I worry about the imbalance of carbs and protein in my diet, so I got brave today and went to FitDay to put in what I am eating today. (As you may remember, I said many times I am not counting calories and I would really like to stay that way). So for today, my calorie count is somewhere around 1575 and that sans dinner (although dinner is already made and it won't be much calorie wise as it consists of sauteed veggies and tofu).
So as per FitDay, today's intake of carbs is 63%
Although these are good carbs (whole grain cereal with very high fibre content and fruit - I know I do eat a lot of fruit) and only 25% (75 grams) of protein (although I may drive the protein higher if I add a bit of chicken boob to dinner).
I have read a few times here that if you have more protein for breakfast, you stay fuller longer. I eat 1.25 cup of cereal for breakfast (1/2 cup of Fibre One and the rest is mixed cereal - different sources) with 1% milk and typically quite a good chunk of blueberries and strawberries. Even though I guzzle water, I get hungry within 2 hours.
I don;t have a problem having an egg or an omelette for breakfast but I can't do it every day - that's too much cholesterol. I like cottage cheese but geez, the only choice is either Nordica or Gay Lea and a 1/2 of either one represents 18% ( again) of sodium.
So if you can share some tips for less carb/more protein oriented breakfast, I would appreciate it.
