This slow-releasing carb is always a good choice. Oatmeal is nutrient dense, quick and easy to prepare, and provides fuel for hours. Add a little fruit and milk for a

well-rounded breakfast.

Some doctors opt for coffee when they are short on time. For others, it is always the breakfast of champions! A little caffeine, sugar, and cream might be enough to

jump-start the day, but what do the pros do when the effects wear off? You guessed it--more coffee!

A nutrient-dense protein bar just might have the right amount of calories to power you straight through lunch. When working 12 and 14-hour shifts, doctors can also keep them right in

their lab coat pockets for a quick meal on the run!

This quick and easy favorite can be made in minutes and put in a thermos for the morning commute. Smoothies with yogurt, fresh berries, and a dollop of sun butter

provides great energy and easy absorption.

This is a good choice if you start with plain yogurt and add fresh fruit and granola yourself. This will keep the amount of sugar to a minimum and keep you

from crashing mid-morning.

This is another quick snack that can be eaten with milk like cereal or dry like trail mix. It's full of protein, good carbs, and healthy fats. 

If topped with almond butter or fresh fruit, bread isn't the worst choice for a quick breakfast, but the docs have to be mindful of the high calories that eating

lots of bread can cause. Rich toppings like cream cheese, jellies, and butter can cause problems on the scale and with cardiovascular health if using them becomes an excessive habit.

Eggs are an excellent source of protein, but they are also the highest in cholesterol content. Your doctor will tell you to go for egg whites if you eat whole

eggs too frequently. You must also be mindful of what kinds of foods you consume alongside of them. Pork and hash browns mean extra salt, fat, and starch--all of which

are bad for the ticker.

Like coffee, some doctors opt for hot cup of tea on the way out the door and nothing else. While teas have great benefits, be sure to consume balanced macronutrients

(proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) at the same time, or else you'll fail to properly nourish your body!

Yes, your doctor might be guilty of making a stop at the drive-thru to grab a hot, greasy bag of sausage, eggs, hash browns, and biscuits. Don't be alarmed. If

this is an occasional habit, you won't be having open-heart surgery together anytime soon. But be clear that these foods have little, if any, nutritional value. You'll probably be starving

again at 10:30 am!
