@LMK02020 during the week I have overnight oats with sliced banana for breakfast. I love it, and it keeps me full for a while until my first snack(fruit) at work.
2 and 1/2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup low-fat vanilla yogurt
1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk, or sub another milk
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 - 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, to personal taste preference (or sub sugar-free chocolate pudding mix, dry)
1/2 teaspoon truvia, or sub another sweetener (Note that 1/2 teaspoon truvia is equivalent to 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar)
Optional: dark chocolate chips
I double this recipe, add dark chocolate chips, use silk coconut almond milk, natural peanut butter and stonyfield lowfat vanilla yogurt. It gives me enough for the week!2 -
Favorite breakfast ideas anyone?
I like cottage cheese with fresh raspberries, strawberries and blackberries, and a side of oatmeal. Or cottage cheese with pineapple, and side of oatmeal. Sometimes I go the savory route with the cottage cheese and add fresh basil, chopped tomatoes, and salt and pepper.
English muffin with fried egg, black forest ham, and slice of tomato. Add a bit of cheese or mayo, but not both.
2 egg omelette with mushrooms, peppers, onions, and spicy sausage or other meat.

Food and Exercise Challenge 11/11/19-11/17/19
Food Challenge: Protein
Protein is a very important macro when it comes to weight loss. Here is Myfitnesspal's article on protein and weight loss. They say these are five benefits of adding more protein in your diet:1. It satisfies and saves calories
2. It curbs carb highs and lows
3. It requires more of your energy
4. It fuels fat burning
5. It promotes muscle repair and growth
This week, beginning November 11th-17th, pick a protein goal for yourself for the week. This can be a goal that MFP sets, or one that you choose yourself. For at least three days, meet or exceed your protein goal.
Here are some lower calorie but high protein ideas for the week:Lean meats
Seafood
Beans, lentils
Soy
Low-fat dairy, cheese, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese
Eggs
Nuts and seeds
Exercise Challenge: Muscle
Because our food challenge is focused on protein this week, our exercise challenge will be focused on strength. Pick one(or both) of the following workouts to complete on two separate days this week. Instead of completing each workout with five sets of each exercise, you only need to complete three sets of each!

@gboles79 I have been trying to fill them in as I see them updated on here, but you are more than welcome to update the spreadsheet yourself! Sometimes I do miss them(or just get busy/distracted), but I try to go back and double check if I missed anything.
Edit: I am super sorry that I didn't put your numbers in! I just went back through them and realised you had posted them and I missed them through the week!0 -
