I can't do solids easily in the morning, so I have a shake before or after my tea, at least on weekdays. But if you can do solids, maybe something like a hardboiled egg(white) or two or cottage cheese or even a small handful of almonds or walnuts would keep you sated longer than the cereal. Cereal is my kryptonite... I LOVE it, but it only makes me hungrier.<br /><br />I have to budget out for my shakes, but I get the HUGE thing of Optimum Nutrition's 100% whey every 3 months or so for about $40. There's like 80 servings in there, so it lasts a while as long as I only drink them on weekdays.<br /><br />We're on a $100 (or less) per week food budget for our family of 4, so I cook with eggs a lot. I also tend to buy chicken cheap and roast a LOT one day a week -- then make things with the leftovers for several other days. Beans of all kinds are staples around here too.<br /><br />Slow and steady -- you're doing fine!! :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10500821442558763539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806303154777119428.post-52401303045226723152010-11-21T07:51:21.802-06:002010-11-21T07:51:21.802-06:00I'm so glad the Halloween candy is finally off...I'm so glad the Halloween candy is finally officially gone. I agree with Miss Vickie about the protein.

And I don't have time to eat at home which is why I take my coffee and the little baggie of cereal. Not the greatest bandster choice, but better than candy.<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder of oatmeal. I actually did pick some up last time we were at the store. I could probably take that with me in the mornings and it would probably stay with me longer than the high carb low fiber cereal.*~D~*https://www.blogger.com/profile/05683337496822967339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806303154777119428.post-9778176358827087682010-11-20T11:27:49.076-06:002010-11-20T11:27:49.076-06:00Hey there, I am thinking you may need a bit more p...Hey there, I am thinking you may need a bit more protein in the morning. Or you need another fill. I eat my oatmeal w/protein powder for breakfast and I can go 5-6 hours without being hungry. I know you may not have time to eat a home, but I think you need a little more food. Just my humble opinion. I would really love to meet you sometime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
