Breakfast

josstuff

Monday through Friday. I eat a bowl of oatmeal, either steel cut or quick cooking oats. Cinnamon, brown sugar. One apple, and some boiled eggs. I literally never get tired of oatmeal, I could eat it all day if I wanted to. Then I load up on coffee, I have a unhealthy obsession with coffee.
On the weekends I usually always have pancakes or breakfast burritos for breakfast from a restaurant.

Pancakes are not in any way unhealthy. Make them fit into your day. It really is not that hard to do.

Heck, I even have mine with REAL butter and syrup. I find that by using the real thing that I can get away with using less. It's about quality, not quantity.

I'm tempted to try an egg beaters omelet. Has anyone had that before? Any good?

I had a couple hard boiled eggs and a couple slices of bacon. 200 calories...

I make protein pancakes... about 400 calories for 7 of them (300 for 4 if I make the ricotta ones, less protein but still delicious). That fits nicely in my diary.

I like protein for breakfast but if you like sweet I make a smoothie with a banana, coconut water (1/2 cup) chocolate protein powder and a tblsp of all natural peanut butter. Filling and delicious. Pancakes are delicious, its the butter and syrup that keep me away from them.
