[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - I love this forum. Great ideas; not sure where my brain has been recently.

Can someone tell me about protein powder and chia or point me in the right direction of some solid explanation of that stuff?[/quote]

Chia is a seed from South America that expands in water, so if you drink a tablespoon or two, it will expand in your stomach so that you will feel full for a longer period of time.  I tried it and it is pretty gross and the seeds were hard to swallow....also I didn't feel full.  However there are a lot of health benefits.[/quote]

My husband puts chia seeds in oatmeal (steel cut) every morning.  He makes a big pot on Sunday evening and then eats it all week with chia, raisins, and chopped nuts.  My 4 YO will eat a small serving of it.  It is better, IMO, with some honey on it. ;-)

I'm sure you could find some recipes for fritters that use the egg substitute that you mentioned-- cheese and broccoli or other veggie combos.  I love the PP's suggestion of breakfast tacos with beans and avocado, yum![/quote]
