I'm boring. Yup. I admit it. About 95% of my breakfasts look the same. Mini-wheats and milk. Oh, but I switched it up last week for a few days: Maple sugar bite-sized mini-wheats instead of the regular ones. LOL!!
Before dietbet, I used to have a bowl of mini-wheats. I mean a B-O-W-L of mini-wheats. Like damn-near heaping with those little beauties. Now, since dietbet, I methodically count out 21, yes, twenty-one mini-wheats. 21 mini-wheats is a serving. I can still see the bottom of the bowl most of the time. Actually, 21 is working out fine...I usually feel satisfied eating far fewer than I used to think I needed...so the portion size thing has been eye opening.
I got a milk-carton full of egg-white the other day, and have had that once or twice for breakfast as a omelette (eggs, mushrooms, cheese). I felt good because I know thats the right kind of meal I should be having for breakfast. Low calorie, low sugar, high-protien...all goodness. I know I should wean myself off mini-wheats. I keep telling myself there is fiber, and its not that bad, yada, yada. But as this dietbet starts to get harder and harder as my weight goes down, I know I need to keep improving. I track all my food through the day, and since starting dietbet I'm almost always under my caloric needs for the day. But stilll...this old dude eating mini-wheats...I mean, c'mon.
So I'd like some of your views: Is it time for me to ditch my 21 mini-wheats? Or can I get away with it? Whats your usual breakfast? Is it possible to be a normal, healthy weighted dude, and still enjoy my stupid mini-wheats, or shall I grow up, eat less processed, less sugary junk, and eat a nice adult breakfast. :)
