What the hell??? It's silly to look back on, b/c I was eating the same small amount every morning, having a little snack, then eating lunch at 12, it's not like I ever went nutso and ate everything in sight before lunch, but I felt like I had to maintain the routine...the mind is a tricky little devil i suppose :) That doesn't sound very sensical- but I'm gonna hope u get it! It sounds like everyone else completely relates too! haha yea...i'm a comment lurker :D That’s so interesting how the fear of too many breakfast calories really freaked you, me too! What the hell???

I have been using hemp protein powder in my smoothies, but that doesn't work well if I want to try it in my oatmeal or something. I've been wanting to try the egg-white powder or whey. I need to experiment! I like your tofu substitution in your pudding. You can never go wrong with tofu, right? :) I’ve had similar questions about protein recently since I’ve started cutting down on meat.

My breakfast is HUGE now because I have to eat something that will keep me satisfied for about 5 1/2 hours. Heart healthy oat serving, here I come! I love it though....I remember the days when I would just eat a piece of toast and a yogurt and be hungry all morning. It is so much better to eat a larger meal! I am totally with you!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for reading my blog! First off, I'm so happy that you are enjoying your new eating habits...especially a big & healthy breakfast. Do you notice a difference when you eat less sugar? I find adding fat is so important, but I think so many people (girls especially!) simply fear the name. If <em>fats</em> were called something else, I think we would gladly add more of them to our meals! Anyway, our bodies <em>NEED</em> fat to function. When the fat-free train rolled through town, don't think I didn't catch a ride...it did horrible things to my body. Dry skin, brittle hair...messed with my whole system. Don't fear the fat my friend - we can't <strong>live</strong> without it! If evenings are where you struggle, maybe you're not eating enough throughout the day. I know adding more calories might sound scary, but if you fill your body with wholesome and healthy foods all day long, you shouldn't want to attack the chocolate chips, etc at night. For me, 3 meals a day with an afternoon snack seems to work best. I've tried 5-6 smaller meals a day and 3 meals with 2-3 snacks, but I ALWAYS go back to 3 good sized meals with 1 small snack. I'm trying to be less strict with myself, and if I need more, then I eat it. You simply have to find what works best for you. Experiment and see how you feel...your body will tell you what it wants...just <strong>LISTEN</strong> my friend.</strong> Kelly,

Also when I make my oats I add egg substitute (the kind without any added ingred. like onion powder.) It makes the eggs more filling and volumunous (sp). I also eat a lot of canned (fat free) refried beans. Really good with hot sauce! I need to get on the bandwagon with your puddings, they look so good! Heather-
