today i had oatmeal (160 c) and a special k bar (90c)
|
I had 1/2 cup of Quaker 1-minute Oatmeal (150 cal) made with 1 cup of 2% milk (130 cal) (wish I had skim, but that's what I get for sending the boyfriend to do the shopping!), topped with a banana (130 cal) and a dusting of light brown sugar (approx 100 cal)
Total- 510 Not the BEST (I like to stay around 300-400), but a) it is delicious! and b) really keeps me going all morning, and on into the day. I can eat a small lunch and still feel like the oatmeal is working for me! I cannot recommend enough - I have just recently discovered the beauty of the big Quaker cylinder and I am loving how I can customize it each day. Throw in some frozen fruit and it is warmed up and ready to eat in only a few minutes. Throw in fresh fruit. Maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon, the possibilities are endless! |
This morning I got to work and realized I had completely forgotten to eat breakfast! Luckily I had some money so I hit the vending machine. First I bought some poptarts thinking I would splurge a little since it is Friday. However, I looked at the back and there are 410 calories in poptarts! So then I went back to my purse and bought a Nature Valley granola bar which was 180 calories. I had some yogurt mid-morning too, but I was still starving for lunch.
Usually I have 1 serving of Eggbeaters with either toast with 1tsp reduced fat PB and 1tsp sugar free jelly. Or I will have dry cereal instead of toast. I eat at least 5-6 times a day so my meals tend to be small. |
i had a bowl of quaker hazelnut latte oatmeal with skim milk and a banana, and coffee with skim milk and 2 splenda. it was good, but i need to stick with breakfasts that have high protein and less sugar.. i was hungry shortly therafter! can't wait for lunch! hehe

High fiber oatmeal, blueberries, low fat cheese stick and coffee= 300 calories.
Love my oatmeal! |
I tried out a recipe I found on here yesterday for High Protein Pancakes. It was delicious! And quick & easy ;-)
1/2 C oatmeal 1/2 C cottage cheese 3 egg whites tsp of vanilla dash of cinnamon Mix it up and cook in pan for a couple minutes. The recipe said to blend it & that would probably make them smoother but my blender died :-( I microwaved a cup of frozen blueberries and topped of the pancakes with them. Thanks to whomever I got this one from - it'll be a regular at my house! |
oatmeal cooked with almond butter, 1/2 banana - then add cinnomon and skim milk - depending on your proportions calories vary. Mine was about 250.
Tastes like oatmeal, banana nut bread. |
I had two packs of reduced sugar peaches and cream oatmeal and 1/2 a large banana.
|
So today was a bigger breakfast day for me...
2 corn tortillas (80) 2 eggs (140) scrambled with 1/4 c lowfat shredded cheese(80), 1 eating right strawberry yogurt (60) and 2 cuties (80) for a total of 440. yesterday I had 2 eggs scrambled with 1/2 c broccoli and 1/2 serving lf cheese with a blueberry muffin (from a just add water mix) and 2 cuties i also do homemade egg mcmuffins frequently- english muffin with 1/2 serving of lf cheese, an egg, 1 slice center cooked bacon. served with cuties and an eating right yogurt and you're right at 400 calories. I keep most of my breakfasts at 400, for an 1800 total day. |
A smoothie made with 1 banana, 2/3 cup lowfat strawberry yogurt and 1/2 cup skim milk. (300 calories) Put it in a travel coffee cup and seemed to fool myself into not wanting a caffinated coffee with 3 teaspoons sugar and 3 teaspoons flavored creamer!
The last couple mornings I had been having 2 nutrigrain waffles with a teaspoon of strawberry preserves on each one but that simply was not making it to lunch for me! |
Three Frigo cheese sticks, 3 dried apricots, 1 cup of coffee, 2 tsp creamer =
288 calories |
All in one pot:
1.5 c. water 1/2 c. of mixed oats oatmeal 1 banana chopped up and cooked with the oats Flax seeds chia seeds 16 grams of cashew butter Weekends are my "high calorie" oatmeal bowls, and this one was 430. My weekday oatmeal bowls are 1 apple and 1/2 c. oatmeal, made with spiced tea, and run about 215 calories. |
3/4 cup (39 g.) Kashi Go Lean cereal- 100
1/3 cup vanilla soy milk- 35 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries-50 24 oz. black coffee w/ sprinkling cinnamon-10 Total: 195, but I usually round in 5-kcal increments, so 200 Some people swear by light vanilla soy milk, but I think the extra 20 kcals per 1 cup serving are worth it, I just have a bit less. |
Cheerios with nonfat milk...140 cals
|
I had a "Pineapple Upside-Down Cake" Yoplait Light Yogurt and 1/4 C dry roasted almonds.
320 good & healthy calories. |
