A healthy breakfast... or cardboard and sticks...

Well, I decided to try this whole healthy (read: low calorie yet high in nutrition) breakfast thing. Part of having this blog is my desire to live a little healthier and a little happier, so I am back on SparkPeople... exercising and eating well (for all of two hours now).

But, hey... I managed to feel full after only eating 197 calories, only 2 grams of fat, 16 grams of protein, 14 grams of fiber, less than 200 grams of sodium, and 100% of my vitamin D, vitamin B-6, vitamin B-12, vitamin C, vitamin E, iron, thiamin, riboflavin, and Zinc... as well as about half of my daily calcium.

Plus I did a short workout that included various forms of crunches and wall push-ups (because I can't even do the girly ones on the floor...).

Now, if only it didn't taste like eating sticks and water with a cup of coffee.

Anyone have any suggestions on filling, tasty, healthy-ish meals? Especially things I can throw together relatively quickly after first waking up or coming home from a long day.

  1. Tofu!

    It's my new friend. I didn't know what to do with it at first, but I'm getting better at cooking with it. Low in fat, high in protein. I use it with broccoli, onions, and other assorted veggies (like carrots, green onions, asparagus, basically whatever I have at the time...) with a japanese sesame sauce. I boil my veggies, add the tofu (after I've pressed it in a paper towel for a while) take everything out when hot, then pour the sesame sauce to coat. Yum!

    Also, ground turkey and tofu is kinda crazy delicious (to me anyway). There are recipes online that have peas, and since I hate peas with a passion I just leave them out but I'll add other veggies if I feel like it. Just look up ground turkey and tofu on google.
