Guest guest Posted April 27, 2000 Report Share Posted April 27, 2000 Hi Sandy, Thanks for the tips! How often do you have eggs for breakfast and do you only have the whites? I swear this is the most confusing meal of the day!!! I'm going to try Special K, as well Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 27, 2000 Report Share Posted April 27, 2000 Hey Jill, Yeah you gave me a good laugh!! Reminds me of my friends. You eat all that at breakfast?? Sheesh! LOL.... It sounds like the righ idea though-- there are alot of people who swear by having like Steak and potatoes for breakfast and fruit for dinner. And technically it makes sense. I mean why would you want to have all that energy when you are going to sleep? You'd want it in the morning with the whole day ahead of you. I guess its just strange to think of having chicken for breakfast! SuasnC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2000 Report Share Posted April 27, 2000 Hi , Glad to have made you smile earlier. You should have a good breakfast, apparently you're metabolism is highest in a morning so needs lots of fuel, it's also able to use what you eat more effectively and less likely to 'store' it, you've been asleep for several hours so have not had any fuel (fast) so it's cruel not to eat - you're depriving your body. Personally I try to make breakfast my main meal (grilled bacon, lean sausage from my butcher, egg, baked beans) of the day, with salad and tuna for lunch, then if I'm going to class a light snack, bowl of Frosties/fish & rice (if I'm really hungry) or even slimfast if I'm pushed for time, with a late supper of fruit & iced dessert with snack of fruit in between. I eat a lot don't I ? - still last year I lost 2 dress sizes with this, workouts & weights. It's the best time of day to eat, and since I've been having breakfast the last couple of years I've been and felt lots better all round. Jill who wished she'd started eating more and better years ago! -----Original Message-----From: avtovocat@...

No cereal-- too many carbs... no eggs-- to high > in fat-- no sausage-- fat again-- I used to just go with a grapefruit or > orange but it aint doing it for me now... ideas?? C, I usually eat a banana and a bowl of cereal for breakfast. My favorite new cereal is Grape Nut Oh's....I don't really care for regular grape nuts, but I love the Oh's...go figure! I also like Raisin Bran Crunch and Multi-grain cheerios. I don't think you have to worry about a bowl of cereal being too many carbs, although I do always measure out 1 cup of my cereal and 1 cup of skim milk. Otherwise, if you just fill the bowl up...you might be getting 2-3 servings which would be too much! Also, if you like non-fat yogurt that's always good with some fruit. Lots of people make smoothies with protein powder and milk and fruit all mixed together! Also, eggs are ok a couple times a week and they do make lowfat sausage if you really love sausage. You could also have a bagel (or a half a bagel if they're the good NY kind) and some light cream cheese or 1 Tbls peanut butter! Ok, that's a few suggestions for you....but, definitely eat more than just a piece of fruit, especially if you're working out in the morning! It will really help kick start your day who eats breakfast every day, but needs to try to get a little variety in her diet because she sticks to basically the same thing every day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
