Have you tried making an oatmeal egg white pancake?
Veronica
That sounds like something I would like. I'll have to investigate
They're pretty easy. I use the same amount of oatmeal as egg whites, mix it in a blender. I add a little bit of maple syrup and some cinnamon. It cooks up like a crepe and then you can put whatever you want on them. I like peanut butter. They can also be wrapped and eaten as a portable snack later.

I shouldn't be reading this when I am hungry.
That is usually a bad idea Crankin :)
Today (full rest day)
B: breakfast frittata/casserole, coffee
L: roast chicken thighs, steamed carrots
S: Coconut manna and a few pecans, stuff is quite addicting!
D: Salad with different types of lettuce, fermented veggies, ham, small amount of home-made mayo as dessert. Small banana for dessert
Tomorrow morning I am heading out early for a road trip, so will hit my home kettlebell herd for a workout first thing. I am unaccustomed to working out BEFORE eating, we will see how that works out - it just streamlines my schedule if I do it that way. I am enjoying being able to follow up with my KB coach's training suggestions at home as well as at the gym. Starting already to train for a competition early next year. I've a long ways to go, but I am really enjoying myself! REALLY enjoying my new coach's style - he is much more like a mentor than a drill sargent. He also knows when to pull me back so I don't hurt myself. THAT is why I need to work with professional peeps!
Have a great time at the wedding, Catrin.
Had half a banana before boot camp.
B: 2 eggs over easy, with salsa, 1/4 avocado, an orange, coffee
L: left over stuffed squash from last night, an apple
S: slice of spelt bread with cashew butter (this stuff is like crack for me)
D: I ate one whole wheat pita chip and hummus while cooking. I made a new recipe for black bean burgers; this was a fail. We ate them, but there was too much liquid, I ended up putting some quinoa flakes in there, along with the 1/4 cup panko, but they still fell apart. Tasted good, but I have other similar recipes. Had 2 of those sort-of patties, roasted asparagus, more avocado slices. 2 squares dark chocolate
B: can of tuna in olive oil, tomato slices, melted low fat cheddar. 1/4 avocado, an orange. coffee
rode to work (5.2 miles) and had a bite of a Lara Bar before I left
ate half a banana before I rode home, as it was already 12:45.
L: one chicken thigh and a small amount of left over chick peas/quinoa, an apple
S: slice of Machengo, so I wouldn't be hungry while grocery shopping
D: scrod with a sauce of tomato, jalepenos, yellow pepper, with cauliflower rice and spinach. glass of rose wine, 2 squares dark chocolate
half a banana before boot camp
B: egg whites, kale, lox, an orange, coffee
L: chicken salad with cranberries and walnuts in 2 butter lettuce leaves, an apple
S: half a banana, a Luna Bar at 5 PM
D: whole wheat tortilla/cheese crisp with black bean, tomato, cilantro, cheese filling. sliced oranges and avocado. glass of rosé
Recovering from driving 900+ miles in three days (family wedding)
B: thawed out breakfast casserole, coffee
KB training (hard one!) followed some rowing and then a protein shake

D: one chicken/spinach/fontana sausage (Trader Joes) with a big pile of steamed veggies
B: shredded chicken, left over black beans/tomato/cilantro, salsa. blueberries, coffee
5 mile commute to work
L: tuna salad, an orange
S: an apple at around 3, slice of spelt raisin bread and almond butter right before I rode home, another 5 miles
D: sautéed scallops, Brussel sprouts, sweet potato, half a glass of red wine
Yesterday (rest day)
B: eggs scrambled with veggies, coffee
L: Mixed green salad with lots of veggies and a chicken sausage, home-made mayo for dressing
D: West African Chicken stew (used home-made almond butter rather than sunbutter), 1/2 sweet potato
B: egg whites, kale, lox, slice of spelt bread with almond butter, an orange, coffee
I went on a very hilly 31 mile ride. Did some experimenting with nutrition; had a 20 oz. bottle of Skratch Lab exercise hydration (lemon-lime) and about 6 oz water, one Lara Bar and 2 Shot Blocks. It really helped.
L: this was part of the ride, a catered lunch to raise funds for the PMC (for the leader today). There were a variety of small sandwiches. I took 2, scraped the chicken salad out of one and didn't eat the roll, I ate the other, which was turkey and cheese. Half an orange.
S: had coffee when I got home and a handful of pecans and dried apricots
D: chicken posole soup, 2 squares dark chocolate
half a banana before boot camp
B: hard boiled egg, slice of spelt raisin bread and almond butter, coffee (all in the car)
L: 4 oz gazpacho, green lentil, zucchini, feta salad
D: we went out and I made the mistake of getting some spicy tomato soup at the gastropub. It was awesome, but I was not feeling too well this morning, still lingering now. Also had a beer and 3 lamb meatballs.
B: tuna on sliced tomato, an orange and strawberries, tea, coffee
L: roasted beet salad with 4 oz grilled salmon
S: piece of matzah and butter. This is comfort food for me, and I felt crappy
D: 2 baked chicken thighs with olive oil, mashed parsnips, salad. 2 squares dark chocolate
Sort of skipped the weekend.
B: endive stuffed with cream cheese and lox, sliced mango, coffee. Ate a couple of dried apricots before I rode to work, 5 miles
S:half a banana
L: chicken salad with cranberries and walnuts, an apple, the other half of the banana
S: a Lara Bar at 3 and a slice of spelt bread and walnut butter at 6, before I rode home
D: I went to a committee meeting of my bike club, and had half a turkey sandwich, broccoli salad, and regular salad, one beer
