  • Hmm... no, I guess not. Sorry, I'm new at SBD and I was in a rush at the store. I just saw 10g of fiber and figured I was good to go. But they are labeled "Multi-Grain" and the first few ingredients are "Water, enriched flour, whole wheat flour, yeast, vital wheat gluten" (etc) so I guess these are not so good. They don't seem too bad, so I'll finish the package - but I also won't be buying them again. Thanks for the catch - what a bummer, they're tasty.
  • multi-grain is really tough sometimes...it really makes people feel like they are eating something better than just regular white flour, but most of the time it is just white flour with a few additions. When looking at breads and other starches, look for whole wheat before fiber content. 100% whole wheat breads and pastas have more fiber naturally than refined wheat breads and pastas.

    Also, remember that only 1/2 the bagel is a serving. I would stick to just half the bagel at a time, especially being new to Phase 2.
  • I made the crockpot steel cut oats last night and ate them this morning with Vanilla SF almond milk and 1 Tbs of almond butter and cinnamon. Wow, they are really creamy and good when made this way! I plan on making this regularly.
  • This morning I had oatmeal cooked with 1/2 a diced apple, a few golden raisins and some walnuts. Wow, that seems so long ago!
  • P2 here. I usually have scrambled eggs with cheese and canadian bacon mixed in and a slice of 24 grain whole wheat bread. I have a hard time with omelets and eggs any other way besides scrambled. Tomorrow I may try a smoothie though.
  • I'm not a big egg eater but I'm very willing as a result to eat unconventional breakfast food.
    I had 2% cottage cheese and cherry tomatoes - about 1/2 cup each.

    Not to highjack the thread, but I'd be very interested, SBD Sass and Betsi, on any comments you have about your eating experiences the rest of the day after missing breakfast.
  • P1.5 here. Today I had sauteed onions, garlic, mushrooms, zucchini and parsley with an egg along side it..... sooo yum!
  • All this talk of oats.. I might go and soak some in the fridge overnight so they cook faster
  • Hmmm - have not had breakfast yet but am going to have my first oatmeal of the season with yogurt and a chopped apple plus cinnamon. Phase II.
  • P2 - one egg omelet with lots of green peppers, refried black beans & a little rf cheese. Homemade refried beans so it should be fun for everyone in staff mtg (speaking of leaving the garlic in )
  • P2, my usual breakfast of oatmeal with chopped apple, nuts and a few raisins.
  • I made some ww french bread yesterday and plan to make some ricotta stuffed french toast with strawberries.
  • peanut butter crepes, bison burger and v8 juice - phase 1
  • I am a huge fan of Oatmeal with PB, splenda and a dash of SF syrup. This morning though was french toast topped with PB and of course SF syrup. I find that the PB really helps with the "full" feeling until snack time. Oh and I am "maintaining" for the most part.
  • First day of Ph1. I had a BIG breakfast of spinach, cheese, and turkey sausage omelet. So yummy and I am stuffed.
