Eating to Run: Breakfast of Champions

Morning fuel for your run matters. Make it count! This WW-and running-friendly breakfast is only 4.5 points. (If you have more points to play with, add up to 2 T. flax seed for great omega oils and healthy fats & lignins.) Statistical research is clear: people who eat breakfast lose and maintain substantially more weight than folks who don't. So, take five minutes and fuel that run with my preferred power breakfast. Enjoy!

Oatmeal: Mix1 cup organic oatmeal (appx. 1/2 cup dry), 2 T. dried cranberries and 1/2 T. organic flax seed. Add a drizzle of fat free half & half if you'd like. (Hint: They sell cases of excellent organic oatmeal at Costco for cheap!)

My bowl of organic oatmeal is accompanied by 1 light n fit yogurt, Coffee w/fat free Half & Half, Water and a Multivitamin w/ Iron.

It's healthy, high in fiber, takes just minutes to prepare, is energizing, low fat and filling!
