[studentnurse]

Ok so I'm a couple days behind but I wanted to add in!!

-oats
-egg whites
-chicken breast
-whey
-cottage cheese
-natty peanut butter (which I sometimes eat too much of! MMM)

Ice cream is my indulgence fave food extra! PB/choc ice cream? Even better!

[GetnThere]

Yup. That's right, can be totally dangerous. I'd rather keep the breakfast cereal away and never touch it because, as I said above, the box evaporates as if it never existed.

Honestly, I am so glad I'm not the only one that can devour an entire box of breakfast cereal, not lying either....Captain Crunch, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Frosted Flakes, Fruity or Cocoa Pebbles. I keep them out of the house which is really hard cause I have two young boys. I can't control myself if any of those are in the house.

I think I might need to do a cereal binge this weekend

I am right there with both of you! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE cereal and could eat any type, any time of the day, and an outrageous amount. I too have to keep them OUT of the house and if I do purchase cereal it is a "healhty" brand... sometimes I do splurge but I make it last in the pantry for quite some time.
