Hello all,

How about ideas on lo cal breakfasts ?

That said I suspect any that aren't cereal are likely either to not be lo cal, or be too fussy to do when rushing to work in the morning. But it would be nice to have options. Presently mine are whatever cereal I have on the shelf, or whatever packet of oats I have on the shelf, and a couple of times a week indulge in 2 slices of toast & marge. All rather uninspiring.

It's not just June that's shooting by, it was shocking to hear we reached the solstice and days are now shortening once more. That's it folks, the summer week's almost done. Expect rain & hail this coming weekend. Only 182 days to Xmas. 189 to the new year.

A smidgin down this morning but almost too little to measure; better than a gain of course and an incentive to get a bit more active this week.

I'd love a few new ideas for breakfast too.....oh and any ideas to satisfy the sweet tooth would be more than welcome for the July thread.

Here are some quick suggestions for lo cal and lo fat breakfast things.
Go to your diabetes items and you will find lo cal jams and lo cal cereal (a bit pricey..be warned, but you are the only one eating it so it lasts longer) and you can also buy turkey bacon which I swear by..just don't fry or grill it too long..about a total of 2-3 min otherwise it gets rubbery instead of crispy. Buy Danish back bacon and cut off the fat. Use the smaller sized brown toast bread. Drink veg. Juice or else look for a lo sugar fruit juice. Fruit juices are usually VERY high in sugar.

Here is a good lo fat mince.
You will need:
100 grams og lo fat mince
Onion
Red bell pepper
Olive Oil
Steak seasoning

Findelt chop the onion and pepper and mix it all together with your mince with salt and pepper.
Form into burger shapes and sprinkle liberally with your steak seasoning,
"Paint" your oil onto a griddle pan or frying pan and fry for about four minutes.
Serve with a salad and a nice cob of corn if desired.

Are you calling me a fat mince ?

[xstitcher]

I'd never do that OG!

[Old_Geezer]

Oh, was a little worried someone has installed a secret webcam at my place.

That would be fun, why didn't I think of it! "Big xstitcher is watching!"
