Breakfast

Blackberries

So on the first day when I started my whole eating healthy thing, I started out with a breakfast I just came up with the night before. I know, I am supposed to plan so the night before I sat down with a pen and notepadd and did just that.

I'd shopped for healthy things before now all I had to do was put it all together into meals that will sustaine me for the day.

Breakfast shouldn't be heavy. After all it is the first and most important meal of the day. Try having something that will sustaine you, give you energy, give you a push to begin your day on a positive note. Blackberries are yummy and they are dark in colour so they give you some good sugar.

I love blackberries because I love sweets and since I can't do chocolate and all that other sweet stuff, I try to find other healthy things that give me some good sugar. Blackberries can be used for juice or just drop a few on top of your cereal.

Measure everything. If you're like me and you don't trust yourself to eye-ball things, measure it. According to the bran cereal box, you're supposed to eat 2/3 cups of cereal, with 1/4 cup 2% milk.

But that milk isn't nearly enough for all that cereal. So, I have 2/3 cups cereal with with 1/2 cup 1% milk. Sure its not the best tasting milk in the world but its not that bad. As a matter of fact, once you add your favorite fruits (like strawberries etc) you won't even taste the milk. This is still a pretty hearty meal.

The breakfast you have with half of a grapefruit -- if its a large one.
