Patecones
I'm going to try making Costa Rican patecones for breakfast. They are fried plaintains in a sweet syrup. Not low cal but very good.kit

Sounds yummy Deb,
Small amounts of delicious food is a real joy, despite calories. I had plain Greek yogurt, and organic oatmeal with a dab of almond butter for protein. Let us know how the patecones come out!MrsHonniB

Chocolate Flakes
Just curious - did you have Hagelslag? I believe you are from the Netherlands; correct? My husband is Dutch and we eat Hagelslag often on buttered toast! My girls had that for breakfast today :)MrsHonniB

Hagelslag
No Vickie, I didn't eat hagelslag, but you're right, that's one of the dutch foods especially kids love to eat(-; I think there's too much sugar in the regular Hagelslag, and fat, and less real coco......but my mom eats real dark Hagelslag sometimes, I do like that kind. Say Hello to you hubbie from me, greetings from rainy Netherlands!bren67

Breakfast today
Today I had a piece of whole wheat toast with some almond butter and peanut butter along with a fresh pear and some tea. I pulled out Mireille's cookbook last night for some inspiration, so hopefully, I can post some interesting dinner dishes on the "what are you having for dinner" thread! I have added a few pounds lately so I am trying to get back on track! I fell into some old ways lately - snacking, grazing on what is in front of me, and eating standing up. I am trying to get back to three proper meals a day with lots of water, fresh fruit/veggies, and walking. I may do the MBC for breakfast this week too. Wish me luck!malkan

I made a frittata by sauteing thin fresh lemon slices in black truffle oil, then combining with leftover couscous and tomatoes. Added an egg, sprinkled it with cracked black pepper and grated romano cheese. Wonderful! Black coffee with.Vintage1944

Yesterday I ate lunch out
Yesterday I ate lunch out with my husband and the restaurant served us a bread basket with wonderful looking cheese bread and cinnamon bread. We didn't touch them; we asked to have them wrapped. Just had a piece of each for breakfast. The cheese bread is unbelievably good. Black tea and 4 prunes.Vintage1944
POSTED: Wed, 06/29/2011 - 9:27am
Brilliant idea
I would never have thought of having the bread wrapped to take home.Bread is my petit demon and my great love.I simply can't send the bread basket away but this could work and extend the treat.Thanks for this.ChristineE

I bring home everything! I
I bring home everything! I eat half the portion-there's lunch the next day. I bring home whatever breads or crackers they've given me-breakfast or an accompaniment to another meal the next day. Our lunch came with dessert, too. We shared one slice of (heavenly) orange pound cake with a scrumptious glaze and had the chocolate ganache cake wrapped. Two days later we shared that with tea over a game of backgammon. You will be pleasantly surprised how far these items go! I can't believe some are able to force themselves to eat it all in one sitting!ChristineE

MBC
I must mention that I have been having this everyday for two years. The only time I haven't is when I cannot get my fave yogurt and then I am always amazed at how hungry I am all day. I had to laugh about a visit to the GI the other week, when the dr. told me to get acidophilous supplements. I told her I eat yogurt everyday. She replied I should still get the supplements, as most people do not eat high quality yogurt and are not consistent. I had to chuckle as I thought of everyone here, and how consistent we aim to be! Next visit I am taking the bottle in to show her the high quality as well as to remind her that I have eaten it everyday for two years!!!! Christine, I am totally with you on pancakes and sausage, my fave! I too have been struggling with compensations, so this week, I am focusing on 50%, chewing slowly, and drinking more water. I feel the difference already. I am always reassured how when I stray, once I come back, my body reponds beautifully!ChristineE

This week a struggle
I'm having a tough week with portions, things are tempting me than usual. I'm trying, again, today to get under control. I had a cup of black tea, lovely peach and 12 grain toast with butter.
