I love to eat. I even love breakfast food. What I don’t like is to eat first thing when I wake up. I talked myself into believing that as long as I have the three squares a day, it didn’t matter when I ate. So I had meal one at noon, dinner in the evening and then a snack at night. That’s three meals.

But it turns out there are all sorts of studies that say skinny people eat breakfast. So I’ve been trying to choke down something within an hour or so of waking. Admittedly, it does help me from overdoing it at lunch…combining lunch and a snack into one meal (the idea that I can combine two meals into one).

The challenge is finding something I’m willing to eat that’s fairly easy to put together. Because its winter, I don’t want a smoothie (during the summer I like mocha smoothies). I like an egg and Canadian bacon, but I can’t eat that everyday. Too many eggs apparently aren’t great for you either. So I’ve started having a whole grain waffle with 1 tbs of peanut butter.  I suppose I could have oatmeal, but I don’t like it much without the butter and brown sugar, which defeats the purpose. If anyone has any other ideas that can be put together in minutes, I’d love to hear it.
