My Breakfast – Coffee and 4 “Timebits”
I get lots of questions about my diet and what I eat. And my honest answer is that I eat whatever I want and whenever I want.
Unless you actually hang out with me on a daily basis you really can only take my word for it, but I figured I’d try to make it a bit more real by adding in a photo of my typical morning coffee and munchies.
Victoria takes care of my morning coffee!
This is a pic of me and my main coffeetime girl Victoria. She takes care of my morning coffee and chooses my timebits for me.
This is really how I eat, and if you’ve been following my progress since Aug you already know I’ve lost over 30 lbs this way. This is just what I do in the mornings.
I’ll eat other things throughout the rest of the day, but there isn’t much of a pattern or template that I am following.
The only thing I pay attention to is total calories.
John

Do you pay attention to protein, or aim for some minimum grams? Do you count calories or estimate?

I never thought of it that way. I pay so much attention to my portion control because it’s what I struggle with the most. However, if I can eat a little sliver of something that packs more fat in it that a plate of something, what’s the use of the portion control right?

Do you eat low fat, or low calorie sugar free foods just because they are a lower calorie version? Or do you use real syrup on waffles, full fat yogurt, full fat salad dressing, etc?
Also, what do you think about fiber in the diet? Do we really need as much as the recommended amount?
Thanks for the great blog. It is changing my thinking about food and helping my OCE.

Dave,
I never consider the fat or sugar content of the food I eat…just the total calories.

Hey John ,
Did you read this Yahoo article
http://health.yahoo.com/news/healthday/caloriecountsonfoodlabelingoftenoff.html;_ylt=AixSl0IQ1anf.Jwz_fNbmIpLvs8F
It stated that many calorie labels are off, should people be concerned about it or just follow exactly what is written on the box? Thanks

Kenneth,
Glad you brought this up. Food labels are an average or an estimate of what the food item ‘should’ have. Sometimes it overestimates and sometimes it underestimates.
For example: If you go out and buy a 6 pack of muffins from the bakery all 6 of them might not be exactly the same weight, so 3 of them might have slightly more calories than the others (even though they’re in one package with one nutrition label giving a calorie count for all of them)
I would suggest as a general rule to assume that the foods we eat have more calories than we assume. This way at least we are err on the side of lower calories than higher.

what is a timebit?

It’s the coffee time version of the “timbit”
For those of you who aren’t familiar with tim hortons items I guess they are called “munchkins” at dunkin donuts in the states.
