Sorry I've been delayed in getting back to you. Yesterday afternoon lightning

struck very near our office and knocked out the phones. I don't think I've ever

heard anything that loud.

As for meals?

I eat very simply. I have almond milk and protein powder for breakfast with

brown rice and olive oil.

On special days I'll have eggs and brown rice toast. Or one of my favorite

breakfasts is one egg, black beans and brown rice with tomatoes and cumin for a

sort of mexican flair.

I spent about a month experimenting with breakfasts that work for me and hold

me. I know at the beginning it was very, very hard to find the wherewithal to

plan, shop and get up and make up. It was next to impossible in the beginning.

I baby stepped it a bit. The first thing I did was try and find a couple of

protein options and spent a two or three weeks buying them and cooking them and

getting used to them. Then I looked for browns and added them. It took some

tweaking. But once you find a rotation of foods that work, you can stick with it

and it becomes a habit like brushing your teeth that's completely easy.

Good luck!

I collected some nice ideas thanks:

Breakfast burrito (sounds very nice)

One egg, black beans and brown rice with tomatoes

Shake with rice protein powder (if I find the rice powder)

Egg salad with baked sweet potatoes

Beans soup with tofu cubes

Do you have other ideas to share?

I'm eating a cooked breakfast every a.m. When I get up I put into a

microwavable glass dish:

4 oz. of oatmeal

6 oz. of milk

a handful of raisins

1 oz of peanut butter

Cook for 2 min on high and let sit for 5 min.

[i sometimes use chopped dried apricots instead of the raisins]

I find that this keeps me from being hungry until noon.

I'm eating only whole natural ingredients - no processed food - so I also make

omelets for breakfast or lunch. These can be pre-made and then warmed in the

microwave. I use an assortment of fresh vegs - peppers, mushrooms etc. Because

our markets do not use preservatives on the veggies they do not stay fresh for

long so when I buy them I cook them and keep them in the refrigerator so that

they can be added to any dish that week - omelets, stir fry etc. If you can get

whole grain breads, then add a slice of whole grain bread with your omelet. I

find that with a good breakfast the rest of the day falls into place, food wise.

However, I do plan my breakfast the night before.

Anne,

This is really not enough protein for you. Do you have any thoughts

about how you might increase the protein.

It is difficult because I have few sources of protein available. I do eat eggs

for breakfast at least once a week. Pulses are not available and the meat is

not safe to eat. I can eat a limited amount of cheese about once a week. What

would you suggest?
