. WIAW … breakfast all day .

by Amanda @ .running with spoons. on January 16, 2013

So it’s been about a week (okay, 5 days) since I told you guys that I was going to be experimenting with my diet a little bit, and while I would have loved to use today’s WIAW to give you an update on how it’s going, I have to be honest and tell you that… it’s not. But hear me out!

These past few days have just been wacky. Even though I’ve more-or-less managed to avoid succumbing to the full-blown plague that seems to be sweeping the nation, I’ve still been battling minor symptoms of it, which unfortunately means that my stomach has been feeling less than ideal – think sporadic bouts of discomfort and nausea. Or actually, don’t think about that… no one likes thoughts like those.

In any case, bulked up meals haven’t sounded appealing to me in the least, and because food seems to settle my stomach somewhat, I’ve been snacking like a fiend in an effort to keep any nausea at bay. Not that I’m complaining – you guys know I love my snacking ;) So, this’ll be another typical 8-snack-a-day WIAW. Hopefully I’ll have some updates for you guys next week (damn bug). But for now, let’s see what we’ve got…

WIAW

As per usual, the day starts with breakfast

Breakfast Day Cereal

Plain Greek yogurt – banana – nectarine – Kashi Cinnamon Harvest – Puffins – roasted almond butter.

Continues with lunch [breakfast]…

Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie

Cookie Dough Smoothie:

  • ½ banana
  • ¼ cup oatmeal
  • 1 tsp. ground flax
  • ½ scoop vanilla protein powder
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. vanilla flavor
  • 1 Tbsp. almond butter
  • 1 cup milk

And apparently ends with dinner [breakfast]…

Buckwheat Breakfast for Dinner

Buckwheat groats cooked in 2% milk and cinnamon – warmed apple – raisins – roasted almond butter.

What can I say? When my stomach feels off, all I want are carbs and fruits – the thought of veggies and savory meals just makes my stomach turn. To my credit, though, I did manage to get a least a couple servings of veggies in by snacking on some carrots throughout the day…

Veggie Nibbles

Go me! Buuuuut then I have to go on and admit that the rest of the time I was snacking on things like this…

Fruit and Yogurt Bowl

Plain Greek yogurt mixed with coconut milk – the rest of the banana – blueberries – slivered almonds.

Annie's Bunnies

Annie’s Bunny Grahams.

Watermelon Snacking

Watermelon.

Cappuccino

Starbucks Cappuccino.

Now, this isn’t necessarily representative of the way I eat every day, but on the days where my stomach doesn’t feel the best? It’s all about the carbs, fruits, and yogurts. Did I mention the carbs?

Plain Bread Cravings

Plain toast.

Cinnamon Harvest

Dry Kashi Cinnamon Harvest.

I swear, there’s nothing like dry cereal (or bread) to settle a wonky stomach. If I had saltines, I probably would have resorted to those, but alas… saltines are a rarity around these parts, while the cereal is ever-flowing. Thankfully, things are looking pretty good on the stomach-front so far, so hopefully I’ll be able to get back to eating more ‘normal’ foods today. Happy Wednesday!

TOTALLY agree. Remember my post yesterday – I had a funny stomach and all I wanted was a snack without veggies but sweet! I am sorry that bug bugs you since days and I hope you feel much better soon! I think it’s ALWAYS the best to do to eat what your body needs. And besides that your food looks totally healthy to me!!

I like the texture of them but they don’t have much of a taste so they definitely need a little bit of help in that department. Bananas and apples are a good choice :D

i’m totally with you on the carbs and fruit train except that it’s not just when my stomach is off – it is all i can do everyday not to just eat carbs and fruit. they are primarily all i want. i have to actively plan meals if i want to eat anything savory otherwise i’d pretty much just stick to cereal all day long.

Carbs are the ONLY thing that tastes good when I’m feeling off. If I am going to have veggies, they have to be in soup form or it just isn’t happening. Good call on just going with your cravings- anything goes when I’m ill so long as it sounds appealing. You know my love for breakfast and it almost always features more than once a day for me. Today was a breakfast-for-lunch kinda day: feta omelet with pb & j toast and greens!

Hope you’re feeling better, Amanda!

Do your thing, lady! The important thing is that you’re listening to your body. I agree, when the stomach is wonky all I want are easy carbs…hot grains, bananas, that sort of thing. And it’s all nourishing food, which probably has a lot to do with the fact that you haven’t gotten full-blown sick.

Reply

23 Hayley @ Running on Pumpkin January 16, 2013 at 9:34 am

Oh no I’m sorry you aren’t feeling you best! Definitely not a good time to start experimenting with eating habits when you are having tummy troubles. I love how much breakfast food you eat and totally am on board with all of it – I love anything with greek yogurt and eat way too much of the stuff. Feel better boo <3

24 Meghan @ After the Ivy League January 16, 2013 at 9:56 am

I totally agree, when I was in the throws of my sickness I could barely stomach anything. All I ate was toast with peanut butter OR jelly. Not both, that made me feel sick for some reason. I hope you’re able to fight this thing off! Everyone in the country being sick is definitely not making it easy. Btw, “think sporadic bouts of discomfort and nausea. Or actually, don’t think about that” made me laugh out loud at my desk haha, thanks!

Damn cold for sneakily attacking you! I hope you have somebody caring for you (the boy, your mum, …) and that you’ll feel better soon!

Having felt off for the past days, too, I agree with you on not being up for experimentation. Don’t push yourself to try new things when you’re not feeling it! I hope at least your tastebuds are still working – not being able to taste can be really annoying. Throw in a Monday of not tasting anything yet being ravenous for me this week and I’m understanding my body even less than usually.

As for foods I’m eating on an off stomach? Hmm … my mum used to cook chocolate pudding for me when I was sick as a child so that or applesauce, oats, soy yoghurt (with coconut flour mixed in, obviously :) ). Dairy is a no-go for on sick days so Greek yogurt’s been off for the past week.

And you already know I’m having breakfast for dinner every day :) : Cocoa banana oat bran with almond butter never gets old.

Oh dear I hope you feel better. What always makes me feel better is small meals and comfort foods. Seriously whenever I’m sick all I can think about is toast with cinnamon butter or cereal. Maybe sometimes with soup …. and always ice cream. ;)

If eating breakfast all day everyday is wrong, I don’t wanna be right. Total cheese ball right there but no other words are truer than those… I love breakfast 24/7! Always gotta start and end the day on a sweet note :) When I’m feeling under the weather I usually resort to oats, soup, toast and eggs, or plain pasta with a sprinkle of parm cheese. Fruit and veggies are a no-no, with the exception of bananas. And my fave dry cereal to eat would have to be Kashi Warm Cinnamon Heart to Heart… I cannot keep my hand outta that box!

Whenever my tummy is off I immediately carb load! It’s the only thing that sounds remotely delicious. Carbs and fruit.

Super excited because I ordered more of that cinnamon + spice tea and it just arrived today! Feel better beauty!

I hate when my stomach feels off! I got sick just before Christmas and literally nothing appealed to me so I basically ate applesauce and PB Puffins–not even dry toast made me feel better! And I tried making a green smoothie but that didn’t go down too well either so I’m thinking the next time I get sick, I’ll be stocking up on the applesauce and cereal!

I don’t think I’ve had cereal since I got sick, but my favorite to eat dry is either Udi’s cranberry granola or PB Puffins. Those are like crack!

I had it last month and for a few days, and all I ate was toast with mashed avocado, ginger ale, coconut water, and when I finally felt like I could stomach more, some frozen fruit puree. It was brutal!!! It totally ruined Christmas cookie eating season! Fav dry cereal is Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Dry toast and cereal are probably the best things to have when your stomach isn’t feeling quite right. Totally acceptable to skip the bulked-up meals too. When I’m sick, the LAST thing I want is veggies, but those bunny grahams look like something I need in my life…

Remember, your body needs good food when you’re sick!! :) I’m actually the opposite when I’m sick — I barely ever lose my appetite…

And I think I mentioned this before, but I’ve never ever had breakfast for lunch or dinner. It’s just…. weird for me, lol. Dinner has always been a nice, hot, comforting meal with veggies, starches, and usually some kind of protein. It just wouldn’t feel right if I had something else. I’d feel like I was having a snack if I had breakfast for dinner!

…Which I know has been a topic on your blog lately. When I see tiny meals (snacks, really), for me they signal maybe a hidden attempt to restrict in the slightest. It comes from experience: I remember a phase in my recovery where I was almost weight restored, but thought “Ehhh… I don’t want to gain anymore. This is ridiculous, I’m fine! I don’t need that much food…” -100 cals here, 100 cals there, and I actually thought that just because I was eating more than I had when I was very sick, I thought everything was fine. It took bouts with overeating, uncomfortable feelings, confusion around food and all that other stuff that only seems to plague us ;) to make me realize that trying to fudge caloric needs does NOT work and the fact that I was still obsessing about food all the time was a big hint, too.

I’m not fully recovered because I still sometimes have a hard time accepting the amount of food I’m capable of eating. I eat it, but I think being uncomfortable is a sign I’m obviously not 100% there yet. (Sorry for the tangent, but I had to explain my thoughts a bit!) :D

51 Amanda @ .running with spoons. January 16, 2013 at 7:11 pm

No breakfast for dinner? Sad face! But that just goes to show you how different everyone’s situation is. Breakfast for dinner has been a normal thing for me for about as long as I can remember. I was such a picky eater when I was little, that my mom would end up making me pancakes, oatmeal, crepes, and cereal for dinner a lot of the time just to get me to eat. When I was deep in my disorder, I was actually afraid of having breakfast for dinner too often – thinking that lunch/dinner had to have veggies and be savory. So, the fact that I’m able to eat breakfast this much is actually a really good thing in my case ;)

Those carrots are making me hungry. I am obsessed with carrots and hummus. Each week I go through a 2 lb bag of them (sometimes in less than a week). They are definitely one of my favorite vegetables.

Lastly, isn’t plain toast delicious? I love coming up with creative toppings, but sometimes just keeping it simple is the way to go.

I am just finally getting over the flu, and I craved carbs and sweeter foods for sure. I wasn’t nauseous, but I didn’t have an appetite. Lots of oatmeal, pancakes, and granola plus bananas and clementines. I snuck in a little greens by making myself smoothies with kale, clementines, and bananas which I sweetened with stevia or honey and cinnamon! I’m still not really feeling savory foods yet, and I actually just packed myself oatmeal with a banana, chocolate protein powder, and sunbutter for lunch at work tomorrow! Oh, and I have also been wanting fried eggs. Ever since I was sick when pregnant with my daughter, I crave those when I’m sick. At least it’s some variety!
And I have ALWAYS loved dry cereal at any time of day! My favorite when I was younger was Cinnamon Toast Crunch! Now it’s Erewhorn Buckwheat and Hemp, Puffins, or Nature’s Path Gorilla Munch. Yum!!

OH i feel ya on the carbs. I’ve been um….incredibly sick the past week as well (though drug-induced rather than bug-induced) and at times all I could get down and all I wanted were pop chips and grapes. Super nutritious LOL but yeah….the thought of meat, veggies, etc makes my stomach turn when I feel that way. Breakfast for every meal? Why the heck not! I actually on the meds have been wanting more salty things (I think they make me dehydrated) so today I actually ate dinner for breakfast – leftover curry chicken with kale and sweet potatoes and grapes lol.

I’m the same way. When my stomach isn’t feeling so good, carbs are my go-to. I love that you had breakfast all day. That cookie dough smoothie sounds perfect and delicious.

Out of all cereals, I’m not sure I could really pick one that I like to eat dry. Lucky charms, fruit loops, captain crunch, honey nut cheerios, frosted flakes, trix, honey bunches of oats. They are all so good! I think that corn pops is probably the best of ‘em though for snacking.

Corn Pops were one of my favorite cereals growing up, and when it came to Lucky Charms, I’d just pick out the marshmallows :lol:

I could eat breakfast for every.single.meal, but unfortunately I have a husband who I have to cook for come dinner time. I don’t think it’ be fair to make him eggs or pancakes every night.. darnit! Ha Ha

Favorite Cereal to eat dry: Either Barbara’s Original Puffins or Chex. To close to call
when stomach is off: Smoothies always work for me!!

Just the title of the post pretty much sums up many of my days…or at least how I often wish they would go until I just really need some veggies in my life toward the end of the day. There’s always time for more cereal after dinner though! ;-)

When my stomach is off I always find that salted chips or crisps work wonders! Anything fatty and salty tends to work for me. Now a day full of breakfast foods sounds pretty wonderful to me :-)

It’s what I imagine cookie dough would taste like :lol: I don’t remember ever having the ‘real’ stuff because I’m kind of skeeved off by the idea of eating raw eggs, but the addition of oatmeal really makes it more doughy.

Breakfasts for lunch rarely happens, but breakfasts for dinners – yes, more than I could handle sometimes!

I loveeee breakfast meals… but I tend to go overboard on it easily when I have it for dinner. Still, I’m getting much better at intuitive eating and emotional eating is slowly dying away. Nothing makes me happier than realizing that after such a long period of time, the road to recovery IS possible. Reading your blog definitely helps, too! :)

When I’m feeling uneasy, I roll with carbohydrates, say oats, bread, though most of the time fresh fruits, of course!

Haha I am all about the carbs when my stomach feels off. I typically turn to mush (i.e. oatmeal) and my stomach thanks me. My mom’s oatmeal is the best though – quick oats + whole milk + brown sugar = pure heaven! I hope you’re feeling better! Breakfast for any meal is always a favorite :)

I don’t get it . You’re dinner “meal” is more like 1/2 of a night-time snack to me. And no, I don’t exercise. I just eat. Are you doing okay lately? These last few months lead me to think you struggle more than you say (not sure if blogging is a good or bad involved with that).

Your night-time snacks are upwards of 1000 calories? I’ve always been open with my struggles and I’m actually feeling pretty darned good aside from this nagging bug, so I’m not really sure what gives you the idea that I’m not doing well? :shock:
