[Healthy] Food Inspiration

Last weekend was a tough one for my diet, as I got to spend the weekend with my man for the first time in a month. I love spending time with him and we always go do so many fun things together, yet it is never a good thing if I'm trying to watch what I am eating. He, unlike me, is a very picky eater, as well not very health conscience when picking out something to eat. This makes it hard for me to find things to eat when we are together, as he doesn't mind grabbing gas station food or Taco Bell for a meal. Because he is so picky, I also have a hard time finding meals to make at home, that fit within my calorie range and within his taste pallet. I'm going to have to start making some tricky meals for him that taste "normal", yet are much healthier. I've tried a couple of these, thanks to Skinny Taste! One of our favorites from here is the baked Chicken Parmesan. I also have been making some meals from Hungry Girl, but most of these things are skinny desserts, though, I have made skinny onion rings and skinny sweet potato fries from here. Yum! Both of these websites give me some great ideas, that I usually have to tweak to fit my boyfriend's very closed mind towards new food. 

During the week, I'm very busy with school, work, homework, scholarship applications, etc. and I have found some great foods, keeping me full, while being very portable. Here are some breakfast ideas for you:
(Keep in mind, I count calories {on Livestrong.com} to help me reach the weight goal I am hoping for)

Sweet Breakfast Sandwhich
Calories: 290
1 Thomas' Everything Bagel Thin ( I like the extra taste of the everything bagel, but any bagel thin would do)
1 Tbs. Light Cream Cheese
1 Tbs. Peanut Butter
2-3 Strawberries
Small handful of blueberries
Cinnamon

Take the bagel and toast it. Put Cream Cheese on one side and peanut butter on the other. At that point, sprinkle the cinnamon on the cream cheese side (I like to get as much flavor as I can). Next cut the strawberries into slices and lay around one of the bagel. Place the blueberries all around on the side of the bagel. Put the two halves together and eat or put in a bag for a sweet morning breakfast! :)




Another breakfast that I enjoy eating and keeps me extremely full is a simple one, yogurt and granola.
I use greek yogurt, as it is my favorite, but any yogurt would do. I also like to have the Dannon Okios Greek Yogurt with the Strawberries on the bottom, adding a little bit more to my breakfast. I then pack a small bag of granola. Then, when I'm hungry I just pour the granola into the yogurt, mix it all up, and eat. Caution: It is messy until the granola is all mixed in.
This keeps me full for hours! :)


Enjoy your breakfast!! :)
