suggestions? i have a wheat sensitivity so nothing with wheat (ie, no oatmeal) in it, please! i'd like to keep bfast under 300 cal  i'd be willing to try to wake up a bit earlier to make something... |
i dunno..i think 300 or under 300 is way less for breakfast. ideally your biggest meal should be either breakfast or after a work out.
cuz your breakfast really determines how hungry you get through the day..if you increase it by even a 100 cals, you'll be amazed at your appetite through the remainder of the day
but i dont know if youre following a diet plan or something of that nature.
omelettes are really good and filling..one yolk, 3-4 whites, throw in some chopped veggies, low fat shredded provolone or feta cheese (because they have tons of flavor in little amounts as opposed to mozeralla which you need a good bit of for flavor) and fry in olive oil or cooking spray
you can also eat bird food type cereal with berries..those really high protein cereals. they take a little getting used to though
if youre in a hurry in the morning the best thing you can do is make a protein shake...water/milk + protein powder + berries or nat. peanut butter tbsp or any other fruit etc.
i read this study about how apparently, whey protein is like magic because of the way it fills people up. one group was given various foods for a meal, the other a protein shake. but the caloric content was equal whether it was the foods or shake. the people who drank the shake though felt fuller longer..twas kinda neat. something about how the liquid takes up lots of space in your stomach cuz its so vast
anyways about the working in the lab thing, props. i couldnt work anywhere i wasnt allowed to eat..i mean i havent ever worked at a lab or anything but ive worked in places i was not allowed to eat but i still ate.
how soon can you get time out to eat something? like cant you excuse yourself and be like i need to go to the bathroom or my car to get something and eat?
