I am trying to think of the most nutritious breakfast I can eat BEFORE taking Concerta in the morning as my appetitie has vanished on this med, and I wont be able to eat anything bar a fruit smoothie at 4pm until about 10pm at night (when I can eat soup or soft pasta, still not much)

so i am looking for a really balanced, nutritious breakfast that I can eat early in the morning that wont take ages to make/ eat (like museli does.....) and please, not a smoothie!

I need this breakfast to set me up for the day in case I cant handle much food later on.

methinks granola cereal with warm milk and yoghurt, along with half a banana, and flax seed and fish oil supplements would be good.

what about you? Please help. suggestions welcome!:)

I used to eat a full hoagie sandwich before I took my concerta. I dont take it anymore though.

I am thinking that you may call it a submarine sandwich? I keep forgetting that this board is multi-national!

Anyway, I would eat a 6" hoagie at about 7:30am right when I was taking my concerta, because I knew it would be hours and hours before I was comfortable enough to eat again. So i packed as much calories and carbs as I could into breakfast. Plus, I dont really like traditional breakfast food.

Here is my favorite 'fast food' type hoagie:
a Shorti "Italian" from Wawa ( a great store!

You need more protein than you'll get from that breakfast- a high protein diet is extremely beneficial for people with ADD, and also, when you don't manage to eat much, you'll need to make sure that you get enough protein, as a protein defiancy will break down your body.

I know eating anything solid while on stimulants, at least in the beginning, is hard, but do you think you can manage to drink a protein shake or two during the day?
