Breakfast seems to be a challenge for so many for numerous reasons. Something that I do for breakfast which is fast and easy is to have a big bowl of cereal but not just any kind of cereal. I take for example Life cereal(maybe even 2 kinds of cereal like raisin bran also)and I add raisins, pecans, bananas or strawberries (whatever I have in the pantry or is in season at the time, typically just raisins and pecans with skim milk. I actually look forward to it because it is so good!! Plan ahead, buy some cereal and some toppings you like and make it something you enjoy!
If you are exercising first thing in the morning, make sure and get a glass of juice before you begin and keep yourself hydrated with plenty of water. And make sure you eat brk when you're done, don't snack!!!
There's nothing wrong with snacking (healthy snacking) between meals but don't skip meals and graze because then you have no idea the calories you are consuming. They will add up!!

Thanks, Heidi! You rock. I also substitute non-fat yogurt in most of my sour cream recipes.
ReplyDeletesweet action, Heidi! i'm glad to have a site like this to go to when i need some help. i use plain yogurt instead of mayonaise in tuna. it is a little watery, but the taste is the same.
ReplyDeleteI have a question :) I exercise first thing in the morning and being hypoglycemic, I figure I better eat something beforehand. I found that a bowl of cereal was too much, so I have been eating a granola bar. Would juice be better/same or is the high level of sugar too much for me and I'll lose my energy level half way through the workout? I'd love some other options!
