Breakfast

Usually don't eat breakfast, but last night an omelet started to sound tasty, so I made one this morning. Eggs, sun-dried tomatoes, onions, garlic, habanero peppers, salt, and apple cider vinegar. Delicious!

well today I had grain-free crepes with sunflower butter and dark chocolate and some cantaloupe chunks. Which wouldn't help your sugar intake. I usually have some sort of eggs and fruit (quiche, egg muffins, scrambled eggs with peppers and avocado and salsa, fried eggs on toast, hard boiled eggs in bento shapes).

Nothing first thing in the morning. Then after my bike ride I had a shake with 12 oz skim milk, 1 tbsp of chocolate syrup and a scoop of whey. An hour later I had 2 mini bagels with a tbsp of jelly.

837 calories burned and only 515 consumed, so I'm kind of starving right now but I'm trying to make room to have 2 beers tonight.

@debrakgoogins‌ ive never heard of a muffin top pan? Can you find them anywhere? I like the idea of making them ahead of time.

You can find muffin top pans pretty much anywhere good kitchen products are sold. You can make six egg patties at a time. I make one dozen a week because my kids eat them too. I use 10 eggs, homemade turkey sausage, every color of peppers, onion and fresh chopped spinach for mine. It works out perfect for 12.

Banana (carbs) and one hard boiled egg (protein).

Tofuyan - Smart Pockets Everything, Scrambled egg and breakfast ham

I do the make ahead breakfast sandwiches with a light English muffin, an egg, a slice of ham and a slice of cheese. I make 1-2 weeks worth and freeze them. When I get to work, I heat it up in the microwave and eat while checking my emails. I do find that I cannot take them straight from the freezer to the microwave - I have to let them defrost first. Otherwise, the meat and muffin overcook while the egg is still frozen. I have tried the various defrost settings on the microwave without success so I just pull the sandwich out of the freezer the day before.

With the ingredients I use, it comes out to 247 calories, 28g carbs, 10g fat, 20g protein, and 8g of fiber.

I used to eat oatmeal for breakfast most days but switched to the sandwiches to increase protein intake.

- nf Greek yogurt, dark chocolate chips, slices of potatoe w/ salsa, big bowl of blueberries, 6 cups of Peppermint tea, 1/2 cup coffee w/ almond milk. All spread out within 4 hours.

@SconnieCat‌ a muffin top pan works really well to. They come out the exact size to throw on a whole wheat or multigrain bagel.

Wonderful tip!! Thanks so much!

I prepare a weeks worth of overnight oatmeal or greek yogurt/frozen berries/granola.

Overnight oatmeal = 1 part old fashioned oats, 1 part milk, 1 part applesauce and cinnamon or apple pie spice to taste (I do 1/2 cup of everything and 1/4 tsp apple pie spice). Store in fridge 5-7 days - the flavor gets better as it sits.

Yogurt parfait = 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt, 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries. Add to 8 oz container (dont mix) and store in fridge up to 5-7 days. I also make 1/2 cup servings of granola (homemade but you could use store bought) and mix them together in a bowl when I'm ready to eat.

I'm not a morning person so I decided I needed to make this meal so I don't have to plan it out ... and it's still yummy: oat (50g), cinnamon, one banana (100kcal) or mixed frozen berries topped with boiling water and while I do my make up I let it soak (if I dont have access to a microwave). and of course coffee with 1,6% milk = 295 kcal.

Wokeup at lunch time so skipped breakfast and added afternoon snack with 250ml milk & snickers 20g yummy

Ezekiel bread toast with 1.5 TBSP of Sunflower seed butter and coffee with stevia and almond milk. OH, and a pickled egg out of my fresh batch.

1 container of chobani raspberry Greek yogurt with 1 tbsp of peanutbutter mixed in. Accompanied by a tall glass of Metamucil

Hard boiled egg and a pbj (jelly is low sugar)
I'm also on the go morning times so I'll grab an apple, banana, slice of bread w/ peanut butter, also you can get the 1 minute oatmeal throw some nuts, raisins and cinnamon.
