99 problems and calories are one!

Am I the only one who keeps cringing when he sees the word banana and then thinks about calories vs satiation?

I would at least experiment with the same calories worth of apples once in a while and compare.

Has anyone noticed how many calories are in egg whites... and that you can actually dump slivered veggies and egg whites in a nuker and end up with something that looks like some sort of an omelette (or let's rather call it an egg based patty so as not to have the French yell at us about food term abuse)...

Budget and taste considerations aside, i hear that protein bars often have similar calories to granola bars....

I found that if I bumped up protein and fat, and lowered carbs, for breakfast, it made a difference for the rest of the day. I swear it even helps me not snack in the evening! So my regular breakfast is 2 boiled eggs, 1 slice of low carb toast and 1 T full-fat mayo (mash eggs with mayo and pile into toast). I have it with milky coffee using full fat milk. It feels like I start every day with a treat. Lunch is 4-5 hours later. Btw carb heavy meals cause a spike in blood sugar and then insulin - depending on how well your body processes sugar, it can lead to food cravings. So maybe at a minimum experiment with reducing breakfast carbs. If you adore breakfast carbs try choose those with lots of fibre e.g. oatmeal instead of sugary cereal.
