Good morning!!!!!

I am not a morning person, but I am excited to start fresh today.  If you have read any of my posts, you know I have decided to switch my diet around.  This is my first meal.  This is not regular toast, this is higher fiber and protein bread.  

I am a physician and a very busy person.  I am now geographically separated because my work is over 1,100 miles from my wife and son.  I have to wake every morning and not only make breakfast but also exercise.  Today, I will start with a 500 calorie meal.  I am going to have toast with yogurt butter and coffee and milk.

Breakfast #1

Break down of the meal:

• Carbohydrates: 58 grams or 52% of the calories
  • Fiber: 9 grams so that is a net of 49 grams of carbs that will become a sugar
• Protein:    22 grams or 20% of the calories
• Fat:   19 grams or 28% of the calories

This is a fairly well balanced breakfast with a good amount of carbs to start the day.  I know I splurged on coffee creamer.  I have to make up for it the rest of the day.  If I were going to cut something out, it would be the creamer.  I just like creamer so have to accept the risk.
