    I don't track like that; I track by windows. My morning window is 6AM - 10AM. Within this time frame I usually eat breakfast and a snack. Plus my pre-workout drink. Usually around 700 calories.

    I stick to between 250 and 300 cals. I don't eat lunch though, plenty of cups of tea. Then dinner around 500/600. Leaves some spares for an evening snack with my coffee.
    But it has to work for you.

    Don't worry about the calories as you are gaining nutrients such as selenium, vitamin a and a a lot of protein and 'good' fat from the nuts. If it keeps you full I would say it is fine for breakfast but if you are really concerned, split the serving in half and have the second half for a snack later in the day. Typically I have 200-500 calories for breakfast depending on whether I have oats with whey protein or if I make myself a healthy vegetarian 'full English'. Remember it should be nutrient over calories :)

    My breakfast ranges between just a couple of cups of coffee to 250 - 450 for either porridge, weetabix or an omelette.

    700 isn't excessive if you are a morning eater and it works for you. I like to eat at night so I tend to have a heavy dinner. Everyone is different.

    I think it is up to you how you spend your calories, and it should not be a problem as long as you stay within your limits.

    The recipe sounds very good! I think that I will make it and use it in my yogurt. Much better for you than the pre-made granola.

    Yea that's what I was thinking, it's full of good stuff, just scares you a bit seeing 700cal on your breakfast entry! Lol

    I eat 300-420 for breakfast, mainly because I like to have at least half of my calories in the evening but can't see anything wrong in what you are doing. It'll certainly give you day time energy! Splitting it into 2 portions is also a really good idea to stave off hunger later.

    I have almost 2000 cals allocated per day as I'm doing insanity, so as long as I have a low cal lunch and a normal portion dinner it shouldn't be a problem right? Maybe this granola is better suited to sprinkling on yoghurt lol

    How do you enter your workouts in? i have been doing Tapot xt and i still dont know how to add the work out to my days :(

    I'm not, I'm just following the calorie allowance given by the insanity nutrition program. I allow myself a couple hundred extra of healthy calories if I'm still hungry though. It's much easier with a heart rate monitor, I'll be getting one as soon as I can afford it so then I know for sure how many calories I'm burning!

    Yeah, granola is killer. Lots of fat, lots of sugar...too bad it's so yummy.

    My breakfast is usually about 300 - 400 calories. I am a breakfast lover and could care less about dinner so I tend to eat well in the morning.
