Love Of Oats

A blog dedicated to balancing a healthy and fun life… with oats!

Overate?

Today is definitely not going as fast as yesterday, but I’m almost halfway through my short workweek, so I’m trying to be optimistic… it almost feels like a Monday to me, I guess I reversed the days!

The breakfast bulgur held me over AMAZINGLY well, I can’t get over it… I was a little skeptical since the serving size is half of what oatmeal is… I still needed my mid-am snack, but not until 10am (ate at 5:45am)! I had a cottage cheese with 1/4 cup of Kashi Go Lean. If you can’t tell, adding Kashi to cottage cheese or yogurt is my new favorite snack combination!

Since it’s a little damp and semi-dreary today, I thought a soup & Sandwich combination would be best & filling. Well, this lunch didn’t dissapoint. I had 1 cup of Amy’s Black Bean soup (oh how I missed you!) and tuna, dijon mustard, & spinach on a wheat english muffin… I am SO full that I feel like I overate… However, I did the quick calorie math in my head and figured out my lunch was around 300 calories, not a lot… but I’m guessing I feel that way from the fiber from both the soup & the english muffin…

Ok, well it’s back to work… I wanted to ask you all: What are your favorite on the go snack combinations (so I can get some ideas for our long car ride on Friday!)?

    That’s fantastic! I really could’ve used a 4 hour tide for breakfast this morning.

    My favorite on-the go snack is a smoothie, larabars, granola bars, dried fruit, nuts, dry cereal. Mm, anything really!

    Last time I went on a long plane ride I brought a bag of almonds, chocolate chips and Kashi Heart2Heart cereal – delicious!

    Clif ZBars or Gnu bars are always another great choice :)
