Breakfast, what did you have? (Page 2)

uhm....just don't go there.  I have not been in a McD's in over a decade. I usually don't eat food that come out of bags and boxes, which means no processed foods, only the real thing.  So I get to eat a ton and the weight is coming off 

Have you read "Fast Food Nation"? That'll sure help!

MMMMM... a Diet Coke drip. That would be..... I'm not sure what that would be... or how to describe it to you water drinking, flaxseed, whole food eating, veggie lovin' fruit-heads.... ha ha.

Just kidding, I aspire to your eating habits. Baby steps.

Do you all remember the other day when I had a hankerin' for a Big Mac? I resisted!

Metabolism?

If she eats McD's for breakfast and then eats well and lower on cals for the rest of the day, she's fine. For instance, if the morning greaseball is 700 cals, she's still got at least 1300 cals left for the day (assuming she's not tiny). Not to say it's particularly healthy or a great idea, just that one need not get fat just because they like McD's.

Now is that up or down from what you weigh now???

My weight has been pretty contstant for most of my life, give or take 15 lbs... My life has also always included alot of restaurant food, fast food, canned food... etc etc... My mother was not much of a cook, my father ate whatever she put in front of him, and I was pretty much raised on Wendy's, McD, Corned Beef hash (with Ketchup!), etc etc... I think it's just what I'm accustomed to, and what my body is used to burning. 

I'm a mesomorph.... so I've got big leg muscles and arm muscles, I'm 5'9" and when I'm fat, I'm about 170... Mostly muscle, though... When I'm thin, I'm about 161-162ish. A solid size 10.

What I'm wondering is if maybe I'm just accustomed to this diet, and that's why it's hard to break free entirely of it??? I've been trying to eat fresher, going for Subway or salads instead of the hard core fast food burger stuff... and that's helped. As far as breakfast, though... I don't find ANYTHING as satisfying as an Egg McMuffin.

It's tough though, isn't it???
Do you ever go back? For a special treat?

What do you eat instead? I don't find anything to be quite as satisfying as McDonalds in the AM. Although tomorrow I will try a banana. Or maybe a couple of bananas.

OK... I'll load up at home and see what happens... Will report tomorrow.

I have cereal (Kashi Go Lean) with blueberries, bananas or strawberries, and probably 3 cups of coffee (which is my vice in the AM).

To be honest, I can't even stand the smell of those fast food places.  I drive/ride by them really fassssttttttt!!!!!!!
