Let's talk about breakfast options. First I need to tell you about a third type of meal: Fuel Pull (FP).
This is a meal or a food item with less than 5 grams of fat and less than 10 carbs. They are very, very good for weight loss! I will give some samples of them in a future post. When you think about beginning on this plan, an easy way to do it is to just change one meal a day for a week or two until you get the hang of it. Here are two of my favorite options:
Egg Muffins S, E, or FP 12 muffins
Whisk 8 - 10 eggs (I use 9) and season well with sea salt and black pepper.
Fill muffin holes with veggies such as green peppers, onions, mushrooms and meats such as bacon bits, diced sausage, turkey, ham, tuna, or leftover ground beef.
Pour egg mixture into each muffin hole 3/4 of the way to the top.
Top each with cheese (1 cup total).
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes until set.
For an E or FP choice, use all egg whites and very lean meats like turkey and a very small amount of low fat cheese such as mozzarella.You can add a small bowl of fruit to the E breakfast.
Today's Tip:
Bed, Bath and Beyond sells Gotham Steel Ti Ceramic muffin pans and they are excellent. These egg muffins are the worse for sticking even in a well sprayed pan. They come right out of the ceramic pan! Makes the clean up so minimal!
Oatmeal E
I don't have to tell you how to make oatmeal. You will want to use Old Fashioned Oats or Steel Cut Oats to get the most nutrition. To make this for 2 people, I use 1 cup of oats and 2 cups of liquid. You can do all water, all almond milk or some of both. I like to stir some protein powder into each portion when cooked and top with blueberries, fresh or frozen.
Rick and I usually eat oatmeal 5 mornings a week and then I do different things on the weekends. This assures us 1 meal a day that is an E.
