My latest love is oatmeal. I found a few different kinds of oatmeal that I LOVE. They are high in fiber, great for lowering cholesterol, and can be served lots of ways.

One of my faves is regular oatmeal with cinnamon, raisins, and a tiny bit of splenda.

Ezee or Apretty posted a great oatmeal recipe a few pages back that even I want to try, and I always have a hard time choking down oatmeal. lol

I like eggs in the morning, but rarely have the time to make them. When I do, I scramble two egg whites with one whole egg and sprinkle a little low-fat cheese (damn cheese!) and some salsa on them. Sometimes I wrap it in a whole wheat tortilla. I rarely eat lunch so I feel ok bulking up a bit in the morning on food. My "lunch" usually consists of two small snacks -- a Kashi granola bar (just the ones really low in sugar) and a piece of fruit.

Protein is the key in the morning for me. If I don't eat something protein in the morning, I feel like crap the rest of the day.
