Tell me about your brekkie!

I am thinking of having rice bubbles with soy and a chopped banana - no sugar!

Is this a good brekkie for boy sway?

Oh and organic green tea!

I don't know what rice bubbles are??

I would like to see you try for a bigger breakfast with more protein. That is almost 100% pure carbs and even though it's not sugar, your body will digest it like it is. When you eat pure carbs, you actually end up with LOW blood sugar because your body releases massive amounts of insulin to deal with the carbs and then your blood sugar plummets. Eating some protein and carbs together means you have your blood sugar at a nice even level for a long time after eating.

When I conceived DS 3 I ate 1/2 cup of nuts and a few dates every morning for breakfast. A small steak with some fruit, oatmeal with peanut butter mixed in, etc. Eat some protein at every meal because your body can only digest a certain amount per meal.

I will write up a "when and how to eat meals for blue" that will explain in more detail.

Ohhh see I actually never eat brekkie, right now am sitting down at 12.30pm and having my first meal of the day :S

What could we have that doesn't require alot of cooking?

I think rice bubbles are what you may call rice pops/crispies???

Having some nuts in the cupboard is a quite an easy breakfast option TTC5! I have an open pack of walnuts, brazil nuts and dried apricots, so while I'm making everyone else's cereal and cups of tea I just pick away at the nuts/apricots, they are surprisingly filling. The apricots satisfy my sugar craving and i am finding that the need for sugar binges are starting to pass

I thought the nuts were going to be expensive but again I have found that I'm not getting through them half as fast as I thought I would. When evryone else has got their beakfast then a quick small bowl of oatmeal should top you up nicely.

Let me tell you, with getting the kids up for school and then having to get dressed up for work myself, the last thing I feel like doing is cooking anything....BUT, I found this fab little egg pan at World Market (I am sure they sell them everywhere, Target, etc.). It is about the size of a piece of bread, so you just spray some oil in there, crack and egg, and let it go, no need to fuss with it much unless you want to scramble it. Then, just flip it out onto a plate or onto a piece of toast (and it fits perfectly, which my kids think is super cool). For some reason, it cuts out a lot of time with a big pan and having to tend to the egg while it's cooking.

I assumed so but I thought I better ask to make sure!

Other kinds of cereal are better than that and you could pick one of them instead. Granola, muesli, oatmeal. Do you have energy bars?

I'm not sure exactly what Wheatabix are but if they are like Wheaties or Shredded Wheat (whole grains) they would be better than the rice cereal.

Even something like Marmite on whole wheat bread or beans on toast (wheat) would be good.

Agree totally and as I have mentioned on some other threads (sorry!) I ate walnuts or almonds with dates every morning when I was TTC DS 3. Kept me going all morning long and I worked a very hard physical job outdoors.

If you stir a couple spoonfulls of peanut butter into oatmeal, it is delicious and also very good for a boy.

Hi ladies, great advice..

Ok so I do not like nuts, but do like salted peanuts lol??

I have fruit allergies and can not have: apples, pear, apricot, peach anything that contains a seed or pip really =(

By the time I get home it is 9am is this too late for brekkie do you think? I could probably have an egg - what is the best way to have these? On some toast with some tomato I thought?

So wholemeal is the best bread you think?

And shredded wheat too is better you think? Thanks for that I can buy shredded wheat here =)

What is oatmeal is this the same as what we call porridge/rolled oats?

Oh could add some bacon to the brekkie too?
