Cooking is fun but diets are not. I enjoy cooking and I have cooked most of my meals for years now. I have fallen into some lazy ways instead of making breakfast I would just end up toasting some bread and throwing peanut butter and jelly on it for breakfast. I logged and weighed all of this and just the morning sandwiches were in the 1000 calloire range. I decided to swap that out a while ago and try something different for breakfast but still wanted at least a go to lazy meal. I ended up on greek yogurt with honey and some M & Ms for crunch.
