Using a small plate fools the eye and can make it seem
like you are eating more than you really are.
Old habits die hard. Sometimes not at all! For the great majority of my life I have been a toast-for-breakfast kind of gal. Eggs? Meh... This morning as I stood there having a staring contest with the carton of eggs, trying to convince myself it was a good choice, it dawned on me that eggs would taste SO much better with toast. The loaf sitting on the counter says each slice has half of my daily allowance of carbs. (I'm doing one more week at 25g/day.) The good news is that when I lifed up the loaf of bread to read the nutrition info I saw the bag of Flatouts that had been hiding under there. Hmmmm.... I wonder...? I took a half of the flatbread and threw it in the toaster. It worked perfectly! Today I stuck to adding just a little butter, but in the future I can see adding a little peanut butter or LC jelly or even cream cheese. If Flatout offers stock to the public I am going to go buy some!
Did you know that toast even has its own theme song? For those who have a slightly warped sense of humor, I invite you to listen to it. (it's not off-color, just silly).
