Hi

Not sure if I'm responding correctly to this thread I've been following but I'm crossing my fingers...

I think it's Pam that mentions frozen breakfast burritos. I read something about them somewhere once before and I'm curious if they are something people are makeing themselves and freezing or if you've found a good premade product to keep on hand.

Thanks.

: Hi Pam,

: So glad you posted this! Well I guess
: we are definitely in the right
: place then, huh!?

: I recently discovered a food
: combination that I love, and it's
: kept me steady on breakfast so
: far. Or when I do get off track, I
: get right back on the next day.
: Who knew!! Haha. So I think that
: is key, finding something you
: actually love to *eat*, not just
: love how you can avoid doing a lot
: of dishes later (that was me,
: lol)....

: And actually, if you keep practicing
: and trying things out I am
: confident you will eventually come
: around to something you love. For
: me, the issue was I preferred
: solid foods but just couldn't for
: the life of me get them all down,
: certainly not within an hour. I
: felt like a competitive eater.
: Kathleen gently reminded me, no,
: that is not the goal here...lol...

: Bacon and eggs type foods were just
: way too greasy and rich for me. So
: I was doing shake for a while, and
: I liked that I was finally able to
: get all my protein this way. I did
: that for a while, and it seemed
: like bodybuilding for my stomach,
: training my stomach to handle all
: that protein. So one day I decided
: to give bacon and eggs another
: try.... I found turkey bacon was
: less greasy, and cooking the eggs
: in olive oil instead of butter was
: less rich..... greek yogurt is not
: greasy at all..... magically I was
: able to eat it all without
: struggling or feeling gross :)

: So with practice I've worked out my
: sort of formula, I need 34g so
: it's turkey bacon (enough to make
: 8g protein, and yes I will rip a
: piece in half to get the grams
: right), 2 eggs (12g protein), and
: a Greek yogurt cup (14g, more
: expensive than the big fat tub but
: saves me the trouble of
: measuring). My brown is hot grains
: that I cook in the rice cooker
: beforehand (various types of rice,
: barleys, quinoa, etc) and then
: just microwave.

: I would have thought in the past
: that's all too much trouble and
: sounds incredibly boring and blah
: blah blah but now it just works
: and I don't feel the urges to run
: wild with other breakfasts so
: much. Like the idea of
: finding "the one" and
: settling down whereas before I was
: a "cereal" dater and
: always some new breakfast
: fling..Sure I don't eat the same
: thing every day, but I also found
: a couple backup foods I love
: (frozen breakfast burritos) so
: when I do feel lazy or bored I
: just switch over to those.

: Anyways sorry for the long ramble, I
: hope you keep posting!
