Don't want to eat breakfast!
I guess I am in a rut. I don't necessarily eat breakfast foods for
breakfast and I usually don't eat my breakfast until noon or 1:00. I find I keep putting it off until later and later because I just don't have the desire to eat. Yes, I am usually hungry. But nothing sounds good to eat. For a while I ate toast. But I don't really like toast. Never did. Then I switched to Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but since it is high in carbs the amount I could eat of it was very small. I actually got pretty sick of it. I never really liked cereal but for some reason I found I could eat it and it didn't bother me. Then I switched to polenta with tomato sauce. But I guess I got burned out on that. A couple of times a week I will have cottage cheese but that doesn't seem to work so well for me. The problem? I need some carbs. Yes there are carbs in that but seemingly not enough. I try to add a few pretzels or corn chips but I can never seem to get the right carb count. If I don't get enough carbs, I spike just as I would with too many carbs. Grrr... I might eat bacon every once in a while but for the most part I don't like meat. I don't digest vegetables very well. I can do beans. I have a case of canned kidney beans. Maybe I'll try eating those. I do digest mashed potatoes very well but I am getting sick of those because I have them for dinner or a bedtime snack fairly often. Ever get into a rut where you just don't want to eat? I know not eating would be the worst thing for me to do. I do have to take insulin and pills when I get up. |

I have a similar problem with breakfast, in that what I really like to have is mostly verboten. It's 9:30 and I haven't eaten breakfast yet. (Luckily my BG was 85 when I got up, and I don't seem to suffer from dawn phenomenon these days...) Have you considered adding some fruit to either cottage cheese or yogurt? I like cottage cheese with an apple diced into it, and half a cup with a 100gm apple is about 20 gms of carb. (Which means I can't have it for breakfast, but oh well, lunch is okay.) Greek yogurt with some thawed frozen blueberries or strawberries and sweetener of your choice might also work. |

I've tried canned pears with cottage cheese. Didn't work. I can't stand most other fruits. Don't like yogurt at all. And the problem with dairy is I can have it only twice a week. |
