What Are you Having for Breakfast Today?

Today (and yesterday and the day before...) I had a cup of lf plain yogurt with a tablespoon of sf, ff cheesecake jello, splenda and a 1/4 of a chopped banana mixed in!


My morning snack will be the remainder of the banana and a cup of steel cut oats, which leads me to another question.


I take 1 cup of steel cut oats, cook with 5 cups of liquid (3 cups milk and 2 cups water), splenda, a 1/2 cup of finely chopped walnuts, and depending on my mood cinnamon, nutmeg, etc for flavorings.


From all this I get 6 cups of oatmeal.  I know this because I divy it up into one cup serving containers.  So what is the actual grain serving I'm getting?  1, less than 1? or more?  I've been counting it as one

Thank you - so I'm going to count my cup of cooked oatmeal as one serving since I use one cup uncooked and get 6 one cup servings out of it.

I actually ate breakfast in shifts today, around my walk and getting ready for work:


crunchy kashi bar w/ cream cheese


1/2 mini cuke w/ wedge of LC light


2 fried eggs on 1/2 flat-out flatbread w/ lettuce and a teeny bit of mayo w/ evoo; 6oz V8


I guess the first two things were really pre- and post-walk snacks; the last thing was really a late breakfast.

I have never thought to put cream cheese on a kashi bar, but boy does that sound tasty!
