Do your good eating plans go out the window when you are rushed? I think we can all identify with Bill’s comment:
“While I don’t necessarily feel addicted to any type of food my general response to hunger is usually first attracted to the ‘quick-fix’ – as opposed to the task of preparing something fresher and healthier. I guess this isn’t surprising living in a busy, active metropolitan area where packaged or fast-food choices and opportunities are also more abundant.”
Because finding good food fast is such an issue, I am dedicating a post a day this week to:
“EATING IN A PINCH”
Today: BREAKFAST ON THE RUN
STARBUCKS’ PERFECT OATMEAL is a safe way to get your morning fuel. Skip the brown sugar topping and opt for the “Nut Medley”; you will end up with about 25 grams of good carbs and 7 of protein. Add half a cup of cow’s or soymilk for an extra 4 grams of protein: nearly a full serving. And be aware that the tempting fruit topping does contain sugar.
I am always on the lookout for new menu items that qualify as “Fast AND Good”. I’d love to hear of any that you find, Road Warriors!
To Your Health!
