Most important meal of the day (allegedly) and one I never bother with but I am going to be making more of an effort in the New Year, so what do you have for breakfast?

lionheart

Porridge with brown sugar followed by toast or else pancakes with syrup.

Blue Cat

sounds very healthy

activia yoghurt with as much museli as I can stuff into the pot. A coffee and a smoke followed by another coffee. then something about 10.30-11 banana or something- kitkat if my willpower is shite and a cig and a coffee.

My yummiest breakfast is eggs benedict or bacon and egg buttie- but hardly ever have those as I would be the size of a house! mmm drooool

Blue Cat

I normally do toast and marmite about 10 am, but am planning on cutting that out in favour of yoghurt and fruit, or cornflakes, I don't mind them too much

kittycat1

cereal is bad- lots of hidden sugars etc museli (the low fat stuff) is much better for you- or porridge if you can eat the stuff (It makes me gag!) and go for berries- best fruit for you xxx

Blue Cat

I love berries but raspberries are so expensive! bought some frozen ones.

Have you had the eggs benedict at More Cafe? very nice

kittycat1

Yep I go for frozen mixed berries- whack it all in the blender with an apple, banana load of grapes, fresh strawberries, a few nuts, skimmed milk and a strawberry activia yoghurt- delicious! can cram my 5 a day into one drink!

and yes I have had eggs benedict there- yumm yumm!

Patsy Stoned

a very rough estimate ( not know portion sizes) that breakfast gives you almost 100gms of carbs and over 600 calories..

kittycat1

thats not breakfast pats- an you be my calorie calculator please- i have a yoghurt and a palm size ammount of museli in the morning + 2 white coffees- hows that?

Blue Cat

thought there were few carbs in fruit, banana yes but not the other fruits

kittycat1

actually pats- can you tell me why the carbs are so high- trying to find a carb convertor online and cant find anything- everything is a palm size portion- almonds. Just saw online that the daily intake of carbs should be 180-230 grms a day if your not trying to loose weight. Suddenly thinking my diet is shite!

kittycat1

just having a look online at different daily recommendations and am now completely confused- help Pats! what diet would you recommend Patsy? help us!

Blue Cat

I am going to reduce my carbs, it has worked for me in the past, Patsy gave me some great tips a few years back which should still be on here.
