Starting with the right Breakfast

When I started my weight loss and diet I quickly realized that if I was going to live at the gym I needed to have the right fuel for my body. From my short term experience I have learned that Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So here is what I did and the food that I still love to eat.

My Goal was to eat a good protein and a good carb. So this is what my weekly menus have been.

Egg and Cheese Bagel: Cook Egg Beaters (great protein) in a pan with non stick vegetable oil, toast a whole wheat bagel, add a slice non fat cheese (its like an egg McMuffin)

Egg Beater Omelet: Add Tomatoes, Onions, Ham or Turkey, Mushrooms, or whatever to a pan with a little non stick spray, cook for minute of 2 and then add Egg Beaters and make an omelet

French Toast: Use Egg Beaters, Vanilla, Cinnamon, Non Fat Sweetener and some good whole wheat bread, use sugar free syrup

Pancakes: Use a whole wheat pancake batter, add a scope of protein powder, add some ground up flax seed, sugar free syrup

Eggs and Potatoes: Bake some red or white potatoes in the microwave, cut them up and fry them with some spices in a non stick pan, when they are hot add in egg beaters and scramble the whole dish, I like to add salsa towards the end to make it spicy.

These or some of the things I like to eat, if I can't cook I will eat a low fat yogurt, string cheese, Banana, protein shake or bar, and always lots of water.
