1) I actually like it!
2) It helps lower cholestrol
3) I need more grains and fiber in my diet
4) It is complimented well by fruit (another source of fiber)
On that note - I did not have time to prepare my own so I did get the Starbucks reindition of oatmeal. The oatmeal itself is not so bad, but fruit and nuts add like 200 calories. Note to self... if I am going to be lazy and get Starbucks oatmeal, I should have my own fruit and lower fat items to put in the oatmeal.
On a non-obsessed about health day I would prefer the vegtable breakfast sandwhich. But let's compare the two:
| Oatmeal - 140 calories, | 2.5 | fat (g), 25 | carb (g), 4 | fiber (g), 5 protein (g) |
| Fruit - 100 calories, | 0 | fat (g), 24 | carb (g), 2 | fiber (g), <1 protein (g) |
Vs.
| Veggie Breakfast Sandwhich - 350 calories, | 18 | fat (g), 31 | carb (g), 2 | fiber (g), 17 protein (g) |
On another note, I decided to swop out my traditional fat free mocha for a passion fruit iced tea:
| Caffe Mocha - 170 calories, 2 fat (g), 32 carb (g), <1 fiber (g), 10 protein (g) |
Passion Fruit Iced Tea - 0 calories, 0 fat (g), 0 carb (g), 0 fiber (g), 0 protein (g)
*though I could not find information on the simple syrup
I have enjoyed that sandwhich many a morning and well its time to enjoy a new substative treat when I go to Starbucks. I will allow myself the occassional splurge, but I must post it here to keep myself honest.
Lunch is out again at Stanford's - going to do the blacked salmon sandwhich.
Dinner is at my work Town Hall - greek themed.
