Breakfast
Breakfast burrito:
1 whole grain
tortilla (130 calories)
1 egg + 1 egg
white, scrambled in 1 tsp olive oil
¼ cup each: bell
pepper, onion, tomato
½ can Bumble Bee
boneless, skinless canned salmon
¼ cup shredded
reduced fat Monterey Jack cheese
2 Tbsp. chipotle
salsa
Irish breakfast tea with ¼ cup skim milk
This is a hearty breakfast that provides a
great dose of lean protein from the salmon and eggs and fiber from the tortilla
and veggies. The protein-fiber
combination ensures that I won’t get hungry very soon after eating – which was
perfect on this morning because I was going to back-to-back meetings and knew I
wouldn’t be able to grab much of a snack in between. Using cheese in my burrito gives me almost a
quarter of my daily calcium needs right off the bat!
Snack
2 Tbsp. chopped walnuts mixed with ½ cup Kashi GoLean cereal and 2
Tbsp. Goji berries
I stuck this bag of cereal trail mix in my
purse in the morning because I knew I’d need something to keep my energy level
up as I approached lunchtime. Planning
for snacks like this really helps me when I have a meeting that stretches into
my lunch hour (or past it) because it allows me to focus on the information in
the meeting rather than my hungry stomach.
I usually keep a bag of cereal trail mix in my desk and my purse at all
times for emergencies. Mixing cereal in
with the fruit and nuts helps add more fiber and keeps the calories lower, as
opposed to mixes that just use nuts.
