@@roundisashape -- JIF!! So many chemicals but SO GOOD! Honestly, it is the best tasting Peanut Butter out there! lol. I try to switch to real natural peanut butter but it just isn't the same. I also need to lay off the peanut butter. I have gotten into the habit of having peanut butter on multigrain crackers with my meals. I HAVE to stop! And I never used to be a peanut butter fanatic but now I can't stop!

@esskay77: What I should be eating for Breakfast, but am not: Protein pancakes; home made low carb protein muffins, scrambled eggs with veggies. These are examples of the foods that I aspire to be organized and motivated enough to eat for breakfast. But since they require more effort than opening a package, they don't get eaten often. Eggs are easy, of course and you don't need to keep a bunch of ingredients on hand, but I find them boring if eaten more than once a week. Also, for some reason, eggs are super filling and I can only eat one at a time and one is not enough protein for a meal.

@@IcanMakeit Thanks for the ideas! I need portable breakfasts since I usually eat at work. We have a cafeteria but they aren't very good and they are VERY slow! But, maybe some scrambled eggs might work. They didn't do well with omelettes--each person made them SO differently. I usually put salsa on top but I may do that for some scrambled eggs. I generally bring in some hard boiled eggs and have them with my Kashi bar and coffee. Then later around 10:30, if I remember, I have a yogurt. But I like some of your ideas and may try them myself.

I wish I could quit.....cheese. I put eat string cheese once a day but I also use laughing cow once a day and if I can justify it I put a cheese slice on my chicken at dinner. "protein" I tell myself.....even though I could easily skip it and still meet my Protein goal. I'm determined to get it down to one serving a day, period!

I also wish I could quit coffee creamer.....no I don't....yes I do.....no I don't! Ugh!! I feel deprived if I don't have my chocolate carmel coffee creamer in the morning! Since I absolutely positively refuse to deprive myself of anything ever again I will probably have it every morning in my coffee until I go to my grave!

I just came across this recipe on Pinterest.com for homemade Creamer. Mix together 1 can sweetened condensed milk, 2 cups milk (any kind), 1/3 cup Torani flavored Syrup, (any flavor, maybe caramel ?). This recipe pointed out that this only had 3 ingredients verses 13 ingredients in a bottle of Coffeemate. If you dont like this recipe just Google homemade coffee creame. Good luck !!

I'm not knocking this recipe, I don't drink coffee so I don't really care much one way or the other about creamer. But for whoever wrote the recipe to say it only has three ingredients versus 13 in Coffeemate is a bit misleading. I mean yes, you're only putting three "ingredients" into it, but how about what those ingredients are made of? Torani itself has probably 8 or 10 ingredients.

salty crunchy things, potato chips, doritos, heck they came out with these special k cracker chips, only 120 calories for like 28 chips and low in carbs and sugar, and have like 8 grams of Protein, but i still should not indulge. i ate some doritos and some chips the other day for the super bowl, and now im stuck in a stall for two days, sigh, gotta learn the hard way i guess.

also on that homemade creamer, sweetened condensed milk is made by putting corn Syrup or in some cases cane syrup, into heavy cream. You might as well drink pure sugar. That's the single worst thing i can think of besides just chugging cane sugar lol. be careful out there.

Half & half. It's like 100 calories of my daily allowance but I can't do my coffee without it.
