Hoping for energy - trying a new breakfast
Starting the day off super super fine. Woke up tired, but once I got going I was unstoppable. Hope it continues through out the day. I have to do some shopping and studying…. YAH… herbs and veggies at the farmer’s market!
Woke up and had some chlorella and cantaloupe. Then off for my interval walk of 4o minutes. Back to do pilates butt and thighs (just 18 minutes). Then I had my breakfast. Recently I was given some samples of some hemp seeds from the health food store and information from the company that produced these seeds. Thought I would give their breakfast suggestion a try - basically fruit/veggies, yogurt and hemp seeds….and will take my vitamins at lunch. They* say this combo is great for prolonged energy. We will see
Hemp seeds are fantastic for EFA and amino acids!!!
B: 3 cherries, mixed greens, carrot, broccoli, pineapple, organic fat free plain yogurt, and hemp seeds. I ate at 8AM and I will record here when I feel the need to eat again. (Note: this is about 400 calories and a decent sized breakfast for me. Normally I feel I need my complex carbs to give me energy, but hey I will give this a whirl!
*Rocky Mountain Grain Products - snowrk@telusplanet.net (I do not think they are organic.)
90-100% vegan days these days and I am trying to find good sources for iron.
Have a great day all!
The food journal seems to not be working as it did not add my last 2 foods, but this could be because I added these to the new food journal base and they have not been edited. Not sure.
And so I was actually hungry at 1:00 and enjoyed a vegetarian O.F. Reuben sandwich with a side of yummy broccoli/sunflower seed and raisin salad. Normally I would be hungry just 2-3 hours after a normal breakfast regardless of whether it was an egg and toast or something vegan like oatmeal and the works. So 5 hours without being hungry, WOW. Good deal!
