what do you think of my breakfast?

[Cheryl Schaan]

Just looking for random opinions as I am second guessing everything I eat lately:

Two eggs
1 oz cheese (cheddar) - omelette

1 tomatoe
1 avacado
1/2 cup strawberries

do you think there is too much fat in this? i tried to add it on fitday but couldn't find avacado's on the lists.

Seems fine to me...

How does it make you feel for the first half of your day? That's what matters.

I eat 4 eggs, either bacon or sausage, and some sort of fruit every morning and it makes me feel great.

avacados are under fruits
277 calories
25 fat grams
14 carbs
3 protein
I think your breakfast looks good add some hot sauce!
(if available in canada)

you couldn't find avacado because it's spelled avocado.

Fat is your friend - your breakfast looks good!

no .. but usually some kind of variation of it .. maybe spinach instead of the avacoado or kiwi instead of strawberries. I was making a smoothie of sorts .. this is what i would put in it:

liquid egg whites .. maybe 1/2 cup
1/2 banana
some frozen strawberries
some almonds
flax seed ...

but i was finding i was getting really hungry alot faster .. maybe the banana?? i'm not familiar with all of the protein powders so wouldn't even know where to start with them. I'm doing paleo plus dairy as i just can't give up cheese ... but recently have started to think about the amounts of protein i eat and if eating too much of it could slow weight loss ...

Most protein powders will have a high carb count due to sugars. I use muscle milk, which has 8 carbs per 35g scoop, but won't be using it when I'm not on deployment. You're missing out on half the protein and all the fat by using only egg whites though.

I like to put a HUGE amount of spinach into my smoothies, as well as coconut oil. Since you are plus dairy, greek yogurt is delicious also and could contribute to your protein.

hmm .. good to know .. i'll start using the whole egg, the only reason i was using the liquid eggwhites was because i had a good coupon and bought some .. lol .. i was using coconut milk for a while but havent' seen coconut oil .. i'll have to look for it.

Never heard of spinach in a smoothie .. I'll have to try that next time .. whatever to get them in me! I consider myself paleo plus dairy only really because of the cheese and a little milk in my coffee .. i've given up yogurt and don't really miss it that much.
