Brown Hash House Waffle
Okay, so now you've got a few solid choices for keeping breakfast in the 250-300 calorie range: Hot cereal , cold cereal, and eggs. But now you're skimming down the menu for some alternatives. I'll reiterate here that I don't want to be the scold who tells you what not to eat. But the goal here is to make a 1,200 calorie day go by as easily and with as few hunger pangs as possible, and the way to do that is to keep the breakfast stats on the low end.
One other thing I'll mention here, though, is that the nice thing about a lo-cal diet like this one is that unlike, say, the Atkins Diet, it's not the end of the world if you bend the rules now and then. If you cross the line into a couple 1,300 days, you'll still lose weight, particularly if you make the effort to balance it out. Have an unusually caloric breakfast one day? Okay, maybe have an unusually low one the next day. Or skip lunch. Or exercise a bit longer. Or … whatever. It happens. This diet would hardly be all that "likable" if there was no room for the occasional cheat, right? So let's not consider the items in this column flat-out DON'Ts. They're just … a tad more expensive, let's say. For example …
French Toast
So if we're talking about standard go-to's like pancakes, waffles and French toast, let's address their common element first, and face facts: a) They're all about syrup, and b) that's the problem. Two tablespoons of maple syrup is about 100 calories. That's the real maple syrup, mind you; the phony stuff like Aunt Jemima is a tad higher. How much syrup do you generally pour on a typical serving of these things? If you're like me, probably more than two tablespoons, but let's pretend that's accurate for the moment.
