Xan, what is the protein shake that you have in the morning? Do you buy it pre-made or do you make it yourself? If so, what is the recipe? Thanks!

Some may disapprove of this but I drink an Atkins shake. I think it's 20 grams of protein, and 900 mgs of potassium. There's nothing quicker

I will have to check them out, school starts again soon and I know I won't have time to make an omelet every morning, so I am looking for fast ideas

They're in most grocery stores, at least in the DC area. I know they're not beachy (they're prepared foods, and they have chemicals in them) but it's better than cereal or a sausage mcmuffin Good luck.

xan - why not make your own shake?

I only ask because it's kind of frowned upon to encourage frankenfoods.

After a fattening bday week end, and an only ok monday... today was back on track.

Skim milk
SB Egg w/icbinb dab
Few honey dew melon chunks

Yogurt

Hotdog salad

Cheese string

Chicken Caeser salad w/ parmasean & homemade dressing....... yum!

eta: Since my birthday was last weekend, I allowed myself a few cheats (mainly a slice of cake... but the odd other thing). Because of this, I didn't bother with the weekly weigh in last week... hopefully, by the time this weeks weigh in takes place I will have undone any damage the old bday cake may have caused.
