Get things started right with a healthy breakfast on a daily basis.
During one of my "phases" several years ago I'd skip breakfast and go directly to snack time. Sometimes I'd grab a packet of crackers at the local convenience store, or worse--a Snickers bar--and a Coke to eat and drink during my 45 minute commute to work. On weekends I used to eat a more traditional breakfast of bacon, eggs or sausage and toast.
The last couple of years I've been grabbing some fruit and eating a bowl of oatmeal. Oatmeal has changed since I started eating it 35 years ago. Quaker Oats has some flavored oatmeal that makes a sometime ordinarily bland food pretty tasty. This morning I had banana bread flavored oatmeal consisting of 6 grams of fiber and 3 grams of fat.
For those of you keeping score in terms of the 20/30 Fiber Plan, that leaves me 24 grams of fiber and 17 grams of fat to go today.
Here's some helpful breakfast nutrition information courtesy of the Quaker Oats website and the USDA.
