Rather than eat all my calories at one time during the day, thus expanding my stomach and having an expectation for a large meal every day, would it not be better to eat 2 to 4 times, with 1/2-1/4 the amount? Then having a "shrunken stomach" faster? Am I making sense?

So. There's this fabulous blog (no longer updated sadly) that the author posted pictures of her breakfast every day. And almost every day it was a beautiful-looking oatmeal of some sort or another. Pics are via google.com. And it made me want to make oatmeal myself. So 1/2 of this 185-calorie "recipe" will be my breakfast, so roughly 100 calories.
- 1/3 cup cooked oats (50)
- 1/3 cup 0% greek yogurt (45)
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries (30)
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed (30)
- small bit nut butter (30)
I love oatmeal/porridge and have it most mornings :D I've started trying different flavours too and it's so exciting to wake up knowing you can eat something new, yummy and guilt free (almost) and they are a great way to get rid of cravings too :)
