipe makes one serving.
