Alright everyone, here goes…I am trying to venture into the world of big kid breakfasts.  I have been strictly a cereal-for-breakfast person for as long as I can remember and I’m hoping that my body will allow me to make the switch! I normally stick to cereal because any other breakfasts I’ve had make me feel sick and bloated all morning.  I think (and hope) that may have been a result of exactly what I ate rather than the fact that it wasn’t cereal.
Overnight oats, if you haven’t heard of them, are pretty much oats that require no cooking.  Just mix up some ingredients and stick the jar in the refrigerator overnight.  Breakfast is ready for you when you wake up!  Sounds like a good place to start…
The main reason I want to quit cereal is because it seems like a carbohydrate and sugar loaded meal every morning.  If you’re into counting macros, this means that I’m trying to make up for my massive intake of carbs for the rest of the day, ie. catching up on protein and fat to balance it all out.  If you want to read more about macros (macronutrients, ie. carbs/fat/protein), check out this website.  And if you want to figure out what kind of macro balance is right for you, check out this one.
And yes, this carb and sugar overload is even with eating a “healthy” cereal.  Here are the nutrition facts for what I usually stick to, Great Grains Cinnamon Hazelnut Protein Blend:

Doesn’t sound too bad on it’s own right? Whenever I add in a cup of non-fat milk, some ground flax, strawberries and blueberries, the calorie count goes up to around 480, carbs go up to 80 grams and sugar is up to 22 grams, compared to only 19 grams of protein.
So enough soap-boxing for now, here’s my first attempt at non-cereal breakfast.  I’m pretty excited to try out some eggs tomorrow.  Fingers crossed that I can handle real adult breakfasts!
