Red River Cereal on BFBM?

Vanisle · 05-02-2008, 12:42 PM

Hi Everyone!!
Do you know if I can have red river crereal if I am following this plan?
It is a flax and cracked wheat hot ceral .
I know we can have oatmeal.
I just DL the ebook and am making my way through it,.
It is a little hard to get my head around some of the foods after the low carb lifestyle although I never cut out fruits and before going backl on induction (Atkins) I had whole grains. Also going low fat is totaly different from Atkins and although I didnt eat alot of fatty foods I used butter , mayo , ect.
I think the BFBM makes sense and I am trying to follow it faithfully.
I havent figured out the Hi Low yet but still reading .Also the 6 meals still screw me up.
I am more of a lurker than poster but am going to try and post on here more.
Some of you girls are big inspirations to me.
You look great.
I am 47 and 140 lbs but working on getting lean
Thanks everyone

You can work almost anything into a plan but I would watch for fat content (cereal usually is low) and sugar content. If you feel like posting the breakdown for it go for it.

Think of the 6 small meals like you are feeding a fire....small frequent meals keep your engine running alot better then big clunky logs on a fire!

p.s. nothing wrong with healthy fats.

I have almonds, walnuts, Full Fat cheddar cheese and salmon on my plans.

Thanks Star
I was under the impression that BFBM called for low fat cheese , ect.
The Red River has150 cal
2.5 fat
sat .1
trans0
carbs 28
fibre 6
sugar 0
protein 6

I will try to get all 6 meals in a day just hard to get a starchy and simple carb plus protein in each. I guess a fruit with the red river or oatmeal or toast and maybe some protein powder?

That looks like decent cereal to me .....are you having milk with it or dry? Don't forget egg whites/1egg for protein sources for breakfast too.

Yep oatmeal every morning here with berries!

It has been a while since I read thru BFFM besides the goal setting chapter in August.

It is all about the calories in and creating a deficit at the end of the day but my trainer lets us have full fat HARD cheddar not the processed stuff.
