BIG Breakfasts

There seriously is nothing better.

Nothing.

Observe:


Oatmeal with flax and a bit of caramel syrup
Leftover burger with feta inside
One egg (overcooked, sadly)
Half a broiled grapefruit (sprinkle of sugar, time under the broiler, sprinkle of salt)


One orange
1 oz of a chocolate Power Bar
Apple cinnamon oatmeal
Portabella veggie burger
One scrambled egg


Kashi cereal with skim milk
Half a broiled grapefruit
Half a two-egg broccoli, mushroom, and white cheddar frittata

See what I mean?

These breakfasts make my day. And... by using my protein leftovers, I can actually whip up one of these breakfasts in a hurry.

Tomorrow, for instance, I'll be starting my day with the leftover frittata, some greek yogurt, an orange, and... maybe toast!

I'm following a 2 protein, 1 fruit, 1 grain, and 1 sweet (or sweetish addition to one of the big four).

And how is the big breakfast working?

Well... I'm down 2 lbs and .7% body fat since I started doing it. So, I think it's working!

Here's to breakfasts! I'll take mine big, thank you.

Okay, a) I like your new header! And 2) I really, really wish I could do the big breakfast thing. But that would involve me getting up earlier, which. I don't know about that. AND I can't eat that early in the morning. I get hungry right around 9:30, at which point I am already at work.

I think the solution here is for me to find someone to cook me a big breakfast and deliver it to me. I'm a genius.

Grace: Maybe on one of my visits this summer, I can make all interested parties a big breakfast. :)

Amber: I live for eggs. Not really... but it kinda feels like I live off of them these days.

G: I'm glad you like the header! I'm okay with it for the time being... And, yes, you do need a big breakfast cooker! Breakfast is my absolute favorite part of the day. I'll get up early for it, no problem.
