[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Buttered noodles is NOT a meal.  I don't consider any of your breakfast options acceptable either (too much sugar, too little protein, no veg).

To me, every meal has protein, complex carb, fruit, veg, some fat.  For a special occasion, a meal might not be as balanced (holidays, celebrations), but otherwise?  No way.[/quote]

The only sugar in breakfast is in the jelly on the waffles and in the fruit.  But I agree they aren't perfect.

Would you like to give me some ideas of no-cook meals that meet your requirements?  You have some good thoughts.[/quote]

Breakfast: smoothie made of almond milk, greek yogurt, splash of grapeseed oil, banana, 1-2 other fruits, carrot, 1-2 other veg (like cucumber, zucchini, summer squash, leftover beets or winter squash); whole grain toast on the side, lightly smeared with butter
As long as the vegetables are bland/sweet, they won't take over the flavor.  Any fruit works, but citrus can't be refrigerated for later (turns very bitter).

Lunch: Cold salad made of cold quinoa, black olives, chopped cucumbers and tomatoes, diced cold chicken or turkey (cold boiled eggs work too), garnished with mandarin slices and blueberries, very lightly sauced with olive oil and 1.5 teaspoons orange juice (mix in egg yolk if using eggs)
That's one option, but it works.  I love things that can be cooked ahead of time, prep only involves peeling/slicing/dicing and then it can sit and marinate.  Oh, and it can be assembled on Sunday night and eaten Monday and Wednesday (not after Wednesday).

btw, OP, yes, your breakfast options are full of needless sugar.  Cereals are easily absorbed by the body, and most have plenty of added sugars, frozen waffles have added sugars.  Yogurt sounds good, but most are flavored, which means added sugars, and granola has tons of fats and sugars added when it is formed into clumps to be baked.[/quote]

Lol..like most kids would eat that?[/quote]
