plain, but if i had to pick i once had a cinnamon-raisin one from kashi that was pretty good

skim milk in a travel cup, a piece of fruit, and a baggie of dry cereal

or a skim milk, banana and almond butter smoothie

5. go to lunch when in a pinch?

in a pinch for me i guess would mean that i didn't pack my lunch, so I'd probably buy a salad with cucs, tomatoes and spinach at school, dress it in balsamic vinegar, and eat with a low fat string cheese or an egg, and piece of fresh fruit

6. go to dinner when in a pinch?

egg whites w/ salsa, frozen veggies, toast w/ smart balance

Top Chef, if that counts

bran is yummy, either apple bran or raisin bran

10. favorite waffle/pancake/crepe topping?

peanut butter and banana

cream cheese and i are not friends, but if i had to choose, i guess low-fat plain, maybe at one point it was this cinnamon-raisin-walnut concotion, but i'm deff over that

12. favorite variety of bagel?

love the grainy kind, whole wheat or multigrain

13. favorite make at home substitute for restaurant/fast food meal?

scrambled egg whites with one whole egg, a white potato rubbed in olive oil and baked in fry shapes, a chocolate 'milk shake' made of a cup of skim milk, fat free chocolate frozen yogurt (1/2 cup) and a sugar free jello pudding cup, with whole wheat toast w/ smart balance. WHEWW is it filling, and still pretty caloric, but its honestly less than the one at my local diner would be, and MUCH healthier.

so yes, alot of sugar. But I did get lots of iron and not so much saturated fat, so I call it a win! It was around 2000, which is my burn w/o exercise, so it was still tech a weight loss day, and it was yummy! Besides its one day, and I made healthy choices when I didn't have to. I'm proud of me :)

Sorry for the epic post lol.
