Since seeing my nutritionist, I've been trying to pick up the habit of actually HAVING breakfast (not that i dont eat breakfast foods, i certainly do, i just eat them at night watching family guy re-runs). I just have never had an appetite in the morning, and i know its a good habit, but I cant be nutritional angel all the time. Anyways, my breakfast is usually more like a lunch, but my nutritionist convinced my its time to pick up this healthy habit and actually start having real breakfast (like, in th morning like normal people). Anyhow, i love cereal and i do eat it at night EVERYNIGHT (totally not kidding, i love it!), so i thought i might try something different for the morning. Scanning the aisles at the grocery store, Uncle Sam's new Instant oatmeal popped up and thought i would try it out. Oatmeal is not to heavy like bacon and pancakes, so maybe i can actually down this in the morning without feeling sick. 1 packet is 38g with 130 calories, 3 g fat, 5 g fiber, 5 g protein, and no sugars. Nutrtionally very impressive....but the taste? well what irked me most about this was the measly portion, 38 g does not fill even half my bowl! It tastes like traditional oatmeal but it did have this Uncle Sam cereal bit in the mix which added an interesting crunch. It was indeed unsweetened and hence a bit bland (i added some light maple syrup). It was ok, but i dont think i like oatmeal all that much. I had a feeling i was liking the cereal bits with the maple syrup more so i am going to figure that next time, i am just going to buy the Uncle Sam cereal and mix into it light maple syrup. But then again, i am trying to stray from the cereal for breakfast habit...hmmm maybe i will have to settle for eggs and pancakes.
