nix the banana and double up on the walnuts. bananas are like sugar bombs and your body will process quickly and want more. Like throwing paper on a fire. try it and see

I like doing the plain yogurt with granola and some almonds or walnuts mixed in. I need to remember to have my wife pick that stuff up at the market. I've been eating Cinamon Toast Crunch and Frosted Flakes, with the occasional Pop Tart thrown in for good measure lately. Weekends are usually eggs and grapefruit or melon.

Three eggs, over easy, sausage links and home fries. Wheat toast and coffee, at Leos.

LOL, happens everytime.

Larrys' P.X., or the boiled eggs as a shark/encroachment repellent.

Slimfast shake every morning fills ,me up till lunch

[Swimmer]

Steamed clams and ice cold Bud at 6:00 a.m. in Mattapoisett. Visiting friends when I was a kid and my buddy wakes me up a 4:00 a.m. to go clamming. Chit I said it early. I was glad to crawl out of his kids sleeping bag though that smelled of pee.

Came back with the clams and his wife Cathy cooked them up and we ate them all before the kids were up and polished off the six-pack too boot.

Stomach couldn't do that now. But I have to tell you, I remember how delicious they were to this day.

[Rob Rockcrawler]

On the oatmeal thing... Instant oatmeal with a cup of fruit cocktail keeps me going. A little maple syrup for the sugar high. Most days its what looks good on the roach coach.

[Adam_777]

Yogurt,Ice tea and a fiber bar every morning.Not healthy but it holds me over until at least ten when I take my first break.

Had the great Brunch yesterday with some family members. I baked a nice Cook's Hamand made Belgian waffles and my uncle did a huge thing of scrambled eggs. Being unable to choose either , I put Strawberries and whipped cream on half my waffle and butter and pure Vermont maple syrup on the other half. OJ , and coffee to wash it all down. The waffles were delicious (with both toppings) . Those Cook's Brand Hams are also really good quality.

The only thing missing were the Cheesy potatoe patties I like to make. Kind of like mashed potatoes with lots of shredded cheese mixed in then fried in a fry pan like a hamburger patty until the cheese melts then develops a brown kind of crust on the outside. I love to make the cheesy potatoes for breakfast when I go camping!

I started eating Cheerios for breakfast before I learned to talk. I called them Yowas. I figure I have averaged eating Cheerios for breakfast 5 days a week. Would be higher but never got up in college. So based on my age and eating an average of 2.5 bowl fulls each morning, I figure I have consumed, 35,000 bowls of Cheerios. Hence I used to be known as the Cheerios Kid.

So if they find out that too many Cheerios will kill you, then I am totally F *ucked.

note- I even bring a small box when I go to Cuttyhunk.

sounds dee-lish...but probably not "good"(as in healthy)

The best thing about Cheerios is that when you only have a half a bowl left, you can tear the box up into little pieces and eat them. They taste exactly the same as their contents.

Good thread.
Healthy breakfast keep us active all the day.
Healthy breakfast gives us energy and potential
to do certain tasks in a day.I also do breakfast with
bread eggs and with a fresh fruit juice.

I found a good snack food is Craisins. I get a huge bag at BJ's. The Craisins have such a strong taste that you only eat a little and you get satisfied. A big bag can last me 2 or 3 weeks with just a small handful every night.

I'm convinced that certain foods really dense in flavor satisfy your taste buds without eating a whole box of whatever. Unlike cookies where one chases the next one , strong tatsing fruits seems to just satisfy you after a little. In addition to craisins , I find Kiwi fruit that way. After a Kiwi or 2 , I seem to feel satisfied.

[Raven]

sunflower seeds (not roasted) do that too...

and your right on the cookies...they are like Beer
have one and you want another.... to no end

the more you chew your food... it creates a substance that
satisfies your appetite... shutting it down

The woman that does modeling for me (she's 42) eats oatmeal made with water and two protein bars during the day. Veggies and steamed fish for dinner a crazy protein/carb pre-workout drink, and then lifts weights, and watches t.v. for a couple hours on the treadmill. No booze, no ice cream, no popcorn at the movies, no special occasion departures, no days off.
To really make a difference, you have to pretty much give up everything. It's a radical decision. I've lost about 70 pounds and kept it off for few years now. But it wasn't until she pointed out to me how much you have to give up to really make it work - just about everything.
That's why people remain half-fat: because they only take half measures.
