Breakfast (6:20)
Oatmeal with egg whites, almond butter, cinnamon and milk

NOTE: tried a different recipe today, adding egg whites and hoping the oatmeal and other ingredients would disguise the taste of the egg. No such luck, I had trouble working through it and couldn't finish it all. Posted on the Nest Health board and got a couple of other suggestions that I am going to try tomorrow.

1/2 cup of Oatmeal with 1 cup of boiling water, left to sit for 10 minutes
Added 1 scoop of ISOfemme protien powder (strawberry smootie flavour) and 1/4 cup of thawed berries.
Coffee with skim milk.


Note: I found the oatmeal to be a bit runny and the taste and texture of the protien powder to be a bit overwhelming. Will add Flax and Wheat Germ tomorrow and lower the amount of protien powder so I can adjust to the taste.

Cut up green peppers and carrots with hummus
Water

NOTE: I ate this early, I am such a sucker for hummus that I was really craving it and no amount of water was helping, hopefully I can avoid this in the future.
