Menu sounds alot like yesterdays.

I have returned to my oatmeal concoction for breakfast today and it worked its usual magic; quality and content,..and removal of those tuff to remove clogs :O)!!!

It is:

1 cup egg whites
 2 cups oatmeal (1 minute variety)
 1 (23 gm) scoop Whey Protein powder
 1 small banana diced

I can get down abut half for breakfast and the other half for lunch.

   1 cup oatmeal (casserole??)

I also bought some sweats with a hoodie to promote and motivate myself to get out and walk/jog more frequently inbetween my days of reffing basketball games.
I entertained the masses at a game Wednesday night; while running backward on a fastbreak to the opposite basket, while trying to watch the ball handler and stay out of the way, I changed directions gong backwards and did a backrol twisty somersalt kinds manuver that was a crowd pleaser, as I completed my crash-flip-roll, got to my feet and kept officiating.  My back let me know if wasn't happy later in the evening as I became less mobile.  I am fine but it was exciting...

Its Friday guys,  we're almost there!!!!

Well yes my menu is pretty much a repeat.  Breakfast is always repetitive for me, sucks cause I do get bored of it & there just isn't that many options for me that I can fix at work.  Lunch I ended up going out to subway instead of my taco salad, thus the salad today.  But today I had catalina instead of peanut butter with my celery and an apple instead of popcorn, which actually I never got to yesterday afternoon  :)

Wow, Joe, sounds like quite a show!  Are you on YouTube yet?  ;)  Glad you're okay and doing well.  Your oatmeal "casserole" sounds great.....may have to give it a try.  I have a recipe from a restaurant in Lancaster County that I have been craving, but I need to figure out substitutions....yours sounds great.  Have a great weekend!  :)

Just for the record,...to make my oatmeal creation that began as simple1-min oatmeal with protein powder,...then I picked up adding clover honey,..then I replaced the honey with apple juice and cut back on the water,....and,...well,.....I make it the following way and it cooks about as fast as I can put it all together and put it in the gladware container to take with me:

water or juice in the pot.
turn on the stove eye.
add the egg whites ( I buy the whites in the qt container at Walmart)
peel the banana except for one side and dice in my hand, peel side down) so it falls into the pot as I cut it.
scoop the oatmeal into the gladware container ( and out the container back)
add the oatmeal and stir
remove from heat and add the protein powder and stir
add water or skim milk to desires consistency.
scrape into gladware and cover.
(Note it will thicken as it cools)
The whole thing takes 5-8 mins to prep and pack

tweak recipe as desired; i certainly did.

Going to give it a try tomorrow morning...thanks, Joe!  :)

I've never been much of a breakfast person.
I have to be at work at 7 am and would rather sleep until the very last minute.
I make a coffee concoction consisting of:
1/2 c. skim milk
1 scoop Click protein powder
1scoop vanilla protein powder
1 tbsp s/f choc syrup.
Stir the heck out of it and put it in a travel mug.
When I get to work, I add a cup of hot half-caf coffee and then I sip on that all morning.
Filling... a little caffeine to get me going... some calories for energy... and 23 g. protein.
Lunch is usually a small carton of 2% cottage cheese with pineapple, although today I
ate 1/2 ham/cheese on rye left over from lunch at Panera yesterday.
Snack was a s/f swiss miss with a scoop of chocolate protein powder in it.
Dinner tonight will probably be turkey slices with a veggie of some kind.
PM snack will be a Nectar protein shake and 1/2 an apple.
