The chicken keeps for a couple days at least, I often do that on a Sunday for the rest of the week....like cook the whole package of chicken and then use it for different things during the week. Honestly, preparation is key here. It takes a little more work to do the healthy diet thing, but it's doable. I'm not home much during the week so I set up stuff on the weekend. Make a big pot of soup on Sunday, or put the stuff in the crockpot in the AM and you come home, add a salad and there's dinner.<br><br>
Witchy is dead on, you are having WAYYY too much of an imbalance of carbs here, especially starchy carbs and fruit sugars. I'm hypoglycemic and I had to add more protein, get my carbs in more grains, like barley, BROWN rice and breads (LOSE the white flour if you're still using it, it's the worst thing for you) and whole wheat pastas. I do some type of protein at every meal, which is getting more challenging now that I'm leaning more vegetarian. Lots of beans, chickpeas, lentils, which fill you up, are higher fiber and lower in fat. Slower to digest means less of a sugar spike, which causes the crashes.<br><br>
You can do this, Jamers....it just takes a little more planning ahead. I would get the Egg Beaters so you can have that in the AM, and make a big pot of oatmeal or multigrain hot cereal at night, then you can just reheat in the AM, add nuts, cinnamon, whatever.....that helps me too.<br><br>
PS---a bagel, in terms of carbs, is really not much better than a donut. That was a big shocker to me.<br><br>
And I've done the protein powder in coffee thing for breakfast, you have to stir real good but it works. I'd get a good quality whey protein rather than Slim Fast, there's more sugar than there needs to be in that crap. I use the chocolate one from Vitamin World. Another good way to up your protein first thing in the morning.
