What I may consider a delicious, filling breakfast may not be the same as yours. There is no escaping the fact that breakfast is the best way to start the day eating smart. Consider this posting a week of breakfast of a former non-breakfast eater.
I love to eat.... but breakfast on a weekday was such a time drag. Habits are hard to break and this was one of the first I tackled as a WW member with the help of suggestions from friends at the meeting and my WW Leader. I have succeeded and I eat breakfast every day.
The WW Momentum plan's focus on filling foods, especially at breakfast, is a powerful tool to launch the day right. For example, today, I combined 100gm of cottage cheese (1% fat), 178gm fresh strawberries and 25gm shredded wheat. Total of 11 oz of food for 3 points!
Yes, use a food scale that coverts to metric measure with a simple press of the button. Why? Bigger numbers :) is one thing, but for me I get more food than conventional standard measure. Example: strawberries are 1 point for 1-1/2 cups. Using volume (cups) to measure weight rather than a food scale is not an efficient conversion to points. If I am cashing in points for food, I better get my points worth of food. Use a food scale. Keep it out on the kitchen counter. Show others in the home how it works so they, too, can control food portions. Be in good company with successful WW members who are doing this.
