Get Up Off Ya Ass! / Forums / Weight Loss Tips / Tip 1 - Breakfast - Protein or Carbs?

Are you hungry an hour after eating breakfast?

Try beefing up your protein intake and reducing your carbs. Your body burns proteins a lot slower than it burns carbohydrates, which means your less likely to feel hungry as fast.

Here's an example of a breakfast or three that I eat in the morning.

________________________________________


* 1/2 to 3/4 of cup of low fat or no fat cottage cheese (i love cottage cheese)

* 1 slice of whole wheat toast (small) with brummel and brown ( brummelandbrown.com/ ) or a1/2 cup of organic steel cut oats.

* 1/2 banana

* cup of tea w/ fat free half and half and honey

________________________________________

* 1/2 cup of organic steel cut oats

* a scoop (or two scoops depending on the serving size of your protein powder) of vanilla whey protein powder.

* 1/3 sliced banana thrown into the otatmeal mix, with a dash of stevia ( stevia.net/ ) to make it sweet.

* five or six chopped almonds (or a teaspoon of natural peanut butter)

* zap it in the microwave for a 45 second to a minute.

some people love this, some people hate it. i love it.

________________________________________

* 2 eggs ( i use an egg substitute like egg beaters)

* any veggies that you like (chop 'em up small)

* slice of whole wheat toast w/ a tblsp of brummel and brown ( brummelandbrown.com/ )

* cup of tea w/ fat free half and half & honey

I coat my pan with PAM and sautee my chopped veggies. Sometimes I'll add a little bit of water to steam up the veggies just enough to make them soft yet crunchy. Then i throw my eggs over top ove the sauteed veggies and scramble.

i don't use cheese because it's fattening. i don't use real butter either.

don't forget! you can always do a protein smoothie in the morning, too. It's fast, full of good proteins, and you can add fruits like bananas for a healthy carbohydrate!
