GM/MM breakfasts

[Kristin75]

Hi everyone, I have been doing the "man vs God" made carb thing for a couple of weeks now, but I must admit, once a day, I have been cheating. In the morning, for breakfast, I bring an apple and a low-fat granola bar to eat at work. I realize the granola bar is man-made, but I feel like I need a small carb to get my day going.

My question is...Are there any type of "granola-oat" bars that are organic or something and can be considered "God-made?" If anyone has found something like that, could you let me know? Not to be picky, but I am not into cereal, so that is kind of out...Please let me know if something is out there-- Thanks bunches!!!!!

So what do O blood types eat for breakfast?

Personally I'm allergic to eggs and avoid too much gluten. If I'm not supposed to eat dairy either, that doesn't leave much that's really filling for the rest of the day. As I work it needs to be something that I don't have to prepare for hours and preferably something I can take with me to work if I'm running late.

As it stands I eat fruit, cheese and cold meat. Anyone got any ideas that would vary from that? As it stands I'm stumped with the GM/MM at the first hurdle.

Elleynia: I believe "they" are coming around to thinking that pure oats are probably gluten-free if you can avoid cross-contamination. I know most of my husband's family has either celiac disease or extreme gluten-sensitivity, and the GF-matzo we were chowing down on all Passover was made out of oats, BUT oats grown on fields that had never grown wheat, and ground in dedicated mills. So even regular oatmeal should be relatively Gluten-free, if you're not celiac.

In Israel people eat veggies for breakfast much more than they do here. In general I find I have a tendency to get too rigid with breakfast choices. Like eating cold meats -- that's such a great idea -- why don't I do that?

And your fruit idea sounds excellent. I love fruit for breakfast but I'm always running late so either I will have to cut it up the night before, or it'll be an apple or banana or something eaten on the run. Banana with peanut butter is always yummy.

Do you like fish? Smoked fish, cold poached fish, tuna-burgers, anything like that?

Bean-cakes? (Like a burger or meat-loaf, but made out of smashed beans?) Anyone have a good GM recipe for one?

I don't know. I'm a big egg eater myself, but I have one daughter that really has to watch what she eats and she HATES eggs and recently stopped eating dairy and she's been making some horrible breakfast choices. Of course, she HATES fish more, and wouldn't eat a bean cake if her life depended on it. She might be persuaded to eat a burger, though. Or some cantaloupe.

Any other ideas, anyone?
