He has his own landscaping business, which means 10-12 hours of manual labor every day. He often doesn't have time to break for lunch, either. He, too, hates oatmeal (yes, even with bananas!). Hates the texture, hates the taste. And it doesn't fill him up. Anyway, the main issue is that he generally wants unhealthy breakfasts, but I try so hard to eat healthy and want him to, too. Sometimes he eats his "boy" breakfasts which consist of several eggs (like 3-5...although I'm trying to talk him into subbing egg whites for some of those!), some breakfast meat (usually bacon or ham), toast, and fruit. But he also really likes smoothies and they fill him up pretty well. He makes them pretty big, with lots of fruit, milk, and yogurt. And sometimes ice cream :) He also really likes pancakes (I make whole wheat ones) and granola. All stuff that I eat, too, but he'll just eat MORE of it. Once I made him a bowl with plain yogurt, sliced fruit, and almonds, and he LOVED it. And then sometimes I'll pack snacks like trail mix or granola bars or clif bars or something that he can eat quickly while he's working. Kelly L.,

Does anyone have any good breakfast ideas that my husband can eat in the morning? He works a labor intensive job and needs a stick to your ribs meal. He usually has a bowl of cereal (frosted mini wheats, corn pops, or frosted flakes) and a banana. He says it doesn't fill him up. DUH?! It's sugar and carbs. He said cereal just doesn't fill him up, which I agree it doesn't for some people. He thinks oatmeal has the consistency of snot and boogers (sorry). He likes kolaches (not healthy) and eggo waffles (again not nutritional value). Any ideas would be great! Thanks! Hubby Breakfast help!

I thought about putting granola on top but didn't think my shrinking stomach could eat all of that-I was right! I missed my banana too. I had a very vivid dream that I had one left and when I went to the kitchen this morning I was very sad :( I also did dishes, spot cleaned the floors, and cleaned the kitchen. Oh and walked to the train. Now, I'm at work. WOO HOO for productiveness.
