Should i cook it or should i eat something

is it too unhealthy ?

If I was set on eating the bagel, I think I'd opt for just the bagel and a couple tablespoons of Philadelphia fat free strawberry spread.

Not sure what your daily goals are...so it's kinda hard to tell how this fits into what you're trying to do. I've certainly eaten worse for breakfast!

E.

Like the above poster says, it's hard to say without knowing your daily calorie requirement, but I think it looks awesome. You have protien, whole grains, fiber, fruit, calcium. You could add an extra egg white and halve the cheese if you wanted to increase your protien-fat ratio.

Sweetie ... I don't think you're getting it. If there's a way I can better help explain it then I'm more than willing to try, though.

You can't take one item or one meal and ask "is this ok". You keep asking if this breakfast is ok or that breakfast is ok or is it ok if you eat this or that.

I could tell you that this breakfast is fine, but not if it's all you eat all day. Or if the only other thing you have the rest of the day is a cup of soup.

You have to think of what you eat as more than just this item or that item. It's about your overall diet - and I don't mean diet as in "to lose weight" but diet in the more encompassing term of "what you eat every day".

Is that breakfast good? Yes, if you follow it up with a healthy lunch - say a turkey sandwich on whole grain with some veggies - and if you follow that up with a healthy dinner - say baked chicken with veg and some brown rice.

If that breakfast is all you're going to eat all day, then no, it's not good.

I really suggest you read the stickie posts in the nutrition section of the board and in the advanced weight loss section. There's a ton of information that helps explain nutrition and how you need to consider EVERYTHING you eat as part of the whole.

I don't mean to "yell" at you or be mean - but if you want this to work, you are going to have to do some reframing of your point of view.

I never thought something wheat was good
but yes i know i have to follow it up with a healthy lunch & dinner
ill try my best!

Thank You

Whole grains are good and there's nothing wrong with a bagel for breakfast - if it's part of a balanced meal.

What you described above looks like a good breakfast. But are you going to follow it up with a good lunch and a good dinner? That's the key. Not just the amount of calories you eat, but the type of calories you eat.

no protein or fat if you do this however. her original breakfast is much better imo, has a little bit of everything..

Well, as I mentioned in my original post, it really depends on what she's trying to do. If she plans on eating a 600 calorie lunch and an 800 calorie dinner with a couple 200 calorie snacks...she might miss her calorie goal for the day (which we don't know what it is???). She also may be getting plenty of fats and protiens from other sources.

I agree this alone isn't necessarily bad...but we don't have enough details to determine how it fits in the big picture (much to what Kara alluded to).
