Sowing your oats... breakfast recipes!!
-
Oats with 2 scoops of protein powder and skim milk. On weekends I also have 3 boiled eggs (remove yokes). <br />
<br />
Not recommended if you're in a rush and don't have time for... ahem bog time afterwards. -
I remember the firat time on this Oats kick and food guru didn't specify milk or water, and I assumed milk. For that month strangely enough I had no bf loss. Trainer was perplexed until we discovered I was using milk in oats! I think it was me saying, "I even use trim milk in my oats", and she was "milk, WHERE does it say to use MILK"!!<br />
<br />
Ooops.<br />
<br />
But if you were not using the protein powder, and not bodybuilding and counting every singe damn calorie, I am sure Trim milk would be fine!! -
Hmmm wonder if I should switch to water even in my current state? Reckon I am still a bit short in calories and thought those from milk would probably be better than from some other foods. Was even thinking of having a big glass of calci-trim milk pre bed to help meet the calories target
-
Prepared 1 cup of oats, 1 cup of trim milk and a bit of cinnamon last night. I don't have much of a sweet tooth but the first spoonful was a bit bland this morning so I added a sprinkle of brown sugar : )<br />
<br />
I'll pick up some fruit which will def help on the sweetness front. Raisins, banana, etc are all things I like to eat.<br />
<br />
Two days of oats for breakie and wow do they keep you full. <br />
<br />
Mates wedding is 10th March (I'm a groomsman) so that's a clear goal for my training and eating nice and clean. -
what are the best sweetener options?? JK only adds 15-20 raisins!! that doesn't seem like heaps!<br />
<br />
Actually having a proper, healthy breakfast is already putting me ahead lol. -
nah, just Ness got told off for eating a trail mix type thing, "do you know how much sugar is in a handful of raisins"!!!<br />
<br />
My weakness is dates, and I read the back of the Pams packet that I can scoff down by accident - think it has a third of my calorie intake for a day, or a bit more actually, can't recall, but it was HEAPS!<br />
<br />
I'm on about 2800 at the moment, plus cheats!!! -
and there is an artificial sweetener, yellow box, in the same section at New World as the cooking stuff - muffin mixes etc. can't remember the bloody name though sorry!<br />
<br />
and it probably isn't that important, a handful isn't much, but wehen you're counting every single calorie, it is! -
What brand of oats are you guys buying? I tried generic wholegrain oats once and they were terrible. I do like the over-processed Uncle Toby version though <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

I have started actually eating breakfast! I was one of these useless people who had a coffee and maybe toast for brekkie. <br />
<br />
Now have a cereal, may progress to oats, will see what happens as I have made a number of minor changes in my diet since New Year and after a brief hiccup with evacuation issues, things appear back on track. -
Harroways for me too. Find em great and not too pricey either as go through them pretty quickly.<br />
<br />
Yep raisans are sugary and probably dont really need them if having protein and oats but they do taste bloody good. Always look forward to my proats in the morning! -
Different recipe this morning. Trim milk and a dash of vanilla essence instead of cinnamon. Added in raisins and it was good!
-
Was running low on milk last night so went with water in my proats.....hell its bland...struggling through. May have put too much in as its runnier than usual and also maybe not enough protein either. Will try again with less water and milk protein powder before i right it off.
