I’ve never been a breakfast person, and I don’t wake up hungry. I used to go a few hours without eating anything and then have a breakfast of two scrambled eggs, 1/2 cup of brown rice, and a sliced avocado with some salt or soy sauce. That’s a very tasty and healthy breakfast, but I get hungry again within a couple of hours.
Normally I don’t eat much carbs, like bread or pasta or potatoes, and I don’t get my fats from butter or dairy.
This week I started eating a butter sandwich as soon as I wake up in the morning. And when I say “butter sandwich” I’m talking about eight pats of butter between two slices of whole wheat bread.
Why is this so satisfying? I’m not hungry until late in the afternoon, at which point I just wait until dinnertime.
I’d like to lose some weight, and with these butter sandwiches I’m consuming much less food during my day, but they can’t be healthy for me. Clearly I don’t know how nutrition works.
What do you eat in the morning?
I usually make a Smoothie that consists of a banana, some plain fat-free yogurt, 1 scoop chocolate Orgain protein powder, about 1/2 cup almond milk, and some frozen blueberries. Sometimes I add Chia seeds, instant coffee, or cocoa powder. This smoothie is filling enough for me til I need a small snack around 3:00.
