Whew! That was a pretty big breakfast…I felt like I had to force myself to eat it all again. The calories and carbs still stack up to be less than my usual cereal breakfast, plus I added 10 more grams of protein. I’ll see how it makes me feel today.
Yesterday’s breakfast (Egg white and turkey sausage omelet with 1/2 serving cereal) made me feel great all day! I actually powered through 2 lifting workouts – back/biceps and hamstrings – and went for a nice little sunset run. Not sure how much of that can be attributed to my breakfast and how much was me making up for being lazy on Sunday and Monday.
On the side of today’s breakfast I have some Activia Light Vanilla, 1/4 of a peach, 2 big strawberries, 1/2 tbsp ground flax seed and a few raspberries. And my coffee of course 🙂 Here’s the comparison with my usual:
