Happy 4th, America

...You don't spend time buying / planning / preparing/ eating breakfasts ( and dinners in my case ) So much extra time in the day.....

Well, my typical breakfast is a handful of walnuts and a few cherries or other fruit, or a greek yogurt, or a hard-boiled egg...not exactly time-consuming, LOL.

I haven't been a fan of "traditional breakfast foods" for many years. The typical carb breakfast (donuts, toast or cereal) leaves you ravenous pretty quickly, and
the version with fried eggs & bacon+++ is enough to weigh you down & into a coma. I'm not above eating non-traditional foods for breakfast when not in a hurry
or swimming: I love a big bowl of cooked spinach, broccoli or kale & sweet corn, plus something for protein. Now & then I even make french toast.

I also enjoy food enough to fuss with enchiladas, turkey/chicken/Cornish game hens, pizza, stuffed peppers, spaghetti, pasta salad, tostadas, burgers & sandwiches.
I "save time" by making deliberate "leftovers", & for anyone trying not to gain weight, it's helpful to eat things you love but with some repetition, so you eat for your
actual hunger instead of the novelty. When you eat out a lot or eat something different every day, most of us tend to eat too much, being a little too "food focused".

I've always focused on eating "mostly" healthy stuff, & there are ways to make what you LIKE so it's good for you too. I do eat deserts, but I don't live on them
either. And all this talk is making me hungry... dinner time!
