If I have a reasonable lunch I'm almost guaranteed to be in a deficit for the day too - it gives me a lot of flexibility on what I eat for the rest of the day.
It's not the most enjoyable meal to eat - I don't add any sugar or sweeteners - but I'm so used to it now that I eat it every morning. I don't really miss the weekend meals of bacon, sausages, fried eggs and hashbrowns anymore.
Also helps that it's made me super regular.  |
Nice!
Mine is:
1 scoop protein powder
1 scoop oats
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp zero calorie maple syrup
mix with water to a consistency I like (and accounting for melted fruit juices)
2 handfuls of frozen blueberries or strawberries
Comes in around 500 calories (all of my meals do, or less). Eat 4x per day and I'm guaranteed in a deficit as long as I do my 10k walking per day.
At some point, I'd like to try and find some canned pumpkin as it's also a good option (low cal, high on satiety scale). Should end up tasting like pumpkin pie.
