He might come in early. Besides, salaried employees aren't paid by the hour.
With some jobs you can eat and work at the same time.

No, I eat my breakfast before I start work. I don't eat "on company time." I get here at 7:30 to eat breakfast. If I get here late, I stay later. I also eat my lunch right here at my desk. Again, not "on company time."
There's a lady where I work with an incredibly sensitive nose. This morning, she vehemently complained about the eggs I made using the microwave oven. What options do I have for eating a cold breakfast? For instance, could I eat cold eggs? If not what else is there? Thanks!
Is there a reason that you have to have breakfast at work? Maybe you should consider changing your schedule?
I eat when I go to the gym. I'll be going to the gym 2-3 times per week during the winter (twice to lift weights and once to replace biking on my mountain bike with studded tires, such as when it recently snowed; I'm not afraid of traction in the latter instance, but I am afraid of someone hitting me). So, once I get to work, I eat. I can't really change my schedule -- I have to go to the gym in the morning or else I will not go. I'm not a night person, and I enjoy going to the gym when almost no one is there.
That makes sense. I eat before going to the gym simply because I object to eating two meals at work :-/ Anyway, here's what I can think of"
- hard boiled eggs (plain, deviled) - egg salad (maybe in an lc tortilla or else on spinach for some variety) - rollup (meat and cheese rolls?) - cottage cheese (with fruit or veggie) - yogurt - quiche - riccota 'pudding' - cheesecake (hey, there was a hold thread on lc cheesecake for breakfast a while back! - lower carb cereal such as hi-lo

How do you make low carb quiche? That would be something I could make in bulk. (Although I've never had cold quiche; how's it taste? What's its texture?) The only bummer about this is that eggs were so easy, as they required no preparation before taking them to work. Hard boiled eggs, quiche, etc., mean more work on an already overloaded weekend schedule.

How do you make low carb quiche?
You can do a crustless quiche

Low carb quiche is REALLY easy. The way I do it - 6 eggs, 300ml cream, 1 cup shredded cheese (different cheeses will add different undertones - experiment and see what you like) salt, pepper and other flavours to taste (herbs, bacon, seafood, chopped tomato, spinach etc). Beat the eggs and cream together, stir in whatever other ingredients you're using. Pour into a greased pan (I like to use large muffin cups to make individual quiches rather than a single one) and bake in a hot oven until golden-brown and set. Allow to cool in the pan (for convenience more than anything). One warning - DON'T use a standard quiche pan with a separate base or you'll be cleaning egg-and-cheese mess off the bottom of the oven for days. Use a solid pan, cake dish, casserole dish but NOT a quiche pan!
Aramanth (I love this hot or cold - and it can be reheated gently in a microwave in less than a minute per serve).

Large muffin cups sounds perfect. I may make this recipe this weekend, if I have time (which is always problematic).
