What's For Breakfast?

[glatt]

Yesterday, I made the switch. No more Wheaties for me. I love them, but that was 57 grams of net carbs every morning with 12 grams of sugars. I would eat a huge bowl for breakfast, equal to 3 servings. And by about 10:30, I'd be hungry. I finished off the last of the boxes in the basement and haven't ordered any new ones.

I'm going to try out different breakfasts. The past two mornings, I've had a hot oat bran cereal very much like steel cut oatmeal, except slightly lower in carbs and slightly higher in fiber. In addition, I also had a hard boiled egg and a spoon of peanut butter stirred into the oat bran. The oat bran is 17 grams of net carbs (compared to Wheaties 57) and 0 grams of sugar (compared to 12.) The protein in the egg kept me from getting hungry until 11am.

Cholesterol and fat intake are going up a little with this new breakfast, but hopefully not enough to cause long term problems like 20 years of the Wheaties probably did.
