Breakfast is EVIL!

[amdforever2]

I've noticed it's impossible to eat a healthy breakfast at a restaurant, and almost impossible to eat one at home.

Eggs are fried in grease.
Hashbrowns are fried in grease.
Sausage is greasy.
Bacon is greasy.
Pancakes are cooked in a pan that has grease or some sort of non-stick agent, and if that's not enough, syrup is the brown liquid death of the world.
Waffles could be as healthy as bread, if not for the syrup.
Toast.....who eats toast without butter or artery clogging satan jelly?
French toast? Bread dipped in eggs, milk, and covered in..........syrup.
Biscuits and gravy? Without the gravy, maybe. With the sausage usually in the gravy, definetly not.



This leaves us with but two options to eat in the morning

Cereal in skim milk
Fruit
Granola/Cereal/Whatever bars




Breakfast is the time when I'm weakest too!

We need better options. Options other than fruit or BALLOON TO 400 LBS!

cheerios and soy milk

 

[gigapet]

you can cook homefries with a minimal amount of olive oil which is not bad for you.

Don't be so scared of fat from sausage or bacon. Your body actually does need small amounts of saturated fat for cell membrane rigidity. And who fries their eggs in grease? 😕 When I make scrambled eggs, they are cooked in Smart Balance butter, if I don't have that then I use a little Olive Oil.

And don't forget oatmeal, cream of wheat, cream of rice, etc.

I think the biggest problem with the american diet breakfast, is the overuse of wheat flour and sugars to sweeten it. Donuts, cinnamon buns, coffee cake, toast with jelly, waffles, pancakes, cereal...

I think the best breakfast is a high protein / moderate fat breakfast. Save the fruit for lunch. Eat a high vegetable meal for dinner. Cut back on any wheats and milk.

i do excercise, but in the interest of losing weight faster, which is what im doing right now, i'm trying to cut calories and fat

 

[kranky]

You say "greasy" like that's a bad thing.

 

[amdforever2]

So if you should intake your days fat and protein in the morning

does that mean that coupled with excercise

a mcdonalds sausage mcmuffin breakfast is acceptable?

:Q

Well, then, if you are going to do that, what's the point ....😛

 

[eakers]

whole grain toast
oatmeal

i like to mix low fat granola with low fat yogurt.

 

[Amused]

Try boiled or poached eggs.

Otherwise, just have a meaty salad and/or some fruit.

oh and every dieters favourite: cottage cheese *barf*

There is something to be said for how the food is prepared.

Agreed. I can't stand the stuff.

Scrambled eggs sounds alright in terms of health: Linky

 

[oboeguy]

Cook your eggs with butter-flavored Pam and they're quite good, with no butter/grease issues. Also, get some good vegetarian sausages.

 

[CraigRT]

who cares, it's just breakfast.. if you eat 1 meal a day like that, and remain physically active, and of course having the other 2 main meals of the day in a much healthier fashion, you will be fine.

I love going out for breakfast.. so goooood.

 

[Mo0o]

How about.

-Eat what you like
-Keep the portions reasonable
-Exercise

 

[djheater]

I make damned good multigrain pancakes... The secret is whole milk vanilla flavored yogurt... 🙂
Fresh fruit
uncured or turkey bacon
Fresh ground black coffee

That's some good eatin'
